Councilwoman arrested on gun charge

NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov made news recently when she obtained her pistol license.

Vernikov, who is Jewish, was spotted openly carrying a pistol outside a pro-Hamas rally and has since turned herself in to police.

This is the most pro-gun display I can ever recall seeing from an elected official in the state and while I think it is a step forward, it is still lacking.

Gov. Hochul has already chimed in:

Next, I predict Republicans are going to throw her under the bus.

GuardTech Plus product review

GuardTech Plus sent me a couple of their products for review, their Universal Gun Cleaning Kit and .223/5.56 Gun Cleaning Kit.

The Universal Gun Cleaning Kit come with an extensive assortment of tips, jags, mops, bristles and brushes which work with the included brass rods, all in a hard plastic carrying case. Also included is a .35 caliber pull string. It has everything you need to clean guns from .17 to .50 in a nice, neat package. It even comes with several picks to work out crud that accumulates where the other tools won’t reach.

As the name implies the .223/5.56 Gun Cleaning Kit is meant for .22 caliber firearms with up to a 30” barrel. It comes with an appropriate rod, tip, jap, mop, brush and a pull string all in a smaller plastic case.

While I personally prefer using pull strings, the brass rods will get the job done. All in all, GuardTech Plus is selling quality products at a decent price.

Thomas agrees to hearing on ammo BGCs

After Sonia Sotomayor declined to hear a challenge to the ammunition background check, Clarence Thomas has agreed to a conference hearing on the matter on October 6.

The Governor is not happy:

I am inclined to think that SCOTUS will let this play out for awhile longer, but if they did intervene I wouldn’t be totally surprised either.
