Finland Shooting
I am amazed at the media coverage a recent shooting in Finland has produced here in the U.S.
http://news.aol.com/article/9-killed-in-finland-school-shooting/184482
Recent coverage has stated that most of his victims were women and that this guy idolized the Columbine freaks. This kid has long had deviant tendencies. In fact, he was brought into Finish police for questioning the day prior to the shooting. This follows another shooting almost a year earlier in Finland.
I listened to a radio new person make his comments about guns being bad. There are almost 2million guns in Finland and 5 million people. If guns were bad, then why aren't the other 1.7 million guns causing death and destruction? It's because guns are a tool and the person with the tool is either good or evil.
Hell, are cars bad? They must be since a Palestinian drove his car into a crowd of dozens of people in Israel earlier this week. Ban all cars, I say. Ban them all !!! If evil cars weren't on the road then people could not kill other people with them and there would be no such thing as drunk driving. Ban them all.

Another great one
Karel Krnka is a name almost no one mentions. He's a virtual unknown these days, but 100 years ago, he was as creative as Borchardt, Browning, or Maxim. Karel Krnka designed many items, including weapons. His handgun designs were prominently used in the Austrio-Hungarian Empire.
Krnka was born in Vienna, Austria. According to Ian Hogg in his book Pistols of the World, Krnka's start with guns came about due to the fact that his father was also a well known gun designer. Krnka is often associated with Bohemia, which is part of the Czech Republic today, bordering Germany. Krnka had first hand gun training and experience; he was in the Austrio-Hungary Army infantry. Krnka developed a series a rifles prior to becoming the Chief Designer for the Gatling Arms and Ammunition Company then Manager of the Roth Cartridge Company. Roth was a major player in the small arms market in the early part of the 20th Century.
Krnka also worked for Austrian cartridge company Hirtenburg before joining CZ (Ceskoslovenska Zbrojovka). He worked for, with, and allied himself with such early luminaries of the early gun designing world as Roth, Sauer, Frommer, and Steyr.
One of Krnka's early "trademarks" was the long recoil action in pistols. Per Iam Hogg, "The barrel and bolt recoiled together across the top of the magazine; the bolt then opened by rotation and held while the barrel ran forward alone. The bolt released as the barrel came to rest, running forward to chamber a fresh round and then rotated into its locked position." Krnka's designed usually incorporated a built in magazine which was non-removable and was fed by a charger through an open bolt. This is similar to Mannlicher style rifles.
Many of Georg Roth's famous pistols were desinged by Krnka. The Roth-Steyr, for example, was the main sidearm of the Austrio-Hungarian empire and ended up as an official sidearm of the Italian Army until World War 2. This pistol was the first automatic pistol adopted by a major military.
He designed revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, single shot rifles, bolt action rifles, and even automatic rifles. Krnka left is mark on the early arms of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Much of his work has been used in later designs and some of that work lives on in today's arm, in spite of the fact that his name has been almost forgotten.

D.C. Yeah !

Well, it appears that Congress is forcing D.C. to actually obey the Laws of the Land, specifically the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Even after the Supreme Court gave it's decision, D.C. rewrote it's laws to barely allow gun ownership, violating the 2nd Amendment and the Supreme Courts decision.
Finally, Congress has done something correct.

When I stop laughing

When I stop laughing...i mean Coca Cola shooting from my nose, tears streaming from my eyes laughing, I will make some comments on the ineptitude of the BATF...Yes the same BATF that goes after people and gun stores for not properly tracking weapons via paperwork or losing them outright losing dozens upon dozens of guns !!!
Let's raid the BATF like they raid law abiding businesses. Well, that's what we get for having created an unsupervised government bureaucracy.
