Gun & Crime LinkSwarm for November 20, 2013

We interrupt our continuing series on the failures of ObamaCare to bring you a dollop of gun- and crime-related news:

  • It takes a special kind of super-genius to threaten to shoot gun-rights activists.
  • Though that does give me a chance to bring up the Recall Hudak Too campaign, to recall another gun-grabbing Colorado state senator.
  • San Francisco magazine ban challanged in court. (Hat tip: Alphecca.)
  • Requiring liability insurance for gun owners appears to be dead for now.
  • World’s first 3D printed metal gun. And they’re in Austin!
  • Meet Monticello, NY Mayor Gordon Jenkins. He’s a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He’s also been arrested for DWI and hitting a cop. Funny how so many people in favor of “gun control” can’t seem to practice self-control.
  • Another dead goblin.
  • Speaking of dead goblins: Armed homeowner gets the drop on intruder by pretending to be deaf and blind. Only problem with the story is that some details don’t match up: “The intruder lowered his weapon for a moment — long enough for Carlson to grab his own loaded Glock 9mm handgun.” Then: “‘I’ve never had my revolver out of my pocket in 50-some odd years,’ Carlson said by phone Friday evening.” To the best of my knowledge, Glock doesn’t make any revolvers, much less a 9mm. (There are 9mm revolvers, but they’re not particularly common.) Possibly the owner was speaking with colloquial inaccuracy, or was misquoted.
  • In Pierce County, Washington, an armed homeowner killed an intruder who drove his car through a metal gate, then broke into his house. Not exactly the perfect stealthy crime…
  • “Drunk Florida Man Tries to Use Taco as ID After His Car Catches Fire.”
  • Uh…noted without comment:
