Seized from Adam Lanza’s house: Gawker has a breakdown of the unsealed search warrants from after the Newtown shooting. This is one of many lists of the things acquired from the home.
@daweiner: Whoa. The unseen sniper security at the Super Bowl.

… let’s hope he never has to use it.

Background checks and gun regulations will do little good if criminals can print high-capacity magazines at home. 3D printing is a new technology that shows great promise, but also requires new guidelines. Law enforcement officials should have the power to stop high-capacity magazines from proliferating with a Google search.Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) • In a statement regarding the planned introduction of legislation which bans using 3D printing to print high-capacity magazines — something which a liberty-minded tech group called Defense Distributed has been all over in recent weeks with their Wiki Weapon project. The group actually had a fairly blunt response to Israel’s legislation: “Good f@&!ing luck.” This may be a first — an attempt to regulate 3D printing by a governmental body — so this will be interesting to watch.
Intentions unclear: Analysts are divided as to why this is happening. The most obvious reason would be that the government intends to use the weapons—which include sarin gas and cyanide—against rebel fighters in the country; however, this could increase global antipathy toward the Assad regime and inadvertently advance Western efforts to force President Assad’s ouster. So, some postulate, perhaps the regime is moving the weapons in order to prevent them from falling into rebel hands? Yet another school of thought holds that the transfer is simply an attempt to avoid Western attempts to track the weapons. Regardless of the motivation, this is scary, significant stuff.
Dear Arizona ShortFormBlog readers: If we were to give you a picture of our mascot, Julius the Laid-Off RSS Robot, could you go visit the Scottsdale Gun Club on December 10 to take a picture with Santa and a few AK-47s? If you want, you can even play target practice with the printout afterward. (We’d expect pictures of that, too.) Julius is a big fan of the Second Amendment and he’d really get a kick out of it. Thanks. (Editor’s note: This is a real offer.) source

» SFB says: Well, if you read too far into it, yes. It could also mean that we’re stunned by the weapon used, which is how we meant it. Clearly, we meant nothing by it other than that, uh, wow, someone used an AK-47 to shoot up an IHOP. — Ernie @ SFB
We can defeat any aggression if necessary and arm the people. … You, the youth, be comfortable … dance, sing, stay up all night.Muammar Gaddafi • Speaking to a crowd of pro-Gaddafi supporters in Tripoli, because hey, that’s what he does. His last speech, made last night, was via phone, which led some to raise concerns about his health. But he was totally out today. By the way, it’s worth noting that some officials (specifically in France) are saying that the death toll could possibly be around 2,000 for this whole Libyan protest kit-and-kaboodle. Gaddafi suggesting that he’ll “arm the people” could potentially bring that death toll number way up. source (via • follow)
