inevitable is as inevitable does

Apparently I need to write my suspicions, fears, and prognostications down more often, because I totally called this:

Tucson Police confirm that a weapon they found in Jose Guerena’s home had been stolen in 2008.

Tucson Police say a gun found in Guerena’s house had been stolen in

making that sale

Want to know how I know you are desperate to make a sale?  You try to build hype about your new “discreet messenger bag” by announcing, and I quote, Exclusive Hidden pocket that will only be disclosed to those purchasing the bag (complete with bolding).  

Nothing personal against …

gunwalker keeps on truckin’

I fully admit to being somewhat negligent in my tracking of the series of illegal and illicit gun trafficking incidents perpetrated by the BATFE (otherwise known as "Gunwalker", "Gunrunner", or "Operation Fast and Furious" (of all the idiotic names they could have chosen…)); however, other folks have not been so …

What they say:

Not everything has to be political! Sheesh!

What they mean:

I attempted to make a political point using a false premise that happens to reinforce my politics, and I got my *** handed to me by someone who knows more about the subject than me. Rather than

continuing to be serious business

Hm.  I wonder if the suppressor-company-that-shall-not-be-named (hereafter known as SCTSNBN… trust me, I thought long and hard about trying to get another collection of letters to work) will be suing SilencerCo for their review of a recent suppressor-related event?  

I am, of course, speaking facetiously.  I think.  I hope.  …

Yes, my friends, that is a single-action, fixed six-round-cylinder USFA-fabricated knock-off of the infamous Taurus Judge… with a gorramed flash suppressor screwed onto the end of it.

quote of the day – amballtrip

Through various graphical representations (inspired and created by a fellow pro-rights advocate), we firearm owners have been attempting to express to the public as a whole how irrational "gun control" is given its purported goals – if "gun control" supporters (otherwise known as anti-rights cultists ‘round these parts) really …

it is all a matter of perspective

Dragon brings up an interesting point regarding the recent Long Island pharmacy murders:

Regardless, this latest killing does NOT help our cause as supporters of the 2A. [Shooter] was legally allowed to own handguns, in complete accordance and adherence to NY laws. He had no prior criminal history. He

public service announcement

Should I Change My Password?

Go there and check.

For those of you who have not been paying attention to the dark underbelly of the internet, hacker organizations "Lulzsec" and "Anonymous" (when they are not busy sniping at one another) have declared war on… well… pretty much everyone and have …

water always wins

In a previous life, I served for two years as the Electrical Engineering Officer onboard an FFG-7 class Guided Missile Frigate (kind of a misnomer, given that the Mk13 "Single-Armed Bandit" missile launcher had been removed a year before I stepped aboard) – a position that gave me a somewhat …

with his tail firmly between his legs

Pretty much everyone else has understandably beaten me to this news already, but apparently Paul Helmke is abandoning the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership.

*shrug* Good riddance. Maybe now he will find the time to do something actually constructive with his life… in the end, shoveling cow …

rapidly becoming the best place on the ‘net

In case you have been living under a rock for the past few days, it would appear as though my favorite firearm parts distributor, Brownells has just started carrying ammunition. From a quick comparison with AmmoEngine (who has not started listing Brownells, but hopefully will soon), it would …

going outside their comfort zone

I will freely admit that this is not a regular topic here at "walls of the city", and if I unintentionally insult someone, that was not my intent, and I will apologize for it beforehand. If I intentionally insult someone, though, all bets are off. And, finally, a potentially-not-safe-for-work warning …

never hurts to ask

Observant commenters and HTML-readers probably noticed a count-up timer now occupying a slot on the left-side column, which probably spawned the inevitable question of, "What is Linoge counting up towards?"

Well, I am seeing if the paperwork backlog at the BATFE is really as bad as has been indicated

The tragedy of confirmation bias

Linoge has posted twice about the Jose Guerena incident, but I wanted to post my thoughts as well.

Several days ago, SayUncle posted a link to a story on the Guerena incident and while clicking through I came across this transcript of an interview between the Pima County Sherriff’s Department …
