You know what was kind of cool?
Sharp as a Marble on August 1st, 2008
Standing on my driveway with my father, looking at each other's carry pieces while he had a smoke. That, and being secure in the knowledge that if any of my neighbors saw us, they'd have come over to check them out as well. (Yes, we followed the 4 rules).... -
An unnatural act
Sharp as a Marble on August 1st, 2008
I'm going to disagree with one of my favorite gun bloggers, Say Uncle. Regarding the recent stabbing, disembowelment, and decapitation that recently happened on a Greyhound bus So, let that seep in a minute. 50 or 60 times and then decapitated him. 37 passengers and a bus driver nearby. How long do you suppose it takes to stab someone 50 or 60 tim... -

Learn About Guns on August 1st, 2008
As the Chicago Tribune reports, a committee of the Chicago City Council is considering a proposal to create an online database of gun offenders, complete with photographs and interactive maps. If approved, anyone convicted of a felony gun offense after the ordinance’s effective date would have to register with the city as a gun offender. [.... -
Debate on Gun Free Zones on College Campuses: Rebroad...
John Lott on August 1st, 2008
I think that the debate went well with Paul Helmke, the president of the Brady Campaign, on whether permitted concealed handguns should be allowed on colleges and universities. It was nice of him to participate. The link for CSPAN1 on the internet is available here.... -
IE7 Bug “Internet Explorer Can’t Open Web site”
Front Site Press on August 1st, 2008
I read about this first at The Volokh Conspiracy, checked that blog with IE7 and sure enough, IE7 gave the message, “Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted.” The long and the short of it is that this is a “security fix” that was recently added to one of the Internet Explorer updates. It has to do with the way IE7 ... -
Next president will have major impact on direction of...
2A News on August 1st, 2008
A president stays in office four or eight years, but his appointments to the Supreme Court can extend his impact for decades. It's likely that Republican John McCain or Democrat Barack Obama will be able to appoint one - and possibly three - justices to the court during his time in the White House.3 Vote(s) ... -
Rush and the NRA
2A News on August 1st, 2008
The First and Second Amendments of the Constitution are twin pillars of America's unique form of self-government. Having spent two decades defending one of those pillars, I am grateful to Rush Limbaugh for defending the other on a scale few can equal.5 Vote(s) ... -
New Yorkers’ Gun Rights May Rest on Hot Dog Ven...
2A News on August 1st, 2008
If New York's strict antigun laws are overturned in the near future, it may be the work of a hot dog vendor. Daniel Vargas, is due next month in court to fight misdemeanor charges that he kept an unlicensed revolver loaded on a basement shelf in his apartment. The case, which has generated 23 hearings and been heard by no fewer than 10 different j... -
The Obama Uncertainty Principle
2A News on August 1st, 2008
Quantum physicist Werner Heisenberg famously posited that it is impossible to precisely measure the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. His "uncertainty principle," in popular usage, has come to mean that any attempt to observe something changes what is being observed. This is becoming an accurate description of Barack Ob... -

Gun Pundit on August 1st, 2008
No longer sanctuaries Linoge gets some comments from someone who was at the Knoxville UU church during the attack. Why don't more churches call for gun control? Who knows? Doesn't everyone everywhere favor gun control? I know criminals do. D.C. City Council's False "Findings" of Facts on Firearms What? Misrepresenting facts in an anti-gun argumen... -
Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Issues
SayUncle on August 1st, 2008
Per the TN Department of Safety, they now require proof of citizenship. There’s also this bit: A permit holder can submit a Renewal Application at any Driver License Center or renew by mail. To receive a renewal application by mail call 1-866-849-3548. The renewal application must be complete and signed by the applicant. The application, CE... -
At the dentist
SayUncle on August 1st, 2008
And we know how I feel about the dentist. Conversation with hygienist in regard to the voice recognition gizmo that records numbers that somehow correlate to gum health. Hygienist: I became a hygienist because I can’t count. Me: I became an accountant because I can’t count. Or do math. Hygienist: You’re an accountant? You don̵... -
The Great Blogger FUBAR
Front Site Press on August 1st, 2008
A number of gun bloggers have suddenly found their blogs locked to new posts and then they receive a form letter from Blogger saying that they are suspected of being a “spam site.” (This is kind of funny to me since there are thousands of real spam blogs on Blogger that they never seem to do anything about.) Anyway, this has resulted in... -
Quote of the Day
Snowflakes in Hell on August 1st, 2008
From Glenn Reynolds on the 2008 Bejing Olympics: I won’t be going, and I don’t plan to watch. The Olympics are a fount of corruption and chicanery anyway, upholding no ideals and promoting no good ends anyway. Plus, they’re boring. I won’t be watching either. Even the shooting events. What the Chinese government is doing... -

Movement on Chicago gun case
Arms & The Law on August 1st, 2008
Plaintiffs have filed a motion for summary judgment (pdf). As they're subject to a page limit of 15 pages, it can't be a treatise. But the critical points are made, and the style excellent. A person without a legal background can read and reasonably well understand it, which for a technical issue like 14th amendment incorporation, is hard to do. ... -

Kitty Genovese
SayUncle on August 1st, 2008
In what has to be one of the more gruesome crimes I’ve ever heard of, a man on a bus full of people stabbed another man 50 or 60 times and then decapitated him. Then walks up the bus displaying the head. Wow. And: Sgt Colwell said the “brave” behaviour of the passengers and driver probably prevented anyone else from being hurt. S... -

JR says Google locked him out of his account for being a spam blog. Update: Insty reports Dr. Helen has suffered the same fate. Update & Bump: War on Guns too. One more: Leftwingcracker too. For a second, I thought they were picking on gun blogs. Sorry, no conspiracy. Just general ineptitude. ... -

Congress and DC’s gun laws
SayUncle on August 1st, 2008
NRA has a presser. Thirdpower notes what the bill does. One bit is to repeal the District’s ban on semi-automatic handguns. Which is good. Currently, my Kel-Tec is considered a machine gun in DC. To the folks belly-aching about the Democrat involvement, tough. They control the house and bills don’t get voted on unless they say so. ... -
Unpossible
SayUncle on August 1st, 2008
I thought the protection of lawful commerce in arms act was supposed to prevent lawsuits against gun dealers? Even if they’re getting sued because someone walked out of their store with a gun that they did not sell them. ... -
