Westfield Machine Gun Shoot Accident

A few weeks ago there was a mishap with a stunt demonstration involving explosives at Knob Creek.  Now an eight year old kid accidently shot himself with a submachine gun at a machine gun shoot in Westfield, Massachusetts.  I’m sorry to say, but this will probably be the end of machine gun shooting in Massachusetts.  This is the first accident I can honestly think of involving a Title II firearm, and there are hundreds of shoots like this all over the country year round, but none of that will matter to the hysterics that are going to follow in the Bay State.

Kel-Tec P-3AT Review

I’d like to review my Kel-Tec P-3AT, but it arrived out of the case with a defective barrel.  Wasn’t something I noticed under cursory inspection when I looked at it pre-purchase, because it was subtle, and lets face it, you don’t expect something like that to make it past quality control these days.  It probably wasn’t bad enough to prevent the gun from test firing.  It looked like something had impacted the barrel on the outside, because there was a visible tool mark, and if you looked at the inside of the barrel under a bore light, you could see that it dimpled through.

Now Kel-Tec is saying that it’ll take four to five weeks to turn around that part and get me a new barrel.  That’s an awful long time to wait for a part for a gun that never should have left the factory in the condition it was in.  I had been wanting a Ruger LCP, now I’m disappointed I didn’t hold out for one.  I can understand that sometimes a bad gun leaves the factory.  It happens to every manufacturer.  But a quick turnaround time on the part of Kel-Tec would have made it all better.  Four to five weeks is not an acceptable time period for fixing a gun that was defective out of the factory.

UN Support of Obama

Apparently the United Nation’s folks are quietly praying for an Obama victory.  Says John Bolton:

Conservatives who are skeptical of the United Nations said they are not surprised by the political tilt. “The fact is that most conservatives, most Republicans don’t worship at the altar in New York, and I think that aggravates them more than anything else,” said John R. Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “What they want is the bending of the knee, and they’ll get it from an Obama administration.”

They certainly will.

At An Undisclosed Location in Near Scranton …

… perusing through a friend’s collection of Mitch Rosen holsters, I discovered Bitter is a closet holster sniffer.  Hardly a holster went by that went unsniffed.  I have to admit, quality gun leather does smell pretty good.  My kydex holster smells more like dryer lint in comparison.  The day planner on the table is actually not a day planner, but a carefully crafted holster that holds my Glock 19 and a spare magazine quite nicely.  That could come in handy.

He Said What?

I hate Bill O’Reilly with a burning white passion, but a Fox reporter managed to catch up with Bill Ayers, wearing a big red star.  What he said stunned me:

You have to love a communist who says, “This is my property, will you please leave?”  How far the mighty have fallen eh?

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

Well, I suppose the world being described by John Lennon’s words is after Bill Ayer’s reeducation camps take care of our intrepid reporter.

Ask Tom McClintock a Question

Tom McClintock is a California State Senator.  He’s currently running for Congress in California’s 4th Congressional District, who’s seat is currently occupied by retiring Republican John Doolittle.  Tom has been a strong advocate for the Second Amendment, and conservative principles in California for a long time.  He carries an A rating, and an endorsement from the NRA.  He a good candidate who deserves the support of Golden State gun owners.

I have been offered an opportunity to interview Senator McClintock, and thought I would open up the comments to anyone who wants to ask a question of him.  I have a few I’m thinking of asking, but if someone comes up with a good one, I’d be happy to include it.

Why We Arm Ourselves

If you really want to know why the Second Amendemnt really exists, it’s because the people described here do:

We’re about to possibly elect a president from a political culture who believes Bill Ayers is “no big deal.”  Just keep that in mind as we head into November.

Careful Apple

Apple is donating 100 grand to a group opposing the anti-gay-marriage initiative, Proposition 8, on the ballot in California this election.  On this particular issue, I happen to agree with Apple, but I would be wary of a company that donates money to causes.  What happens when Apple donates 100 grand to oppose a ballot measure, say, recognizing the right to keep and bear arms in the California Constitution?  I would never buy another Apple product again, to be honest.

Smart corporations stay out of politics for a reason: it alienates people.  Apple should stick to making great products, and stay out of political fights.
