Snowflakes in Hell

More from Dave Kopel, an interview with Joe Olsen of Academics for the Second Amendment.  They talk about ASA’s amicus brief filed in the Heller case.

Dave Kopel is asking for some help in figuring out where gun dealers would be excluded from under Obama’s five mile radius plan.  Here’s one example using King County Washington.

UPDATE: Bitter did her home town in rural Oklahoma.  She had to give up on Northern Virginia, because there’s just too many intersecting circles.   I suspect most places along the east coast are going to be Obama Gun Sales Exclusion Zone.

Clayton Cramer surmises that Obama the Socialist Messiah may be George McGovern reincarnated:

The only good thing about being old is that you get to say, “I’ve seen this idiocy before!” It is increasingly apparent that the Democrats are planning to reprise the 1972 election–with a Republican that many Republicans didn’t like, because he wasn’t very conservative (the 55 mph national speed limit, wage and price controls) running against a very liberal Democrat that talked a lot about idealism.

Read the whole thing.  I don’t remember the 1972 presidential election, because I wasn’t born until two years later at the height of the Watergate scandal.

Were McGovern people cheering his nasal secretions too?

Bitter really stirred the pot with some snark about VCDL on the National Park Carry issue.  Sailorcurt took very strong exception to what he perceives is an unfair attack on VCDL.  Bitter responded on her own blog, and some folks brought the conflagration over here too.

Sailorcurt’s problem with me seems to be that I defended her actions.  I might be more willing to suggest her snark is in poor taste if I hadn’t seen her to do it just about every other pro-gun group out there, and had she not ripped NRA for web site crapitude two days before.  It’s her blogging style, and I’m certianly not going to tell her “Well hon, you can take snarky cheap shots at every other gun group, but you always have to be nice to VCDL.”  Bitter’s blog persona is snarky and bitchy, which you might expect from the title of her blog, and based on her moniker.

Besides, no one is questioning VCDL’s worth as an organization.  All three of us have stated that they are a top notch state level grass roots organization.  I would argue a standard by which other state level organizations should be measured.  I think people are overreacting to this whole thing, to be honest.  If Curt wants to think Bitter, Countertop and I are elitist, well, that’s his perogative.  I do hope that all this will blow over, and we can all be friends again.

Looks like they’ve updated their Board of Directors page, and what do you know, the good Professor isn’t on it.  One has to wonder whether he was quietly uninvited.  Perhaps Alex T. Riley has been abducted by aliens.

Hat tip to Armed and Safe and War on Guns for noticing the update.

So here I am on a Saturday night, and Bitter is no where in sight.  You all know what this means.  It’s time to buy a gun!  I have my eye on one.  This one is from the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

What do you think? Click on the picture for more detail.  I think that would be a great rifle for doing open sight silhouette. What do you all think? If I decide this is the gun, I’ll drop the order form in the mail on Monday.

UPDATE: It’s a Kimber Model 82.  You can read about them here.
