DC claims that it lost all the finger prints of everyone who has registered their guns in DC. Emily Miller has the story available here.

Wishin’ And Hopin’
Being on minimal disability, I cannot afford to ‘do much’.
This is not a bleg for money (although your kind generosity IS appreciated), but rather an observation. An expression of lust.
Regular readers know I’ve a beater car, that sometime runs w/o dashboard warning lights on. Or not. With no A/C. In AZ. I rent a room from a good friend, because I lost my home of 18 years due to my reduction in income on disability.
Yes, I’m fortunate and grateful! Seriously.
And, the Internet and television are my portals to the outside world. Women (did I say I’m single divorced?), guns, cars. All for my viewing pleasure.
Only.
And I’m generally okay with this arrangement.
But today, something caught my attention. No, not a vehicle. Not a woman (surprised?)
But THIS:
I’ve always wanted a Texas Border rig, such as this. With an appropriate BBQ gun – I’m certain Sheriff Jim Wilson doesn’t want to part with his (above), though.
Of course, this is wrong-sided.
I’ve no place to wear it, anyway (would probably sell it to get the A/C in my car repaired!)
Sigh.
D’UH! (How DOES One Say D’UH in Hebrew?)
One of Europe’s most prominent Jewish organizations is petitioning the European Union to pass new legislation that would permit Jewish community members to carry guns “for the essential protection of their communities,” according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Sadly, a leader in the European Jewish community NAMED COOPER (ironically), disagrees.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said that while guns could help Jews defend themselves against an individual attack, only authorities can protect them against a mass attack like those carried out in France.
“As to personally being armed, such a move could help when a Jewish person is threatened by thugs, but won’t help if G-d forbid, Charlie-type terror attacks are launched,” Cooper said.
And, of course, the ever more anti-Semitic Europe will continue to debate this, while not only the Jewish community, but most Europeans, are unable to defend themselves against crime or terror.
Except, of course, the Swiss!
While France, in response to the recent attacks, pushes for MORE gun control laws!
D’UH, indeed.

HOW Does One Say That, Again?
The Firearms Blog just advised me I’ve been saying at least SOME of these names incorrectly. Some, I have gotten correct.
Where do YOU stand? Or do you care?
I used to say Heckler and 
so as not to offend some folks!
I was in error.
Of course, I knew a guy years ago who pronounced another brand SMITH AND WESTERN! :-)
Because They Don’t Make A .46 (?)
The Duck muses she might be a Russian anti-aircraft gun(?)
All I know is I want one…

“What’s YOUR Sign? I’m NOT A Taurus!”
The Taurus Curve
Both Jennifer and Caleb trounce this newcomer .380 as poorly-thought-out and inherently unsafe. She is striker-fired, and designed (recommended by the factory!) to be carried in the pocket sans holster!
Can we say an accident waiting to happen? Sure we can!
Not to mention (but, going ahead and mentioning it, anyway) WHAT ABOUT WE LEFT-HANDERS?!
I suggest, if their going to do such a thing, it should be at least in a larger caliber (9mm? .45 ACP?) AND have a graphene frame, so it can curve either direction!!!
For the record, I was never a big fan of Taurus, although they used to have a no-nonsense replacement factory warranty(?) Might still. Never owned one. And, I’m a Sagittarian. :-)

O…M…G…!
THIS is why we’re winning the argument, and they are looking unscientific, at best!

Bill Whittle’s latest Afterburner…
Being a conservative libertarian (and a fan of Kevin Baker), I found this of interest.

I Know Where They Are!
They’re with the missing IRS emails! :-)
DC forcing people to reregister and re-finger print gun owners, new fees
I’m reminded of the old ‘Lost Our Lease’ sales of yesteryear. A big window banner says Lost Our Lease. The small print says ‘it was in the top drawer of the desk, yesterday!’
Particularly nice, not only are they ‘required’ to re-register, but they get to pay the fees again. Inefficient AND punitive!
Government at it’s best!

Now HERE’S Computerized Eyewear I Can Get Behind!
(Of course, I cannot come close to affording a Google Glass, much less a TrackingPoint rifle and THIS! – Guffaw)

TrackingPoint Releases ‘Shotglass’
A real must for the millionaires who already own the TrackingPoint rifle, now there’s some cool shades to go with it:
You can shoot from completely protected positions behind trees or around corners when it’s necessary to remain unexposed to the target.
ShotGlass can record everything you see and say. You don’t need to clamp a GoPro® to your hat anymore. ShotGlass videos download directly to your smart phone for sharing with friends, family, and social media.
Friends or family can wear ShotGlass while you are shooting. They can see exactly what you see, and share your experience. A father can mentor his son by guiding him to the proper whitetail. A professional hunter sees exactly what target his client is engaging and can direct the client to the desired target and point of impact. In battle, a spotter wears ShotGlass to direct his sniper to the target in real-time under high stress.
