Stanford ‘Scientist’s’ Free Will Conclusions Can Ultimately Be Abused to Attack Freedom

“This means accepting that a man who shoots into a crowd has no more control over his fate than the victims who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time”… [More]

My gut bacteria made me do it! Oh, and you didn’t build that.

Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers

The man, who has only been identified as a 28-year-old from Redwood, then attempted to rob the gun store owner by swiping a firearm while wielding a hammer, according to witness statements to police. The gun store owner, who has not been named, grabbed a gun and fired two rounds at the suspected robber. [More]

That’s one way to commit suicide.

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

Republicans exude optimism as fourth speaker candidate heads to the House floor [More]

Mike Johnson:

…has introduced the Fix the Immigration Loopholes Act in order “to protect minors and asylum seekers, while reducing fraud at the southern border.”

You know, future Democrat voters.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Won’t get fooled again…?

Living Large

We went to a local restaurant’s grand opening over the weekend and they had cars like this on display to set the mood. Me, I was wondering why I had to park the 2015 Sonic a couple of blocks away.

We were in the middle of the lotus root and Peking duck when the Mrs. nudged me and said “There’s that famous reporter guy over there, the Al Capone’s vault guy…”

I looked over and sure enough, seated with some well-heeled types at the end of a table a few down from ours was none other than Geraldo, who seemed to be having a good time and was, for the most part, not overly bothered by occasional patrons recognizing him and begging for selfies.

I made her squirm a bit when I threatened to walk over and show him a selfie I’d posted some years back.

There are armed gangs and there are authorized armed gangs.

We’re the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough

An NYPD cop and her boyfriend were arrested Thursday on federal narcotics distribution charges and related conspiracy counts for selling more than a kilo of heroin and nearly a pound of fentanyl to a confidential source working for the FBI. [More]

And up until the time she was arrested, she was legally empowered to arrest you for being armed where the city dictated you could not be.

On the Gunny Side of the Street

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]

WarOnGuns Correspondent JR asks if a public easement means you can be armed on private property traversed by a sidewalk.

Once More Unto the Breach

Thousands of biometric gun safes are being recalled due to concerns they can allow unauthorized access, federal officials said, citing a lawsuit alleging a 12-year-old boy died from a firearm obtained from a breached safe. [More]

So they give it up to more than just the feds…?

Biometric, eh…?

Weasel Wording with Winchester II

WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike F writes:

I contacted Winchester Customer Support and got the same response that the other gentleman received.

The same non-response…

Based on the number of gun owners contacting them, that is, a handful, they feel they can ignore inquiries. That tells us something about their management. It also tells us about something else.

It’s nice to know they’re not all like that.

Deal with the Devil

Kennedy cuts deal with Schumer on veterans’ gun rights amendment [More]

No worries. Chris Murphy promises to torpedo the deal.

And they’ll pressure Kennedy to come through on his end with a threat to blame Republicans.

Speaking of Zero Tolerance for FFL Errors…

*Glock 22 40 caliber REVOLVER??
*Glock Model 27 45 (it is supposed to be a 40)
*Browning B799 (it should be a BT-99) 12 ga

This wouldn’t be a big deal, but…the ATF is shutting down gun dealers for minor paperwork errors… [More]

I came across this 2008 post while looking for something else. The original link to the spreadsheet is no more so I had to download one from the Wayback Machine.
