You can’t negotiate with them. You can’t understand them. We can only defeat them.

2 dead, 5 wounded in shooting at Lake Sammamish St. Park
ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Two gunman opened fire at Lake Sammamish State Park Saturday evening, killing two people and wounding five others, a Washington State Patrol spokesman said.
Let’s talk about major and minor calibers
15 June 2010The 39-year-old victim was walking down the street when he realized he had been shot. The bullet knocked a tooth out, but did not penetrate the man’s mouth and he was able to spit the bullet out, Kubiak said.
I’m guessing 25ACP.
It was unclear what caliber weapon was used in the shooting.
Oh wait, Chicago? The gun-free wonderland? Must be magical fairy bullets; perhaps Cupid bought a Raven.
Are cameras the new guns?
3 June 2010No. You clearly have more rights with guns; cameras aren’t enumerated in the constitution.
Try pointing a camera at a cop; try pointing a gun at a cop. Judge, by inspection of the response, if they are treated the same.
What is a kid?
24 May 2010The researchers analyzed data on nearly 24,000 gun-related deaths among children 19 and younger from 1999 through 2006.
Good of them to include adults age 18 and 19 in with the children.
Dogs bark.
4 May 2010What was up at Cav Arms?

ATFE and Richmond police teamed up to do residency checks.
22 February 2010Old news, but this is the first I’d heard of it. PDF from DoJ here.
Virginia is a “point of contact” state for background checks, so when handguns are purchased, those checks are performed by the state police. Elliott asserted that when a patron filled out paperwork at the gun show, including a state handgun purchase form and a federal Form 4473, ATF agents took the buyer’s address information while state police conducted the background checks. An officer was dispatched to the buyer’s home to confirm whether the individual actually lived at the address listed on the purchase form.
“As far as we’re concerned,” Elliott said, “it was illegal.”
Statement from Cavalry Arms
16 February 2010Dear Friends and Loyal Customers:
As you may be aware, we have been engaged in an ongoing dispute with the ATF for the past two years. While Cavalry Arms has at all times tried its best to run a lawful and honest shop, unfortunately, some regulatory compliance mistakes were made. We have now come to the point where we feel it is in our best interest to close our FFL and to cease all firearms operations. The owner of Cavalry Arms, Shawn Nealon, has elected to leave the firearms business and concentrate on firearms accessories instead. We are currently in negotiations with another company for that company to purchase the CAV-15 product line. Rest assured that any resulting purchase agreement will address the issue of providing service and support with regard to existing CAV-15 firearm products. We will continue to manufacture quality plastic components, grow our Medical products line, and work to bring new innovations to the relevant markets. Over the next several weeks we will be conducting a wind-down of our firearms manufacturing and FFL operations. Accordingly, please do not send us any firearms for repair or replacement. Instead, such issues should be addressed to the ultimate purchaser of our assets. Due to our limited personnel resources, during this transition/operation wind-down period, the final processing and shipping of firearm receivers already in our inventory will be our first priority.
We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding and anticipate that the relevant asset purchaser will begin operations in March of 2010. We sincerely thank you for your prior and ongoing support during these troubled times and look forward to better years ahead.
Thank you,
Cavalry Arms
I guess my CavArms lowers are collector’s items now. It was almost two years from the raid to this conclusion.
