As SayUncle does often, he was nice enough to link to one of my posts yesterday morning.  This particular post was on the ABC/FOX “grenade launcher” story.  (Hat tip goes to Josh for the original story idea)

I know in the past SayUncle has had a number of his posts linked to by Instapundit (a hugely popular news website).  I remember being in awe of the traffic he was getting.

The Packetman saw the post on SayUncle and forwarded my link to his contact at ABC.

I can only speculate the chain of events that occurred after that, which led to my post being picked up by Instapundit.  I definitely saw a huge spike in traffic.

10414 visitors yesterday.  That is about 7000 more visitors than an average day for this blog.

Hopefully some of those visitors keep coming back.

Thanks to EVERYONE that links up my articles on their blog.  And thank you to the people that comment.  It makes all this worthwhile.

I hope I am returning the favor with some traffic, giving credit where credit is due by referring to your blogs in turn when you post about something before anyone else in my feed reader.

My first thought was that I was on the wrong site…

Then I looked again at the URL and sure enough it was http://www.bradycampaign.org/

Did they get hacked? NOPE.. All real.

These stories I post about are getting more and more ridiculous every day! :lol:

I love that altered logo they did!  If I were Starbucks, I’d adopt that for a “National Open Carry Day” and embrace the movement with free coffee if you are carrying a gun (wishful thinking I know :P )

Check out the actual petition – HERE

These individuals who have been carrying guns into Starbucks have all the firepower of a SWAT team, and none of the law enforcement training.

If one LEGO gun can almost get a kid suspended.  That same principal would be fighting for the death penalty for a kid that brings this to school:

I count 5 mini guns alone!  Those mounted black squared off guns are likely supposed to be Browning M2 (Ma Deuce) machine guns, I see 2 of those.

The LEGO zombies don’t stand a chance!

Amazon doesn’t have the whole set, but they do have these LEGO zombie town folk.

This one comes from Staten Island, NY:

 

You have got to be kidding me? So this “zero” tolerance policy now covers micro sized LEGO guns? What a complete lack of common sense on behalf of the principal.

What’s next? A kid makes a gun with his index finger, and thumb and subsequently has to walk around in handcuffs with mitts on?

Nothing surprises me anymore…

Got this gem from Linoge at Walls of the City:

If it’s just business as usual for these states that are getting the bill passed, then why is there so much fuss?  Or is a challenge to the ATF’s assertion that you still must obey them the next thing on the agenda to be challenged?

NRA get your checkbook ready!

Miguel Caballero makes fashionable lightweight bulletproof clothing designed for the world’s elite.

A reporter from VBS.tv goes to Bogota Colombia for a tour of their factory, and gets shot with a revolver from about 1 foot away while wearing one of their jackets.

“I shoot all my employees” says Miguel.  It’s an initiation if you are an employee.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me, although some of it does look a bit bulky.  Any protection at all beats no protection, and that clothing would definitely save some lives.

Very neat stuff.
