Douglas Cioni, an 18-year veteran of the force, was unloading his gun to clean it when it discharged and a bullet struck one of his hands, township spokesman John Hagerty said.

I note clicking on the "Public Comments" link to see what's been submitted thus far goes to comments submiutted for the advance notice that ended in January.
How many comment posters have been discouraged now, and how did this happen on an issue of such vital interest to gun owners?
Will the comment period now be extended to make up for the time it has been closed?
A 'Progressive' Dilemma
Wenliang Sun, 26, came to the attention of UCF Police after university staff reported a “dramatic change” in his appearance and behavior — including spending nearly $70,000 cash on a new car “out of the blue” — the university said in a news release. [More]Those are triggers for deportation but being part of a gang or worshipping at a radical mosque are not? And does that not prove a need for through vetting of foreign nationals?
Ah, but here's the real reason for all the hubbub:
When asked whether he wanted to harm himself or anybody else, Sun said no, but police were concerned that he referred to his weapon as a “sniper rifle” instead of a “hunting rifle,” Beary said.I'm more concerned with "Only Ones" calling their "weapons of war" "patrol rifles."

A Flat-Out Macroaggression
Guided by MU counselor Nicholas Jenkins, the forum began with a discussion of how microaggressions happen, the various types of microaggressions, and how there are targeted microaggressions by whites towards minorities. [More]I guess that's code for looking for things to get wildly indignant over and making mountains out of molehills.
Yeah, those kids look like they've got plenty to gripe about.
Second Amendment Advocates Should Reject DOJ ‘Bump Stock’ Infringement
These are non-negotiable terms of surrender, dictated by a “pro-gun” president, a “pro-gun” attorney general, and enabled by our “gun rights leaders.” [More]Imagine what the "gun lobby" reaction (and attendant fundraising frenzy) would be if the same "proposal" had been dictated by President Hillary. And imagine what future Democrat majorities will be able to do with the "precedent."

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Arsenal' Is
Upper Darby police showed evidence they say they pulled from Sun’s bedroom, including a military-style ballistic vest, ski mask, military web gear with pouches to hold ammunition clips, a high-powered crossbow and arrows, a bullet loading dock for an AR-15 and AK-47, an empty box for a gun-making kit, 20 live round, ear protectors for firing, and a strangulation device called a garrote.

Paralyzing Discombobulation Made Easy
In America white guys receive lots of signals—from the news, from their communities, from elected leaders—that violence might be an acceptable answer to their troubles. People of other colors and non-Christian faiths don’t. [More]Yes, that's what she said.
That's a weapons-grade bit of terminal cognitive dissonance right there. In a way, it reminds me of the killer joke.
We're the Only Ones 'You Got 30 Minutes' Enough
Two city police officers have been suspended without pay after prosecutors accused them attacking a Domino's manager while on duty. Rodney Clark and Courtney Solomon are both charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and making terroristic threats for the incident that occurred on Tuesday, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a statement. [More]Hey, it's Jersey. It's not like any state where citizens allow themselves to be effectively disarmed has to worry about what the mundanes think.
Just a few bad apples?
This is the latest episode of bad news for the police department. Eleven cops, including the former police chief, have pleaded guilty in federal court to collecting pay for off-duty jobs they did not perform. Earlier this month, another officer was sentenced for striking a man with his police car during an arrest. Four others face charges related to a scheme to falsify timesheets. Four additional cops were indicted last year on charges related to a high-speed police pursuit that ended in a fiery crash...[Via William T]
Citibank Promotes ‘Former’ Violent Crack Dealer and ‘Gun Criminal’ while Imposing Restrictions on Law-Abiding

Yeah, It's the Patriarchy's Fault
If women like myself decide that we need to protect ourselves from violence, then surely this says more about our patriarchal society than the women who suffer because of it.

Almost Perfect
"To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm ... is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege." [More]Aside from the presumption of privilege, this is exactly what was intended, and throws the lie back in the teeth of the Burgers and the Stevens of this world that tbhe interpretation is a novel "gun lobby" fiction.

During sea trials the Ford used EMALS heavily, as would be the case in combat and training operations and found EMALS less reliable than the older steam catapult, more labor intensive to operate, put more stress on launched aircraft than expected and due to a basic design flaw if one EMALS catapult becomes inoperable, the other three catapults could not be used in the meantime as was the case with steam catapults.

Stevens’ Call to Repeal Second Amendment Caps a Career of Judicial Subversion

I Support the Right to 'Bear Arms'. I Shoot Weekly at a Range. Got it?
People who oppose restrictions on bump stocks-are you kidding me? People who oppose restrictions on high capacity magazines-are you kidding me?
