Stupidity

Josh Horwitz is having trouble with reality and says that all those gun sales statistics are wrong.

Some idiot:

There is only one explanation for these facts: It is the law-abiding citizens with guns, not the criminals, who are committing the majority of the gun homicides.

That’s beautiful logic.

Illegal gun ban

Mobile police ban guns at Mardi Gras. But the ban violates state law.

Super bowl commercial blogging

Updates as I feel like it

Hyundai is sexier than an Audi. Who knew?

Quicker to 60 than a porsche.

Bud lite platinum? You’re kidding?

Wait that was battleship after the naked chick. There’s no robots in battleship.

So far, these suck

The super bowl anti-gun ad

Will air only in DC. Is he even trying?

And here’s the ad. They both support the second amendment? Yeah, about as much Bloomy supports your right to eat the foods you want.

That new president smell

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership has a new president:

The Brady Campaign president, Dan Gross, lives in New York and pushed the ASK program at his previous job. In other words, he’s a big believer in the Bloomberg nannyism to get other people to dig into your personal lives at home. Perhaps the Brady board looked to Bloomberg’s work with MAIG and assumed that if they could just get someone like him, they could come back to the top of the gun control world.

His background is in advertising and non-profits, which makes him ideal since they need better press.

Taxes, how I hate them

So, with a severance package and a rollover, I’m getting pounded in taxes year. As a side note, this website actually made money for once. Who’d have thunk it?

Update: As a point of clarification, it’s not so much that this site made money as much as it is I didn’t lose money as a gun writer.

Ask away

I am a certified Concealed Carry Deadly Weapons instructor in the state of Kentucky. Ask me anything.

Size matters

And options are good:

it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean

Each serves a purpose. Each has pros and cons.

Let’s go on an outing

The outing thing is a bit silly for the reasons listed here and here. If the outing uncovers sock puppetry or someone’s affiliations, well, that’s a good reason. But when someone dons a comic book character name, puts on his wonder woman underoos and tilts at windmills for gun control, well, I’m amused. Amused that it’s in the public sphere. See, I’ve done TeeVee interviews (locally and nationally) and even write for a shooting magazine. And I use my name. The public sphere is not when you put on you sooper seekrit identity and expect to be taken seriously. These are our opponents. And exposing idiocy is something we should do. That and the guy actually is also a sock puppet. And I am all for pointing out the silliness our opponents engage in. Especially when they work for anti-gun groups.

Stuff you won’t eat

I’ve been watching Bizarre Foods, wherein our portly host travels the world eating some odd foods. Honestly, that might come in on my top 5 cool jobs I’d like to have, right behind professional bourbon taster. Now, I’ll pretty much try anything twice. First time to see if it sucked and a second time to confirm that it sucked now that I know what to expect. This works for me because if I hadn’t tried that second oyster, second bite of kimchi or second bite of roe, I’d be missing out on some really good eats.

Anyway, an episode I caught recently was in Thailand and a local village slaughtered a cow. They immediately ate the warm fat and other muscle. I’ve had a few raw beef dishes that were quite good. I’d try that, though it being roughly body temperature at that point may make me a bit hesitant.

But then, the villagers offered the show host the partially ingested contents of the cow’s stomach. Sorry, not going there. Stomachs are odd places where all manner of stuff grows. And, unless cleaned thoroughly, I’m not touching it. The host of the show agreed and didn’t try it.

Update: Oh and I would not eat bugs whole. See, I have this thing and bugs really creep me right out if their legs touch me. If you want to see me jump around and scream like a girl, just wait until a bug lands on me. Much less putting them in my mouth.

When Criminals Face Armed Resistance from Citizens

An upcoming study by the Cato Institute. Also, they have a map that tracks defensive gun uses.

Reciprocity

The press and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) are not fans.
