GRE Round Up, Jan 27
Stumble it!The Obama administration, the Tiahrt Amendment, and 'Project Gunwalker'
Remember that at this time, Operation Fast and Furious was only a few months away from commencing. Sharing the trace data with Mexico might have seemed a good idea--all the better to show them the guns pouring in from Phoenix (and Houston, etc.?).That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
At the same time, the entire repeal of the amendment might have been problematic--if the general public noticed the sharpness of the spike in trafficked guns, and the highly concentrated nature of the source stores, uncomfortable questions might have been asked. [More]
Oh, and if you could spare a digg?

Illinois tries again to ban so-called 'assault weapons,' .50 caliber rifles
All three of these bills were introduced by Rep. Edward Acevedo, a Chicago Democrat (of course). He is both an anti-rights politician and a Chicago "Only One." Let's hope he has the drinking and anger issues under control by now.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
If HB 1294 passes, Acevedo and friends will have another problem. We "assault weapon" owners won't feel compelled to present our "proof of ownership"--proving that our hands aren't cold and dead will be enough--and Acevedo is not likely to enjoy that proof. [More]

Blocked funding for ATF's planned shotgun import ban already paying dividends
This is exactly the sort of tactically useful shotgun that the BATFE had hoped to ban. Without the BATFE funding prohibition in the appropriations bill, that ban would be well on its way already. Any 1919s that may have managed to sneak in before the ban would have been quickly snapped up by speculators, and thus priced beyond the means of most shooters, rather than the $699 that is apparently the going price.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
The "sporting purposes" clause still needs to go (and despite rumors to the contrary, it has not yet done so). The appropriations bill only provides protection for the one year it is in effect. Still, this is good news for now. [More]

Castle doctrine makes St. Louis more dangerous for criminals, safer for citizens
According to the AP article, St. Louis now intends to cast a more critical eye on claimed self-defense shootings, despite the castle doctrine, with the circuit attorney's office now to conduct a "formal review" of such shootings. This is perhaps in response to the rise in the number of shootings in which the castle doctrine was invoked--seven in 2011, as compared to two in 2010.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
It's hard to criticize efforts to determine whether or not claims of self-defense actually were self-defense, but one cannot help but wonder if the more intense scrutiny will also be applied to officer-involved shootings in St. Louis. [More]

Brady Campaign underpants gnome Dennis Henigan missing the news?
In other words, what Henigan refers to as an "absurd theory" is real enough that a federal official is now taking desperate evasive action to save not his career (he is resigning this week), but to stay out of federal prison. This is not to suggest that exercise of the Fifth Amendment-protected right to avoid compulsion to incriminate oneself should undermine the presumption of innocence pending proof of guilt that is the cornerstone of the American justice system.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
The fact that a DoJ official feels the need to avail himself of that protection, though, bodes ill for those who would dismiss this scandal as a paranoid "conspiracy theory." [More]

Condemning anti-rights activism--not 'mocking' grief
Apparently, it's fine for "Protest Easy Guns" to make the observation that candles don't stop violence, but not for gun rights advocates to do so. Regardless, as should be obvious, the only thing we are "mocking" is the soulless, cynical exploitation of the deaths of innocent people to advance an agenda whose success would leave more people disarmed and defenseless in the face of implacable evil.

St. Louis violent crime down--but keep your guard up
Given the size of these mobs (Quain estimates that he was attacked by 18 of the young predators), it is perhaps time to ask on whose side are those who advocate banning magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Perhaps losing a dozen or so of their number in one of their "games" will teach them some respect for human life. [More]That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.
