Sebastian notes the difference between what Zumbo said and what Jan Libourel said. And tells us why it’s different. The trouble is that to someone with the mental faculties and whatever mental condition that Sugarmann has is that there isn’t a difference. He just wants to create a conflict.
A Congressional Research Service’s report on the M4 and switching to a piston system, like the FN SCAR.
A push for age limits on private sales of firearms.
Preemption coming: Murfreesboro, Clarksville outlaw guns in parks
Breda reports that a guy who was arrested for failing to tell the police he had a concealed weapon has been cleared. Seems he got out of the car, had a gun pointed at him, and in the 51 seconds it took them to arrest him; he kinda forgot to mention it. 51 seconds?
Looks like there’s a bill to establish that. The Violence Policy Center is not amused. But they are amusing.
You should not put a vertical forward grip on your Glock for a couple of reasons. One is that ATF considers it an Any Other Weapon subject to NFA rules. And two, the grip my come off causing you to shoot yourself in the hand (with video).
I like the new cat. But they are exactly unlike dogs. A couple of examples:
If you cover a dog (head and all) in a blanket, it will fight like mad to get out. Even if it has to hit its head on the coffee table a couple of times to do that. A cat will just lay down and go to sleep.
If you point at something, the dog will look where you’re pointing. If you point at something, the cat will sniff your finger.
Rwanda is in a back-slapping mood today after it was commended by a United Nations body for its efforts in combating small arms trafficking. One Rwandan official even said: “As a country we suffered in 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi partly because of small arms and light weapons, that is why Rwanda is now at the forefront of the fight, and I hope other countries can learn from what we are doing.”
This woman must be quite young, as her memory seems to fade around 1995. The 1994 Rwandan Genocide was committed almost entirely with machetes, not firearms.
A piece on Ronnie Barrett being elected to the NRA board of directors. I met him briefly at the NRA convention a couple years ago. Nice guy. And I like that he won’t sell his weapons to California law-enforcement since they pushed to have his weapons banned.
Seen at Marko’s:
Massachusetts has a mandatory seatbelt use law.
Massachusetts has a 67% seatbelt use rate.
New Hampshire has no mandatory seat belt law for adults.
New Hampshire has a 69% seatbelt use rate.
Good:
A federal judge in June threw out seizure of three fake passports from a traveler, saying that TSA screeners violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. Congress authorizes TSA to search travelers for weapons and explosives; beyond that, the agency is overstepping its bounds, U.S. District Court Judge Algenon L. Marbley said.
Clinton initiated keeping guns out of public housing as part of staying there, even making residents give up fourth amendment rights. Now, it looks like Congress is stepping in to allow guns.
America, Fuck Yeah:
The 2009 Small Arms Survey reported that the Untied States alone was responsible for about half of the worldwide increase in legal international gun sales between 2000 and 2006. The U.S. now accounts for over half of the world’s imports of pistols and revolvers and 45 percent of shotguns, it said.
Seems that Barack Obama’s new president smell has kinda worn off and people aren’t so happy any more. Heck, the guy lost Greenwald and Rall among others. Jon Stewart is making fun of him. And left leaning bloggers have categories about the hopey changey.
Guy writes letter blasting NRA because being a pro gun group they might oppose someone who is anti-gun. Guy turns out to be a Democrat shill. More here and here.
Later this month is my 20 year high school reunion. These are always fun and I have a blast. See some folks I haven’t seen in ages, catch up, swap numbers with people (knowing you’ll never call each other), and reminisce. I was talking about it with the Mrs. the other night and I said:
Ya know, I’m tempted to have my hair cut into a mullet, get some parachute pants, buy a pair of Vans, wear an AC lightning bolt DC T-shirt and load up my Mp3 player with some Bobby Brown, Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli and Warrant.
She said if I did that, she wasn’t going. She’s no fun.
And not for the fact that a 62 year old man can’t fight off four attackers with his bare hands.
