CSGV thinks it 'scary' that not enough Americans are 'prohibited persons'

The provided link (pdf file) is to an FBI page breaking down the numbers of people on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database, showing that over six and a half million people are denied the right to keep and bear arms. The CSGV finds, apparently, that number to be "scarily" small. How many people deprived of what is supposed to be an unalienable right would be sufficient, in CSGV's estimation? 20 million? 50 million? 100 million? Or, given their enthusiasm for a government monopoly on force, perhaps CSGV would prefer that everyone who is not designated government muscle be denied effective self-defense. [More]

Should gun manufacturers stay in states at war with their best interests?

The Boston Globe editorial board, though, thinks that even if such a law doesn't make any sense, if it passes, gun manufacturers should stay put and deal with it.

. . .

Industries have no moral obligation to remain in states (or countries, for that matter) that actively work against them. They have every right to move their tax dollars and good jobs to states that won't use those resources to implement and enforce laws that work directly against the industries' interests. [More]

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence: Penchant for coercion goes beyond 'gun control'

That is what CSGV chose to object to, and the wording of that objection shows the twisted, Orwellian mentality that drives CSGV's agenda. If offering employees the choice of whether or not to join a union is "anti-labor," then the only way to be "pro-labor" is to force them to join. That is the "progressive" philosophy in a nutshell (and a nutshell, being designed to contain nuttiness, is a very good place for it). The same thinking can be seen in characterizing those who don't believe in forcing citizens to buy a government-approved health insurance plan as being "anti-health care." Of course, CSGV also believes that to be "anti-violence" one must support denying people the ability to effectively resist violent criminal predation. [More]

St. Louis County attorney on crusade against open carry

Hardly surprising that someone who views the Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms as "unfortunate" would also see Constitutional protection of the right to be secure against unreasonable searches as a "problem." Residents of Crystal Lake Park, St. George, University City and Maryland Heights might be wise to inquire as to whether or not Martin sees their freedom as "unfortunate," as well. [More]

Senator Coburn an 'insurrectionist,' for being glad he is NOT armed?

The puzzling thing about this is that one would think CSGV would enthusiastically agree with Senator Coburn about that. CSGV approves of every gun restriction, every "gun free" zone, and every reduction in the number of people armed that is ever proposed.

Instead, though, they even added Sen. Coburn's statement to their little "Insurrectionism Timeline" (which starts with the Heller decision's citing of resistance to a tyrannical government as a vital function of the Second Amendment--oh, the horror). [More]

Last day for Official 'Gunwalker' T-shirts


Friday, August 19, will be the last opportunity to order the official T-Shirt of the Obama regime's "Project Gunwalker." I'll let Sean explain:

The last full day of ordering is upon you. Orders close on this shirt on Friday, by 4pm EDT. If you haven’t bought a shirt by then, you can only hope that I have an extra shirt in your size. This is the second run of shirts, and it’s taken 3 weeks to gather together enough orders to make a decent print run. I am doubtful that there will ever be a third print run, so don’t delay.

Long gun registration: Today the border states, tomorrow everywhere?

Readers will remember that the ostensible justification for the new multiple long gun purchase reporting requirement in the four southwest border states (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California) is that it will supposedly help stop gun trafficking to Mexico. How it would do that, when the BATFE and Department of Justice let thousands of guns to be trafficked to Mexico when they knew all about them is something of a mystery. But if gun traffickers are now dispersing their operation throughout the country, the dubious effectiveness of the new requirement in those four states is completely undermined. [More]

DoJ shows its concern about 'Project Gunwalker' by promoting central figures

Are we to believe that high DoJ officials were unaware of "Project Gunwalker," and would never have authorized it, when the very people whom they have acknowledged were heavily involved in it are being rewarded--presumably with the approval of the very same high officials who would supposedly never have authorized it? Would it perhaps be overly cynical and "conspiracy-minded" to wonder if these rewards are actually compensation for low-level pawns and mid-level drones to fall on their swords, thus protecting the higher-level officials?
