Tom Harkin's Lame Duck Plans

ATF operation Yakkity Sax

I double dare you to read this article about an ATF clusterfuck operation in Milwaukee and not start hearing "Yakkity Sax" over and over again.

They lost an M4- yes, an actual "only ones" M4, not an AR-15. A real assault rifle, in other words. Not the made up kind that people want to ban because they look scary. In addition, they were buying guns at such inflated prices people were buying guns at full retail and selling them to the ATF at a profit.

Maybe this is why Milwaukee's sheriff says you need to arm yourself- the ATF sure sucks at their job.

If taking away rights is so much work

Why doesn't Beth Bye (D) resign? If being stuck in a hearing is so much work, why doesn't CT just suspend all that public reading and testimony and go full Reichstag Fire Decree like New York did?

And a picture, found at ARF com:

 Guess the anti gun crowd really don't give a shit about the victims of loser boy Lanza. Just demonizing gun owners.

Nice shop

Apparently The New Republic got suckered by a parody website. Nice.

I wonder

Wal Mart had a large stack of Winchester 12 gauge Sabot slugs marked "Do not sell." Wonder if that is because they are a new item, or they were hiding the 22LR/5.56/anything worth a crap behind them?

Idjits

Just what we needed, our long national nightmare is over

5 years in prison and a 500,000 dollar fine for unlocking your smart phone to work on another network. Wow, that makes less sense than SBR rules. What's next, a penalty in Obamacare for smoking?

Interesting

Aero Precision lowers have been "in stock" for over three hours. Either they have more for sale or people aren't biting as hard at $200.

Did I hear right that Widners sold 15 million rounds of IMI 5.56 in 3 hours?

Feinstein saw a Slidefire stock ZOMG

Guess she was on Face the Nation with Bob "I Hates Me Some Gun Owners" Schieffer whining that people could buy a Slidefire stock, saying it makes the "gun act fully automatic." Um, no. Even the ATF, who prides itself on killing people over a 1/4" too short of a barrel, says the Slidefire is not full auto. But, shoe strings are. Guess Diane didn't want to sound like she had gone full retard by bringing up that story.

Update:
Some loser just called in to Limbaugh repeating Feinstein's bullshit about "collapsible stocks" making the guns full auto. What a moron. Even Rush knew that it was a bump fire stock. So now the anti rights spammers are out there saying collapsible stocks = full auto. So they are going full retard.

Oil filter suppressor

Just a thought. Guess having an oil filter spud and a threaded barrel are now constructive possession. But, that would still leave the gases blasting you in the face. Unless the filter has a drainback valve.

Wonder how well they work with a used filter? $75 plus the stamp. Too bad that A: The ATF artificially delays what should merely be a NICS check. And B: I can't buy one in Iowa, as we are an "only ones" state.

Sunday Gun Related Shopping

Both Sportsman's Warehouse and Bass Pro Shop look like they were robbed. A few revolvers (SA and DA) and odd caliber autos are all that are left. And a few 1911s at Sportsmans.  Shotguns seem relatively unaffected. Even the bolt action rifles seem to be down, but they are spread out more to make it look like they have stock. And the lever action pickings are slim to none. Most common reloading components are wiped. I've been doing my part to keep the 270 bullets in short supply, but I shoot the crap out of them. No powder that I shoot (Re10x, AA2200, H335,H322) in the stores. Most .223 bullets are gone. .308 too. Did find some .311 for the Mosin Nagants.

I'll admit I didn't go to the gun show this weekend. Not because of the ND one dealer had; I was working and found it very tough to get free. Plus I read on ARF com that the main reloading guy I go to was pretty much sold out. (See powder list above)

Nearly 1000 march against civil rights

So says the Washington Post. Sounds like the line to get in at a gun show.
