MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Bob Menendez: You’re Damn Right I’m Going to Take Your (Toy) AR-15 Away. “I suppose the senators want us to rest safe, knowing that they won’t sit still for one minute longer while ‘F15.06 subcommittee for ASTM F589-17, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Powder Guns’ remains hopelessly out of date. Perhaps under the revised version of ASTM F589-17, children’s toy guns will come in no color other than hot pink, have a nine-inch-diameter fake flower permanently plugged into the barrel, and feature a billboard-style sign sticking up from where the sights would be, with ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!’ embossed in glow-in-the-dark block letters. Because, weeeeee, fun.”

Read the whole thing, if you don’t mind me saying so myself.
