The Gun Blogs

It's funny when parody can become official Government fact. It's sad when the Brady Campaign parrots that information as if it were holy writ and actually uses it to further their own agenda. Talk about getting suckered on both sides by a gag!

Read more about their ineptitude here.

Well, since Fred Thompson dropped out of the 2008 race it looks like we have to find an alternative.

I think Kevin, over at The Smallest Minority: has the right answer:

I must confess, I'm shocked - shocked to see this happening in our country!

Felon convicted of lying to buy a handgun

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - An Antrim man has been convicted of lying about his past when he filled out forms to buy a handgun.
Prosecutors say 42-year-old Steven Delaurier, who has past felony and misdemeanor domestic violence convictions, lied about his criminal past.
A jury in Concord's federal court found him guilty. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in April.

New Hampshire, you better get your act together. Your criminals should know better than to lie! It's not nice. Maybe you all should try reasoning with them next time.

Gun Control

h/t to DougM, who found this one on gun free zones.

Robb over at SAAM gets his snark on and sends up the old anti-gunner position of the 2A being out of date, written when there were only muskets, etc.

It's time to admit that it is a living, breathing tablet

It's only common sense to consider that God, writing these commandments all those years ago, simply could not have understood how they could be interpreted today. Times change, and so should the commandments.

Careful, Robb, you'll get Frank J jealous.

Oh, check out comments.

This is not original to me, just figured that I would share, pass it along, some I have added from personal experience, but again I am not the first person to say this. Add some of your own, and we can try and get the 50 best or something. So comment and I will edit the list to include good ones.

This is for all you Ron Paul supporters out there.

After the Thompson/Hunter ticket wins the election next year, Ron Paul gets to direct the ATF !

Works for me. :-)

SO they come out with a new gun and they tout how it is so safe and one of those "safe" features is a loaded chamber indicator. This really annoys me, I mean what really does this do? Have we all forgoten that all guns are to be treated as loaded? If someone (IE not a "gun" person") picks up this gun that does not know the "All guns are loaded" rule, do you really expect them to know what a loaded chamber inticator is, and how to use it?
As for the gun savey population, they should know that the gun is loaded, or at least how to properly check the weapon. Now If you where to say to me that it is for "operators" to be able to feel instantly if their weapons are loaded, well missy let me tell you that I an't gonna belive some little tab to tell me if I have a weapon ready to go into leathel combat. First off those little things can get a little grit on them and then they stay "loaded" all the time. So if the indicator says that there is a round in the chamber does that mean I still have to check it before going out to check something going bumb in the night>?
I belive that it was said that somethings are brilant soultions to non-exitent proplem. This fits in that cadogery. Some Airforces did something simular, in that they painted a false cockpit on the underside of the aircraft. well it seemed like a great idea, until people had an ephiny and said "hey if they are close enough to see it, then they are close enough to not be fooled by it.
As far as gun safety, its really easy. Most Americans memorize many many numbers, phrases, and such in their lives. How had then is it for a persom to learn a few very simplE rules about gun handeling,
1 EVERY GUN IS LOADED!!!!!
2 DO NOT POINT A GUN AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WISH TO KILL/DESTROY!!
3 WHEN BEING HANDED A FIRARM FROM SOMEONE ELSE, YOU FIRST CHECK THAT THE WEAPON IS UNLOADED.
So I belive that if a person cannot learn, and abide by those rules, they should be taken to a group home where they help those with limited mental assets.

I'll be switched, it's in my own house!

Air-powered guns, spring-powered guns, edged weapons and even body armor! I think one of them may actually have been a dihydrogen monoxide delivery system.

I don't know about you, but I hear from guys all the time saying that they want to have a "________"(insert type of firearm) but the the wife/girlfriend doesn't want them in the house.
Now, I'll be the first to say that a person has the right to associate them selfs any way they want and to control their property, but I just don't get it.
In what way is a person safer with the guns outside in the hands of criminals and none inside with you to protect yourself?
It's time such as these that remind me that I have the most awesome wife on the planet.
No, she's not a big gun nut like me. She doesn't even go shooting with me very much (once a year or so) but she does insist that if I bring in a new firearm that she must be trained on it totally! From field stripping to loading to firing, she wants to know how.
She says that "if its going to be here, then she refuses to be ignorant of the paticulars."
To me this is the best outcome possible. Not only do I have a understanding wife but I also get to keep MY firearms without fear that she will like one to much and claim it as her own. Although there was that "Kimber" incident last year.
I have yet to get it back from her.
That being said, it's the only one she got her grubby little hands on.....so far.
The thing is that she knew me before she married me and accepted that I wasn't going to balk on this particular point (Just for the record, I did balk on a lot of other points, like no drinking and no pool table in the dining room etc.).
I just don't get guys who sat that they want a firearm for defense or even just for plinking but a relationship is in the way. It just seems like lying to change who you are for another person. They should love you because you're you.
I'll leave the rest for Dr. Phil.
Maybe this post would be "Sucking up" enough to get my Kimber back.......Probably not though.

Well, another shooting at a school. When are people going to learn? Now, everybody's going to be yelling more gun controll and we need better gun laws. ever woundered how a single person can walk into a room and blow away 30 people? What do you think would have happened if he walked into class and shot the teacher and then turned and looked at the class only to see most of the class was pointing a gun at him just before they blew him away. IF YOU WANT MORE GUN CONTROLL, HAVE EVERYONE BUY A GUN AND KEEP IT ON THEM AT ALL.I think the good people who go by the law far out numbers the bad people. Then it would be just a matter of time before all the bad guys are done in. I do know this, You would never hear of anyone killing 30 + people. I know that after they shot one person, SOMEBODY is going to shoot them. Think about it? Woodzman

I'm getting to technical for my own good. Maybe it was the military training where you memorize the firearm nomenclature before you learn to march in a straight line. Or maybe it comes from my father who always said "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right". Either way, I have a problem that my shooting buddies think is funny as heck. I just can't stand it when I hear someone refer to a magazine as a clip. I know, I know, these days they are pretty mush interchangeable. I just can't brake from what I was taught over and over again.
A "clip" holds the rounds at the base of the cases and is inserted into the internal magazine of a weapon (like th M1 Garand) while a "magazine" completely encompasses the rounds and is inserted into a well.
It's a source of amusement for my buddies (I'm happy that I make them happy.) and a source of angst for me. I know it doesn't really matter, but dang it, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
