Why doesnt every gun automatically indicate whether there's a bullet in the chamber?
— davidfrum (@davidfrum) February 18, 2013
I pointed out on Twitter that David Frum isn't repected by either Democrats or Republicans. He was involved in the Bush administration, but he'll never get another job with a Republican administration. The Dems won't take him because people like him are a dime a dozen.
All he has left is trolling.
BTW, my response.
@davidfrum Why doesnt every David Frum column automatically indicate that it doesn't contain any new content or ideas?

It's sort of self identifying.
Similar to when I see and article by Paul Krugman or David Brooks.
I don't have to read the article to know that a) I won't agree with most or anything that they have to say. b) they'll be smug and snarky c) they will have written it as if they're the final word.
And of course anything that reports what Mr. McCain has mumbled makes me think to myself "what has he given away/surrendered to a Democrat Liberal today?"
Now we know why Meggie Mac is the intellectual star that she is.

Yes, but, the investigations by Jayna Davis point to some real unanswered questions regarding the OKC bombing. Do not forget that Clinton wanted the investigations wrapped up quickly and cleanly with McVeigh and Nichols being the only perpetrators. No one ever explained how they got the money for their exploits or McVeigh's ties to Islamists in the Phillipines. I am by no means a conspiracy theorist, but, there are nagging questions.
BTW, I finally made a visit to the memorial at the beginning of the month and it is well worth a visit.

Actually LG or someone was working a fridge that did exactly this. It had a little display screen and I think used RFID chips or something. The idea was you could see what you were low on and order directly from the screen.
I know you were joking, but still, awesome technology.
Frum, still and idiot though. (I treat every fridge as empty of beer when I'm at the store.)

During hunter's ed, they tell you a story that I've always wondered if it was apocrypha or not. The general gist of it is, guy has a rife with an under-barrel magazine (not unlike a shotgun.) He cleans it out, removes the bullets from the chamber and what he thinks is all the bullets from the magazine.
However, one was caught up near the top of the tube. Some time later, he's screwing (adjusting the trigger or something) with the gun, and it goes off (as the bullet has become dislodged and thus loaded the gun.
I've always wondered if this was possible, or just some scare story. Either way, it makes the point everyone here is making. Any gun=loaded (unless completely disassembled on my cleaning table.)

Yup. But that handy little feature or the ridiculous lawer features on other models is no substitute for ALWAYS assuming the ammo fairy has paid you a visit. Drop the mag, work the slide, visually inspect the chamber. Or, if you want to check that you ARE loaded, do a press check.
Not that a douchecanoe like Frum is the least bit interested in learning any of this yucky NRA stuff.

I've run across this argument before.
I can see your point but when it's a casual comment or even the stupid point of a vacuous article by an even larger empty volume, it's okay to allow a little slack.
If Frum (or any one else for that matter ) was a firearms expert or testifying as one, then I'd be concerned at the lack of exactitude in their terminology.
Otherwise, if you understand what they mean then let it slide. Like how you let typos and bad grammar go unless it's over 50% of the comment/article.

With that disclaimer, I did think Frum had a point a week or so ago when he stated that Obama's gun control histrionics were primarily designed to get Republicans to react in such a manner as to alienate women. I don't have it handy today but I provided the Frum quote in a comment here last week.

But they are expensive as hell because they are commercial grade meaning that they cost twice as much with no added durability.

I know someone who has one of those. The problem is your fridge gets messy, and then it looks bad when you have company. (Also the window fogs a lot.)
I think at those prices they should install the variable tinting glass, so you can darken it when company comes over and turn transparent when you want to check what's in it. (Patent pending
!)

After dismissing the citizen's right to redress grievances, McCarthy focused on the 2nd Amendment. Despite recent court decisions to the contrary, McCarthy opined that the 2nd Amendment limits citizens to owning smooth-bore muskets. McCarthy went on to say that he believes the 2nd Amendment supports mandatory liability insurance for firearm owners and the mandatory application of GPS tracking devices to civilian owned firearms.

Or be lazy, most places like Autozone go ahead and install car batteries for free. (The Chevy Aveo's battery is in a really tight spot, meaning my tools don't fit the to the damn connects, so I usually end up having to borrow autozone's tools anyway, rather than buying a damned socket wrench just for my car battery.)

"Not to mention the Ruger MkIII. Which has a reputation for blowing the LCI out the side of the frame. Might be an unfair rep, but that's one of the reasons I went with a used MkII."
Is that the LCI that physically indexes off of the RIM of a rimfire cartridge? If so, brilliant. Just brilliant.

It's a convenience feature, and should be viewed as nothing more. All it does is to provide an easier way of checking the chamber than pulling back the slide.
It's not there to tell you it's safe, but to tell you it's loaded.

LOL, the terminal connection for my F-150 were like that. I bought a new battery and went to take the old one out and realized I didn't have a tool for the connections.
I went back to the parts store and asked what kind of tool it needed. the guy went to a rack and gave me a new pair of clamps and said all you need to is to cut the crap off and put these on.
Haven't had a problem since.

If you don't want to quit and join a different org. You'll have to block them.
They're more relentless than AARP. (which you probably wouldn't know)
They'll still spam you after you quit too. Until you do like I did and started replying back in uncivilized tones. I also would send back their stuff that came in snail mail so they'd have to pay for that too.
I tried to be nice at first but nice doesn't work with some.

My problem is that the damned battery hold bar (or whatever it's called) has a bolt that comes out right next to something (I think it's the washer fluid). So I end up needing a long socket wrench with a 90 degree extender on it to come at it from the opposite direction. (or something, I forget I haven't replaced the damned battery in like 4 years.)
I've done it myself before, but the car died on the way to a friends house (who has more tools than I do.) so we jumped it and went there rather than back to my place anyway. I sprung for a little nicer battery (with a 7 year warranty) this time, so I don't really expect problems again. (Also, I now have a garage.)

Open thread, but gun related. "Justified" on TV has much less with guns this season, less of Deputy US Marshall Givens. Lots more about basically a bunch of low-life criminals.

The issue, though is that no amount of technological sophistication can overcome basic human stupidity.
If you're going to handle a gun in an unsafe manner, no chamber loaded indicator is going to stop you because you're going to ignore it (the same way you ignore all the gun safety rules).
Chamber loaded indicators can be helpful to tell if your gun is or isn't loaded in the dark, or without having to take your eyes off of something ELSE you're watching, but they can never stop people from being stupid, drunk, or irresponsible.
More to the point, they do absolutely ZERO to deter crime, since presumably criminals are still going to load their guns!
So
Guess that's too har dforDuh.

RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

Section 16.03 is labeled Tamper Resistant Serial Numbers, stating that a handgun purveyor may not offer to transfer a handgun if the serial number is susceptible to eradication.
Section 16.04, “Sale of Handguns Made From Inferior Materials” sets both a performance test and a material composition test. However, the materials composition test does not apply if the handgun meets the Make and Model Performance Requirements.
Section 16.05 “Sale of Handguns Without Childproofing or
Safety Devices” requires that all handguns sold have a safety device, contain
a mechanism which precludes an average five year old from operating the handgun,
and requires all semi-automatic handguns to contain a load indicator or magazine
safety disconnect.
So not only is David Frum correct, his vision is actually the law in MA. It means that handgun design needs to meet certain standards. In the long run, you will see all new handguns made this way since the liability of not following this law, even in other states, will be high, and the changes are cheap.
I don't agree with David on much, but in this case, his question is accurate.
