I’m not into religious wars and such. But in the event someone decided to threaten me with death because their invisible man in the sky can beat up my invisible man in the sky, this is pretty much how I feel about it:

Jihad works both ways.

Couple lost in corn maze calls 911. You know you can walk right through corn, right?

I’m kind of interested in one of these Chromebooks, an internet only type of netbook. Anyone play with one?

I like my S&W TacPen but here’s the $5 tactical pen.

A picture

Since they ding you for using 9mm. Caleb touches on something I’ve mentioned before, the argument over the stopping power of whatever popular pistol caliber is largely academic. Any more, I’ve been buying 9mm handguns because they’re more fun to shoot. And I say that as someone who mostly carries a 45acp.

Marketing.

The EU to ban children from blowing up balloons under safety rules.

You know, if you can successfully sue every time Hollywood puts out a crappy movie, then the show business industry would go under.

Which Mitt? A fun game.

I hate those family stickers since we in the Uncle clan walk single file to hide our numbers. But these are funny.

This is why I didn’t go the living trust route.

I don’t understand their crazy moon language but, hey, guns.

They’re not going to put MagPul out of business.

PC World has a look. With some OMG they can make gun parts even though those gun parts were made by hobbyists.

Over at Jay’s.

Happened this weekend. At a local purveyor of home improvement products and I reached up on a shelf. My shirt came up a bit and exposed my Glock 30. I was made. By two boys about age 10. One kid looks at the other and says Hey, that guy’s carrying a gun. The other kid says That is so cool.

No police. No store security. No upset parents.

A rifle designed at on a computer and finished using CNC:

Very cool. Gun control is no match for technology.

Ann Althouse on carry at the WI capitol:

Having seen the effect of the rotunda on the human mind, I worry about ordinary citizens in the Capitol with guns.

Just like all the other times guns went from being restricted to allowed in things like bars, restaurants, capitols, parks etc., nothing happens.

Via Breda.

Why do we love the 1911?

They are my favorite handgun to shoot but least favorite to carry. YMMV.

Substitute “gun” with “car”. Heh.

I don’t know that I’ve blogged it but my facebook friends know that I have taken to making my own beer and making wine for the wife. I don’t drink wine myself. Anyway, tomorrow, I’ll begin making my first pumpkin beer. It will contain roasted pumpkin, brown sugar, and some molasses. Should be good, in theory.

Three a day is the government recommended daily dose.

In Texas, stealing aluminum cans and a penny is a felony?

And careful picking up spent brass.

Emily Miller’s second report:

The D.C. Gun Registry office is not where you go for help getting a legal gun; it’s where you go to get more confused by bureaucracy.

Indeed. My sooper seekrit correspondent sent me pics of the registry office and it looks so inviting. Typical government entrance:

Obviously, there’s no bias implied by calling it the Gun Control Unit:

Why not a gun rights section:

A round up of stuff you can win on the internet.

3-D bleeding zombie targets.

Reuters:

Secret panel can put Americans on “kill list’

American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials.

I can’t say that I have a problem with killing terrorists. But I can say I have a problem with bureaucrats who spend $900 on a hammer making such decisions.

Clark:

. . . the end of gun control is not politically or culturally driven, but was a historical inevitability. . .

Yay, technology.

At an Ohio barber shop:

Barber Kurt Voelkel in the Cleveland suburb of Parma says the man was adjusting his clothing and sitting down on Sept. 29 when a 9 mm handgun fell from his holster, struck the ground and went off.

Guns don’t generally discharge when dropped.

Of the word ‘gun’ at MTV. Been doing that for years.

Memo to those in the Occupy Boston crowd flying the Gadsden flag. “Don’t tread on me” is not the same as “Give me more of that guy’s stuff.”

Yup. I’m with them to an extent on some of the trouble with respect to our country, as a policy, privatizes gains but we all share in the loss.

But, seriously, go occupy a frier and a spatula.

Only that is a lie:

When Associated Press reporter Pete Yost uncritically repeated claims by anonymous Department of Justice officials that the Bush-era Operation Wide Receiver was “the same tactic” used by the Obama Justice Department in Operation Fast and Furious and other operations, I called him out, knowing the claim was incorrect.

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

At the Justice Department, over Gunwalker.

Rich reconsiders his drug legalization stance. Like most social issues, it’s a complex one. And the one thing I can sure of is I don’t want the government involved in it.

Heh: Extradite the ATF.

An article by Oleg Volk.

I think I want this shirt.

Nice to see two things in this article. That major websites are picking up on police abuse. And that layout is the coolest Steve Jobs tribute I have seen.

The XO-26. A short AR with no stock and a vertical forward grip and the ATF have said it is neither a Short Barreled Rifle nor an Any Other Weapon. I expect that ATF would change its mind. Apparently, at 27 inches and being designed to be shot with two hands makes it an odd bird with ATF’s arbitrary regulations.

A read on the various complexities here. Act at your peril.

Said before I thought it sounded full-auto. I was right. It was illegally converted.

In Brady’s highest rated state.

Mentioned that SOCOM bought some suppressors a bit back. I did not know that they were called Muzzle Brake Suppressors.

Millionaire is not a salary.

No secret I don’t care for Apple’s business model. However, Steve Jobs was an innovative guy. He changed how Americans viewed and used the phone, personal computers, and how the world enjoys music.

Godspeed, Sir.

Ok, then.

Megatron, is that you?

Does this make my butt look big?

Caught on tape. The dog was wagging its tail and, generally, being passive. While restrained.

Wish I hadn’t watched that.

The police are minutes away.

So, it has voice commands like my Android based phones have had for years? Cutting edge there!

Also, this past weekend, my DroidX did a software upgrade. The thing I noticed most about the upgrade is that they tried to make the software look more iPhony with flashy rotating screens, rounded edges, and how the windows move. Much more iPhone in appearance.

We’ve known for a bit about Operation Wide Receiver, which was a Bush era operation that sent RFID tagged guns to Mexico. Apparently, the latest spin is that, because ATF did it under Bush, that makes it A-OK with everyone:

The federal government under the Bush administration ran an operation that allowed hundreds of guns to be transferred to suspected arms traffickers — the same tactic that congressional Republicans have criticized President Barack Obama’s administration for using, two federal law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

But Issa doesn’t relent:

whether it’s Operation Fast and Furious, Operation Wide Receiver, or both, it’s clear that guns were walked, and people high in the Justice Department knew about it. There’s no excuse for walking guns, and if there are more operations like this, Congress and the American people need to know.

What happened the the mythical undetectable plastic gun?

I saw it in Die Hard 2.

At a parade in FL, guns are OK but other weapons are not.

I notice quite a few knives and guns.

A series about a woman getting a gun in DC:

I want a gun. I don’t feel safe living in Washington, D.C. and want to protect myself. I’m starting today by going down to City Hall to find the gun permit office to tell them, “I want a gun.” This series will follow me as I navigate the city bureaucracy and outdated rules in order to legally buy a firearm.

A good review on the carbine.

Pics and a report

Bloomberg on why you shouldn’t be allowed to make your own decisions:

There are powers only governments can exercise, policies only governments can mandate and enforce and results only governments can achieve. To halt the worldwide epidemic of non-communicable diseases, governments at all levels must make healthy solutions the default social option. That is ultimately government’s highest duty

You can just fuck right off.

Now, we’re insurrectionists. I preferred CCW killer.

No, not really:

The judge also ruled against a suit brought by the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity that claimed the use of lead ammunition by hunters in the two areas is poisoning species like the California condor.

Heh
