So, Brian Williams and NBC first lied about being shot down in Iraq after the event allegedly happened. Then he lied about it on Letterman. And he recently lied about it again. And was finally called out. Lying about being shot at in a war zone is apparently what the media and democrats (but I repeat myself) like to do. Hillary did it. To me, this brings a few things to mind:

Williams was there with a news crew. And no one on the news crew said “hey, this story is bullshit”. It went all the way through their layers of editorial oversight, fact-checking, and professional standards. Even though it was bullshit.

And, of all the lies NBC and Brian Williams have told while doing the “news”, this is the one that actually is a scandal?

A series of reports, by Joe.

I like my Bug A Salt. Now, they’re looking to make it better.

I like it:

Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1351(b), is amended by adding the following language to the end of the subsection:

The holder of a valid handgun carry permit issued pursuant to this section shall have the same rights, privileges, and prohibitions regarding the carrying of firearms, as permitted by state law, of any law enforcement officer, as defined in § 39-17-1350(d), who is not engaged in the actual discharge of official duties.

Zing

We must ban chainsaws. For the children.

Remote controlled Millennium Falcon. Well, I’d rather have a real one but still.

Well, we know which one they’re more passionate about:

After a protracted deliberation that spanned two meetings of the Board of Trustees, the Board’s Executive Committee has decided not to adopt a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing (ACSRI) that the University divest from civilian firearms manufacturers.

Any thing with Socially Responsible X in it is probably bullshit anyway.

Right here

They wouldn’t have any standards

Where they just repealed their gun laws due to threat of a lawsuit.

And what’s behind it:

A Las Vegas Fire Department captain will not face criminal charges for shooting a man through his front door in June, Clark County prosecutors have decided.

“The collective decision by a number of experienced prosecutors was reached after reviewing all of the witness statements, the statements given to law enforcement by the homeowner, the forensic evidence in the case, and meeting with the detectives who investigated the case,” Assistant District Attorney Robert Daskas said.

Shooting through a door is stupid.

A bill to make airguns airguns, instead of firearms.

Remember when the .gov was mad because all it took to start a radio station was starting a radio station? Of course not, you probably weren’t around then. Well, they couldn’t have just anyone taking to the airwaves and saying what they wanted. So, they federally regulated radio. The FCC is wanting to do the same to the internet.

Some friends from the local gun board have taken to doing silly things with Hi-Points. Like this:

And this:

Funny. You’re welcome.

Open Carry Tarrant County continues to beclown itself:

“We should demanding these people give us our rights back or it’s punishable by death. Treason. Do you understand how serious this is Texas?” Watkins asks. “This is treason against the American people. You don’t sell my right back to me. You’re going to find trouble.”

Get off my team, idiot.

Have you ever herped so hard you derped:

I think, in fact, the shooting demonstrated that we have a safe campus

So, once again, ISIS killed someone in a horrible way, by setting him on fire. That video and the previous beheadings and such show that ISIS does video montages, three camera shoots, introspectives, and a variety of other sophisticated video editing techniques. They even have hashtags to let twitter supporters tell them how to kill people. In other words, they have a marketing department.

And a reasonably professional one.

Well, about as professional as Shannon Watts’ hashtag activism, I guess.

This time, suing DC for their unconstitutional “good reason” requirement for exercising a constitutional right:

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the District of Columbia’s highly restrictive concealed carry permit requirement that applicants provide a “good reason” before such a permit is issued, which violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. SAF is joined by three private citizens, Brian Wrenn and Joshua Akery, both of Washington, D.C., and Tyler Whidby, a Florida resident who also maintains a residence in Virginia. The city and Police Chief Cathy Lanier are named as defendants.

The lawsuit asserts that “individuals cannot be required to prove a ‘good reason’ or ‘other proper reason’ for the exercise of fundamental constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms.” All three individual plaintiffs in the case have applied for District carry permits and have been turned down by Lanier because they could not “Demonstrate a good reason to fear injury to person or property.”

“The city’s requirements to obtain a carry permit are so restrictive in nature as to be prohibitive to virtually all applicants,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “It’s rather like a ‘Catch 22,’ in which you can apply all day long, but no reason is sufficiently good enough for Chief Lanier to issue a permit.

Tries to get a chicken chain to ban guns. They tell her to pound sand.

So, they need special standards.

Every few years, they send out an RFP for a new handgun. And, it seems, every year they take it back. Well, they’ve done it again:

The U.S. Army has announced it will delay the release of a much-anticipated request for proposals (RfP) for a new sidearm to replace the Beretta M9. The request “has been delayed until further notice in order to allow for improvements to the RfP as a result of feedback received from industry,” the Army said in a Jan. 21 message to Congress.

He says vaccines should be voluntary because, you know, freedom is hard. In the US, generally, they are voluntary unless your kid goes to public school. Here’s the video. Kind of disappointing that he parroted claims by held by medical experts Jenny McCarthy and Barack Obama. But I did like how he handled the “journalist”.

Update: Tam: handing your opponents the sound bites required to paint you as flat-earther looney tunes. Golf clap.

Tennessee Senate Bill 207:

As introduced, allows a gun dealer to complete a firearms transaction with a handgun carry permit holder without requiring a criminal history record check, if the permit was issued or renewed within five years of the date of transaction

Good. However, the state losing $10 per transaction will likely have an impact on the bills passage.

Apache Knuckleduster Revolver from ForgottenWeapons:

MLIVE:

A Lapeer County Sheriff’s Office news release states one person knocked on all the doors and forced their way inside the home when there was no response. The girl locked herself inside a bathroom closet with a shotgun.

The suspect eventually opened the bathroom door and closet where the child was hiding with the weapon. The girl aimed the shotgun at the suspect, who then fled from the home.

Police said the girl was not harmed during the encounter.

Good. And she was smart not to take Joe Biden’s advice of blasting a couple of rounds out the front door.

Another one suppressor for multiple calibers offering.

This is a thing now. I mentioned Liberty’s Mystic a bit back.
