‘Legitimate media’ ignores invitations to cover Minnesota gun safety event

Despite contacting “about 65 individual reporters … from about 30 different media outlets …[n]ot one showed up or even printed/posted the information about” Saturday’s Minnesota Carry Day and Safety Education Expo in Elk River, the group Twin Cities Gun Owner and Carry Forum announced yesterday in a post-event recap. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report provides documented evidence that anti-gun propagandists are lying every time they use the term “gun safety” to advance their agenda. This is valuable information these gun rights activists have provided us, and it deserves to be known, shared and used every time the lying anti-gun "Authorized Journalists" try to push through their subversion under the guise of public safety.

Bless Me, Ultima

"Like all of us in this room, he is a human being," attorney Teri Duncan said in closing arguments in the first phase of McCluskey's sentencing trial in federal court. "With flaws, but a human being nonetheless."

Duncan also quoted one of her favorite childhood books, "Bless Me, Ultima," where one of the characters teaches that "when you understand, you see it is not evil." [More]

I'd be all for him living with her, as long as he couldn't get to anyone else.

That's Quite Some Temporal Exception

So he didn't completely "abandon" them, did he?

This is the guy who maintained "[It] is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man."

Gun Violence Averted Thanks to Strict Laws!

Why can't we have "common sense" laws like this here?

In Norway, carrying a firearm in plain view in a public place is prohibited ... carrying a concealed firearm in a public place is prohibited.

Getting the Lead Out

The Captain comments on the smelter closure situation. [More] 

He adds, via email:

As you can see, I have been on a search for good, quality information on the closing of the lead smelter plant. I would love to have the time to research this, but just don't. In the mean time, I'm planting seeds in case one of you runs across information. Write on it, or send it my way.

This is one of those stories where--unless I get some unique and exclusive information, which is unlikely--someone else is going to have to field.

Her Own Person

“I was living in fear. I wasn’t my own person. Someone else had control over me, over my life, over my thought process. Now I am free to think for myself. Free to advocate on any issue I want.” [More]

What a pathetic and contemptible excuse for a liberated woman.  Let's see--she's controllable, so her solution is to make sure everybody else is, too.

This tells me all I need to know about her ability to formulate valid and coherent thought processes.

Remembering that for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, it's no wonder a New York "Authorized Journalist" holds her up as a "forward-thinking" example.

The Big Lie

The "Authorized Journalists/real reporters/legitimate news media" won't stop telling it. [More]

It's not like they don't know better.

Which makes them big liars.

And Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.

As with all things "progressive," every day is Opposite Day.

It's not "Good Morning America," it's "Good Night.

How to Be Ignorant

Guns and Ammo Technical Editor Dick Metcalf shows his readers. [More]

Who does he think he is, Dave Petzal?

Robert Farago has done a pretty thorough job dissecting this guy's foolishness.

I've talked before about how you can yell "fire" in a crowded theater, and about "well regulated," and how just because a right isn't specifically listed in the Constitution does not mean the default position is the feds can "regulate" it.

I'd say Dick ought to stick to technical gun matters.  After he humbly retracts his uninformed opinion piece and apologizes to his readers.

The Main Benefit

The main benefit of an NFA trust is that the gun owner does not need a signature from a CLEO - a chief law enforcement officer,  usually a sheriff of chief of police - before they purchase a Title II weapon or accessory. [More]

I'm a bit surprised this article doesn't detail the proposed rulemaking change, as it's currently the biggest issue in the NFA community, and as it will eliminate that main benefit. Instead what it says is "the current administration has discussed a background check requirement - something that could become mandatory through an executive order - no action has yet been taken."

Of course action has been taken that has risen above merely being "discussed." And time is running out to provide comments that may later be used to challenge implementation.

Thanks, collectors!
