Cabbie SWATs Perazzi Prez [Perhaps Shown]

“Daniele Perazzi, president of the Italian Perazzi Shotguns firm, was taken into custody yesterday by Adams County Deputies along with several prototype shotguns.” examiner.com reports, apparently unaware that that particular Mr. Perazzi died last year. Perhaps Mauro Perazzi [above] is the gentlemen in question. Anyway, ”The executive was picked up in the parking lot of the Denver Merchandise Mart, hosting the high-end Colorado Gun Collectors show this weekend, after a taxi driver, likely reacting to a suspicious activity reporting outreach program conducted by law enforcement, told authorities he thought he could be transporting an armed ‘foreign speaking’ terror suspect.” To say Perazzi was not pleased would be like saying Berlusconi’s Bunga Bunga girl was a bit of a babe (until botox and airbags) . . .

Joe Biden Waves the Bloody Bib

Vice President Joe Biden has an audio blog called Being Biden. (I swear I didn’t make that up.) In this week’s installment, the Veep reads comments from North Philadelphia third graders writing about “gun violence.” While it’s good to know that the Pennsylvania public education system is busy indoctrinating children on the importance of civilian disarmament (and not in a good way), “Double Barrel” Joe fails to answer their questions. In the interests of education, because it might save one child from becoming a gun control advocate, I’ll have a go . . .

Maryland Bans 81 Guns by Name

YouTube Preview Image

washingtontimes.com‘s Emily Miller provides a list of the 81 guns banned by the Maryland legislature in the bill Governor O’Malley signed last Thursday. “The list makes it obvious that Mr. O’Malley does not understand how firearms function,” Ms. Miller opines. “This legislation was written on emotion, not fact. Unfortunately, the good citizens of Maryland will have their Second Amendment rights infringed upon by this ambitious, term-limited governor.” Ya think? List after the jump . . .

Alex Byron’s Noobs’ Guide to Gun Shows

== Before you go ==

Dress right

What’s the weather going to be? Is the show indoors or outdoors? If indoors, is it air conditioned (i.e. comfortable or cool) or not (i.e. warm or hot and stuffy)? If it is outdoors, take appropriate items such as a hat, sunscreen, etc. Wear appropriate clothing that will keep you comfortable. This includes a good pair of shoes because you will be walking – a lot. Before you get dressed, have a shower and use some deodorant. You will be spending the day in close proximity of a lot of people. This is not the time to be stinky . . .

S.E. Cupp vs. Michael Moore and Bil Maher. Oh Wait. Not Bill Maher

YouTube Preview Image

I don’t mind the parade of progressive anti-pistol polemics so much as I do the audience’s reaction to their bombast. The baying reminds me that gun grabbers have support. Worse, they believe they have lots of support. That “94 percent of Americans support background checks” thing has gone straight to their head. What was it Virgil said? Possunt, quia posse videntur. They can because they think they can. Note to Moore: just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Piers Morgan: “I Was Wrong About Gun Rights Advocates’ Fears”

YouTube Preview Image

Piers Morgan’s mea culpa for his despicable treatment of gun rights advocates is despicable, draped as it is in qualifiers. Still, I think Morgan’s backtracking indicates a turning point in the way that The People of the Gun are perceived by the mainstream media. With the advent of the IRS enemies list and Associated Press phone record grab scandals, could we be looking at one of those “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” deals? Meh. With friends like this who needs enemies?
