‘This gun has no safety’ says lawyer of illegal alien in murder trial
Attorneys for an undocumented immigrant facing charges in the high-profile death of a woman on San Francisco’s Pier 14 contend it may be the gun’s fault.
Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, 45, a Mexican national with at least five deportations under his belt, contends he shot Kathryn Steinle by accident with a found gun now tied to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. California Superior Court Judge Brendan P. Conroy on Friday found there is enough evidence for Lopez-Sanchez to stand trial on charges of second-degree murder for his alleged involvement in the woman’s death.
However, his legal team contends that the man never pulled the trigger and claimed the type of handgun involved is documented for having accidental discharges.

So the BLM Rangers carry auto-seared pistols or was the illegal alien criminal a shade tree gunsmith with a 2nd grade education? She was killed with a single shot out of 3 rounds fired accidentally? Never heard of a 3 string accidental discharge in a pistol before. Wow, California has really stepped up their game when it comes to firearm knowledge. We should all strive to be more like them...

Americans rushed to buy more guns after August shootings: FBI
Gun sales in the US soared in the month of August after a series of high-profile shootings in the country, FBI data shows.
The FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun buyers at federally-licensed dealers. This is the highest number seen in any month of August since the checks began in 1998, according to a USA Today report published on Saturday.
The soaring statistics come hot on the heels of monthly records for months of June with 1.5 million and July with 1.6 million background checks, a period that marked a series of deadly gun attacks from Charleston to Roanoke.

Missing service dog found in Texas
A Marine veteran's missing service
dog turned up in Texas last week, nine months after the German shepherd
disappeared — and was possibly stolen — from a North County home, a Vista-based
sheriff’s detective said Tuesday.
On Aug. 31, a tip led Kai’s owner, Alexandra Melnick, to a home in Aubrey, about an hour north of Dallas. The Vista woman flew to Texas and confirmed that her dog was at the home, Detective Debra Hutches said.

Melnick reached out to Texas law enforcement. Once they confirmed that Melnick had reported the dog missing in December, animal control officers seized Kai on Sept. 2.

Downtown Austin vault of precious metals turns up mostly empty
Gold first caught Ron Barbala’s eye in 2008. With the housing values plummeting and the stock market cratering, the Phoenix engineer felt betrayed by the economy, which increasingly he considered little more than a mirage. “The standard American method of investing, all of it,” he said. “I’d had it.”
Desperate for something of value he literally could put his hands on, he began acquiring gold and silver bullion. “Its value is in its physicality,” Barbala said. “It just is.”
Over the next several years, Barbala bought more than $100,000 worth of precious metals through a little-known downtown Austin company. Started in 1999, Bullion Direct began as an online virtual trading floor where thousands of customers could buy and sell precious metals to each other, with the company taking a cut of each sale.
Later, it began selling the metals to customers directly. It also stored the commodities for those who requested it — such as Barbala — with the glittering coins and bars kept safely in individual piles for each investor in an old bank vault in its Lavaca Street offices.
At least that’s what everyone thought.

Chess Board Badassery
I can't even imagine what something like this would cost in a retail setting. It's probably the only one if its kind in the world and whoever owns it is a sick bastard for teasing us with it.
Brazilian wasp venom kills cancer cells
Wasps get their fair share of bad press.
They have painful stingers, and they're not as useful to us (or as cute) as bees. Their time to step in the spotlight, however, may be just around the corner: Their venom has been shown to attack cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.
The cancer-targeting toxin in the wasp is called MP1 (Polybia-MP1), and until now, how it selectively eliminates cancer cells was unknown.
