The Media and Firearms - This Week on Gun Talk Radio

| © Tom Gresham's Gun Talk® Radio. All rights reserved. |
Mandeville, LA – It’s the media’s treatment of firearms, Top Shot competitor Chris Cerino, and more, this week on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk® Radio, the original nationally-syndicated radio talk show about guns and the shooting sports.I'll be on in the 3 p.m. segment.
David Codrea, National Gun Rights Examiner columnist and The War on Guns blogger, joins Tom on Sunday to discuss his latest story on the media's treatment of firearms , including the reaction to the Navy Yard shooting, and gun buyback stories such as the latest out of New Jersey, that stated “Among the assault weapons surrendered was a Colt AR-15, a Mossberg assault shotgun and a World War II-era Japanese bolt-action rifle.”
Chris Cerino, owner and head trainer of Chris Cerino Training Group in Ohio and two-time contestant on History Channel’s Top Shot, stops by Sunday to talk about his experience participating in First Person Defender, an online web series created by Gun Talk Media. As a peace officer for almost two decades, and a trainer and competitor for more than 10 years, Cerino entered the day of filming with more experience than many gun owners. See how he did on GunTalkTV’s YouTube channel – Watch Chris in two scenarios involving him protecting his family at home: http://youtu.be/MsDEH9o8WFM and http://youtu.be/OlrGfhErqlg, and watch the whole first season of First Person Defender here: http://bit.ly/175duhX.

Gomez ‘assault weapon’ ban editorial alienates gun owners
“To the professional political critics, I simply offer this: volunteer for the Navy or for the other armed services, successfully go through SEAL or other special forces training,” he offers. “Then you will be fully qualified and prepared to fire as many assault weapons with unlimited high capacity magazines as you desire.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes another opportunistic “Republican,” one who talks about “respect” and “agreeing to disagree” while erecting a political scaffold that’s taking on an increasingly ominous shape.
UPDATE: See important follow-up “Former SEAL schools Gabriel Gomez on guns and freedom.”
Starve the Beast
Another reason I never read US News and World Report anymore. [More]You'll note I linked to Mike's piece, not to theirs. That's because every comment I see posted at the cited article was driven there by pro-gun sites. I recognize many of the comment posters from here, Gun Rights Examiner and Sipsey Street. We are driving readership to them, and rewarding a subversive enterprise that is on the ropes with page views that bolster its ability to generate ad revenues:
Starting in June 2008, the magazine reduced its publication frequency in three steps. It switched in June 2008 from weekly to biweekly. In November 2008 it decreased to monthly. In November 2010, it was reported that U.S News & World Report would be switched to an online-only format, effective after it published its December issue, with the exception of print publishing special issues on colleges, hospitals, and personal finance.Ignore these domestic enemies. Let their irrelevance be their doom. Let them continue throwing good money after bad until they drown in red ink and can't pay smug little propagandists like "Assistant Opinion Editor" Pat Garofalo any more.
Let them starve.
And the Hits Just Keep On Comin'

We're the Only Ones Tolerant Enough
[More]
Well isn't that mighty damn nice of them.They'll allow it--except when they don't.
I'm so glad we hire and pay people to tell us what they'll let us do, and punish us when we displease them.
Anyone curious as to what the sentiment was about such matters back in the day?
"Place the sovereignty in the PEOPLE, and all the mysteries of government which have arisen out of kingcraft and priestcraft tumble to the dust," states a passage from "One of the People," Philadelphia Federal Gazette, July 2, 1789. "What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."How many children in public schools anywhere in America can cite a teacher or a textbook calling that to their attention? How many of you can?

Bumming Cigarettes
"Indeed, we were told that ATF's Undercover Review Committee did not meet between February 2005 and January 2012,'' the inspector general found. [More]Guess who'd been in charge for half a year by that last date...?

OFF the ATT
Oregon Firearms Federation sends (I typically don't post entire alerts, but they're doing a server change, so there's no direct link):
As you know, today the Obama administration signed onto the anti-gun “UN Small Arms Treaty.”
Every knowledgeable pro-gun source has declared this is a blatant attack on our rights and sovereignty.
Republicans in the Senate have vowed that this treaty will not be ratified, but as we have seen, the Obama machine is more than happy to ignore the law and the will of the people to implement its agenda. This is certainly a dangerous development.
Oregon has two of the most anti-gun Senators in the country. No doubt they are eager to move forward with this liberty crushing “treaty.”
Still they need to hear from you. Please contact Wyden and Merkley and demand that they vote against any ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty.
Their web form addresses follow: http://www.wyden.senate.gov/contact/

Maybe having this noticed in such a high-profile venue will cause at least a text change, if not a change of heart.

My two cents--not legal advice, but an opinion: Warning shots, if they must be given, are best aimed at the intruder's center mass. When he elects to proceed with his own movements after being apprehended, he is putting the home defender and the loved ones he is protecting in immediate danger and must be stopped instantly. Especially if he chooses to ignore explicit warnings and instructions and continue moving anyway.

Standing with Mike
In re this post at Sipsey Street Irregulars:
First off, there is no post on WoG where I have allowed a threat against an individual, particularly an innocent. My comment "House Rules" are posted in the left sidebar here.
In re moderating and "censorship," guilty with no apologies. I put the work into this blog. You don't like it, put the work into one of your own. My house, my rules, and unruly guests and trespassers are summarily evicted, just like in real life. I owe no one a forum, particularly people who don't hold up their end of the deal and even read my Examiner links, let alone go a step further and help me to feed my family by sharing them.
Right--the pop-ups are just too burdensome to ask anyone to endure. Thinking I wrote Kurt's article illustrates something that really grinds my gears--putting hours of labor into researching and then writing an article that substantiates all of its claims, and then having someone presume to comment on it who hasn't even read it.
In re Mike not responding in time, jeez, I guess the world revolves around you and getting everything chop-chop, doesn't it? It never enters your mind that Mike might have other priorities, including well-publicized severe health issues that may preclude his hopping right to it every time someone snaps their fingers? The automatic conclusion is it must be attributable to his character defects and feet of clay?
And in re everyone who's not satisfied that the shooting war hasn't started, seems to me the guilty party is looking back at you in the mirror -- why haven't you led the charge? Everyone has a different line in the sand that typically will not be crossed until it gets close to home. Yeah, all the readers here are going to rise up en masse at Mike's cue -- the same ones who won't send him a buck a month, or share a link or send an email.

The piece itself is a 20-foot long by eight-foot tall pencil drawing, graphic drawing, very realistic, of a AR-15 Bushmaster automatic assault rifle... [More]
You're quite the ignorant media dupe there, aren't you Greg? The deceivers are counting on unquestioning fools like you.
Yeah, erase it and it will go away. Pull the covers over your head and "it" can't get you?
In frightened children that's one thing. In adults, it's just...universally stupid.
Not to mention contemptible. Boy, was Julia Gorin right about your type.

He never did respond to this.
We'll see if he replies. Any bets on if he does that it will be non-responsive snark?
And from Wayne's point of view, why would it be in his interests to help Morgan triple his ratings?
Armed American Radio Redux
The great Massad Ayoob, Alan Gottlieb from the Second Amendment Foundation, Larry Pratt from the Gun Owners of America, George the Mad Ogre Hill, David Codrea, Peter Gould and Gary Theroux along with Joshua Prince and Tom Odom of the Prince Law Offices.
You Don't Say
Bottom line, the investigators concluded "that the New Orleans Field Division did not comply with ATF's administrative action policy in the Guns & Ammo case and did not follow instructions it received from ATF headquarters...(and) also found that this case highlighted the problems that can result from the delays in ATF’s inspection process." [More]What have I been trying to get people to notice all along?
The last observation is of particular interest for Gun Rights Examiner, as administrative actions, or more precisely, the lack of uniform application and standardized treatment of FFLs, have been the subject of several prior columns, notably involving an action against Brink’s, Inc., where this column noted ATF was violating dealer license revocation rules in defiance of policy and law.
Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike's Caliphate
Jeez, I wish Ray Kelly were as tolerant of gun owners. [More]
I can't help but wonder if the NYPD Muslim Officers Society marchers all used up personal vacation time to participate. I mean, I'm sure the "progressive" separation activists would demand it, assuming that applies to mosque and state too, and not just to "traditional values" churches (noting they don't seem to have a problem with the goings-on over at St. Snuffy Martyr's either).
It's tough to tell because I can't find a registry for the group on either Guidestar or with the New York Division of Corporations...

Good thing for the uppity Threeper gun owner that New York is a one-party consent state in re recording, otherwise, we'd have all the established protocol justification we need to go in guns a-blazin'. [More]

AP 'real reporters' spread disinformation to support gun ban agenda
Does anyone think Carla and Herbert are lazy, incompetent, agenda-driven, dishonest, or some combination of these (perhaps all), or is there an alternative explanation that could account for the crap quality of their thinly-disguised propaganda piece presented to an unsuspecting public as "news"? [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists doing what they do best—spreading fascist propaganda.
Zero Tolerance
I wish I could say "Unbelievable." [More]
Public schools, their teachers, their unions, their administrators and their boards, have increasingly become subversive elements. As with all things "progressive," expecting the opposite from anything they promote would be prudent.
I haven't found which school this is yet, so that I can post appropriate contact information.

A Global Norm
A new article by Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant, Alan J. Chwick, and Joanne D. Eisen notes even the antis have to admit:
[F]orcible attempts to disarm people who still need guns to defend themselves—including for protection from predatory governments—are likely to lead to massive resistance, and to an escalating cycle of human rights abuses by government forces, and finally, to re-armament by the victim population.They're overly optimistic if they think some will need to re-arm.
And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions
Do you agree that the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own and bear guns without infringement? [More]I wonder how many ignoramuses who don't know why they're wrong and get all angry and obnoxious with people who do answered "yes"? I don't fee like giving out my edress and zip code to find out-- I get enough targeted spam as is.
See, there's a problem with some websites people accept as sympatico because of the tone they strike to appeal to a certain readership. Ever since I found out Ruddy was part of a mutual admiration society with Clinton, I've had about as much use for Newsmax as I've had with that obnoxious carnival barker "conservative" Michael Savage.
Yet again I must defer to Mr. Pynchon.
The Logic of Violence
I have to admit I'm not familiar with Billy Johnson, so I did some checking and found this:
Billy Johnson, the owner of Boxer Tactical and the AmidsTheNoise YouTube channel announced today that he has joined the NRA News team as a commentator. Personally, I’ve been looking forward to this announcement for quite a while. I think Billy is going to bring a completely different perspective to the NRA with the ability to reach a different demographic by focusing on ALL liberty issues and not just gun control. This is important, and sometimes lost on the firearms community. Our liberties are all important and all interconnected – lose one and you will very likely lose them all.A-yup.
How Many More Must Die?
I don't know. You tell me. [More]
How badly do you want to disarm us, and what are you willing to do to make it happen?
Because we will not disarm. And since you're so on intent on trying, the question you've got to ask yourself is "How many am I willing to have killed?"
And some will not go gentle into that good night.

The Tipping Point
Are you sure you really want to push things over the edge, Fred? [More]
Because with inane pontifications like "It seems obvious that military-style weapons with no hunting or self-defense purpose should not be circulating," it seems obvious to anyone who actually knows what they're talking about that you're ignorant, sheltered and irresponsible, and haven't really thought this through.

The Wrong Question
Thing is, if these experts know so much, and can identify all that’s wrong with the system, why aren’t they out there preventing it? [More]Because they're not really experts. Like you, they are agenda standard-bearers.
Way to once more prove that Pynchon quote, though.
This Day in History: September 23

road for about three miles before discovering that 200 Patriots
had built a defensive position on the road. [More]

Tonight on Armed American Radio
Mark Walters will bring two of America’s powerhouse second amendment supporters to the broadcast this week to discuss the past weeks shootings, gun control push and politicians exploiting tragedy to further their anti-gun political agenda. [More]Those would be Alan Gottlieb and Larry Pratt.

U.K. columnist asks if world should intervene to stop U.S. ‘gun violence’
“[I]nternational pressure may be one way of reducing the slaughter over the next generation,” he concludes. “This has reached the point where it has ceased to be a domestic issue. The world cannot stand idly by.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner counterpoint notes people who can’t even defend themselves sure do resent those who can, and they sure are indignant about it.

Vt. Sportsmen’s group files FOIA to head off Burlington ‘gun control’
That the Burlington Council, comprised overwhelmingly of Progressives and Democrats, would enthusiastically embrace the gutting of Vermont firearms freedoms is self-evident. That they would use every procedural means at their disposal to do so, and rely on most gun owners being uninformed and uninvolved, accounts for much of the success anti-gunners everywhere have traditionally relied on, and that Michael Bloomberg is counting on now. In states where he has not (yet) established lobbying “action groups,” he is relying on such collaborators to impose his will. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes trouble in gun paradise. Damn commies ruin everything. It’s what they do.

Preview: U.N.-American Arms Trade Treaty

We're the Only Ones Not in Trouble Enough

I also have a problem with the "officer in distress" citizen caller. That's kind of like an internee telling the Arbeitseinsatzführer someone on the work detail is slacking.
So it figures this is the official reaction:
“He’s not in trouble, but to keep things aboveboard, we put him on administrative leave until an internal investigation is fully complete,” the chief said. “I’m not saying he did anything wrong, but we’re trying to show we’re not trying to sweep this under the rug or cover it up.”

‘Costs of Firearm Assaults’ masks establishment disarmament agenda
Ms…. uh … Dr. Howell (why do I keep wanting to call her “Thurston”?) may be an expert in urban and global health policy collectivism, but she’s certainly no accountant.

The Fruits of "Compromise"
The anti-gun crowd doesn't want "compromise." They want confiscation and control. [More]David Hardy has a Reason article that all gun owners need to read. Anyone who tells you the "slippery slope" is just gun owner "paranoia" is demonstrably a damned liar.
His observations show the reason I am so adamant against throwing even the smallest scrap of flesh to the circling hyenas, as some of our "leaders" are proving themselves so adamant about doing, without consulting the rest of us, I might add.
Obama arms export law workaround recalls unlawful arming of cartels
The simple, basic question investigators have (intentionally?) left unasked is: Were arms export laws waived or ignored in Operation Fast and Furious? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks what no one else in the media will, meaning most will never see these questions, let alone consider them or demand their representatives ask them, unless you share them.
NSSF Continues Quest for Preemptive Surrender
Nothing like a blanket dragnet to catch more Americans in. They have been overtly bound and determined to throw the circling jackals a hunk of flesh ever since Newtown. And they keep bringing it up, especially, it seems, when the momentum is going our way. They're like the damn antis, they're so insistent on throwing something under the bus. [More]
