'SAFE' in New York apparently means in prison

Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said something along the lines (the exact wording varies from source to source) of, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

New Yorkers, though, are ordered to give up a great deal of "essential liberty," and for only the illusion of "a little temporary safety." The greatest outrage of all is that the vast majority of them will undoubtedly comply. [More]

Sarah Brady's ire at Gov. Haley's gun gift prompts Ghost of Christmas Past visit

Oh, by the way, Brady did have something to say about the reminder that her outrage over Gov. Haley's gift reeks of hypocrisy--she told her Twitter followers not to listen to such blasphemy. Brady clearly did not enjoy this visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past. Our job is to make a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come even more traumatic for her. [More]

'Assault weapon' bans punish the disabled--and everyone else

Sergeant Walker is presumably an able-bodied man, but he too is much more effectively armed with a so-called "assault weapon" (although some would have us call them "patrol rifles" when in cops' hands) than with a handgun.

In a very real sense, those advocating "assault weapon" bans--for either the disabled or the able-bodied--are trying to outlaw accurate shooting. Evidently, they care no more for innocent bystanders than for gun owners. [More]

Gun owners increasingly expected to cater to irrational fears of hoplophobes

In other words, it's useful to be terrified of guns--at least those not carried by the government's hired muscle. That perhaps begs the question of "'useful' to whom?" In seeking that answer, one cannot help but observe that it serves the purposes of the "government monopoly on force" zealots rather well. That, of course, makes it "useful" to the enemies of our way of life.

That should be all we need to know about it. [More]

NYC warning letters: Proof once again that gun registration equals confiscation

I hate to kick NYC gun owners when they're down, but this is the not-at-all unpredictable consequence of their compliance with the registration law in the first place. When bullies see that those whom they seek to dominate will submit to that dominance, they are emboldened to push the bullying still further. Now the gun owners' choices are to comply, again, or resist--probably not in the cards for the sort who would comply with the registration edict in the first place. There was an alternative, you know. [More]

To CSGV, we the people have no legitimate line in the sand to guard with our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

'Nuclear option' will boost Congressional 'productivity' in trampling gun rights

Is NRA throwing printed guns under the bus?

The NRA's apparent dereliction here is no small matter. These bills, which had been languishing in apparent futility for months, are now showing signs of life, which can only be expected to accelerate now that ARS is throwing its resources into the debate. Both H.R. 1474 and S. 1149 have picked up new co-sponsors: Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) last Wednesday, and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) last Friday. So far, rabidly anti-gun Rep. Peter King, of New York, is the only "Republican" (RINO) to co-sponsor either bill, but more are expected to join, to save us from "undetectable" guns.

The NRA needs to explain why it evidently believes that the Second Amendment protects only the right to keep and bear commercially produced arms. [More]

What actually scares Rep. Israel and the rest of the gun prohibitionists about printed lower receivers is that the lower receiver is the only component of such firearms that is subject to "prohibited person" restrictions, background checks, serial number requirements, etc. In short, the lower receiver is the gun, legally speaking, and a person who can build (or print) one can easily and legally buy all the other components needed to assemble a fully functional "assault weapon."

And that, a dire threat to the fantasy of a "government monopoly on force," is something that CSGV can be counted on to consistently fear. [More]

CSGV blames NRA for Americans rejecting 'government monopoly on junk-touching'

As for Horwitz's apparent contention that opposition to the long train of abuses perpetrated by the TSA on the American people is a creation of the gun rights movement, perhaps he would care to explain why polling found that 61% of the public objected to TSA's heavy-handedness, and that the more one flies (and thus the more one is subjected to the TSA's thuggery), the more likely one is to harbor "TSA animus," as Horwitz puts it. Perhaps he is admitting that the gun rights movement is far larger than he has previously been willing to acknowledge.

Anyone who works for the TSA needs to realize that as a part of such a loathsome agency, they have earned the hostility of those who are unwilling to allow the government to reach into our pants. [More]

LAX survivor: 'I just prayed'--the only option available in 'gun free' zones

Ironically, the USA Today article is titled: "Police: LAX shooting could have been far worse" (presumably because the shooter had a scary semi-automatic rifle and 150 rounds of ammunition). Perhaps that's true--perhaps it could have been. It could also, though, have been far better, had the shooter not had the luxury of waiting for police to finally arrive and shoot him four times--had the real "first responders" not been stripped of the option of a response somewhat more direct than prayer.

Who are these "many," and what can be done to get them the mental health care they so desperately need?

First 'smart gun' model nears market, brings threat to gun rights with it

Still, this is a threat that cannot be dismissed. If this gun does not impress the New Jersey attorney general enough to begin enforcement of the state's "smart gun" mandate, another soon will, and these handguns will become the only ones legally available to New Jersey residents. As California, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc., compete with New Jersey for the "honor" of being the state most hostile to gun owners, the contagion is likely to spread. Eventually, as more states implement such laws, that market will become lucrative enough to attract some major gun manufacturers, and there will be momentum behind this new abomination.
