We must ban potatoes

Because they can be carved into a gun shape. For the children.

Texas Department of Public Safety suspends use of Smith and Wesson M&P

They don’t like the Kool-Aid.

Seems there’s an issue they’re having:

The agency decided to halt the use of the new handguns after a couple of the weapons experienced slight movement of less than 10 microns after repeated firing of about 3,000 rounds, Vinger said. A micron is one-millionth of a meter. Movement in a gun could affect accuracy. There were also bullet “feeding and ejection” issues. None of the performance issues resulted in any injuries. And so far, DPS has not been able to replicate these issues in subsequent testing, Vinger said.

I have no idea what that means. Slight movement of what? And I’m guessing ammo or training issues.

Expectations

Some are lower than others.

Everytown for Gun Safety

I’ve stopped keeping up with their failure after failure because it was always the same story. As Robb points out, it’s genuinely hard to tell parody from real anti-gun people.

SCOTUS takes no action on Drake

The challenge to NJ “may issue” carry, which means “will not unless you’re connected”.

Images of the antis

The ignorance is profound.

Maybe next, they’ll get computers

ATF brings NFA processing into the 1990s. Why the process is more than a NICS check done while you wait, I don’t know.

While we’re at it, everyone gets a unicorn

An ignorant Senator from MA has introduced a bill to ban the sale of handguns that aren’t “personalized”. Trying to go for the old smart gun thing. This technology doesn’t exist in a reliable fashion.

Interesting point, I thought.

Instant libertarian, just add capitalism and bureaucracy

So simple kids get it

Couple of weekends ago, our neighborhood had a garage sale. We set out to rid our home of various useless crap. Being neighborhood wide, we had hundreds of people come through. Junior gets the brilliant idea that, since these shoppers are in the hood for a long time, some of them must be thirsty and they’ll buy lemonade. She makes up a pitcher and sells out quick at a $1 a pop. On her second pitcher, I introduce some reality:

Me: So, for every lemonade you sell, you know I get fifty cents, right?

Junior: What?

Me: Well, you’re using my water, my lemonade, my cups, my sugar, my table, my chair and you’re on my driveway.

Junior: But I’m doing the work!

Me: With my stuff.

Wife: Oh stop it.

Me: I’m just trying to teach her something.

Junior: Oh.

Me: And you’ve got to pay taxes. I’d figure if you’re selling it for an even dollar 8 cents or so should cover sales tax. Then F&E taxes. And income taxes. Plus you probably need a permit and an inspection to make sure there are no cooties in your lemonade. And you’ll probably have to buy some sort of approved device for maintaining the lemonade at a safe temperature.

Junior: It’s called ICE.

Me: Yeah, but it melts.

Junior: That’s stupid. I’m keeping the money.

Me: Good girl! But you’re still paying me.

Junior: *evil stare*

Grassroots v. top down

John Lott looks at the difference between Bloomberg and NRA:

Gun control has largely been a top down effort. Michael Bloomberg’s latest announcement that he will spend another $50 million to push gun control – 2.5 times the amount spent by the NRA annually on political activities – is all too typical. Last year, gun control groups, largely due to Bloomberg’s money, outspent gun rights groups by about 7.4 to 1 on TV advertising.
