So reports Josh Gerstein:

The National Rifle Association is vowing to sue the Obama administration after it announced Monday that it will begin to require gun dealers in four border states to send reports to the government following multiple sales of some semi-automatic longarms.

“They don’t have the statutory authority to do it and we’ll file a lawsuit as soon as the first letters are sent” demanding the sales information from dealers, the NRA’s legislative director Chris Cox told POLITICO Monday afternoon.

Good.

An appropriately named column too.

Via Joe, who notes: What isn’t explicitly stated is that the requiring the reporting of gun sales cannot be done by executive order. A change of this type requires legislative action.

The NRA has a petition.

Memphis bans spray paint sales to minors.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole has ordered the reporting of multiple rifle sales to ATF for southern states (racist!). Even though the move is probably illegal.

In an update to this, a look at the laws, rules, and arbitrary rules that may be in place. I still rather have my doubts about this. But we’ll see.

Pilot loses gun. IIRC, pilots can only have their weapons while in the cockpit when it’s locked. And they must leave them in their bag until they get there. This policy seems to be causing some problems. This is not the first time unnecessary gun handling via bureaucratic fiat contributed to gun safety issues on plane. A bit back, a pilot had a discharge in the cockpit.

Yes

Good advice:

As a general rule unless its some snot-nosed Ritalin-kid mouthing off, I’m going to assume they do indeed mean to kill me over something as trivial as my wallet.

Once someone presents a weapon and threatens you, there is disparity of force. Act accordingly. Attack brutally and unrelentingly until the threat stops or runs away.

Has the head of ATF blown the cover of agents?

AZ senator likes her pink Ruger and shows it off to a reporter. By pointing it at him.

Not helping.

Democrats oppose choice. Granted, the initial bill was a Republican bill.

Senator McConnell says that because of the trial, terrorists could win. Because juries are so stupid. Or something.

Caylee’s law is a bad idea. I’ll go a step further and say it’s irretrievably stupid. So, of course, Tennessee Democrats are looking to pass one in our state. And it will probably pass. And it’s stupid.

Why there was an acquittal:

The prosecution did not prove a cause of death.

The prosecution therefore did not prove that the death was caused by another person, because they don’t know the cause of death.

Do I think she did it? Yup. But the prosecution sucked and we don’t go executing people because some guy on the internet thinks you did something.

I’m all out!

So reports the proprietor of Elite Tactical Ammunition. I searched for a ruling on this and cannot find one. However, the president of the company states that the ATF SWAT Team showed up with a search warrant and told him that.

Interesting, if true.

On a recent vacation, our room contained this toilet:

Now, I understand the reasoning here. The conservation minded would like you to use one button for number one and the other for number two, thereby saving some water and utility bills and stuff.

But here’s how it actually worked. The kids saw the two buttons and I explained to them how it worked. They each then proceeded to hit each button about six times so they could verify that, yes, one button did actually use less water.

Looks the Obama administration may go the executive order route:

But in a nod to the difficulties of getting legislation through a Republican-run House of Representatives, only executive orders or administrative actions — and not an actual bill — are expected to be handed to Congress.

And:

Administration officials were coy on the specifics, from the reforms the Department of Justice would recommend or when it would actually make those recommendations.

Lacking any specifics or no real plan at all?

A motion for injunction in NRA’s case:

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is filing a motion for an injunction asking the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois to immediately strike down Illinois’ complete and total ban on carrying firearms for self-defense outside the home or place of business.
