In the tank
Go read this NY Times article. Then imagine how differently it would've been written if the President had an (R) after his name. David Brooks is swinging on Obama's nuts so bad it actually amused me.
I love it, he points out numerous examples of Obama doing or saying one thing, and then doing/saying the opposite, only he's framing it as clever, cagey etc. because a liberal democrat is doing it. Any bets on how that article would be written under say a President Palin?
I also love this little gem of falsehood,
"During the recession, the government could borrow gigantic amounts without pushing up interest rates because there was so little private borrowing."
Uhh, no. We borrowed giant amounts without pushing up interest rates because the Fed has been holding interest rates at near zero for a while now.

Oh say can you OC?
Looks like Oklahoma is finally getting with the times and allowing open carry.
Of course, leave it to Democrats in the state to resort to fearmongering, blatant sexism, and of course the proverbial bleating about "amatures" and "lack of training."
That last bit makes me laugh, since people will still need a CCW permit to open carry, meaning that the whole point about untrained yahoos would be moot even it it was a valid criticism, which it isn't.
H/T to unc.

You can take my pron but you'll never take my FREEDOM!
ZOMG the EVIL PORNOGRAPHY! It seems as though Rick Santorum has decided he has a personal vendetta against internet pornography.
Something tells me Santorum is a closet porn watcher. I'm guessing bestiality and midget porn. :P
This is why we call the Republican Party the Stupid Party. They're up against one of the worst Presidents in modern history. This election should be a slam dunk for them, so what do they do? They put up the most boring, vanilla, magoo person possible, who also happens to be the RINO mirror image of Obama when it comes to policy matters. Then their 2nd best hope is an authoritarian "Jesus freak" who is no better than your average liberal when it comes to restricting individual liberty.
I'm tempted to just write in "We're Screwed" come election day. I don't know that there's anyway to fix this country.
There are only trivial differences between the parties, and no one wants to address, or even talk about the real problems. Even if that did occur the people who most need to hear it would be unwilling to listen and likely unable to comprehend.
The majority of voters in this country have been so indoctrinated against reason and logic that even where we can make a dent and allow some of it to soak in the establishment is churning out 10 "useful idiots" for every former liberal or compassionate conservative we turn.
People want their bread and circuses. They want their "free" stuff, and they want to remain blissfully uninformed. The liberal media and education system work to maintain that as the status quo. Now, we're badly outgunned and outnumbered, and we're seeing the results of that firsthand.
Sigh.

I defer to Tam
Sometimes someone comes along and writes exactly what you're thinking. I had a post started saying pretty much exactly what Tam touched on here. Frankly I think Tam said it better than I would have anyway.
Anyone who doesn't think inflation is occurring, or that it isn't the result of the moronic monetary policy of the Fed and the Obama administration is probably beyond help at this point. They're also likely to be Obama voters come election time.

A Right Delayed
Is a right denied, as Martin Luther King Jr. so eloquently put it.
This kind of BS from the Maryland State Police is a prime example of why it's so dangerous to license Constitutional rights. In doing so we've flipped the basic tenets of our Constitutional protections. Sadly so many people (and many of my fellow gun owners) are all too happy to support the CCW licensing regime as a good thing instead of recognizing it for what it is, a basic infringement upon individual liberty. But I digress....
Need a government issued form or fingerprints taken before you can beg permission to exercise your rights? We'll just stop taking fingerprints at all 23 MSP locations. Or maybe, like Mass., run out of the required transfer forms.
Delaware isn't good with this either. Only one or two locations in NCC do fingerprinting and their hours are limited. They're also done by appointment only. That's fine if you can just take off work whenever, but what if you're a single mother working two jobs, or a 25 year old man working two jobs to provide for an elderly parent?
Require something as simple and innocuous as a valid form of state ID for voting? INFRINGEMENT! RACIST! DISCRIMINATION! Require huge fees, fingerprinting, day long "training" classes to exercise a right in the original Bill of Rights? Oh, that's just "common sense" and all of you gun owners should just quit your bitching already. Sigh.

Magnum Research PPQ mags
As far as I can tell the Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagle Mags are basically just Mec-Gar knockoffs of the Walther branded OEM mags.
I haven't actually used them yet but they appear to feed just like stock mags and all 3 drop free just like OEM.
The Walther mags are manufactured by Mec-Gar by the way.

Hippies
Today was a beautiful day, so I decided to pickup Zack and walk through the neighborhood to the park.
What do I see? A horde of hippies on the street in front of me coming my way. Yes, one of them was even standing next to the stop sign at the end of my parents street playing guitar.
As usual there was no reaction to the P229R on my hip. See, not even dirty hippies run away screaming and call the cops when you open carry! Take that Sarah Brady!
They were looking for the mason-Dixon trail and were lost. It turns out that if they'd gone maybe half a mile up the street they'd have found their way, but I had no idea and couldn't help em.
This is what I was carrying. RTT back from CCR

Just Awesome
I may have mentioned Ben Comen on this blog before, but I'm not sure. I might have written about him back before I started Another Gun Blog
I'll just leave you with this video. Happy Friday!

Delaware Liberals in denial on guns
Anti-gun liberals, both here in Delaware and nationwide will continue to claim that gun ownership is declining. The reality of course is that this is completely false, but they must propagate the myth in order to maintain their belief system.
Gun ownership, gun rights, and the mainstreaming of the pro-gun culture has exploded of late. We are in a far better place than we were 15-20 years ago. The anti-gun liberals in my state are divorced from reality and cannot accept it, and so all they can do is stick their heads in the sand.
Meanwhile, more and more people are buying guns and CCW among women is steadily increasing. Hell, NICS checks for gun sales hit an all time record this past Black Friday and the past several years have all seen record buying levels. The anti-gun bigots are in denial because they're losing. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.

More Sig P6's
It looks like Widener's has some Sig P6's for sale. Under $400 with 2 mags and a holster. I still think the P6 is a great bargain if you like single stack 9's and are OK with the fact that the P6 is big given its capacity.
Hell, a P6 was my first gun and it's still the gun I CCW most often. I'd buy another if I didn't already have too many guns.

Brilliant Idea
I mean, what could possibly go wrong with making sure everyone with a high school diploma gets a "virtually free" college education?
It almost as if they want to ensure that college degrees become virtually worthless.

Quote of the day - Maryland CCW
"A citizen may not be required to offer a "good and substantial reason" why he should be permitted to exercise his rights. The right‘s existence is all the reason he needs."
- Judge Benson Everett Legg - USDC (pdf warning)
"The right's existence is all the reason he needs." Damn straight. This is something us freedom loving gunnies have been saying for years.
Given that MD just got bitchslapped here I can't help but hope that Delaware is next. We are one of only a handful of states who still have discretionary "may issue" permits. Sure, we're not like Maryland where the standard practice is to deny all permit applications, but we still have faceless bureaucrats who can deny a person a permit for whatever reason they see fit.

What's this silliness?
I bought some Magnum Research mags which are supposed to work in the Walther PPQ.
They're shipped from the Kahr factory in Worcester, MA.
I'm guessing this ridiculous bright orange warning sticker is a Massachusetts thing? Now I'm going to have to use Goo-Gone on my mags.

Meh
Sorry folks, I just haven't been in the mood to blog lately at all....
School has been going well. I've got A's in both classes, which is hard to believe given my grades my last two semesters at UD. It's funny how you do well when your heads in the right place and you actually care.
My new robot eyes seem to have settled in at 20/15 and 20/20 with zero issues. Im not even using any drops!
I keep getting compliments on how much better I look without glasses. Personally, I remain skeptical.
Word has it that while the range was closed for renovations they found several additional problems that needed fixing. Still, the new range should be nicer. I hear it'll have an air filtration system.
That's all I've got.
