sanity roll fail

In a post that is all-too-appropriate for Halloween, behold the type of people who want to “restore sanity” in our nation (link may be NSFW, depending on where you work, but the entire site definitely is).

More here.

I feel encouraged already. …

push-button dots

Now this is an interesting idea, and raises the obvious question – why do companies like EOTech and Aimpoint not offer momentary-on pressure-switches for their sights? Yes, I know their batteries last for damned near forever, but it seems like it would be an easy enough thing to add, …

they’re coming…

For five bucks, Plants vs. Zombies is totally worth it, and appropriate for the holiday. …

trapping them one at a time

Seems to have been the week for good email:

Regardless of how the rest of your day goes, here’s something to be happy about — today one of your donated MXs helped to identify a previously unknown email harvester (IP: 188.28.208.105). The harvester was caught a spam trap email address

’round and ’round it goes

My failures on skateboards are consistent, predictable, and probably just shy of “epic”, but Brooklyn Workshop‘s Freerider SkateCycle might actually convince me to give the idea a try again.

Might.

Assuming I have enough padding, armor, and gear on.

‘Course, it does not hurt/help that “hubless” wheels are about …

big numbers

‘Round about 1513 EDT, a visitor was referred here by Weer’d’s recent post concerning a supposed Asperger’s Syndrome test, and, assuming my accounting is correct, he/she/it was the 250,000th visitor this webpage has seen.

Wow. A quarter of a million, in a little less than five years. Not too …

funny how the world works

In comments in a recent post, a self-identified employee of Remington provided a link to that company’s debunking of CNBC’s recent hit-piece against the 700, and I admitted to the employee that I did not link to it myself primarily because I hate sitting through videos that present …

conflate this!

I do not read The Huffington Post – I find I have little tolerance for the whole, “We’re like DailyKos, but better, ’cause we’re journalists,” schtick, nor the repitition of its articles – but, thankfully (or is that “unfortunately”) my readers do, and occasionally email me interesting snippets.

For …

begging permission to exercise a right

It is starting to look like New York City wants their authoritarian gun laws challenged in a court of law:

Under proposed revisions to the police department’s handgun, rifle and shotgun permit procedures, the NYPD can reject gun license applicants for a number of reasons, including:

If they have

quote of the day

I did my best not to quote this entire post from David Hardy, but it was somewhat difficult, given that the entire thing was giggle-inducing:

Another “this is pitiful” moment

Brady Campaign issues candidate endorsements, State and Federal.

In 21 States, they cannot find a single candidate, at either

reviewing the gun

Well, this does not happen every day.

Simon and Schuster (the book company, and publishers of writings by Ursula K. Le Guin, Glenn Beck, and Stephen King, just to drop a few names) is sending me a copy of The Gun, by C. J. Chivers, to …

quote of the day

Today’s quote comes to us from Gerry Ashley, the gentleman we talked about yesterday, and specifically his reaction to all the offers of assistance, advice, and support that have come from the pro-rights community:

Thanks for your response. The fact is, this is turning out to be a

rrraaaccciiiss…. ohwait

Our Glorious President seems to have been taking speech lessons from his Vice President:

“…we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

just deserts

I do hope this video finds its way into the upper-level offices of Microsoft, and specifically their video game hardware department, but I have to wonder where the Marines procured (or assembled?) the fully-automatic Sten gun…

sale time

Starting right about two hours ago and running through until midnight tomorrow night, if you purchase two white or light T-shirts from CafePress, and you enter the code “CAMISETA”, you get them both for $20 total – not a bad deal.

Sure would be nice to stock up on some …

awareness != fear

It is fairly likely that all of my readers are aware of the concept of “defensive driving”, and the fact that a lot of organizations and programs make a lot of money preaching it, both in terms of pre-emptive skillset building, and post-ticket mandatory training – organizations including Alive at

is suppressing a crossbow really necessary?

I was thinking about this the last time I mowed the lawn, but why are there no products that combine hearing and eye protection into one overall device? (Yes, I wear hearing protection while mowing the lawn – I value my ears.) In my case, the ear pieces of my …

welcome aboard

Yesterday, thanks to my Google Alerts, I stumbled across Gerry Ashley’s story regarding possibly purchasing his first firearm, and I asked Robb if that was in his area of Florida. Lo and behold, it was, and thankfully the offer of assistance has already been extended – buying your …

like shooting fish in a barrel

Today, we are going to return to the tactic that prompted me to create this category in the very beginning… In Southern Beale’s latest anti-gun screed, she started off whining and moaning about how her previous anti-rights blather seemed to attract some less-than-salutory comments and attention; however, I find …
