2014 could be big year for 'printed' guns

The article goes on to note that China appears poised to seize this market (as they have seized just about every other market), resulting in, as the article puts it, "a flood of Chinese printers."

Ah--the delicious irony of China, of all places, being the source of Americans' and others' means of throwing off the chains of forcible citizen disarmament tyranny. The "government monopoly on force," so beloved of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (and Democrat New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler) is dying, and "progressive" China is helping to pull the plug.

New 'study,' same old distortions about US gun market supplying Mexican cartels

Another entirely predictable omission is any mention of the good being done with "illegal guns" in Mexico--perhaps the authors would prefer that these courageous women face the drug cartels unarmed.

As for mentioning "Project Gunwalker," in which the Obama Department of "Justice," under Attorney General Eric Holder deliberately sent guns into the hands of Mexican cartel gunmen--fuhgeddaboudit.

Widespread support for restrictive gun laws in the U.S. depends on a misinformed public being fed a steady stream of lies. Unfortunately, the government, mass media, and agenda-driven academics are feeding them a river of them. [More]

Gun-hating and Constitution-hating: They just go together

An enemy of the right to keep and bear arms is an enemy of the Constitution of the United States, and is therefore an enemy of the United States itself, and of the American people. Kinda sounds like a dangerous choice, doesn't it?

And one more bit of bad news for them--repeal the Second Amendment, or even throw out the entire Constitution--and we'll still kill any who attempt to disarm us. [More]

Gov Quinn mulls sending military into blood-soaked 'gun control' capital Chicago

Why is it that those who rail against so-called "weapons of war in our communities" are so quick to send the military into those same communities? [More]

U of K journalism professor's anti-NRA hate mongering is just latest example

These people hate us, and want us dead. They want our children dead, and us burning for all eternity. They are paid to dispense their version of "news" to society, and they have the backing of the most powerful officials in the U.S. government. And people ask us why we need so-called "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazines. [More]

CSGV exploits Navy Yard shooting to justify expanding 'prohibited person' list

So once again, the anti-Second Amendment jihadists are attempting to exploit a high-profile shooting in order to justify more laws that would have done nothing to prevent that shooting. This is not the first time that Horwitz has exploited the blood of murdered innocents to justify invading the privacy of prospective gun buyers (calling for ">mental screening" for gun buyers). It is unlikely to be the last. Kinda sounds like mental illness on Horwitz's part, doesn't it? [More]

Reaction to Starbucks: 'Gun control' groups demand nothing less than total ban

Starbucks, to the chagrin of the anti-self-defense groups, even now continues to honor customers' choice to carry the means to effectively defend themselves and their families. That should be enough to earn them the right to make their own choice to stay out of a debate that makes no sense for them to join. [More]

Veterans who want to keep guns had best be careful seeking treatment for PTSD

As this column has pointed out before, those advocating disarmament of veterans who seek mental health treatment seem to be unaware of a probable consequence of such a move:

With the growing efforts to revoke gun rights of people who are suffering from mental health issues, anyone who deeply values the right to an effective means to defend his life, family, and liberty is being given a strong disincentive from seeking the help he needs. This would seem an excellent recipe for causing exactly the kinds of tragedies we seek to avert.

Then again, when one considers the fact that the other side depends on high-profile shootings with high body counts, in order to fuel their agenda, perhaps they are perfectly aware of where this will lead. Perhaps that's not a bug, but a feature. [More]

In rush to push agenda, 'gun control' advocates ensure that truth is a casualty

In the end, though, the anti-Second Amendment jihadists are unlikely to be too embarrassed by their AR-15 misfire. As we discussed yesterday, after all, they are not at all above deliberately lying for their agenda, so they're hardly likely to be very troubled about having pushed a false narrative before they'd realized it was false.

CA proves 'assault weapon' bans have nothing to do with 'military features'

None of this, by the way, should be interpreted as an argument that a gun ban that did only target "military style" firearms, while exempting guns on which the government has bestowed the privileged status of "suitable for sporting purposes," would be any less heinous than this abomination. This column has long argued that the right to keep and bear arms does not constitute ten percent of the Bill of Rights because the Founding Fathers were terribly concerned about protecting the right to own sporting goods-- not, at least, unless a new and very different sport become popular.

The idea instead is to illustrate how blatantly the other side lies about its eventual intentions, and in their denial of a slippery slope. The only guns they do not think are "too dangerous" are those in the hands of the government's hired muscle. That's a truly epic level of historical illiteracy. [More]

Media mongers new fear campaign over 'bump fire' stocks

Don't be surprised if soon, a new federal bill to ban bump fire stocks, and perhaps belt-fed semi-automatic rifles (which often fall outside regulation under many magazine bans, depending on how the ban is worded) is introduced, citing this very rifle. It would hardly be surprising if CNN ran this story at the request of Sen. Feinstein or a like-minded anti-gun jihadist, to "prep the battle field"--setting up public support for a ban. Or perhaps Feinstein is ambitious enough to hope that this development is sufficient to revive S. 150, which would ban bump fire stocks, belt-fed semi-automatics, and so-called "assault weapons."

. . .

In the meantime, if any reader has any suggestions as to how one might set up a Bumpski-equipped Vepr-12 shotgun for belt-feeding (without losing the magazine-feeding capability, and without costing thousands of dollars), St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner would love to hear from you. [More]

MO Sen Repub 'leadership' chooses continued federal infringement of gun rights

In other words, these "leaders" decided to lead the state into continued docile servility to the federal government and its unconstitutional infringements on that which shall not be infringed. Both Richard and Dempsey claimed to be concerned about the Constitutionality of the bill, and how it could affect police and prosecutors (wasn't that kinda the point?). That begs the question, though, of why they both voted for the bill back in May.

Or perhaps not. Perhaps it's far less important to know why they turned Quisling than it is to simply remove them from the position of being able to betray the rights of Missourians. You don't, after all, ask a rattlesnake why it's trying to bite you--you simply kill it, so its biting days are done. [More]

Colorado recall election debunks 'elections go to the highest bidder' myth

National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea correctly notes that gun rights advocates now know the power they can wield in the form of old-fashioned grassroots activism. A perhaps just as important lesson has been sent to, and hopefully received by, every politician who might be tempted to vote against the people's Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms: we will come for you, and even Bloomberg may not have enough millions to save you.

And remember, if you go far enough, there are fates far worse than ignominious electoral defeat. [More]

Chicago gun owners throw off some 'gun control' chains, kids still defenseless

Gun prohibitionists' attempts to rewrite 2nd Amendment are a good thing

Even more fundamentally than that, of course, as National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea so succinctly explains, "But you go right ahead, Sparky, rewrite things to your heart's content. Now all you've got you do is enforce it." Again, good luck with that. [More]

United Nations claims authority over U.S. self-defense laws

It should shock no one that the UN is now asserting authority over self-defense laws in the United States. The UN, after all, has long maintained that there is no fundamental human right to self-defense. That's right--according to the UN, defending your life against a would-be killer might itself be a violation of his human rights. This, remember, is the agency behind the arms treaty that Obama will be signing within days. Just whose side is he on? [More]

Gun show 'prohibited person' arrests expose 'easily dodged background check' lie

This, remember, from the executive director of a group that only changed its name from the "Coalition to Ban Handguns" when its leadership decided that they also wanted to ban so-called "assault weapons," too. CSGV rarely talks anymore about banning handguns, but they never renounced that position, either. If Virginia's booming gun sales (pun only slightly intended) are anywhere in line with those in the rest of the country--and no one has presented evidence that they are not--it is precisely handguns and so-called "assault weapons" that are leading the way in the heavy sales volume. But now, suddenly, none of that matters--only background checks.

Once more, "gun control" is exposed as an agenda that depends on lies and twisted (il)logic for its very survival. It's well past time to take it off life support. [More]

IL State Police post concealed carry instructor application and requirements

Of course the Illinois legislature could do the ISP (not to mention the apocalyptically ruinous state budget) an enormous favor, and treat the right to keep and bear arms as if it were a right Constitutionally mandated to not be infringed, and thus not subject to the byzantine system of legal hoops current law inflicts on it. And of course they will not.

Not, at least, until the people of Illinois give them no choice. [More]

Obama's latest executive orders highlight need for serious push on H.R. 2247

These guns belong to the American people. Obama's import ban by fiat had might as well be a confiscation, not just of guns, but of our history--and of skills that we will some dark day need to preserve our nation and our lives. He must be stopped, one way or another. [More]
