After a previous post about San Francisco Disarming ‘The Other Guys’, it’s great to see that the San Francisco MTA waived their anti-gun policy and allowed the following ad to be ran throughout the city:

It’s amazing what the possible threat of a lawsuit can accomplish.

Cool comic stip.  Just found out about it today, definitely worth checking out.

The first episode of the Cat Shit One animated series is out, and blog reader Adam S was awesome enough to send it over for me to check out.

Here are my thoughts on it:

• The animation and physics are incredible… It’s basically like a grownups version of Toy Story, but with animals and guns.
• The camera angles in the animation are really neat as well, and really add to the viewing experience.
• Sound effects and music are top notch.
• One discrepancy I did note, is that the rabbit’s hearing protection is always at the side of their face, not where their ears are… not a big deal though.

The main rabbit character “Packy” has what looks like an m4, but it takes AK mags… a lot of people think that was a mistake, but it’s not. The rifle exists and is made by Knights Armament Company, model: KAC SR-47

Not that much happens in this 20 minute first episode, but I’m sure the story will develop more in the remaining episodes.

Have any of you guys seen it yet? If so, what did you think?

Guy 1: What did you do this weekend?

Guy 2: Oh not much, just did some shooting down by the waterfall and got drunk

Guy 1: Shooting at the waterfall?

Guy 2: Yea, I just go over to the waterfall to drink beer and shoot randomly into the bush

Guy 1: Hmm cool I guess

Awesome video, but I don’t think it is a very effective way to promote their service.

The message of the video is that “You don’t need a gun to protect your kids” from child predator scumbags. First of all, like I mentioned in previous posts I do not give a shit about the lives of murderers, rapists, child predators, etc… so saying you don’t need to shoot them, and that you should instead sign up for an email notification service that AmberWatch provides, and that will protect you kids seriously makes me ROFL.  I say shoot them all the first time they do something that makes them a danger to society.

Riddle me this… so you get an “alert” from AmberWatch which says that a man in a fake icecream truck tried to abduct 2 girls on the other side of the city where your son or daughter is.  What happens next?  Does batman work for Amberwatch? Or do you drop everything you are doing and race through traffic at 80mph frantically trying to find your kid.  All i’m saying is that their business plan seems to have some holes in it. Another big one being the fact that it appears that anyone can submit an “Event” to their website.  Is there any quality control?  The main AmberWatch foundation website says that the alerts are “Vetted And Authenticated by the AmberWatch foundation”, but I really don’t see how.  Do they know where every danger to your child is, but are just waiting for someone to lodge a complaint? I doubt it.

All that said… if I were a parent I probably would sign up for the service, but it would be supplementary to my gun… not instead of it.

One last thing… I hope no one sees that video and trys shooting dual guns in the air.  Not a great idea considering you have no idea where those bullets are ending up.

Retired Lt. Gen. Reginald Centracchio, the former head of the Rhode Island National Guard, gave 8-year-old David Morales a medal called a challenge coin during an appearance on WPRO-AM’s John DePetro show.

Centracchio said the second-grader should be thanked for recognizing veterans and soldiers.

“You did nothing wrong, and you did an outstanding job,” he said. “We can only hope that kids of your caliber will continue to defend this country.”

Centracchio also gave David a certificate that allows him to call himself a brigadier general.

Full Story – HERE

Nice!  Glad to see someone stepped up to the plate and thanked this kid.

Too bad David will probably be expelled from school now though because he now officially holds a high ranking position in the military according to the certificate he was given. I wonder if the O-7 pay comes with it?  That would buy a lot of toys.

Original post on the school’s ban of his hat – HERE

Hat Tip: PP

Providence, RI – Christan Morales said her son David just wanted to honor American troops when he wore a hat to school decorated with an American flag and small plastic Army figures.

But the school banned the hat because it ran afoul of the district’s zero-tolerance weapons policy. Why? The toy soldiers were carrying tiny guns.

Stories like this just give me a headache. I can’t believe the collective amount of time this incident seems to have already wasted for everyone involved.

Why do some people feel it is alright to make kids feel like crap over something so trivial. Poor guy.

Linoge investigates the common assertion – HERE

I still don’t know what to think.  There are so many external variables involved when you’re dealing with guns and people, that I don’t like to be like the anti gun nuts (and the NRA on at least on occasion) and make statements about the correlation between guns and crime just to further promote my own views.

Skip to 3:05 min for the story. Alex Jones is so dramatic… funny as hell though.  It wouldn’t surprise me if the audio recordings exactly mirrored his imitation of her. He brings up a lot of great points about guns and the irrational fear of guns in this video.

Jessica Biel on the training she recieved for the new A-Team movie:

“I had this really sexy 9-millimeter Beretta, and I trained a lot with an M4 machine gun. Before, I felt very scared of guns. But you learn about them and then you feel capable, and it becomes an empowering experience.”

Glad to hear actors and actresses speaking up about their love for guns.  Another one I recently talked about was Ashton Kutcher.

I wonder if Justin Timberlake (Biel’s boyfriend) likes guns as well?

Behold:

What a showoff, damn that is awesome.

I guess I answered my own question I posed in the title of this article, because it appears that neither one of these are available to the public yet.

As long as it can carry a small payload of possibly a camera, beer, guns, or gun related items… put me down for one! I know some options already exist, but they are super expensive and geared more towards the military and related businesses.

According to a study conducted by Responsive Management, 34.4 million Americans went target shooting in 2009.

For comparison, 28.6 million Americans golfed (a minimum of one round) in 2008, according to the National Golf Foundation.

Full Story – HERE

I have only been golfing a couple of times, but I actually found it more stressful than a stress relief. Shooting on the other hand, even if you are terrible at it… it’s hard not to have a great time.

No word yet on the statistics of the popularity of combing guns and golf as shown in picture I used for this article.

Great advice in this infographic.  A lot more accurate than that one I posted a couple days ago.

This is the kind of thing that should be handed out to people at safety courses. Some people like myself are more visual learners, so this works a lot better than just reading some text.

The Clinton White House was absolutely convinced that pushing gun control would help it politically. … Then, in the 1994 election, we cleaned their clocks. They didn’t even see it coming. Sort of like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Like Glenn Beck, Palin also has a lot of good things to say. I’d still prefer she never be our president though.

11 Videos on YouTube from Ruger that cover the history of firearms:

• Part 1: Hand Cannons
• Part 2: The Matchlock
• Part 3: The Wheellock
• Part 4: The Flintlock
• Part 5: Percussion Weapons
• Part 6: Cartridge Guns
• Part 7: Rifling
• Part 8: Breechloaders
• Part 9: Repeating Rifles
• Part 10: Revolvers
• Part 11: Semi-Auto Pistols

Don’t worry, the videos are not at all loaded with Ruger propaganda… quite the opposite actually.

Definitely worth watching.

If you have trouble starting the video, just refresh the page or click on the video window again when the loading wheel is rotating… it seems kind of picky.
