Readers of this blog have known for a while that Para is moving shop to the United States. Their move has made the Charlotte Business Journal.

That’s the meme in the press, once again, to talk up a ban on weapons that look like assault weapons. Robb notes something odd about the incident:

Now this is important. The police have NO idea who did this, NO information at all. But guess what? They know EXACTLY they type of weapon used

Well, kinda. I guess:

No one is galaxy-hopping, or even beaming people around, but for the first time, information has been teleported between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter — about a yard.

In Belgium, a mass stabbing. This one at a daycare. And one reported earlier at VT.

In New Jersey, 30 days does not mean 30 days.

And the KCSO is figuring that out: Knox County sheriff’s pension fund in trouble already.

Hillary Clinton’s replacement, Kristen Gillibrand, is reportedly pro-gun:

A big gun supporter, she’s been given a 100% approval rating by the NRA — she’s one of the extremely few Democrats on a federal level to win official NRA endorsement — and, this fall, she voted in favor of a controversial bill to repeal District of Columbia laws prohibiting the possession of semiautomatics.

From her website:

I, like many natives of Upstate New York, grew up in a hunting family and own a gun. I learned at an early age how to safely handle a gun and I believe that every law-abiding citizen should always have the right to own arms.

The Second Amendment of the Constitution prohibits the federal government from denying law-abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms. And I intend to uphold this right through my votes and actions in Congress.

More Democrats like this, please.

Update: And she’s pissing off the right people:

“I’ve spent 15 years trying to prevent gun violence in this country, and if he does pick her and if no one goes and primaries her, I will primary her,” McCarthy said. “I will do that. I’m not going to give up on this. I’m not going to let New York State get represented by someone who gets a 100 percent rating from the NRA.”

With bonus STFU from Chuck Schumer (D-Own Gravitational Field).

I doubt the one with the gun is accurate since we know he doesn’t think people should own them.

Bloggers increase number of NRA memberships. I’m sure there’s more. After all, not everyone reported that a blog inspired them to join. I know there were people who mentioned joining in comments here and I inspired at least two other bloggers to join. Hard to keep an accurate tally since we have a lot of lurkers that read the gun blogs.

David notes that Mayors Against Guns hasn’t updated their list of members to reflect certain changes.

Ya know, I’m one who is on record as stating that abortion should stay legal. But this ad is one of the more powerful ads I’ve ever seen.

I guess someone didn’t want to take a test: Authorities today found no guns at three Hamilton County schools that were searched by explosives detection canines as part of a gun-free school zone campaign.
