Well, That Was Stupid

Apparently, some dude from New Zealand came to the United States to confront a 14 year old girl he had met online. He picked up a knife, pepper spray, and a roll of duct tape on the way. The momma had other ideas and shot him in the neck. He survived, but I don't think he'll be going home anytime soon. Note to foreigners with ill intent. This is the U.S.. We got guns. We got lots of guns.

Conflict by Walt Socha

An employee at a dude ranch saves a girl from a club wielding warrior. When he and some friends decide to take her home, they find themselves one thousand years in the past facing down a war chief intent on building his own little empire. I'd say it was better than average and I liked it. I already have the sequel. Recommended.

What I've Been Watching

I been watching mostly anime. Something about the product out of Hollywood just doesn't appeal. Still working on Naruto. I'll watch a few episodes then take a break. Gun Gale Online and Katana Maidens are still ongoing and I still enjoy them. The new titles are Bungo Stray Dogs, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Mob Psycho 100. The Crunchyroll subscription has paid off tenfold. Mostly though, I've been attracted to anime films lately. Napping Princess: The Story of the Unknown Me [Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari] by Kenji Kamiyama, Spriggan [Supuriga] by Hirotsugu Kawasaki, A Letter to Momo [Momo e no Tegami] by Hiroyuki Okiura, Hal [Haru] by Ryōtarō Makihara, The Sword of the Stranger [Sutorenjia Mukōhadan, Stranger Mukōhadan] by Masahiro Andō, and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya [Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu] by Tatsuya Ishihara and Yasuhiro Takemoto. Quality varies but I liked them all.

That's A Good Thing

There are more guns than people in the United States, according to a new study of global firearm ownership

I don't know the methodology used to determine these numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers aren't higher. That's a lot of guns to try to grab isn't it.

You can't give in to the Left.

They see it as a sign of weakness and move on to their next demand. You have to hold firm and tell them "No".

Can Police Arrest Person Carrying Gun Without First Checking If He's Licensed?

We hold that Penister's possession of a gun did not constitute probable cause to arrest him, as the gun possession did not support an inference that any offense had occurred. See People v. Aguilar, 2013 IL 112116, 20 (the second amendment right to bear arms extends beyond the home).

That's a win for the good guys.

The Flowers of Vashnoi by Lois McMaster Bujold

It's labelled "An Ekaterin Vorkosigan novella" and That's all you really need to know about before buying it and reading it. Miles is in it but it is about his wife. It's as good as anything else in the series which means it's really good. At four bucks it was worth every penny and more. It was over way too fast. Highly Recommended.

A Dragon Waiting by John M. Ford

I remember Ford for two well done Star Trek novels he wrote in the 80's. Back then, I picked this book up in the library but for some reason was never able to get past the first few chapters. Now I wonder why? It an alternative history with fantasy elements revolving around England's Edward the IV and Richard III. Oh, it is good. I'm sorry it took me so long to get around to it. Highly Recommended.

I'd Call It A Win

Judge temporarily blocks Deerfield assault weapons ban, which was to take effect Wednesday

Illinois has preemption. Under their preemption law firearms ordinances passed prior to it's passage were grandfathered but no new ones after. The city council i Deerfield figured they could get around preemption by amending an existing ordinance. They got sued and the judge has told Deerfield "not so fast". The order is temporary, but I expect it to become permanent. We'll see. As of now, it's a win, and I'll take that.

H/T to Sebastian.

Conquistador by S. M. Stirling

I read this when was originally published in 2003. I'm fond of pretty much anything Stirling has written. I think the first book of his I read was Marching Through Georgia. In Conquistador, a wounded veteran of the Pacific War comes home and discovers a portal to a parallel Earth were North America was never colonized. He gathers his war buddies and they correct that and then agree to keep the secret by whatever means necessary. Sixty-three years later they and their heirs are still keeping that secret, and there the story begins. It's typical Stirling and highly recommended.

The Mad Lancers by Brian McClellan

This is a prequel novella to McClellan's Sins of Empire. He gives us the origin of Ben Stryke and the Mad Lancers. It is as good as anything else McClellan has written and that's pretty damn good. Again, highly recommended.

NC Gun Roster Being Sold As Preventing Faulty Weapons

The California gun roster is nothing but pure gun control. It bans guns based on features that have no effect on the safety of the weapon unless you consider a functional firearm unsafe in and of itself. The sponsors of the North Carolina bill that seeks to adopt California's roster wholesale are trying to sell it as a measure to test firearms to make sure they are safe. It's not about safety, it's about incremental gun control. It's called being disingenuous. It's called lying, but that's okay as long as you are a Democrat pushing an agenda.

Gun Registration's End Game

A California farmer tried to comply with California's firearms registration requirements and ended up charged with 12 felony counts. This is the intended end game for the laws. They criminalize legal activity and the law abiding are suddenly felons. If you are a gun owner in California/New Jersey/or New York with best thing to do is vote with your feet and take you guns elsewhere. At the least, follow Sebastian's advise and consult with your attorney before even considering complying with the law.

It was recommended by a friend and I'm glad he did. A grad student's boyfriend disappears and her search for him leads into the London criminal underworld and the the unexpected. I'd call it Urban Fantasy. Good characters, plot, and world building. There were points where the pace slowed but they're few. Highly recommended.
