California DOJ asked how ‘smart gun’ without microstamping made ‘safe’ roster
The inclusion of the Armatix handgun on the roster “means that it ‘should’ have microstamping, but it doesn't to my knowledge have that feature,” the industry source explained. “So the question that needs to be asked is how did the gun get on the roster on October 24th of 2013? Could it be because it somehow follows the narrative that the AG's office is pushing?” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report asks a couple simple questions that ought to have simple answers.

Oh What a Tangled Deep Dark Web We Weave...
While this sounds inherently illegal, it really isn’t; Allison Price, a spokesperson for the U.S. Justice Department, clarified to the Daily Beast: “There is no federal law prohibiting sales of firearms over the Internet, and the ready availability of firearms through social applications presents yet another avenue for unlicensed sellers to transfer guns anonymously and without background checks. [More]Really? This is an even bigger threat than Deep Classified Ads?
So how come "The Armory" has to mill out power tools to smuggle shipments?
The "sales" described in this bullshit hit piece engineered to gin up hysteria against private sales absolutely are "inherently illegal." The Armory sounds more like a government-run undercover operation, and one intended to spread more disinformation than guns.
Funny, how everybody involved with this neglected to mention what the government knows damn well from their own report, that as far as "universal background checks" are concerned, "Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration..."

In re the Timmons quote stirring up so much outrage, as big of an authoritarian mudhead as the guy obviously is, in the video he said "automobile is not part of your home," not "your automobile is not your property," as the "real reporter" wrote. I believe the simplest explanation is carelessness/laziness on the part of the "Authorized Journalist."
UPDATE: This version has the written quote matching a more complete video quote:
"I don't think this has anything to do with the second amendment rights when you have the right to carry a weapon off your property," said Executive Director of the Alabama Sheriffs' Association, Bobby Timmons. "An automobile is not a part of your home. It's a part of the public property."Funny thing about the ASA--guess what they prominently display on their website?

How to Spread a Lie and Subvert Freedom in Three Easy Steps
Step One: Anti-gun "researchers" publish an agenda-supporting "study" concluding access to firearms puts women at higher risks for homicide than men.
Step Two: "Authorized Journalists" pick up on it and conflate "access" with "ownership."
Step Three: Evangelize the gospel throughout the land.
By lumping peaceable and responsible people who control themselves in with those who are violent and irresponsible, the "average" is inflated, caused almost entirely by the latter group.
That's then used to con the public into supporting the disarming of those not hurting anyone via edicts that will not affect those responsible for the abuse.
Oh, and Scott Martelle...? It's not a hobby, you idiot.

Cyberattack of the Antis
This was waiting for me in my inbox this morning:
No doubt the link goes to a malicious site.
I doubt it came from someone in the organization, but there's always the possibility they've been hacked/had their address book hijacked. My edress would be in it, because I signed up for bus tour notifications, which they never sent me.
Then again, it could just be someone who knows I signed up because I was encouraging everyone to do so at the time. I had one guy telling me he was an insider and offering to sell me the schedule. I figured, if true, such a snake would do more damage if left to plot on his own.
In any case, it seems reasonable to believe this is targeted. Here's the message source code, for any of you who know how to make heads or tails out of it:

Oh, and look: The one in charge is the daughter of a "powerful" Democrat politician.
"Mignon"? I guess it's a good thing they weren't eating bacon cheeseburgers that night.
Still, I question what she's actually done in life to give her the operational experience to do any more than take the guided studio tour along with the rest of us, and let's see:
- She ran a "family-founded newspaper" -- in other words, Daddy got her the job.
- She "served" on the SC Public Service Commission -- in other words, Daddy got her the job.
Then I look at what her ruling philosophy is, and that too requires a bit of translation:
- "When the market is not adequately addressing consumer concerns, Clyburn is an outspoken champion for smart, targeted regulatory action." -- And guess who "the decider" is and what the criteria are.
- "She has pushed for media ownership rules that reflect the demographics of America, affordable universal telephone and high-speed internet access..." -- You know, race-based redistribution of wealth.
You believe that, don't you?

Flak from Bloomberg flack shows GOA over target on immigration and guns
..Wilkinson lacks both the skill and the wit to come across as anything but eager to savage people he hates, which is more than a little creepy. That’s why, rather than present credible data to counter GOA, he defers to talk of clouds and bunnies, while resorting to nothing more than cumulus fluff himself. Remember, with “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day, and every indictment they level against another is really a reflection on themselves. The guy has nothing but insults to rely on in his vain attempt to deny the demonstrable and he knows it. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the sarcasm would be a lot more biting if the guy dishing it out weren’t such an obvious tool. And the fact they want to discourage us is all the more encouraging.

EMail Alert!
I get 'em all the time, and have to pass on sharing most of them due to one simple reason:
Every advocacy group email alert sent out should have a link where the info resides--if not on the group's website, then on a free document storage site like Scribd, or even as a post on their Facebook page. The reasons are many, including most bloggers and users of social media won't be able to copy and paste an entire email, but would gladly share a link. And often times I get emails but am so wrapped up in other demands I have to let things slip past me -- whereas if I had a link, I could just give readers a one-sentence intro and then hand them off to the group's website for the complete story.
Don't just rely on people forwarding emails. The important thing is to get the message shared by as many as possible. If the groups don't do this, they are letting an opportunity escape them, and most need all the help spreading the word they can get.

These two radio ads began playing on at 6 AM on WDEV, a station that hits a large broadcast area, including the Burlington and Montpelier areas. And if you think this is just a gun control in Burlington problem and does not impact you in your town you are wrong, dead wrong.I don't see where they have posted the radio spots on their website. I'll ask and update this with a link if they do. If not, i need to do a workaround, but just don't have time right now.
Yesterday the E-mail alert below went out from a national gun control organization to Vermont antis.
"But this isn't just Burlington's fight. Whatever happens to these three proposed changes will help set the stage for reforming Vermont’s gun laws."
This is an attack on the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights, state law effective since 1988, which protects guns, ammo, reloading, shooting, hunting, fishing and trapping from municipal attack. In 2006 range protection from municipalities political driven whim was added. Burlington is attacking all of your rights.
If Burlington gets their exemption to this law, other municipalities will seek the same.
