Air BATFU
 |
| The Kelvin Crenshaw Experience! |
Airsoft Insanity. ATF, having plunged its left arm in a pot of boiling oil over pistol grip shotguns, sticks its right in over Airsoft "machine guns." [More]Sipsey Street Irregulars brings us this latest in an ongoing saga.
Question: Why can't the original page be found? What's with a cached version only? Perhaps it's just an innocuous glitch, but where BATFU is concerned, I make no assumptions.
Regulars will recall we've been following this story for some time:
Why is ATF seizing toy guns?
Why is ATF ducking questions about 'toy gun' seizure?
Why do ATF employees question fitness of agent in 'toy gun' seizure?
Fox News: Airsoft can be converted to real guns. Will that make toy owners felons? As a follow-up to that question, I asked:
If, in fact, these toy guns pose a legal and real danger, is everyone in possession of such a lower receiver now in possession of an illegal firearm?UPDATE: Mike doesn't think the cache business is necessarily innocuous either.
Will there be a recall? Will BATFE issue a circular to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers...and local law enforcement?
Importantly, will anyone who has one now be in danger of being classified a felon if it can be proven they know about this, making their possession or transfer of their airsoft gun "willful," and thus subject to criminal prosecution?
Do we now have a new crop of criminals? Hundreds or thousands of them? How could that not be the case?
Still Crazy After All These Years
Bush Would Have Endorsed Obama [Read]The "Vote Freedom First" President? This is my shocked face.
Tangentially related, it looks like that wretched gungrabber Mark Kirk is joining the self-styled "Mod Squad."
Doug Bandow once wrote:
There are no more useless creatures than centrist Republicans.On one level I agree. On another, I think some understand and exploit their usefulness quite well, and I don't just mean as idiots.

Court officer in bathroom accidentally shoots self [More]And for "Only Ones" flushed with pride at the exalted seat they strain to occupy, this type of sh... goes on all the time.
Why shouldn’t ‘human targets’ shoot back?
Now that looks like a ”Human Target” who wouldn’t emerge from Virginia Tech a professional victim hitting the Oprah circuit! [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at two human targets, one fictional, and asks why real ones should be required.
Also get a field report from American Trigger Sports Network, where humans are targeting.
Do you know any humans you can target the link to?
This Day in History: November 11
On this day in 1778, Patriot Colonel Ichabod Alden refuses to believe intelligence about an approaching hostile force. As a result, a combined force of Loyalists and Native Americans, attacking in the snow, killed more than 40 Patriots, including Alden, and took at least an additional 70 prisoners, in what is known today as the Cherry Valley Massacre. The attack took place east of Cooperstown, New York, in what is now Otsego County. [More]
