Hippie, please.

This came in handy for me this weekend: Disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling a Ruger 10/22 rotary magazine. With handy video. It’s by Arizona Rifleman.

Larry Correia has a book out. It seems that in addition to being an HK fan boy, he likes to write. It’s called Monster Hunter International and you can get it at that link.

Agent expected to testify they got a warrant illegally. Via David, who sums it up: Vince Cefalu, an ATF supervisor, and lead supervisor on the case, has testified that investigators perjured themselves to get a wiretap order, and that when he objected to this, he was taken off the case.

If it’s on the site, they have the ammo in stock at LuckyGunner. A novel concept these days since my latest order has been on hold for almost 8 weeks.

I was lied to. I was told all our problems would be solved by a rainbow-farting unicorn. It’s a rainbow-farting terrier.

Update: Seems to be some disagreement on the legality of the knife.

Bob: an ATF official testified in Congress that only eight percent of weapons recovered in Mexico came through licensed U.S. gun dealers.

I thought it was 90%? That’s what the press, the administration, and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) tell me?

The LAPD on the FN FiveseveN:

Authorities have noticed an increase in high-caliber weapons in Los Angeles. One of the most startling incidents was when a Fabrique National 57, an assault pistol used to kill big game, was found in a victim’s car by detectives investigating a double-homicide last year in North Hollywood.

“You use it on large lions, tigers and bears,” said LAPD Deputy Chief Michel Moore, commander of the Valley Bureau.

The FiveseveN, coincidentally, is banned in California.

Yeah, the 13 year old caught with a machine gun in England? It looks like an airsoft.

At the pond with Junior. Blog later. Maybe.

NRA to score votes on Sotomayor’s confirmation.

The kids dig watermelon. Trouble is, we can never eat a whole one before it goes bad. So, I started making watermelon popsicles. Fill your blender with watermelon and hit the juice setting. Then strain to get rid of pieces of seed. Place in a popsicle tray overnight and the kids love them.

Also, the latest creation is, and I am not making this up, cucumber popsicles. Our cucumber plants are out of control and, frankly, we can’t go through them all, even giving them to our neighbors. This is a bit more work but is delicious. Put a quarter cup of lime juice and a half cup of sugar in a pan and heat it up. While the sugar is dissolving, seed and peel 3 whole cucumbers. Put them in the blender and add your sugar and lime juice mix and hit the juice setting. Freeze in popsicle trays over night. No need to strain these.

I laughed: It took President Obama six months to pick a dog for the White House, but he wants Congress to pass a massive health care reform bill in two weeks!

I mentioned before the .gov’s plan could kill people by banning electronic cigarettes. Now, the FDA has stopped some shipments of them at the border. Jacob Sullum notes the weak testing standards of creation science:

It seems clear that the FDA already has decided to ban e-cigarettes and is now seeking evidence to back up that decision. This approach, which replaces science and consumer protection with puritanism and bureaucratic pigheadedness, sacrifices the interests—and possibly the lives—of smokers who could dramatically reduce their disease risks by switching to e-cigarettes.

And the effects of gun control.

Tennessee passed a law banning texting while driving. I called it stupid because endangerment already covers that and I said it would be unenforceable. Seems that most phones do other things. My phone is a word processor, data processor, camera, video camera, Mp3 player, web browser, GPS, data storage, email reader, RSS aggregator, other stuff I can’t remember and I think it’s even a phone too. So, if I am using a lawful application (like making a phone call since dialing is lawful, using my GPS, or hitting next on the MP3 player), how can officer friendly determine if I’m doing something lawful or texting? Well, he can’t.

I mentioned before their highly scientific method of scanning news reports to count incidents involving folks with handgun carry permits. Tom Humphrey notes what I mentioned then, that the study excludes three incidents in Tennessee. And it does. Of course, the study also includes some folks who did not actually have a carry permit and includes folks who were charged but were never convicted. Linoge notes:

they used the word “killed” and not the word “murdered”, and they specified “criminal charges”, but not “criminal convictions”. Both of those are remarkably significant rephrasings of the debate

And, of course, that’s out of over 3.5M permit holders nationwide.
