Spread of 'knockout' game highlights people's need for 'high capacity' magazines

Granted, the sorts of young thugs whose cowardice tends to dictate that they choose lone victims, while themselves numbering sometimes in the dozens, would seem unlikely to continue to press an attack as their would-be victim fires 10 shots into their fellow predators, it would be a mistake to expect any rationality from the kind of creature who finds entertainment in brutalizing innocent people.

The only prudent course is to be equipped stop all of them. And at some point those public officials who have chosen to stand with the thugs, rather than their would-be victims, will need to be dealt with. [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]

If Congress 'finishes the job' as Brady Campaign demands, 2nd Amd. is finished

Banning private sales will not "finish the job" to the gun prohibitionists' satisfaction. Even total forcible citizen disarmament is only a step (albeit an enormous one) in the direction the "progressives" would take us--toward a destination an armed citizenry would never allow itself to be taken. And even that is unlikely to be the ultimate end point. [More]

BATFE joins 3-D printed gun fearmongering

This column has long maintained that the supposed "undetectability" of plastic firearms is almost entirely a decoy issue--an excuse to ban the printing of firearms, which is actually frightening to people like Rep. Israel and Sen. Schumer because the easy production of firearms at home will render "gun control" irrelevant. Shall not be infringed by default--because effective infringement will be impossible.

That is what terrifies the forcible citizen disarmament zealots, and their terror is a beautiful thing. [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]

LA Times bemoans CA 'assault weapon' ban veto, knowing ban wouldn't have helped

According to Skelton, this boy's death was caused by an airsoft gun--one that was not even fired in the death it somehow "caused." For that to be the case, his death could obviously not have been caused by a trigger happy "Only One" blasting eight rounds within 10 seconds of seeing a boy with a toy gun.

Skelton has the audacity to dare gun rights advocates to make our arguments to the family of Andy Lopez. You first, Skelton. [More]

Gun prohibitionists blatantly and falsely libel Texas gun rights group

Some argue that TOC's approach is too "in your face" to be effective advocacy, and that is perhaps a debate worth having, if only for how interesting it would be to hear why one should be "polite" in demanding recognition of one's fundamental human rights. But Ungar went so far as to accuse the group of terrorism.

Anyone that easily "terrorized" deserves to live in terror, and those working to strip Americans of their Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms should be terrified of the backlash against their agenda. [More]

Last US lead smelter closure highlights need to rescind bullet material limits

The other problem, of course, is that if oath-breaking cops pick the wrong side some dark day when the government's cold war on the people goes hot, the restoration of our Republic will require the people's ability stop them, no matter what they are wearing.

Oh--one more problem: "must not be made of tungsten (for example)" is an impossible fit with shall not be infringed. [More]

Statists as alarmed by Ronnie Barrett's high caliber principles as by his rifles

In other words, it really does appear that Barrett's very public high-minded, principled, uncompromising stance on the Second Amendment is what makes collectivists fear his rifles more than others that are essentially equally "dangerous." And that's one of the few things the statists get right--without the love of liberty, and the will and courage to defend it, the guns avail nothing. It's Barrett's ideas, even more than his rifles, that threaten their agenda. So far, though, they have not figured out a way to ban those. [More]

Columnist obejcts to condemnation of cop who killed 13-year-old 'armed' with toy

But fear not--Hansen has a solution:

Rather than promoting victimization, how about encouraging people to actually cooperate with law enforcement directives? Would there have been a death in this case if this young man had simply complied? Chances are, there would not have even been an arrest!

That's all it takes--be a docile, compliant herbivore, and you'll probably not be killed ("chances are," not "even" arrested for being a boy with a toy gun!). [More]

Sen. Feinstein apparently wants to ban 19th century revolvers

Feinstein, though, has now taken the insanity to a perhaps unprecedented level. Now it's not just ergonomic refinements and cosmetic features that render some guns "unsuitable" for private ownership. Now, the name of the gun is enough to justify a ban.

She would probably really object to this correspondent's idea for an AR-15 platform rifle marketed as the "Regime Changer" ("Recall Ballot From the Rooftops Launcher" is an awkwardly long name for a gun). That, of course, just adds to the idea's appeal. [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.

The intent here is not to mock the power of prayer to accomplish great things, but to illustrate the evil of those who would require us to seek divine intervention as our only chance of survival. [More]

Another anti-gun group takes the Goldilocks approach to 'gun control'

These creatures will likely never come out and say that, "This gun is too useful for defending one's life," or, even worse, "This gun is too useful for killing a would-be tyrant's hired muscle," but have no doubt that their most strenuous objection to any gun is precisely that. [More]

Maher's excuse for Obama's Obamacare lie also applies to his 'gun control' lies

All these lies were told with an eye to advancing the forcible citizen disarmament agenda--an agenda that Maher clearly approves of (while simultaneously blustering that "I ain't giving up my gun"), and so are presumably far more forgivable in Maher's view than lies intended to bolster a less "progressive" agenda.

The fundamental truth that Maher and Obama both are clearly ignoring is that any agenda that cannot win through on its own merits--its true merits--is an agenda that deserves to go down in flames. Those pushing that agenda, and the lies, deserve a similar fate. [More]

In Senate hearing, federal gov tries to weigh in on states' self-defense laws

In reality, of course, if the gun-haters in Congress find any leverage they think might be exploited to force the states to repeal SYG laws, Tenth Amendment be damned, they will jump on it without hesitation, Durbin's aide's assurances notwithstanding. And states must Stand Their Ground against such usurpations. [More]

Gun rights advocates must not 'negotiate' with anti-gun zealots

There are two possible approaches for gun rights advocates to take in dealing with the "gun control" pushers: unrelenting, uncompromising, all-out resistance, to the last man; or abject, traitorous collaboration--and only one suitable consequence for the latter.

What's it going to be, NRA? [More]

Closing the 'Instagram loophole' would require violating 1st and 2nd Amendments

Instagram is not a marketing site. No money from the transaction goes through--or to--Instagram. People simply post photos, and sometimes that leads to interested buyers encountering interested sellers. To ban that would be to ban talking about gun sales.

If talking about selling guns can be banned on Instagram, or anywhere else on the internet, what logical distinction remains as an obstacle to banning such discussion everywhere? [More]
