Amazon has everything.

Mayors Against Guns listed mayors who weren’t members.

Everyone knew about fast and furious except Holder. Tell me another one.

I told you he wanted to be famous on the internet. Warning, gratuitous use of elementary school bad words:

A guy on the show Doomsday Preppers has been declared a mental defective and had his guns seized. He went to a cardiologist and refused treatment. Said he was suicidal.

A good read by Todd G:

People often get emotionally attached to their choices. Whether it’s the Chevy owner who has to insist Ford sucks or an iPhone user who prays for the redemption of all Android heathens, sometimes it’s difficult to see past works for me and realize it doesn’t necessarily equate with best for everyone everywhere every minute under every circumstance.

No word on beans in chili though.

Queens parents upset because their kid’s spelling word is ‘gun’. Yes, let’s demonize an object that we’d rather pretend doesn’t exist then wonder why kids have gun accidents. Time to be the adult there, Sparky.

Some advice at Popular Mechanics. I note with some pleasure that they say to keep your gun and flashlight handy. That’s winning.

Some times, the jokes write themselves.

Rumors say he’s dead, killed even.

No tweets for a while.

Trailer here. Dead terrorists, check. Dead zombies, check. All that’s missing is dead Nazis.

In what seems to be the trend of Lucas going batty, he says Han never shot first. You imagined it. It’s your fault.

A law ends the state’s prohibition of sound suppressors for police.

The Tennessean:

Guy Denton Savage, 42, of London, was the owner of the now-defunct Sabre Defence Industries, a Nashville-based gun manufacturer and U.S. military supplier that shuttered operations in 2010 after a raid by federal authorities. In January 2011, a federal grand jury in Nashville issued a 21-count indictment charging Savage and four of his Middle Tennessee associates with illegally smuggling guns overseas.

The four Nashville executives quickly reached plea agreements with the government, admitting their roles in the alleged conspiracy and promising prosecutors their ongoing cooperation.

Savage’s response? He sent the federal court a bill for $250 million.

The invoice — the amount of business and personal damages Savage claims to have suffered as a result of the prosecution — is included in hundreds of pages of court filings and letters that Savage has mailed from the United Kingdom to U.S. District Judge Todd J. Campbell, who is presiding over the case.

NRA-Drafted Employee Protection Legislation on the Agenda in Senate Committees; Also House Companion Bills Assigned to Subcommittee!

Mayr Rahm Emanuel (that phrase still gives the heebie jeebies) wants a handgun registry.

My five year old son walks up to me and the Mrs. and says he wants to be on youtube. He had a few ideas about what he wanted to do. I looked at the wife and said: He could be famous on the internet, which is kind of like being the one guy at the bar who doesn’t suck at karaoke.

He recorded some stuff featuring his new favorite toy (Trash Packs) and we may put some up tonight.

I guess this high capacity clip for the Garand means the Obama administration won’t let them be imported:

The paper of making up the record did a hit piece on NC gun laws. The shill who wrote the piece, Michael Luo, was asked to provide his data to a NC state legislator who was maybe looking at laws to address the concerns. The shill refused to turn it over. This is likely because his piece is false or because the data doesn’t exist.

What media bias?

Teach your kids to fight, it may come in handy: Ga. girl fights off would-be abductor in Walmart. The girl is 7.

I actually talked a little bit about self-defense with my kids and my nephews and nieces. Teaching them useful things like fight in public and never go to a second location. And not to scream help in public since that doesn’t get attention but rather to scream things like You’re not my daddy. I don’t know you. Leave me alone.

That’s what Europeans call the automatic because Americans cannot drive manuals. Like others in my age group, I learned on a manual. And my first car was a manual. But they just don’t make many of them these days. The last time I actually drove a manual was when friend came by so we could test drive the BMW Z4 she was thinking about buying.

When I set about car buying and wound up with tactical car, I almost got the model with the manual transmission just because it would be fun to drive. I didn’t because now car companies market manuals as sport packages and up the price a bit. I passed because the dealer didn’t stock them and I’d have had to wait. I kind of regret that now.

I will teach my kids to drive a manual and, likely, my next car will have a manual transmission just to make it fun. I figure when it’s time for me to get a new ride, the used BMW M3s will be reasonably priced.

Right here.

Richard on the Blackhawk Serpa, notes that negligence does not mean the holster is a bad design. And I know he’s serious because he capitalized Blackhawk and used an exclamation point. Ok, kidding aside, I’m torn on this one. I have a Serpa and have carried it some.

On one hand, folks point out that it is a bad design because you have to use your trigger finger to release the retention device. Under stress, you could continue contracting your finger and shoot yourself in the leg. On the other, folks point out that you should train with the holster, like anything else.

On the third hand, is me. It’s a combination. A design is just that. The way something works. Having an issue with a design is one thing. Accepting it another. For instance, I happen to not like a gun with a magazine disconnect safety. I think it’s unnecessary and, should you want to de-cock such a firearm, it adds danger where there shouldn’t be. But it’s something that can be worked around. It does’t mean that I blame a magazine disconnect for my negligent discharge. What I did was use it in a manner the design isn’t meant for. I didn’t use it the way it was supposed to be used.

I think the verdict is still out on the Serpa.

New products for February.
