The NYT poops its pants over the Glock.

Also: Law-enforcement agencies, including the NYPD, should boycott gun manufacturers who produce high-capacity magazines like the one used to shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others, a top city official said yesterday.

Meanwhile, SI gives you the skinny on the Glock.

The proposed limits on regular capacity magazines are asinine for a few reasons. You’d have to presume people will not reload, which is done pretty easily and quickly:

And under the presumption no one will ever reload, you’re also admitting that a body count of X+1 is fine and dandy.

Also, in the video, I like how they note they use a magazine designed to hold 8 rounds to simulate legislatively reduced magazine capacity.

PDB: Unsighted pistol fire is a vital lifesaving skill that may be used under limited circumstances, and is something that most shooters don’t practice enough. But it is not a solution for all problems, and is not a substitute for learning to shoot your pistol!

One gun, four lasers. CrimsonTrace is the fastest. Of course it is. Just grip the gun and it comes on. No gizmos or switches.

Couple weeks back, there was a Honda Element in the left hand lane, doing less than the speed limit beside another car. For miles. Had traffic on 129 backed up as far as I could see. And at the last minute, the driver needed to make a right hand turn. So, s/he did what these people usually do and cut three people off, creating a clusterfuck at the intersection. The vehicle was decked out in a few Libertarian bumper stickers. Of note was the sticker pimping the Blount County Libertarian Party.

This morning, same thing. Only it was a blue Chevy Aveo. All manner of LP stickers and Ron Paul swag. Holding up traffic on Alcoa Highway by staying in the left lane and going slow. Then realizing at the last minute s/he needed to get on I140 and cut people off to make the right turn.

Granted, my evidence is anecdotal and my sample size is small. But what the hell is wrong with you people? First, you can’t fucking drive. Next, it’s crappy marketing. You’re not going to get supporters if you drive like a moron. And libertarian minded folks like me are now annoyed by you.

A real Libertarian will get the hell out of the way.

Gun nut has anti-gun dad.

A ban on doctors asking patients if they own guns? I don’t mind them asking but if it’s the intro to a guns are bad, uhmmkay speech filled with AMA lies about guns, then I have an issue.

Is Heath Schuler planning on breaking the law? He shouldn’t carry in a snow storm either.

The answer is always no.

That one does not have a right to drive. SCOTUS has held you generally have a right to travel freely. The most common means of travel is driving.

Oops.

ATF allows guns to go to Mexico. Sort of like the drug war. Create a problem so you can have a job fixing it?

I think CNN is trying to say we should ban high capacity magazines for 105mm howitzers.

How would law-abiding gun owners know how far they are from government officials? Unless the statute also requires government officials to wear, let’s say, cowbells and gun owners to carry NFL yardage chains.
