Gun control is still failing

Last time I checked, David Gregory was not charged with a crime. And it is an open and shut case, unless they are building a massive conspiracy case against NBC. Yeah, that's a stretch.

Permits up in Iowa

Not just permits to carry, but permits to acquire pistols. Yes, in Iowa the subjects have to play "mother may I" to be allowed the right to buy a handgun.  In Polk county alone, 400 permits applied for in December, a record for the past 3 years. Plus 700 carry permits applied for. I'm guessing people are waking up. The only reason to get a PtA is it usually takes only a week or less with no additional training, while Polk County drags out the permit to carry process to almost the full 30 days they are allowed by law. I'm guessing people are waking up to the fact that they need to buy the handguns now, not after another AWB or mag limiting law comes to pass.

I wonder how many rushed to buy a handgun after Sandy Hook, only to find out that gun control does exist and there are all these fancy ass hoops you have to go through.

Reading the comments at the article, they first had pictures of NFA weapons, which the commoners of Iowa are not allowed to own, either. Looks like they swapped it for a photoshopped Glock.

And people wonder why I carry

Out of prison 36 hours, charged with murder and kidnapping. Wow, dude wasn't letting the grass grow under his feet. Parole or aged out of juvenile justice system?

Darned open carry crowd

Wait, it was the police carrying. And a namby pamby diner at a Denny's complained. You would think they would feel safer in a restaurant full of cops.

Uh oh

Midway's AR mags went from out of stock, backorder okay, to No Backorders. Brownells is still offering backorders. Still at pre-dbag prices.

I'm afraid to ask them

My aunt (in law) and her wife live in Illinois. They often ask me about guns and what it takes to get one. They, as of last check, didn't have a FOID card. Guess they will be stuck with whatever they are stuck with if this shit rolls that far down hill.

Not that it isn't coming nationally, in some form. Besides every blue state with a chip on its shoulder.

Case study: Response to court decisions

Massachusetts and Iowa were told to have gay marriage or else by courts. Good ol' Mitt Romney moved heaven and earth to make that happen in Mass. Iowa, on the other hand, has seen Republicans pass bills out of the house to ban it, regulate it, etc. They all are stopped in the Democrat controlled Iowa senate to prevent the state lefties from having to come out of the closet (heh) and vote, one way or the other.

Contrast that with the state of Illinois- they have been told to allow carry or have it forced upon them. What do the Democrats do? Go completely insane and attempt to ban any firearm that is worth defending your life with. One party sure seems to be better at playing politics than the other. Of course, the political opportunists can't let a crisis of their own doing (gun free zones) go to waste, now, can they?

Additionally, gay marriage rulings stem from Equal Protection Clauses. So how do they get around that when states say police can have something the regular subjects can't? It would be novel to apply the "protection"  meaning of the word to weapons. Hey, an ordinary citizen has at least as much right to defend him or herself as well as any public servant. The person paying the public employee's salary has a right to come home alive at the end of the day, too.

I know, it means protection from the state and random laws depriving citizens of (certain) guaranteed rights.

Salesman of the decade

4.8 Million background checks in November and December, per the FBI. 2 million in November and 2.8 million in December. That doesn't include those who don't have to get NICS checks due to holding state permits. Both months were records. Pretty easy when every AR pattern rifle in the country sells out in a matter of one week.


Any racist lefties wanting to blame this on Obama's skin color really don't get it- any Democrat would be given the same benefit of the doubt when in comes to firearms.

NYC needs subway control

Darned suicidal people. Maybe they need a mental health check and force people to fill out a 4473 each time someone buys a subway ticket.

No one was killed by a subway train in Iowa- we don't have any of those death machines here. Maybe New York City needs to look into that idea.

LaRue Tactical ending .mil .gov discounts

Posted here and here on ARF com. Apparently they sent out an email to existing customers explaining it, placing the blame on increased costs due to Obamacare. Another poster claims Cabelas put a 2.3% medical device F.E.T. on his bill. Don't know if that is F.U.D. or a cock-up on the software Cabelas uses. Considering the epic fail Obamacare is, we probably owe 2.3% tax on anything sold at a store located in a state with a Republican governor, nothing would surprise me anymore.

From Hell's Heart, I Stab at Thee...

Wow, thieving politicians in Illinois just don't quit. They have been spanked numerous times in court, to the point that the SAF is practically funded by Chicago and the state, so they are going to Quinn-tuple down on the totalitarianism. They plan tomorrow to attempt to ram through a bill banning just about all firearms-not just evil scary black rifles, but apparently any gun above a single shot. Even your duck guns, Mr Fudd. Confiscation is the aim. Made possible by the insanity of a FOID card. But all the apologists say registration never leads to confiscation.

We need a constitutional amendment applying all laws equally to the government that they would apply to the supposed citizens.

Bullying makes you a terrorist. Um, Okay....

The Daily Beast isn't The Onion, is it? Seriously, the author of this article is trying to say that some terrorist caught being a little terrorist bitch online was "bullied" by the US and Jordan, so he because a triple agent to kill our troops 3 years ago Sunday. Sounds like the CIA had a case of poor double agent selection syndrome. I'd hardly call torture bullying. Last time I checked, bullies call you a fag and punch you. They don't black bag you, (possibly) threaten to waste your family for being a terrorist (conjecture on my part) and then send you to Afghanistan to become the terrorist you pretended to be online. Sorry if I'm a little confused with someone comparing the first world problem of being picked on for being different with the reality of a grown ass man playing terrorist and succeeding, to our detriment.
