Mr. Quigley would like to say a few words.
New York ‘Common Sense’ Gun Bill Could Get People Killed
"The prohibition would apply to pistols or revolvers manufactured twelve or more months after the effective date of the bill. Design features could include the capacity to adjust the trigger resistance of the gun to at least a ten pound pull, the capacity to alter the firing mechanism so- that an average five year old child’s hand would be too small to operate the gun, or the capacity to require a series of multiple motions in order to fire the gun." [More]Because nothing says "common sense gun safety" like mandatory accuracy impediments!

An Opposite Day 'Progressive' Open Mind
I know the NRA’s reputation, but I went to the convention with an open mind, prepared to have my stereotypical notions challenged... [More]You sure can't tell from all the B.S. talking point regurgitation that comes after that claim.
A Poisonous Snake of the Highest Order
This was not a violation of protocol, it was tactical. [More]
Pournelle admits this has not been verified, but as to the snake charge, I have reason to believe it.

Protections Vastly Different in Competing Knife Bills
The House and Senate versions appear to advocate for the same goals, with the exception of the repeal of the Federal Switchblade Act in the House version. But a breakdown of details shows protections being offered are not equal... [More]If there's one thing recent events should have taught us it's that not resolving legislative differences between industry and owner interests hurts all.
Q&A
I keep comment threads focused on the topic of each blog post. I generally don't allow off-topic comments, but occasionally get one that merits attention:
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Redirecting the Argument": David, Not part of this thread, but thought you might want to know. Was it you or Mike that was the source of the "anonymous tip" for Sharyl Attkisson's Fast & Furious reporting?

It wasn't me, and I don't believe it was Mike. She and her producer contacted us.
One thing not reflected in her narrative, because she may not know, is that we advised Dodson to speak with her producer to set up the interview:

The Mariana Trench
Bill reviving handgun ban goes to the Senate [More]If they want self-determination, don't interefere with them. But if they want to remain "a dependant territory ... under U.S. sovereignty," then rights and the "supreme Law of the Land" need to be recognized.
Under the latter case, rights violations like cruel and unusaual punishment would not be tolerated. Well, scratch that -- denial of rights is cruel. Unfortunately, noting the present state of continued statist barbarism, it's just not all that unusual.

VILLAINS IN UPCOMING VIDEO GAME ARE WHITE CHRISTIAN RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS FROM MONTANA [More]Gotta condition those blue pillers -- who can't tell the virtual world they spend more time in than meat space -- from the real one.
Offhand, the premise reminds me of another "progressive" hate fantasy, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale.
