Well, the air. A company that puts cremated ashes into ammo.

From their blog on ATF and guns in Mexico:

Penalties associated with straw purchasing, up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, should be supplemented with a mandatory minimum sentence. NSSF supports a five (5) year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone convicted of lying to a federally licensed firearms retailer as a means of unlawfully purchasing (straw buying) a firearm. A slap on the wrist should not be given by judges to individuals who knowingly put firearms into the hands of prohibited persons and drug cartels.

Furthermore, NSSF is renewing calls for Congress, the Department of Justice and the Administration to once again fund the Don’t Lie for the Other Guy anti-straw purchasing campaign – a joint firearms industry / law enforcement program that utilizes both public awareness and firearms retailer education to achieve its goal of further reducing illegal firearm purchases.

I’m not sure that would really help. I darn sure don’t want to give the agency responsible for enforcing these things more money or power.

So I couldn’t go taunt them:

Several people from across the East Tennessee protested the lack of a deal on the debt ceiling crisis in front of the Blount County Courthouse on Tuesday.

Organized through MoveOn.org, the protesters were originally trying to protest in front of the district office of U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan on Broadway Avenue, but later moved to the courthouse lawn. Duncan recently moved his office to the courthouse.

Seems they want to raise taxes on thecomfortable upper middle class err the rich. Meanwhile, this:

“— But, a fair deal,” Don Scott said. “That means not only cutting programs but increasing revenues.”

“They are trying to balance the budget on the back of the poor,” Dan Dobbs said.

Violence Policy Center stupidity: Mini-14 Is “Poor Man’s Assault Rifle”

Let’s see, bare bones mini 14 goes for about $650. Bare bones AR goes for about $650.

The myth of safe places. No place is exempt.

City Councilman Allen Schulman of Canton Ohio goes a long way to explain the conduct of Officer ‘Roid Rage by demonstrating that in Canton, the culture of arrogant douchebaggery flows right from the city council top and trickles all the way down through the police department

At Dollywood’s Splash Country, a lesbian was asked to turn her shirt that said “marriage is so gay” around. She was told by the gate attendant, an employee, to do so. Seems the statement on her shirt was “objectionable”. Frankly, that woman’s haircut is far more objectionable than her shirt. But that’s a separate issue.

Now, I’ve been to Splash Country a time or two and, let me tell you, if the most objectionable thing I saw there was that shirt, I’d be surprised. At Splash Country, I’ve seen every variation of “I’m with stupid” and “bikini inspector” T-shirts. An inordinate amount of body hair. I’ve seen a lot of anecdotal data supporting Tennessee’s obesity rate. I’ve seen all manner of misbehaved kids and all manner of Cletus saying “hey, ya’all, watch this!” It’s Sevierville, so expect a Confederate flag or 30.

I wouldn’t even notice a couple of lesbians enjoying a water park. I’d notice their hairstyles.

I also notice the KNS doesn’t allow comments on the story.

* No really. Not sure what happened. I mean, damn, that’s my thing.

Oleg on blue laws:

The only result it has achieved so far is fostering contempt and the animosity for the meddlers in the legislature and for those who lobbied for such restrictions. I can buy the drinks on another day, but the resentment over the imposition remains.

A couple of charts showing how screwed we are. And this:

If the entire U.S budget were cut to zero, effective immediately—the military, all entitlements, the electricity bill for the Capitol—there still wouldn’t be enough money to cover the payments on old debt that come due every day.

Anyone seriously talking about “dum dum bullets” is probably a dum dum.

In Ohio, the court seems to have ignored the second amendment argument.

The Brady Campaign sees the writing on the wall.

Media Matters lies (as shocking a statement as ‘water is wet’) claiming that the gun was an assault rifle. It was not.

But the strict gun laws are easy to ignore. And only apply to the law-abiding.

In Norway, gun ownership is common and violence is not.

All guns are always loaded:

A United Airlines employee was accidentally shot by a passenger who was trying to check a hunting rifle for a flight at Louis Armstrong International Airport in Kenner.

Man corners female hotel worker with a knife to her throat. He started to tie her up, for a rape. At which point, she drew her gun and shot him. He died.

Also, the uses the term fought back. We don’t realize that she pulled a heater and introduced his insides to the outside until paragraph four.

Nancy reviews a holster from Dragon Leatherworks.

Hero: German tourist rescued 20 teens.

Not that it would have mattered but Norway police rarely go armed.

Perfect storm if idiocy. Or evil.

Nemerov has more on ATF forcing dealers to sell illegally. Is that to inflate numbers? Seriously, is it crazy to speculate that since the simplest explanation for Gunwalker was to make a pitch for more gun control and more funding?

The WaPo stops ignoring the scandal. Issues “nuanced” report called an investigation that tries it’s damnedest to minimize what was happening.

Getting deeper and deeper:

When asked about the breakdown, Stephen Fischer, a spokesman for the NICS System, said the FBI had no comment. However, an ATF agent who worked on the Fast and Furious investigation, told Fox News that NICS officials called the ATF in Phoenix whenever their suspects tried to buy a gun. That conversation typically led to a green light for the buyers, when it should have stopped them.

Oh, my.

In Tennessee, guns are not registered.
