What caliber for red light camera?


In New Jersey, of all places. Those holes look pretty big, but apparently they recovered bullets from inside the camera boxes. 12 gauge slugs, perhaps? Looks like all the deer slug riddled signs around here.

Sunday Car pr0n

Just because. I can't afford it anyway. I'd like to try the Mustang GT or Boss 302, though.






Sunday gun pr0n

Found a gun today, a 1926 Mosin Nagant 91/30. Stopped by Jax in Ames after some Hickory Park and bowling/games* at Perfect Games. BS'ed with the counter guys for a while, grabbed some supplies, and was heading out when I saw a Mosin. The instant I saw it was a hex, I bought it. Just because. Sorry about the crappy pics, I didn't have a camera handy.
1926 Izhevsk Arsenal markings

Everything but clips.

No rust under the stock, unlike the M44 I've been 'borrowing'
Need to clean the cosmoline off and start shooting the heck out of it.

I also got the chance to fill out my first computerized 4473 form. Yay me.

* I lost to my 5 year old and my wife, not gonna live that down. Of course, you can imagine my preferred usage for bowling pins. But I won more tickets.

I'd love to see this one

Ted Nugent promised to donate $10,000 to Bill O'Reilly's charity of choice if he, or his staff, can legally purchase a full auto weapon within 30 days without the government knowing about it. Apparently ol' Bill had been spouting off again in ignorance of all the gun control laws that actually exist in this country. He apparently thinks that the Hughes amendment to the 1986 FOPA does not exist, or the NFA of 1934.

Of course, this is a no-win situation for O'Reilly- he can't buy a NFA gun legally without notifying the government. Instant felony. If he addresses the challenge on air, he has to acknowledge that he is wrong on the issue. Hell, he might have to educate people on how hard registered guns are to legally get in this country. Subverts his lies that way, too.

Alan West Ad not Racist

So says the NAACP. I think the exact words were, "F that Uncle Tom." The article just dresses it up. Standard rules apply, repeating the exact words that Obama speaks is racist.

So, Paul Ryan?

I checked, MSNBC hasn't broken into the Olympics with a 6 hour special about him. Yet. Must be taking time to coordinate with Lorne Michaels about what statements of his they want to blow out of context. Guessing lots of "balancing the budget on the backs of people who don't pay taxes" stories?

Well, at least he isn't another super RINO.

Speaking of MSNBC, when do they change the channel name?

Aw, PETA gets thrown out of the state fair

For having bad language in the video shown in their booth.

Hahhahahahahahahaaahahaahahahahahhahahaahahaahahahaa.

Let me catch my breath....

Hahhahahahahahahaaahahaahahahahahaahahahaahahaahahahaa.
Hahhahahahahahahaaahahaahahahahahaahahahaahahaahahahaa.

They want their money back for the booth. I'd deliver it in a leather bag.

Use of a 30 round magazine in self defense.

How's that headline grab you?* From Ma-rooned, one of his dead goblin additions.

A crew decided to rob a gun store, and the owner responded using an AR-15, emptying a mag while fighting the men, killing at least one and wounding the other two. Good. The fact that the morons announced they would kill the guy makes it even better- guess they thought a guy who lives behind his gun store would surrender when faced with 3 putzes attacking him. Guess what, guys? Hippie peacenik types don't own gun stores.

*We need more positive news published of uses of those items that the anti-rights crowd wants eliminated.

And that is un-news: updated

Former head of the Iowa Democrat Party arrested for pulling a Randy Travis, albeit without the stupid remarks to police*. And it is nowhere to be found on the local rag's website. At this time. I know he resigned from the Democrat job over health issues. Were he a Republican, he would be on the top of the front page for 2 weeks.

*Update. His remarks WERE stupid, just not violent.

Officer: Where are your pants?

MK: I'm just going to get tacos.

Gawd I wish I had a story to link to. The radio updates get better and better.......

Feel sorry for his wife, she seemed like good people when I met her over a decade ago. (My wife interned at the TV station she worked for at the time)

Update: link here. Guess when you have a D next to your name, your story gets held until you can come up with a statement.

Writer calls for death of his opponents

Wanting the NRA to be charged with treason is exactly that. A writer, using his first amendment rights, calling for people who disagree with him to be executed for treason. Yet another anti gun zealot willing to use the government to force others at the barrel of a gun to believe his way. I may have been glib over at Sebastian's blog, but in reality this Cook offends me, and reaffirms my opinion that most antis are in it for the power over others.

More PSH over carry at a theater

In Connecticut, this time.

The mayor is quoted: 'just because it is legal, doesn't make it right.' Going to guess he part of Bloomberg's new group, Mayors Against Legal Guns (and large sodas).

For the lawyer's part, OPSEC might need to be practiced a little better.

*PSH=Pants Sh!tting Hysteria

Mitt Romney = Dr Manhattan?

That seems to be the gist of that wacky not 0bama Obama ad. Apparently people who are married to people who have worked for him in the past have gotten cancer. Wow, just like in the comic. I'm sold, even though he isn't glowing blue.

Wait, the point was supposed to be that the guy was laid off by a company Romney didn't run at the time, while his wife had insurance from her job, 4 or 5 years before she was diagnosed with end stage cancer? Nah, I like my version better. Makes more sense.
Yet all Romney does is run ads touting 0bama's record. Boooorrrrrrrinnngggg.
*don't drag your dead out if you don't want them looked at.....
** I hate looking like I support Romney. Piss off if you think I like the guy.
