The Echo Dot for $40. I snagged a couple so I can have Alexa in multiple rooms. And it’s size appeals to me. Don’t need the good speakers in the bedroom, after all.

Well, one is opening a firing range.

So, Miss Sloane, a piece of anti-gun propaganda disguised as a movie, had a horrible open.

The director of the movie said he didn’t consult The Brady Campaign to Remain Relevant. But the Brady Camp says otherwise. And the actors even met with them.

Again. Still.

Well, OK. Or rather AOKW:

The basics of stockpiling food. I keep a decent supply of food around. It’s important that you stock stuff you actually eat. For instance, we use a lot of chicken stock. I keep between 2 to 3 cases on hand, and replace with a new case after one has depleted. Same for other things we use regularly, like stewed tomatoes, beans, rice, peas, corn, etc. Amazon’s subscribe and save is our friend.

And gun cleaning tips.

Seen on twitter:

And gun nuts are the violent ones. Also, do you want to get shot? Because that’s how you get shot.

They’re leaving Cali and headed to America. Arizona, specifically. Also, they are now selling threaded barrels:

I’m fan of Apex products and have their triggers and other parts on all of my M&Ps, except one. I like to keep a stock gun around for some reason.

.50 caliber Glock.

Burnside Carbine

Heh: Glock v. Sodastream. I have both and the Glock is definitely handier. The Sodastream is still pretty handy though.

And presented without comment:

Seems a few folks’ comments are getting gobbled up by my spam filter. I try to monitor it but, frankly, I get so many spam comments per day, it’s difficult to keep up with. So, if it happens to you, it’s not personal. But let me know. One hint is stop using the word socialism. Because it contains the name of common ED drug that spammers like to spam about.

Anti-gun hack responds to criticism of his fake news with more fake news.

Heroin overdoses surpass gun deaths.

Watch as this guy almost puts a .45 caliber hole in his hand:

A guy in Knoxville was in some sort of traffic dispute. He shot and killed the other person involved and then shot and killed himself. The shooter had a carry permit.

I can imagine getting upset at other drivers. Getting upset enough to shoot one, not so much.

Congress has launched a Congressional Second Amendment Caucus. They are looking to pass pro-gun bills and undo several decades worth of erosion to second amendment protections.

Obama:

If you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws

You never proposed any. You proposed gun control that has been proven ineffectual everywhere it has been tried.

Gun-rights backers vow to ‘go on offense’ during Trump years

Firearms enthusiasts who embraced Donald Trump’s campaign and his full-throated support of the Second Amendment are expecting a sweeping expansion of gun rights under his administration and a Congress firmly in Republican hands.

Among their priorities: eliminating gun-free zones at schools, reducing requirements for background checks and ensuring that concealed carry handgun permits from one state are recognized everywhere in the U.S.

It’s from LaPierre’s statement I mentioned before. I don’t see the hearing protection act mentioned.

ABC30:

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said a buckle attached to a thigh holster likely contributed to a deputy accidentally firing his gun.

In early November, a Fresno County Sheriff’s Deputy was in the area of Church and Gearhart Avenues when his gun fired while still in the holster — injuring the deputy’s leg. The deputy was treated and release from the hospital the same day.

Investigators with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said the equipment was inspected and tested. They believe a part of the buckle got caught between the trigger and the holster, causing the gun to fire.

What sort of buckle would be near a holster?

Made by Shell Shock Industries, a two-piece casing that lightens the cartridge, can be picked up with a magnet, and is reloadable:

Neat.

A laser firing pin. I don’t much see the point.

So, Sandy Hook Promise made some silly video that implies reading gun magazines may be a sign you’re about to go on a mass shooting. Well, it looks like they stole it from a filmmaker who isn’t too happy about it. He even did a side by side comparison:

People figured after Trump won the election that there would be a drop in gun sales. Turns out, not so much. Record sales on Black Friday was one indication. And now, this: We thought Trump’s win would slow gun demand. It hasn’t

Gays, women and minorities seem to be a factor in this trend.

A court rules that photo ID can’t be required for a handgun carry permit.

Skip to 1:40 or it’s a lot of sitting. But that is damn cute:
