Awesome:

At 9 o’clock this morning, Sgt. Sandra Coast will graduate from Basic Combat Training on Fort Leonard Wood, officially beginning her Army career – at 51 years old.

I have a way with words and not a good one:

Like a KRISS, it seems pointless but darn fun.

In an update to the NH town getting a tank, there’s a protest website. And this made me laugh.

From Cracked. It’s from 2010 but I don’t remember seeing it before.

Bitter:

According to the coverage of the potential sale of the two primary Philadelphia newspapers, the New York Times seems concerned that the papers will become nothing more than mouthpieces for the Democratic Party and union leaders.

That’s funny, right there.

Some magical thinking that a public service announcement will stop violence. Who exactly do they think they’re reaching here?

The Three Rules on Prime Time network TV:

In VA, the bill to limit access to those with carry permits isn’t moving forward. Just like in several other states, it’s killed by the GOP. My theory (since I’ve received such mailers) is that the politicos want access to the list so they can send you political junk mail.

From the live free or die state.

Police in a small NH town wanted to waste tax dollars on an armored vehicle. You know, to fight terrorists and stuff. But that plan is on hold after residents of the town found out about it:

Resistance began with Mike Clark, a 27-year-old handyman. Clark, who said he’s had a couple encounters with Keene police and currently faces a charge of criminal mischief, read about the Homeland Security grant in the newspaper. “The police are already pretty brutal,” Clark said, claiming he was roughed up in both his encounters with local police. “The last thing they need is this big piece of military equipment to make them think they’re soldiers.”

You can have my navigation system, dvd player, bluetooth, and iPod connectivity when you pry it from my cold dead hands

Big Brother in your car:

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, in the non-binding guidelines issued today, also called for disabling manual texting, Internet browsing, 10-digit phone dialing and the ability to enter addresses into a built-in navigation system for drivers unless the car is in park.

The latter is already here and it’s annoying. My wife’s Earthfucker has a fancy navigation system that you can’t edit while the vehicle is moving. It’s also not smart enough to enable editing of it when there’s a passenger in the car. We’ve had to actually stop the vehicle a few times to key an address instead of it being smart enough to realize that there’s a passenger in the car to key it.

Update: Feds Push NY Towards Full Ban On Electronic Devices In Cars

Bolt action rifles

lolwut.

Tackling the important issues: In Arizona, a bill to make it illegal to airbrush women in advertisements without disclosing it.

Ruger LCP v. Kel-Tec P3AT

Gen 4 Glock 21 vs. Glock 21SF

Some good questions.

He has a position statement on his site. Via Jacob, who notes It’s just words with no substance. So, it’s just like Romney?

Another reason the Brady grades are pointless: They’re inaccurate.

Paper mill that used to make news print now making toilet paper.

Mentioned the marine arrested for carrying a gun in NYC and how he did not accept the plea deal. Some more items:

The marine calls their laws illogical. They are but that’s not a good legal defense.

NY state of mind: Gun amnesty for criminals, felony charges for unwitting Marine

Former governor says to drop the charges.

If you wish to contribute to his legal defense, an arfcommer tells you how.

Obama is glad that men with guns protect his daughter.

A look at the hypocrisy of Captain Coo Coo Banana. Why, it’s like they don’t believe their own propaganda or something.

Review: UnderTech Undercover Compression Shorts

Want to know what you want them to make for the Smith and Wesson M&P line of pistols. My vote is for a 22LR conversion kit.

Giethner says Obama budget is unsustainable. For the second year in a row.

31 year old mother dead. Had a restraining order against the killer.

I linked the article earlier but this quote is telling:

Because there’s no way that the current forces on our side can combat the NRA. They’re just too big. They have an enormous amount of money and people, and they throw their weight around in a pretty big fashion

Elliot Fineman of the National Gun Victims Action Council, who just recently said that they outnumbered us 50:1. Grassroots, you have none.

Short version: There’s nothing to it.

But here’s a few notes about it. Read the rest of this entry »
