   | One of the favorite dodges of hoplophobes and other anti-firearm activists throughout America is to proclaim how they are “quite liberal”… right after or before saying that all they want is “more gun control”, as if being liberal were somehow vindication for that stance, or gave that desire more weight… [...] So the situation in Honduras has gotten… interesting. Most of the news sources out there are decrying it as an “illegal coup”, and even our Glorious President has come out condemning the individuals and groups who (peacefully) overthrew the previous President. However, a little bit of a background always makes… [...] It seems that Randy Rayburn doesn’t like the fact that restaurateurs can make a different business decision than him, so he’s suing to prevent restaurant carry from becoming law.

I worked the TFA booth for a little bit, I wanted to try to sell that green laser, and I wanted to sell my high-cap WASR-10 before prices dropped. [...] Unsurprisingly, the “Control and Tax”… er… I mean… “Cap and Trade” bill pass the House early Friday morning last week. Even more unsurprisingly, the bill passed even before our duly-elected Representatives had a chance to read all 1390-odd pages of it. I say that is unsurprising because our… [...] Well, it would appear as though another one of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s cases was overturned by the Supreme Court. For those keeping score at home, that five cases of hers reversed by the Supreme Court and two upheld, though in one of those upheld cases, the Supreme Court… [...] So I went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen over the weekend, and good movie or not, the Transformer series continues to be one of the best advertisements for the United States Armed Forces – damn near every shiny toy we have, and some we do not, was put… [...] Fair warning to my fellow Magic: The Gathering players: On 11JUL09, the rules change (simultaneous with the pre-release of the new “Magic 2010″ core set, which is not the “tenth edition”, despite its misleading set icon). A quick summary of the rule changes follows: [...] Who knew that wallabies were extraterrestrials who needed poppies to stay alive? One would think that they would have found a better organism to fail at emulating than a kangaroo, though… [...] A while back, I picked up a Kershaw Speed Bump, and have been very happy with it ever since – despite being a right-hand only knife, it has been riding around in my left pocket for the past six months, and the assisted-opening technology combined with the blade… [...] If I ever get to the point where I have sufficient spare change to replace my old-and-defunct laptop (unlikely, given the firearm and firearm-related market prices these days), and if I ever actually see the need for having a laptop again, this might be a good choice. Granted,… [...] Well, it turns out that our Glorious President’s administration decided to rescind their July 4th cook-out invitations to the Iranian diplomats:
… [...] Yesterday afternoon, a 22 year veteran of the Metro Nashville Police Department was shot multiple times by a convicted felon who had escaped from prison earlier that day. It is unclear how he was able to approach the officer’s car from the front without being seen or if the… [...] Remember that myth that 90% of the firearms being used by criminals in Mexico came from the United States?
… [...] My parental units are visiting this weekend. Expect posting over the next few days to be light (at least on my part). [...] Engineers would never do something like this: [...] Huh:
… [...] Could this be a view of our own future?
… [...] Put this in the Mall Ninja category. [...] As usual, Joe Huffman continues to make a lot of people (myself included) very happy that he is on our side:
… [...] Did anyone else see a Random Bag of Crap show up in yesterday’s surprisingly-short Woot-Off? I surely did not… [...] Well, it would seem as though Mostly Genius took a little exception to my previous post concerning modifying and accessorizing firearms. That, in and of itself, I do not mind, and in fact I encourage it – after all, everyone is free to disagree or agree… [...] I have been largely silent on the situation in Iran, simply because I am a jaded, cynical bastard. Yeah, we all know that the election was rigged, and thus is one hell of a travesty. Yeah, people are being oppressed, subjugated, beaten, assaulted, and controlled, and their natural rights are… [...] Hoplophobes love to point to Canada as an example of their idyllic rights-free environment – firearms are heavily regulated, requiring licensing for purchasing and ownership, and also mandating complete registration of all firearms… though current numbers estimate that only 2/3s of the firearms in Canada have actually been registered. Granted,… [...] ACORN is changing its name to Community Organizers International.
… [...] For most of the past eight years, all manner of individuals have been decrying the USA PATRIOT Act (I will have to admit to never knowing that its name was an acronym.) whenever and wherever possible. A lot of those dissenters came from the left side of the… [...] Earlier this week I mentioned that Civil Liability for Posted Properties was on my wish list for 2010. I’d like to expand on that. [...] A commenter over at Say Uncle‘s asks the following question of those of us who dare to modify our firearms for comfort and/or usability:
… [...] This has got to sting just a little:
… [...] As you all might have noticed by now, if you are viewing these posts at the actual “walls of the city” webpage (and not through an RSS feeder), all post titles and metadata are now [...] By way of an update on the Tavor situation I mentioned previously, I have this:
… [...] As you probably heard, we recently had a debate in Tennessee over allowing people with Handgun Carry Permits to dine in restaurants which happen to also serve alcohol. It was pretty heated at times, mostly because of ignorance and misreporting on what the proposed law would have allowed. There were… [...] You have probably heard that the Customs and Border Protection folks are bound and determined to define as “switchblades” all knives that can be opened with one hand,… [...] Well, the Tennessee Legislature wrapped up it’s 2009 session last week. This was the first session in a loooooong time that didn’t have Jimmy Naifeh presiding (and single-handedly killing bills he didn’t like), so there was a lot of progress as far as gun rights legislation is concerned. This was… [...] You might have sufficient ammunition when concerns about the structural integrity of the floor beneath your stash are expressed.
