Saturday Info Dump

First off, mixed news from Colt.  They’re bringing back the New Frontier, but it appears they’ve “modernized” it a bit.

Maybe it’s just a typo.  Still, I imagine a few folks out there are punching their monitors and spewing down the gun forums with the Fanboy Firehose of Indignation.

For April Fool’s Day, I propose an advertisement promising a reintroduction of the All American.

A second source of vitriol comes in the form of yet another Chuck Schumer gun bill.  This one is called the “Fix Gun Checks Act of 2011.”  So far, he’s only managed to con Kirsten Gillebrand and John Kerry into cosponsoring it.  It’s going to the Senate Judiciary committee, where I’ve little doubt Grassley and Coburn will eviscerate it like two-week starved hyenas.

Really, why would he even bother in this climate?  The only explanation (beyond utter barking madness) I can surmise is that the President wants him to be the errand-boy for a dry run on gun control proposals.  In this legislature, that’s like sending someone to storm the Somme with a Tec-9.

Both scenarios are mildly amusing and utterly futile.
