Kim has part 2 of the series: Rimfires.

The KNS:

A prominent Knoxville defense lawyer who fought to shed light on back-door governmental deal-making has since January been fending off a secret move to bar him from practicing law in federal courts, the News Sentinel learned Thursday.

U.S. District Chief Judge Curtis L. Collier in January filed under seal proceedings to strip attorney Herbert S. Moncier of his right to practice law in federal courts in the Eastern District of Tennessee, a move that if successful likely would take from him the ability to handle federal cases nationwide.

And people wonder why when the locals think of their politicians they think of shady back room deals.

First, they came for the home-schoolers.

Update: Wow.

Ya know, just when I start to think these feminists are blowing things out of proportion and acting all crazy (I mean, really crazy), Aunt B. has to go and remind me that, yes, there really are just some stupid men out there.

There’s a push to mandate returns for recycling bottles. And there’s opposition to the idea.

As someone once said, they took an AK47 and made it look like an AR-15.

Some old translations:

lobby = pro gun

activists = anti-gun

anti-gun grassroots = astroturf

pro-gun grassroots = gun lobby

Now, Rustmeister has a new one.

One of the rules for self-defense is that you don’t shoot someone in the back. There are, of course, exceptions.

Anyone figured out who this guy/gal is yet? S/he is funny.

The NYT:

A gunman infiltrated a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and opened fire in a library Thursday night, killing at least seven people, officials said.

Rescue workers said at least 10 people were wounded. Government spokesman Daniel Seaman and police said there was only one gunman though initial reports said there were two.

And:

Yitzhak Dadon, a seminary student, said he was armed with a rifle and waited on the roof of a nearby building during the attack.

“He came out of the library spraying automatic fire. … The terrorist came to the entrance and I shot him twice in the head,” he said.

Not the first time either.

But, remember, if you think allowing the law-abiding to carry weapons at schools is a good idea, you’re crazy.

And other well wishes to JimmyB who may have cancer.

Update: Some good news!

Combat mindset is one way to put it. I’ve always liked the Boy Scout version (be prepared) better. It doesn’t scare the feminized majority.

Anyone know why Reuters News Agency is reprinting my blog posts?

Fun with Law Profs. It’s a good read. My favorite line:

pause for all lawyers who graduated in the last twenty years to recover from their faint at the prospect of Larry Tribe urging judicial restraint

Kim discusses air rifles. I have a Gamo 220 Hunter that will work fine. Tomorrow, I’m heading to Coal Creek to get some pink furniture for Junior’s first AR. Assuming someone remembers to dig up a complete set from the back (hint, hint).

Patchouli scented? Drive a Prius? One of the 12 people who still think it’s cool to hang in downtown Knoxville? Then the Metropulse wants you:

Metro Pulse will be revamping its website soon and introducing such 21st century innovations as online videos, photo galleries, and bloggers.

And only 8 years in!

Deb:

Last month, there were numerous blog postings about “How I will never vote for John McCain.” Most of these focused on how the “Republican Party has abandoned me,” or some other perceived grievance. Let me find my tiny violin.

I supported the Republican Party through the 90s as the party of small government, balanced budgets, and gun rights. But the party didn’t so much abandon me as it hated me from the beginning.

There’s more. Sounds familiar.

Drugs continue winning war on drugs

In Chicago, some idiot named Robert Fioretti wants to ban little plastic bags because that’s where drug users put drugs. In other news, that’s what the Uncle family puts carrots, school lunch items, small gun parts, and all those extra rubberbands in.

Is this a joke:

Britain’s first ‘Safe Text’ street has been created complete with padded lampposts to protect millions of mobile phone users from getting hurt in street accidents while walking and texting.

There a picture.

Update: The dumbassery illustrated.

Shorter Brady Campaign: Send us money so we can advocate laws that would not have stopped this tragedy.

Also, this comment is beautiful.

They could have just asked Maryland whose database has been expensive and, to date, has solved zero crimes. But the National Research Council affirms what SayUncle has said all along: Ballistic fingerprinting is a pipe dream.

A Philly gun advocate comments on a gun blog.

Someone ask him where Alex Riley is.

Seriously?

Back when I was in prison*, one trend shared by all the inmates was that nothing was their fault. Ever. There were always these explanations that seemed perfectly reasonable (to the inmates) about precisely why they committed some sort of heinous crime. And it always involved blaming someone else. Kinda like how New Jersey blames Pennsylvania for its gun crime.

* I worked there. I was not an inmate. But I always like to start stories that way for shock value.

Squeaky gets a tattoo to show off her gun nuttery.

The NRA has a pretty slick webpage up that contains info and all the briefs in the Heller case.
