"It’s summertime and the shooting is CZ. When it comes to this beauteous ballistic Czech mate, you’re in one of two camps. Either you own a CZ and love it or you haven’t shot it yet. I’m in the former camp; I own a CZ 75 P-01. Despite the obvious fanboy joke, my love isn’t blind. Where it counts there’s awesomeness. Elsewhere . . . let’s just say I’ve had to learn the art of compromise. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Pull up a cubicle and listen as I tell you a tale of beauty juxtaposed with horror . . ." ... |

"The instant the rabbi and I walked into Xtreme Action Sports’ indoor paintball facility in Walpole Mass for our 1pm Simunitions class I knew were f’ed. Six men gathered around the staging area. I could tell at a glance they were all Army and/or LEOs, except for one, who looked every inch the silent, crazy type. Classmates? Nope. Instructors. It was just the rabbi and me. No ’bout a doubt it: I was going to get shot. Many times. How great is that?"
"Pretty great. I got more from King33‘s Sims class in five minutes than I grokked in the last three years at a square range. No surprise there. If you want to know what you’re going to do in a gunfight, what you should do in a gunfight, you have to have a gunfight. ..." ... |

"If you’ve read any of my past reviews, you’ll know that I like Ruger’s guns. They’re extremely generous with their testing policies, so I get to shoot a lot of their products. I haven’t shot a Ruger yet that didn’t meet my expectations and no one does rimfire better. There may be individual products out there that outperform a specific Ruger gun, but Ruger understands the value of the most utilitarian of all chamberings and offers more .22 guns than any other company.

"Monica Crowley, Fox News’ conspiracy-theory gal, predictably appeared on Hannity last night to offer her 'insights' into the Fast and Furious investigation. And lo and behold – she saw a conspiracy! This was no botched operation but a deliberate effort by the Obama administration 'set up as an assault on the Second Amendment.' Crowley, who also made a name for herself by buddying up to Richard Nixon, also agreed with Sean Hannity that this so-called scandal is 'bigger than Watergate.'" ...

"'I feel good today about the decision,' Parks said after the verdict and before he walked out of the courtroom."

"The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing yesterday ended, as expected, with a strong majority voting to recommend that the House hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, for his defiance of document subpoenas in the 'Project Gunwalker' investigation. The vote by the entire House could come as early as next week, if House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) can keep his nerve."
"What would frighten Boehner into letting Holder off the hook? Some suspect it is the threat of being labeled 'racist,' for aggressively pursuing charges against America's first black attorney general, appointed by our first black president. Indeed, Holder himself has worked to stoke such fears in his critics." ... |

"The GOP isn‘t pursuing justice for the hundreds of Mexicans who’ve died or the American border agents who have been killed at the hands of cartel members armed with guns our ATF let walk across the border. Republicans aren‘t even trying to fight back against an administration policy that would threaten gun owners’ Second Amendment rights. No, no. According to Nancy Pelosi, the ongoing investigations into the Obama Justice Department’s Fast and Furious operation are nothing more than distractions:""The California Democrat told reporters Thursday it was 'no coincidence' that Mr. Holder ... is also the official in charge of preventing voter suppression and enforcing civil rights laws." ... |

"Today, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to find Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. in contempt of Congress. Attorney General Holder has failed to provide information tied to an ongoing investigation into the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious gunwalking investigation. Representative Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25), a member of the committee, released the following statement regarding the vote:"

"Assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun (R,C,I-Blooming Grove) voted Tuesday against passage of Assembly Bill 1157-B, which would mandate the practice commonly known as “microstamping” on handgun manufacturers in the state. This legislation would force this costly technology on gun manufacturers and make New York the only state to mandate the technology."
"'Microstamping is a technology in which a tiny imprint is etched onto the firing pin of a semi-automatic pistol. Theoretically, law enforcement could then trace the gun back to the owner,' said Calhoun. 'In the vast majority of crimes committed with handguns, the guns are obtained illegally and are, therefore, untraceable.'" ... |

Bill Author: Senator Leland Yee, D-San Francisco senator.yee@senate.ca.gov"
"SB 249, introduced by Senator Yee, began its travel through the legislative process this year as an agricultural bill. On May 22, after the time for introduction of new bills had passed, SB 249 was fully gutted and amended into a bill that now proposes to restrict magazine release components in semi-auto firearms. The bill suddenly changed into its new form following a CBS news story focusing on some semi-automatic firearms." ... |

"A 42-year-old Bluffdale man has been charged with negligent homicide [emphasis added] after police say he handed his intoxicated wife a gun, and she shot herself." ...
"His wife, who police say was intoxicated on alcohol and drugs, asked to see the rifle, and Langford handed it to her. She placed the barrel of the gun in her mouth, according to police, and pulled the trigger. She died at the home." ...

Submitter's note: "HOMICIDE" huh. Wow. Since she's dead and prosecutors can't get at her, government has to ruin someone's life among the living, even the man who lost his wife. I just wonder if they'd charge a widow if the situation were reversed. |
