The folks at Shooting Illustrated got their hands on one, with video.

Called “no knock raid”

Some numbers.

Liston:

… one hoplophobic professor made a good point, that the legislature is posted against all weapons. His question was essentially, why would the legislature legalize carry on campuses, while prohibiting the same in the legislature?

A round up:

For the latest, head to John’s and keep scrolling.

Democrats say that because those in charge of enforcing gun laws are idiots, we clearly need more gun laws to enforce.

Bob: The Definitive Scandal: ‘Gunwalker’ Much Worse Than ‘Iran-Contra’

AZ Governor issues a statement: Outraged.

John Richardson notes some cool but spendy tactical shorts. $107 is pretty high. I have three pairs of these LA Police Gear that are 1/5th the price and have no complaints.

An end to ethanol subsidies?

Heh.

NY Post:

Greek anarchists threw petrol bombs and clashed with police during a major protest Wednesday against fresh government austerity measures, with at least two people reported injured.

Anarchists would, I think, want more austerity measures.

While shooting an anti-violence film, a student and some teachers are arrested on gun charges.

I was looking at getting a new one for the den. Criteria: flatscreen, wall-mounted, 55 inches or larger, and wireless internet ready.

Then I started looking at TeeVees and there are about eleventy billion different kinds (LCD, LED, 3D, DLP, Plasma, etc.). I have a plasma upstairs and am plenty happy with it. But the old big screen downstairs from circa 1999 is on its last legs.

What say you?

Wiener to quit.

Update: Other puns:

Pulling out?

Going down?

Electile dysfunction?

Riots in Vancouver over a game their sports team lost. To Americans, who don’t really like hockey. Or soccer.

And you’ll get shot in the face.

Wal-Greens may want to rethink their policy.

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is clamoring that Issa’s staff releasing emails violates a judge’s order. They don’t really care about real gun violence, apparently.

And the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership says it’s still the gun lobby’s fault because ATF only let a few (2,500 by some counts) guns into Mexico.

John Richardson notes another case of ATF allowing guns to be smuggled into Mexico. And more from Jim Shepherd.

Soon, nothing will happen. Just like in all the other states with similar laws.

Issa staff leaks emails. And knowledge of the operation goes to the top. And they lied about it.

NSSF has a statement and report.

Links to documents and commentary from John.

Michael Bane has more, notably speculation on abuse of power:

I think ATF believed it had enough regulatory juice to keep the gun stores involved from talking, or if not keeping them from talking demonizing them, and maybe driving them out of business, if they did.

Nice video of stuff from the LuckyGunner shoot.

No: The city government of Cedar Falls, IA voted almost unanimously to force citizens to place the keys to their commercial properties in a lock box accessible to city government employees.

I’m digging Reason’s Ask A Libertarian Series.

A comparison.

10 lawmakers suing the president claiming that the continued military action in Libya wasn’t authorized by congress.

And the Obama administration argues that lobbing missiles into a country and spending $716M aren’t actually, you know, hostilities.

Say what you want about Bush but his wars were authorized.

A round up of gunny gifts for dad.

GunsAmerica has some reviews.

If this economy hasn’t rebounded in three years, I’m a one-termer.

Well, here’s a handy score card. Honestly, though, the fact that the price of a gallon of gas is up almost 80% isn’t exactly the president’s fault. The fact the .gov may default on its debt though is.

If you look hard, there’s a PPS50.
