Apparently TDI has produced a civilian legal semi-automatic version of their KRISS 45 Carbine. Quite a futuristic looking firearm, which supposedly reduces muzzle climb by 95% for the .45 ACP cartridge. You’ll recognize that as quite a feat if you’ve ever tried to keep a 1911 or even a Thompson level in rapid fire. ImpactGuns is sold out, but there’s always the waiting list.

The rhetoric is certainly heating up in this race. Just look at this speech from populist John Edwards:
For those of us for whom summer is not a verb, for those of us who didn’t go to fancy boarding schools on the east coast, for those of us who didn’t grow up with a silver spoon, who were lucky to have a spoon — ask those folks and they’ll tell you the economy is not doing well for them,
Oh wait, that was Mike Huckabee. To pile on Lee’s Huck posting, I thought I’d take a look at the other side of what I think is our general dislike of Mike Huckabee. And I don’t mean to speak for others here, but I think we’d agree on this. As others have pointed out, Huckabee has taken some decidedly non-conservative (and non-libertarian) positions. With his support for a federal smoking ban just throwing the 10th amendment and federalism out the window, I really can’t trust him to not do the same for banning abortion, banning same sex marriage, mandating the teaching of evolution and his other positions. With a candidate who believes in federalism, at least I can expect them to not try to nationalize their pet moral issues.
BTW, I think it’s worth voting for Fred Thompson just so we can keep up with France in the First Lady race, international relations depend on it!
