I made a bowl of ice cream the other night. Putting away the ice cream, I turned around to see this:

Then, a minute later, I saw this:

I was, last night. Discussing this

Bryan Brasher:

Our reasons for owning guns were once noble.

Some people wanted them for personal protection.

Some wanted them for hunting and sport.

Others wanted them just to collect, display and admire.

But nowadays, we have a skyrocketing number of people who want guns simply because they believe someone else doesn’t want them to have them.

I have cases of incandescent light bulbs for the exact same reason. Next thing you know, they’ll be protesting or something.

Nice!

Speed limit enforced by angry neighbors with paintball guns. Interesting.

I was driving through a neighborhood once and some one had written on the street in kids’ sidewalk chalk to slow down because kids were playing. Some smart ass wrote underneath it in a different color chalk keep your kids out of the street.

Radley Balko: Second Amendment-Loathing Mayor Attacked With Lead Pipe.

Hats off to the mayor for intervening. However, he would have been more effective with a weapon. This is the same town where the chief of police, with the support of the mayor, said:

My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it.

Black man with a gun not breaking the law. Press panics. Says the man:

In Arizona, I still have some freedoms

Last night, I read Glenn’s and Brannon’s Heller High Water(Mark?) Lower Courts and the New Right to Keep and Bear Arms which noted the gun control movement’s failure to denormalize gun ownership and Heller was a testament to that. I would say an incident like this may, in the views of some, go too far. Sure, it’s their right but I think it may be a poor marketing decision.

Update: Meanwhile, the black gun-toting libertarian speaks.

Whenever someone proposes one gun a month, we gunnies say Then why not one per year or lifetime? Or we could just skip that and say none.

I dig the rules. A taste:

Retention holsters- don’t.

And:

Rails on a gun are like a clean shirt: they attract the oddest things.

Heh.

Nazis, lunatics, racists, and lynch mobs. Oh my.

Reports Overlawyered:

That’s by no means irrelevant to the agenda of an agency like OSHA, because once you start viewing private gun ownership as a public health menace, it begins to seem logical to use the powers of government to urge or even require employers to forbid workers from possessing guns on company premises, up to and including parking lots, ostensibly for the protection of co-workers.

Scott Bach: Why are we targeting guns instead of criminals?

Once again, the dreaded Oozie makes an appearance. Another sighting here. One more and it’s a spate.

Heh: I’m not anti-H&K, I’m not anti-Glock, I’m anti-fanboy.

A reader emails:

Virginia has allowed concealed carry (indeed, open carry) in public parks for the better part of a decade now. And yet for some reason, I can’t recall the last time I saw someone go on a shooting rampage near the teeter-totter.

At an Obama event. Obviously, another one of those racist white separatists. HT: Sebastian.

Meanwhile, from comments, an observation from NK:

The more black people, the tougher the gun laws. Perfect correlation, state by state and city by city.
