Projection

In addition to being violently angry, this person cannot read. Of course, if I looked like this, I’d probably be angry too.

Update: I wonder how this gal(?) will react when tomorrow the Brady Campaign releases a presser that dances in the blood of the dead? Think we’ll see the same righteous indignation (and fabulous hair color!) then?

Update: Blood dancing already under way.

And don’t bother commenting at the first link. I’ve been told Reasoned Discoursetm has already broken out. Personality and looks! Someone snatch this filly up!

Update: Being told it’s a dude. And here’s the comments he (srsly?) doesn’t want you to see.

Church shooting

In Knoxville. One dead. Five injured.

The Mrs. often asks why I carry to church. It’s because shootings keep happening at churches.

Kids and guns

Here, kids are learning gun safety.

Unpossible

Shot in gun free Britain?

Good thing

That they don’t allow guns on college campuses.

Road Rage

This story was relayed to me by my wife. It was relayed to her by my mother in law, who apparently could not stop laughing while telling the story.

The grandparents (Mommo and Daddo) and kids pull up to a red light. The light turns green. The car in front of them does not go. Daddo waits a bit then honks the horn to let the guy in front know he should pay attention. After Daddo honks the horn, The Second says Beep beep. Junior says When that happens in Daddy’s car, he says fuck and damn.

Careful what you say and when you say it.

From that video

Belt-fed, nerf machine gun

Soon to be banned in England.

Incorporation

I’ve said before that, post-Heller, I’m glad Fenty is an idiot. I am also thankful that Daley is an idiot too:

“Chicago’s gun ordinance was not invalidated by the . . . decision. Three prior Supreme Court decisions have found that the Second Amendment does not apply to states and municipalities,” Georges said. “The decision did not change that case law.”

Really? Name them.

Mayor Daley: If we didn’t do gun buybacks, you’d be dead

No, really. Good thing they have these gun buy backs or people in Chicago might be getting shot..

Monkeying with stuff

JT Bolt:

Why do gun manufacturers monkey around with the trigger style? Do they sit around a big boardroom table smoking cigars lit with $100 bills saying, “how can we ruin the trigger on the NEXT product we release, gentlemen?” No. They have some reason. That reason may be dubious, as Jeff Cooper would say, “an answer to a question nobody asked,” but there is still a method to the madness.

Nah. It’s ’cause their dudes and dudes like to monkey with stuff. Just because.

Regarding double actions (real double actions, not those made up safe actions and such), they do have a couple of advantages. Such as if your round doesn’t fire, you just pull the trigger again. And the heavier or longer trigger pulls tend to be harder to accidentally tug on.

I ate him with some navy beans and a glass of sweet tea

First habanero of the year. I diced this one up and put it in the wife’s white chicken chili:

Mmmmm.

Gun Porn

You’ll put your eye out.

Speaking of fan boys

Heh.

What media bias?

So, John Edwards’ alleged love-child can’t be talked about.

And media donations favor Democrats 100 to 1.

Watching the watchmen

Careful, they watch back.

Crushing dissent

So, in NH, it looks like there was a law passed and someone has been convicted of not threatening a public official. You see, threatening them was upgraded to a felony. And talking sternly to them is now a misdemeanor:

It was always illegal to threaten a public official, but what was in the past generally considered a misdemeanor in most cases was also upgraded under the new law to a Class B felony. The change makes jail time more likely for those convicted of threatening the current and former governors, legislators, judges and a variety of other public officials and their families — even if the public official has no reasonable fear for his or her safety.

That leaves open an awful lot of room for abuse.

Mostly white men?

In your face!

Open carry in Michigan. Wonder why they point out the mostly white men thing.

Grab popcorn and an ice cold Coca Cola

KDT: AR15’s suck.

Tam: Bite me, fan boy!

I’m reminded of this blast from the past:

1. The AR is a temperamental, finicky tool that will only cycle through a full magazine when blessed personally by the pope, plus it shoots a round that won’t even stop a well-fed hamster. The AK can be filled with concrete and it will still fire 10,000 rounds without a stoppage. Plus, it shoots a man’s round.

2. The AK is so inaccurate that you couldn’t hit a barn from the inside with a full magazine. It was made by communist slaves who used rocks to assemble the receivers, in the dark. The round has such a curved trajectory that you have to aim at a target’s hat to hit his feet at 150 yards. On the other hand, the AR is a precision weapon that can hit a match-head at 600 yards consistently, and should have night vision, IR, a red-dot scope, a tactical sling, and a tactical flashlight, making you a single-man ninja army.

Adjudicated mentally defective

Barbara Barrett:

Since a severely mentally ill man rampaged through Virginia Tech last year, killing 32 people before turning a gun on himself, Congress and several states have been working to tighten rules on who can legally purchase a firearm.

But a push in the U.S. Senate would remove from the national background check the names of 115,000 veterans who have been declared “mentally defective” — and would prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from adding any more names unless the agency goes through a judicial system.

The problem, says the senator behind the efforts, is that the veterans were added not because they were a danger to themselves or to others, but because they were assigned fiduciary guardians by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“This is a constitutional issue,” said Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, the top Republican on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “The (national database) is for criminals, not for folks who have troubles handling their own financial affairs.”

His bill would allow the agency to submit only the names of those who have been declared dangerous by a judge, magistrate or other judicial authority.

Abandonment of property

Odd case where a man leaves his guns with police for safekeeping. Now, the police won’t return them.

More SF stupidity

So, a guy who is an illegal alien; member of a violent street gang; violent felon; firearms violations; and frequent member of the catch and release program kills some one. And it’s the gun’s fault.

Kel-Tec.

Guns in parks

Poll here. Poll seems pretty close.

Will Seattle gun ban stand up to legal review?

By Michael Reitz.

Something ain’t sitting right

In Roane County a couple years back, a police officer and his ride-along were killed by two brothers in a gun fight. Most folks (including me) thought it was just a couple of dumb rednecks being stupid. Anyway, now that the trial is underway, something ain’t right.

You have witnesses testifying that the police officer’s ride-along (who was not a police officer) fired the first shot. Now even if that didn’t happen, I’ve been on ride-alongs before. They don’t let you carry a gun nor do they give you a badge.

You have other witnesses saying the police officer made threats against the two brothers hours before while caressing his service weapon.

Now, you got evidence indicating that one of the two brothers was shot in the back with a police service weapon.

Something ain’t adding up. I’m not making any accusations but I’ll be damned if I speed through Roane County anytime soon.

Office War!

For some reason, I can’t get the embed to work here, so I’ll send you over here.

Good capitalists

So, there’s a bit of a kerfuffle because the Tennessee GOP’s annual fundraiser will be closed to the press. It’s an event that requires a ticket. So, be a good capitalist and buy a ticket if you want to go. Assuming they’ll sell you one.

Digital Brownshirts

Or cybernauts?

Sword safety

Are there rules for it?

Grrl power

Might be a feminist? No, unlike feminists, you actually seek to empower women.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
