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.
The War to End All Wars
WRSA shows us what it always takes through a personal remembrance. [Read]
I'm humbled by sacrifices made and endured by those in my family, too.

We're the Only One...Oh, Crap! Enough
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]

A Prohibited Person?
As Mayor Adam Bradley's long-awaited domestic violence trial began Monday, his wife — whose words have only trickled out through leaked e-mails and police statements — took the stand to accuse her husband of kicking, taunting and abusing her. [More]Now understand I'm not saying I necessarily believe the wife. I've got all kinds of documentation of false accusations, particularly resulting from domestic disputes. There are a lot of crazy partners out there, and the man is innocent until proven guilty.
That said, ordinary mortals generally have ROs filed in these situations, and become de facto "prohibited persons" pending the outcome, and permanent ones if that outcome works against them. I'm just wondering out loud if he's been similarly "disabled".
And why, yes, since you asked:
This is my shocked face.
Mostly B...s...
Georgia and other states with weak gun laws have more crime. [More]This assumes a cause and effect relationship between citizen disarmament edicts and criminal behavior--and that guns cause crime.
It hasn't happened with the first assumption and can be shown as demonstrably untrue with the second--unless someone's been suppressing the news about those 4 million rampaging NRA members. Although an in-depth analysis of Furious Mike's "Only Ones" might cause me to revise that assessment...
From 1992 to 2008, nearly 2,000 New York Police Department officers were arrested, according to the department’s own annual reports of the Internal Affairs Bureau, an average of 119 a year.
Let's see, with approximately 40,000 full-time and auxiliary officers, can anybody figure out how much more "law-abiding" we who live just fine amidst "loose gun laws" are...?

False Alarm--Thank Your Lucky Stars
A campuswide alert warning of a gunman at the University of Missouri-St. Louis this morning turned out to have been caused by a longtime professor carrying antique guns as props for a class lecture, officials said. [More]
Seeing they're evidently not prepared to do anything but issue email alerts, I wonder what the headline would have read had he been an actual “gunmanTM”?

El Río de Hierro
In Nuevo Progresso, Tamaulipas, Mexico Today...[More]
And in related news, it looks like our old amigos Los Zetas have struck out on their own.
I guess they didn't sign a non-compete agreement with the Gulf Cartel?
Damned American gun shows...
What's a Little Payoff Between Friends?
A lobbyist known as one of California's most successful power brokers while serving as a legislative leader in that state paid Rep. Maxine Waters' husband $15,000 in consulting fees at a time she was co-sponsoring legislation that would help save the real-estate finance business of one of the lobbyist's best-paying clients, records show. [More]That would be Mike Roos, co-author of California's Roberti-Roos "assault weapons" ban.
You know, the guy who doesn't think you're trustworthy enough to handle technology that's been around since 1885.
We're the Only Ones Facilitating Enough
Hobbs was first suspended in 2002 for having sex with another Portland cop while one of the two was on duty and using police mobile computer e-mails to facilitate the relationship. She was set to face the same discipline for continuing to use work e-mails to arrange on-duty clandestine meetings with the same colleague in 2005. [More]So at $2,000 and 100 hours of paid vacation time restored, how much does that work out to?
