SAF challenges Cali’s “assault weapons” law

The Second Amendment Foundation’s press release:

SAF is joined in the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, by the CalGuns Foundation and Brendan John Richards, an honorably-discharged Marine and Iraq war veteran, who was arrested and jailed in May 2010 and August 2011. On both occasions, charges against Richards were dismissed when it was determined that he had not violated the law because firearms in his possession on both occasions were not “assault weapons” as defined by California law. They are represented by attorneys Donald Kilmer of San Jose and Jason A. Davis of Mission Viejo.

SAF and CalGuns do good work.

Car Blogging

605 HP 2012 Ford Raptor Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Expedition Truck or, as I would call it, The Earth Fucker.

The Doking, a coal powered err electric car that gets to 60 in 4.2. And it proves my wife’s point that all eco-friendly cars are kind of ugly.

Infiniti to make an electric sports car?

Jaguar XJ. And there’s a supercharged version, which can pass anything but a repair shop.

In the bag

I asked what was in your bags and you answered:

At lost and found, it’s even labeled.

A pic and list of one of the more complete models I’ve seen.

Minimalist

The Duck lays it out

US Palm Defender Armor

Body armor specifically designed and targeted for the civilian market. I find that interesting.

AR v. AK

Heh

Gun Porn

Czech these out

Colt Government 1911

I got you all in Czech.

Gas machine gun.

Black Rifle Friday

Brownells is counting down to their big sale.

What’s in your bag?

i has a stuff

Could be handy

A reader emails that he’s looking to make his gun safe’s electronic lock Electromagnetic pulse proof. Thought it was an interesting question. Thoughts?

Heard around the house

Discussing kids’ party ideas with the wife last night and she says that it’s kind of sad that most parents have this germophobia thing because it’d be kind of fun to let kids bob for apples. I told her that’s one of the issues facing the nation today. A nation of pansies. The first generation of kids who grew up using hand sanitizer every 30 seconds and everyone gets a trophy is currently Occupying Whatever.

She asks me then Where did that come from?

But, she’s right, parents these days probably wouldn’t let their kids bob for apples.

Unsolicited advice to stupid people

If you’re using the office coffee station, do not stir your coffee with the same spoon used to get the sugar out of the sugar dish. And if you do, don’t put it back in the sugar dish.

Interesting chart

No longer fits the narrative

Democrats go silent on Fast and Furious.

Some good from the Occupy Whatever movement

Turning people into gun owners:

I am not overly concerned about any direct confrontation from anyone in any current “Occupy” movement. But I am very concerned about the potential for violence coming from the seed of Occupy.

And, yes, you should buy a gun.

Front, toward enemy

Purpose of the single round on the AK barrel?

Forgotten Weapons

Cool website. You can spend a whole morning there.

News consumption

Different devices at different times.

Gun rights on campus

A push in Tennessee following an armed robbery.

HR822

Chuck Schumer not so smug.

But I read on the internet that NRA hates NFA weapons

NRA’s hunting policy guy talks about sound suppressors: in reality suppressors are commonly used by hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens who appreciate the many benefits of reducing harmful sound.

Indeed. They are safety equipment and should be treated as such.

GlowAmmo

Handgun tracer ammo? I guess it could be useful for learning a bullet’s flight path.

Blogging secrets to success

Someone wrote a book about it. And they sent me one. I’ll have to check it out because, apparently, I suck at blogging.

Bring enough gun . . .

For you. I dunno, needs more rant and Joe Biden robots.

“I thought I was doing something good”

A good read on the dealer that ATF told to sell weapons to cartel members.

Let’s add another X v. Y

Old and busted: GLock v. 1911. New hotness: Glock v. M&P.

Put to good use

I mentioned Carolyn McCarthy’s free target pasters. One was put to good use.

It’s what socialists do

Disarming Venezuela.

This makes me grin

Two year old girl disassembles an AR:

Kindle Fire Review

Alan has a review of the Kindle Fire: What it isn’t: iPad killer. I don’t think anything is in iPad killer. Most iPad people love their iPads.

I played with the Fire at Target this week. My thoughts were basically that it was pretty cool but I have no idea what I would use it for.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
