Oh, and By the Way…

He allegedly fired 17 rounds at the vehicle the officers were in from behind some shrubs… The suspect, 21-year-old Kelvin Vickers, was apprehended at a vacant house and officers recovered a 9 mm handgun… [More]

I wonder why it is I had to go through several “news” accounts to find the suspect has a “long criminal history“…?

Dance, Puppets, Dance!

The U.S. gun industry has effectively “captured” the law enforcement agency charged with regulating it, according to a new report from the Giffords Law Center that recommends a number of changes to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. [More]

Now that I know NSSF is holding them hostage maybe they can order them to cough up that information on Hunter Biden they’ve been holding on to…

When Fractions of a Second Count

The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones. [More]

Second time this morning I’ve channeled my inner Family Guy…

I may have to reconsider my position on suing gun manufacturers…

Debunking Sheila Jackson Lee’s Babble At House “Assault Weapon” Ban Hearing – HR 1808 [Watch]

She actually outdid her “heavy as 10 boxes” buffoonery at @6:45 in:

“There were eons, tens upon tens of guys with good guns…”

“Eons … of guys”?

Thanks, Jimmy Carter and the Senate!

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]

And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?

‘Active Shooter Alert’ Bill, Designed to Scare, Draws in GOP Traitors and Suckers

You can find out who the GOP turncoats are via the House Clerk’s recorded votes tally to see if your representative made the Dishonor Roll, either because he’s negligently ignorant, because he’s a proven embedded enemy (like the 15 Republican co-sponsors who have betrayed us before), or because he’s a pandering coward dumb enough to believe this will earn him media props and kudos from “our friends across the aisle” for being reasonable. [More]

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Shoulder Things That Go Up

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Minor’ Is

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.  [More]

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.

Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.

I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.
