Senate version of Missouri 2nd Amnd. Preservation Act amended into step backward

In other words, there is a very real possibility that in the end, the only part of the law left standing will be the part imposing the risk of criminal penalties on the victims of theft, and keep in mind that one segment of the population will be immune to this law, because in Haynes v. United States, the Supreme Court found that the Fifth Amendment's protection from any requirement to incriminate oneself means that a convicted felon, or anyone else prohibited by law from possessing firearms, cannot be punished for failing to tell the police about any guns he had possessed. The law, then, would not only target crime victims, it would exempt those crime victims who are felons.

Missourians must ask themselves, is this progress? [More]

Holder wants felons' voting rights restored, wants them to remain defenseless

For those not familiar, the Sammy "The Bull" reference was about a former Mafia enforcer Sammy Gravano, who was very much in favor of "gun control," for precisely that reason. As quoted by Gun Owners of America, from a 1999 interview in Vanity Fair:

"Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters," Gravano said. "I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins.

That's just the kind of voter this administration wants, and now it's working to get more of them. [More]

Texas man defending home will not face murder charges over dead deputy

'Progressive' writer uses Hoffman death to equate gun makers to heroin dealers

Granted, one can debate whether it should be legal for people to poison their bodies with heroin, and for other people to supply them with that poison, and indeed, this correspondent strongly believes that the "War on Drugs" is an immoral, unconstitutional, and ultimately fruitless endeavor. The fact remains, though, that rightly or not, heroin is illegal, and guns (rightly) are not (outraged "progressive" sensibilities notwithstanding), and to treat the trade in one similarly to trade in the other is to make a mockery of the entire rule of law.

Siskind is merely firing another barrage in the "progressive" war of annihilation against the gun culture. Luckily, and like her ideological allies, her aim stinks. [More]

MO 2nd Amnd Preservation Act decried by man who wants Constitution 'superseded'

By "could endanger the safety and welfare of children," he clearly means laws and amendments that protect the fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms. In other words, his amendment would "supersede" those, in order to mandate a "government monopoly on force" (reminiscent of every genocidal tyranny in history), and just for good measure, wipe out the Constitutional guarantee of equal protection for all under the Constitution--all "for the children."

He sounds like a pediatrician who truly hates children, and who wants public officials to have as little respect for their oaths to uphold the Constitution as he clearly does for his own Hippocratic Oath. [More]

Even compliance with Connecticut 'assault weapon' ban not enough for gun-haters

All that said, Stag is not necessarily above reproach here. Rather than trying so hard to obey an evil law, jumping through Connecticut's byzantine legal hoops, in order to make some kind of watered-down, not particularly useful "regime change rifle," Stag really ought to consider taking its quality jobs and its tax revenue out of Connecticut, and moving to somewhere in the United States.

Conn. 'assault weapon' court ruling admits their 'common use,' doesn't care

It is unfortunate that in writing the Heller opinion, Justice Scalia neglected to mention that semi-automatic, detachable magazine-fed rifles with pistol grips, barrel shrouds and flash suppressors have long been considered by the American people to be the quintessential anti-tyranny weapon. As said before, the unfortunate court ruling is just the beginning of the "long legal war" over this legislative abomination. In the meantime, Connecticut gun owners should continue to defy it. The "legal war" might, after all, escalate to the kind of war in which the quintessential "regime change rifle" is a vital piece of equipment. [More]

IL gun-haters deny trying to attack gun rights--while advocating 2nd Amnd repeal

Actually Goodman, even with the Second Amendment, you can talk about "reasonable regulations on guns" all you want (heck--I'd be interested in hearing of such a regulation--doesn't seem possible in reference to a right that shall not be infringed). Just expect to be shouted down, or simply laughed out of the room.

If gun makers opposed to 'microstamping' help murderers, so do CA police chiefs

Speaking of doubts about the efficacy of "microstamping" as a crime-fighting tool, for all the gun ban zealots' complaints about "the gun lobby" suppressing research-based solutions to "gun violence," there was a bill in Congress in 2010 providing for the Attorney General to arrange with the National Academy of Sciences to complete a study on microstamping. The bill was introduced by Representative Dan Boren (D-OK), and had eight co-sponsors, three of whom were also Democrats. As it turns out, all nine can point to at least reasonably pro-gun voting records and fairly high NRA grades.

Not a single proponent of "microstamping" in Congress supported this bipartisan plan for scientific study of the technology. It's almost as if they lacked confidence in what would be found in such a study, even one coordinated by an Attorney General with a clear hostility to gun rights, and a long history of manipulating junk "science" to undermine those rights.

Rumored Bloomberg shift from guns to immigration likely only a shift in tactics

Bloomberg is now supporting even "pro-gun Democrats," because Democrat control of Congress bodes well for oppressive gun laws, even with a few voices of dissent against the "gun control" agenda. A huge influx of newly legal voters from cultures where draconian government control over private firearm ownership is an unquestioned matter of course does the same thing. Bloomberg can hardly be unaware of that. [More]

'Progressive' says kill 'plutocrats' and 'climate tyrants,' or 'purge' 2nd Amnd.

For all his silly yammering about "plutocrats," and "government climate tyranny," Walker does suggest (perhaps inadvertently) one valid point. As Jeff Snyder wrote in his superb "Walter Middy's Second Amendment" essay, there is a very real danger that if the government leaves enough of the right to keep and bear arms alone, liberty advocates who insist on focusing exclusively on the single issue of gun rights will submit to tyranny on every other front, while telling themselves that they are free, because they still have the guns--guns that they will never actually use to safeguard their liberty.

The solution, though, is not to surrender an inch of ground on gun rights, but to become more vigilant against all threats to liberty. [More]

Connecticut throws 'assault weapon' registration party, (almost) nobody comes

Whether or not some kind of gun registration amnesty becomes law (over the governor's objections), it appears clear that the Connecticut government is about to discover that passing forcible citizen disarmament laws is the easy part. It's the enforcement that tends to be difficult--and dangerous. That is precisely as it should be. [More]

Rejecting gun laws on grounds that criminals won't obey them is not 'anarchy'

No combination of laws will ever make the crimes of rape, murder, assault, armed robbery, etc. disappear, but the laws against these evils are necessary, to at the very least provide a mechanism for removing the perpetrators of these crimes from society, before they commit that evil again. Laws against certain kinds of guns or ammunition, or possessing guns in certain places, etc., on the other hand, criminalize behavior that is in no way immoral or harmful to society, and in fact criminalize behavior that might be necessary to preserve one's life and liberty.

California state senator believes in ghosts--and 'gun control'

The sidebar video, by the way, in which de León attempts to justify the bill, in less than a minute exhibits a level of cluelessness about firearms that might exceed that of U.S. Rep. Carolyn "What's a Barrel Shroud?" McCarthy (D-NY). De León probably introduces multiple "gun control" bills every year (he, in fact, openly supports racial profiling for government scrutiny of ammunition purchases), despite knowing nothing about them, and the people of California apparently accept that state of affairs.

Ethical gun makers shun money from anti-American governments from Pakistan to CA

Government business is big business, and to decline it is to decline big money.

NPR, CSGV think lack of military service reduces one's authority on gun rights

I have never asked anyone to give my views any more weight because of my stint in the Army, and I will never claim that a person who has never served is therefore less qualified to comment on gun rights and "gun control." Military service, past or present, plays no role in one's authority on the issue of the right to keep and bear arms--and neither does lack of such service--unless Everitt wants to argue that Timothy McVeigh was more qualified on the issue than was, say, Sarah Brady.

Bloomberg giving up on 'gun control'? Very large grain of salt needed

These are not the actions of someone verging on "giving up on 'gun control.'" Bloomberg's ego and lust for power are unlikely to allow him to give up. Just as mass shooters tend not to give up until they meet armed resistance, Bloomberg should not be expected to give up on his evil until met with resistance he cannot overcome.

That may very well end up needing to be armed resistance, as well. [More]

More questions--and more answers--needed about 'armor piercing' ammo standards

More fundamental even than that, though, is the question of what relevance to a Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right can "sporting purposes" have in the first place? That's a troubling question even before the unsavory origins of this pernicious idea of limiting private citizens' access to life and liberty preserving firepower is considered.

The Second Amendment--10% of the Bill of Rights--was not written to protect the right of the people to keep and bear sporting goods. Those who do not want to see the American people playing "Kill the Tyrant" would be well-advised to separate official recognition of the right to keep and bear arms from "sporting purposes." [More]

In upholding NY's 'SAFE Act,' judge makes surprising (inadvertent?) admission

In saying that, he is obviously also saying that "the very features that increase a weapon's dangerousness to the public at large also increase its utility for self-defense [especially for the disabled]"--an admission you almost never hear from those who seek to ban so-called "assault weapons."

Once we reach that point--that the features that supposedly give the state cause to ban a class of firearms used in a tiny percentage of violence also make those firearms eminently useful for self-defense--a ban assumes that a would-be "assault weapon" owner intends mass carnage, rather than self-defense.

Resolved to be a 'gun criminal'

Sadly, I lack the boldness of Mike Vanderboegh, with his open, in-your-face "Toys for Totalitarians" campaign (also described here by National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea, and here and here by National Conservative Examiner Anthony Martin). I'll not take the risk of openly posting the details of my "gun crimes," thus making my defiance a strictly personal, symbolic effort.

Still, it's a symbol not without value--at least to me. It's my reminder to myself that I do have a line in the sand, that I do have too much pride to accept the government's pat on the head for being a good little "law abiding gun owner."

For this year, and all the years remaining to me, or until the laws comply with the Constitutional mandate of shall not be infringed, I resolve to be a "gun criminal," as morality demands. [More]

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]

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.

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.
