In upholding this action, Judge Rosemary Collyer -– a Bush appointee! –- ignored the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s decision in the Heller case, and the clear language of federal law.

Considering this can fairly be characterized, without hyperbole, as an international criminal conspiracy, one that reflects callous, even monstrous disregard for human life in order to advance agendas and careers, such results will tell us much about the prospects for government officials being held accountable for their misdeeds.

[T]he evidence suggests that having more older people with guns may not be a benefit to society, and public-health policies must take action to promote the health of elderly persons and the safety of their caregivers.”Socialis...uh...sociologists Susan B. Sorenson and Brian Mertens said so, I believe it, that settles it.
This could be huge: The monolithic front presented by the administration is crumbling.

Sunday should be more than, as the current law states, "a rest day for all species of wild bird and wild animal life."

Ohio gun owners--are you going to make them carry this load alone, or will you help?
It eliminates a criminal charge ripe for abuse where the officer has discretion in determining if you met his or her definition of the term "promptly" that particular day.
It removes the statutory obligation to notify at any time, as well as a criminal penalty.
It removed the "hands in plain sight" requirements since a police officer could simply say your hands were not visible, which results in the same criminal charges. [Read]
Of particular interest to Gun Rights Examiner readers—what they came up with on guns. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes if they figure they need to know about this, don't you figure we do too?
Because of these intended uses, your walnut products are drugs within the meaning of section 201 (g)(1)(B) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(B)]. Your walnut products are also new drugs under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)] because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced conditions. Therefore, under section 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355(a)], they may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application. Additionally, your walnut products are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore, adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. Thus, your walnut products are also misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, in that the labeling for these drugs fails to bear adequate directions for use [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)]. [More]

We can only say that situations in which "seconds count" occur more in gun advocates' imaginations than in reality.

If Perez is correct, that lack of state-issued photo ID is 20% more likely to disenfranchise minorities from their right to vote, why would we not also believe it would have a similar effect on their right to purchase a firearm, as is specified on ATF’s Form 4473 requiring a driver’s license or “valid government issued photo identification,” and similar forms as proof of eligibility?Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary objects to a government-imposed requirement that they themselves consider racist--when it suits their purposes.

“We think that the laws on the books in Virginia are reasonable,” [Lori Haas] said.Followed immediately by:
Sen. A. Donald McEachin, Henrico Democrat, said at the afternoon vigil that he planned to introduce legislation calling for universal background checks for gun purchases.Gee, they're so "reasonable," we must have more!
What is occurring is that some folks in DOJ & ATF, along with Democrats and the main stream media are using law enforcement terminology to confuse the public by not distinguishing the differences between the terminology gun walking used in Operation Fast & Furious and the terminology controlled gun delivery used in Operation Wide Receiver.No:
The nation’s federal gun-law enforcer, ATF, in conjunction with a task force composed of several other federal agencies, allowed nearly 2,000 weapons to be smuggled into Mexico via Fast and Furious. These “controlled deliveries” of deadly weapons were put into the clutches of criminal organizations so that ATF could later trace the trail of those guns to the kingpins of Mexico’s criminal organizations.Judges?
So naturally, this sick-in-the-head criminal (and a California Sheriff’s Association’s “Outstanding Legislator” award recipient) is against the right of peaceable people to keep and bear arms: She’s against concealed carry.

SAF, ANJRPC Will Appeal New Jersey Right-to-carry Ruling [More]Which prompted WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike from NJ to write (in part):

The Spanish, who were at war with the British because they had chosen to back the American rebels in the War for Independence, saw the British fleet in pursuit and attempted to retreat home to the port of Cadiz. As they fled, Rodney decided to ignore the accepted rules of naval engagement, which involved two lines of ships bombarding one another with cannon much like two lines of infantry confronting one another across a battlefield. Instead, he decided to attempt to overtake of the Spanish ships by giving orders of "general chase"--having each British ship chase the Spanish fleet to the best of its ability. The British hounded the Spanish until 2 a.m., when the Spaniards finally surrendered. [More]

There are better ways to prevent illegal interstate firearm trafficking. One method is BATF's Multiple Purchase Reporting Forms.Jeez, why do we even need to hear from this lying thug?
Almost 19 years later, Virginia's one-handgun-a-month purchase law continues to serve as a balanced solution to help stem the flow of illegally purchased handguns from Virginia to other states. The genesis of the law was the result of a large number of handguns that were purchased in Virginia being used in the commission of crimes in New York City and other urban centers on the East Coast.Right. Do it for Bloomberg. There's a reason for restrictions on me.

The Metro cover-up machine immediately claimed Erik had “pulled his gun,” prompting Mosher to fire. Not true.
