Good morning.
- Of COIN and Koran.
- Boom.
- Guns. Here and here. As a recent purchaser of firearms myself, I’d note I got two .22s because the .22LR costs about 3.5 cents a round instead of 50 … and all the books all say you need to fire thousands or rounds to get familiar and accurate. The 22 is affordable.
- Yah think?
- I thought Thomas was the die hard originalist not the whole court.
- Odd crossword word.
- How to burn your phone.
- Why do no people wonder about the reverse that “protected” race based and gender based groups can be led by those they’d wish to exclude?
- Love and sand.
- Well, as an ex-protestant and non-Anglo Saxon … I suppose I should applaud (and yes, I remain white). 🙂
- Mr Obama’s rights record.
- Mr Krugman, here and here.

~28 cents/round for .40SW at Walmart. When I purchased my first pistol (a Glock .40SW), I was going to get a similar .22 such as the Ruger – mainly for the cost issue. However, being new to firearms, I decided against a different make simply because I wanted to be completely familiar with my primary weapon. One option I may still go with, is that of a .22LR conversion slide/barrel that can be used on the Glock pistol frame. Using that, I can fire the cheaper rounds from the frame I’m accustomed to. BTW, one can acquire muscle-memory, regarding trigger pull and flinching, by dry-firing the pistol – just make a triple check that the gun is empty, all ammunition is locked up, and the gun is pointed in a safe direction (always).
