The feds are looking at going after the guns of 4,000 people who passed background checks but should not have. This will be interesting to watch unfold.

Blame the victims: Gun theft from legal owners is on the rise, quietly fueling violent crime across America

Are Revolvers Pass?

I have a revolver. A Ruger Match Champion. It is hands-down my favorite gun to shoot at the range. I’d never seriously consider carrying it every day. It’s heavy and only holds six shots. The M&P is fairly light and holds 18 BBs.

I’ve considered a pocket revolver but I’m thinking a single stack 9mm would be better.

The future is scary.

There will be a floor vote on National Reciprocity. But:

However, as predicted by Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) the Fixed NICS bill has been merged with concealed carry reciprocity. It is now Title II of HR 38. Massie goes on to say that when the bill hits the Senate, carry reciprocity will be dropped and only the Fix NICS portion approved. Then given different bills have passed the House and Senate it will go to a conference committee who will only report out the Fix NICS portion of the bill. Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) has offered an amendment to the bill being considered in the Rules Committee that would drop the carry portion of the bill.

An AR under 5 pounds.

Hawaii has a gun registry. They also have a registry of medical marijuana users. So, you know where this is going? Yup, people who show up on both lists got a letter from the police saying turn in the guns.

Dogs really are smarter than cats. Having two of each, it’s my experience that both are smartish but in different ways. Dogs, being social, are more in tune with social cues from other dogs and humans. Cats don’t give a shit. If you point, a dog will look where you are pointing. A cat won’t give a shit. At most, it will sniff your finger.

If you leave the house for two days and leave your cat enough food for three days, when you get back, there will be food left. If you do the same for the dog, when you get back he’ll have not eaten for two days.

National reciprocity cleared the judicial committee. I’m not going to get my hopes up about it just yet but progress is progress.

The CMP general manager says they’ll cost around $1,000.

Heh: Stoner-Gewehr

Gun Buy-Back Scalability.

Inherited it from my wife’s grandmother.

Chris talks about some electronic ear plugs. They look like they would, indeed, be more comfortable and convenient. But $300 for ears seems a bit high.

Ruger SP101 Revolver in 9mm

At a gun buyback, her majesty’s subjects turned in kitchen knives and a fork.

A push to shut down websites that sell CNC equipment and 80% receivers.

When, Oh When, Will The SCOTUS Actually Defend The Second Amendment Again?

A heated rifle stock. Hunting can be cold.

Sharps .45-100. Back in the day, a friend had a .45-110 that was a blast to shoot.

They are not going to SCOTUS:

Perhaps the most noteworthy denials came in two cases involving gun rights: Kolbe v. Hogan, a challenge to Marylands ban on semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines, passed in the wake of the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school; and Norman v. Florida, a challenge to the states ban on the open carrying of guns in public.

Having the supreme court on our side doesn’t really seem to be helping.

Heh

Stops bad guy with a gun:

“The manager, who was a concealed weapons permit holder, came out and engaged in gunfire in the parking lot,” La Sata said. “The manager fled back inside the building, being chased by the gunman. Another Schlenker employee, who also had concealed weapons permit, engaged in gunfire with the suspect.”

Shot Timers Dont Lie

Trouble is, every time I get to the range, I wind up taking new shooters. I spend my time with them and don’t practice with a timer.

Black Friday posted a record breaking 200,000 NICS checks.

Where Great Britain Used To Be is seeing a 27% increase in gun crime. Good thing guns are, effectively, banned there.

A thing that I’d never really thought about is when someone tests a gun (usually on the internet), the 2,000 round test seems to be some sort of standard. Is there a particular reason for this number? If so, I’m unaware of it.

Also, some tests seem to be just tests and others are “torture tests”. I don’t know why it’s torture to shoot a gun that’s made to be shot.

To you and yours. I’ll be out of pocket with the family.
