Concealed carry holders: They mostly seem like ordinary folks.

Obama’s lawyers sent letters to TV stations telling them to stop running NRA ads or we’ll shut you down. Kinda funny that the ads aren’t even running in one of the places they’re threatening. Dissent must be silenced.

Sebastian says: This is Chicago politics at its finest folks. If you can?t win fair, win dirty.

Insty has a round up of reaction.

More on the election theft in Tennessee.

Over at subguns, we learn that International Traffic in Arms Regulations fees are going up:

The US State Department issued final rule making in today’s Federal Register. The new registration fee will be $2,250 per year. The fee increases if one conducts export activity.

The prior 2-year registration is no longer permitted; the only option available is for a one-year registration.

Prince Law Offices:

In a major victory for those of us arguing that the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) is insufficient for criminal proceedings, Dr. Fritz Scheuren, ?the? statistician in the United States (possibly the world), today informed the 10th District Court that the NFRTR is insufficient for criminal proceedings. While no decision has been rendered in the case of US v. Larry Douglas Friesen, this is a MAJOR defeat for the BATFE, who, over the years, has argued that although the NFRTR is flawed, it still can be used in criminal proceedings. To understand just how flawed the NFRTR is, see my article on the NFRTR violating Due Process.

If the US loses this case, there is some speculation on whether the BATFE will seek to appeal the decision because an appellate ruling that the NFRTR is insufficient would have disastrous consequences for the BATFE and the NFRTR. It is this author?s opinion that the BATFE would likely not appeal so to protect the integrity of the NFRTR in other court proceedings. Nevertheless, in any future cases, a competent attorney will be adding Dr. Scheuren as an expert to invalidate the NFRTR.

ATF’s own agents have noted that the NFRTR is corrupt. Past coverage of the ATF and the NFRTR here, here, and here.

Update: David has more.

Sebastian calls for general amnesty.

From John Lott.

Also, PBS looks at various fact-checking sites.

Mr. C. notes that ParaUSA is donating a gun to the Gun Blogger Rendezvous. Cool.

Shaping up to be quite the event. I’m still bummed I can’t make it.

PGP has an interesting observation:

But when you get down to it, the real question is where?s the pro-RKBA side?s motivation to lie in the first place? I can?t imagine a candidate in recent memory for any national office more philosophically opposed to our point of view than Obama. There?s no reason for us to have to fib, since the facts of the case pretty plainly make it clear a pro-RKBA voter can?t pull a lever for Obama, period.

Greg wonders if CBS stole borrowed heavily from a Brady Campaign graphic.

Meanwhile, CBS is the latest media outlet to cover for Obama’s record on gun rights. CBS notes Obama’s endorsement by the American Hunters And Shooters Association but doesn’t bother to do three seconds of Googling to determine that they are a false flag operation founded by anti-gunners and the Democrat Leadership Council.

And this is pretty rich:

According to Democratic political consultant Dave ?Mudcat? Saunders, a former John Edwards advisor who is known for pushing Democrats to take rural voters? concerns more seriously, it is McCain, not Obama, whom gun owners should fear. Saunders argues that while Obama has essentially vowed to leave the gun owners alone, McCain has stood by his position on gun shows.

Now, McCain is not perfect on guns but he’s better than the last three presidents on the issue. And Obama’s plan calls for gun bans, which is not leaving us alone.

Les Jones: Natural point of aim – aiming with your feet instead of your hands

An interesting read on some suspicious activity on a political futures exchange.

Spot the assault weapon.

Heh:

However, Blue Island Police Chief Douglas Hoglund shut down the event just 30 minutes after it began. Hoglund said the building didn’t have a business license and no one authorized by a law enforcement agency was there to take possession of the traded-in guns.

Joe got his. Robb reportedly got his last night.

I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be last.

So, is he calling blacks and Jews animals?

Oleg needs help:

In December 2002, I founded The High Road forum dedicated to the advancement of responsible gun ownership. Recently, it was discovered that in 2006, the volunteer forum systems administrator, Derek Zeanah of Statesboro, Georgia, changed domain registration to himself. After he was confronted, Derek locked out all other staff from accessing the Web server administration and would not share even backup copies of its content. After failed attempts to peacefully resolve the dispute, it has become necessary for me to initiate a lawsuit against Derek Zeanah for the return of thehighroad.org domain name and the forum database.

Man farts on officer. Charged with battery.

National Firearms Day.

A knife that can be used in a gun fight.

Gun cameras?

So Bush says uncle on executive compensation.

Ya know, there’s a reason people take these jobs: the money.

Over at Yahoo news, there’s a bit entitled: Why Buyers Aren’t Buying. You know, to address why people aren’t buying houses when prices are so low.

I had to do a double take.

I mean, would you loan these people money?

I got a 94. But I misread a question. Still, a passing grade.

Obama shill says his support for gun rights is well-documented. No word on the location of these documents.

Internet Attention Span.

Heh.

Kevin:

The problem is that largely unregulated financial institutions used sometimes shady deals to sell people mortgage products that they probably could not afford.

That’s a joke, right? I agree with the latter but to say that financial institutions are largely unregulated is like saying Pamela Anderson is largely unaltered.

Kirk had one. He’s also looking at a flashlight mount for his handgun.

In a pinch, the Rogers/Surefire method works just fine.

A case for bringing back the pillory. Or tarring and feathering.

Seen at David’s:

Students at Dos Palos High School protested Thursday — by wearing patriotic regalia to school — after a sophomore student was forced to remove a T-shirt depicting the American flag…

Earlier in the day, he was speaking with a local news station when an unidentified teacher walked up to him, ripped off the microphone clipped to his shirt and told him he was not allowed to talk to the media.

Politifact fact checks NRA. And by fact check, they say nyuh uh, ’cause Obama said so . . . later. I mean, nevermind the fact he signed his name to it that one time.

Looks like The Duck got a couple!

In Illinois: After months of waiting in good faith for the repeal of a gun ban that never happened, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed a lawsuit against Winnetka, IL in U.S. District Court.
