Key issues report and Giuliani endorsement add to gun owner concerns with Lynch

As for actions on guns, determining Lynch’s sympathies is indirect, but nonetheless not too hard to divine. She supported anti-gun Hillary Clinton, and then anti-gun Obama in their bids for political power. Earlier, she had supported David Dinkins for Mayor of New York, helping enable his lookalike “assault weapon” ban. And speaking of former Big Apple mayors, Rudy Giuliani, naturally described by “progressive” publications as a “staunch Republican,” gives her a thumbs-up. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the same enablers from last time are getting ready to pull a trick experience has taught them works every time.

A Conservative Approach

Yes, much to the surprise of many flag-wavers, Reagan was an actor. [More]

He was horrible on guns, too.

But there's something not being considered in this opinion piece.

"All" is not necessary.  A fraction, and being serious about it, will do.

It's not the first time this guy has seriously overestimated things.

NFA Forms Undergoing Changes

From FFLGuard, via email:

ATF announced recently that it has revised ATF Form 1 and Form 5, and the new forms were designed to eliminate the need to complete ATF Form 5330.20, Certificate of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B), in addition to the forms themselves. This was accomplished by integrating the information from ATF Form 5330.20 into the ATF Forms. In addition, while the new ATF Form 1 and Form 5 may be used for paper submissions, the original ATF Form 1 and ATF Form 5 eForms are to be used for now. These and other updated eForms are expected to be rolled out as early as the SHOT Show this January. We will keep you posted as new forms are released.

Lies, Damned Lies and Anti-Gun "Statistics"

John Lott addresses the "More Guns/More Crime" lie the antis have dusted off, updated and are presenting as a definitive "new" debunking. [More]

I stipulate statistical analyses have always left my eyes glazed over. I can still recall pulling an all-nighter, reading the same page over and over again in preparation for an economics midterm, frustrated as hell that I may as well have been trying to translate Martian hieroglyphs. I'm sure if I'd been born decades later, I'd have been diagnosed with ADD. If something doesn't interest me, it's indecipherable, and if something does interest me, grasping and retention borders on instantaneous and photographic. Sometimes that can be a blessing, other times not so much.

That said, I'd like to see a chart showing the number of gundupes personally willing to lead confiscation raids, and maybe another one showing the number of gun owners they'd personally like to see broken and/or destroyed.

A Life Sentence

Marcus Faella could have faced up to 30 years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of paramilitary training, but he instead got only a few months. [More]

This is an update to yesterday's post.

Having been convicted of felonies, how is he not now a "prohibited person," with an imposed disability that will stay with him for the rest of his life?

We're the Only Ones Back on the Market Enough

Ex-cop is arrested for his wife's murder, three years after his fellow officers ruled it a suicide - even though she was found shot in the BACK of the head [More]

Protests that this is not a "cop" aside, the investigation by those who are certainly raises quite a few questions.

How to Tell the Difference

Several bills have been introduced to allow 'open carry,' in Texas and Governor-Elect Greg Abbott says he is ready to sign an open carry bill. Meanwhile, the well organized, Bloomberg-funded group 'Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America' says it is prepared to fight Open Carry legislation, saying it will make it a lot tougher for police to tell the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys' on city streets. [More] 

It's actually pretty easy once you learn to recognize some of the signs, like the bad guys are the ones attacking people.

And there's plenty of evidence, fraudulent protestations of the agenda-driven D. Roger Enriquez and the laziness of the "real reporter" notwithstanding.

The Biggest Loser

Do you remember the name of that anti-gun group that former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg put together? Yea, me either. It seems that most voters forgot about the group, as well. [More]

We're the Only Ones Exposed Enough

A New Jersey policeman was arrested yesterday and charged with unzipping his pants and exposing himself to a series of young male drivers whom the cop pulled over during a seven-month period this year. [More]

Hey, is that thing loaded?

When the Team is Up Against it, When Things are Wrong and the Breaks are Beating the Boys

Tell them to go in there and compromise. [More]

Because nothing quite says "Go away, you're satisfied now" to a pack of hungry, blood-lusting hyenas like throwing them a scrap of flesh.

Plus, it's a lot easier than helping these guys bear the load, and fighting every advance each time one is attempted. The head of that group was on AAR last Sunday. I'll be talking more about the Nevada effort in detail soon.

I'm going to drop this for now with a statement of fact and an observation: In another life, and in a professional capacity, I have personally coordinated over half-a-dozen ballot initiatives in California to preserve fireworks sales. We won every one. It can be done.

What it needs, aside from money, is people with a vested interest getting involved and doing the needed things. This is where we get into "Profiles in Apathy." If the extent of a gun owner's individual  involvement is an occasional blog or forum comment, then compromise won't even be an issue. The antis will ram things through and keep on rolling.

This Day in History: November 19

We are sorry to be obliged to repeat our inability to add any intelligence relative to the negociations for peace. Various reports prevail of the surrender of Gibralter, but they amount to nothing more than a small degree of probability. The investiture of Jamaica is also reported, but rests on still more slender testimony. There seems to be every proof of the evacuation of Charles-town short of an official report of it. [More]
