Young people’s pro-gun rally alters debate in D.C. [More]Encourage this as much as you can. Nothing less than the future depends on it.
Torrington attorney Rachel Baird said, in her view, police are not knowledgeable enough about the gun laws in the state. [More]Well, gee, I'm sure if this were something like EEO and sexual harassment and tolerance policies, they'd have all received specific training with a signed acknowledgment placed in their personnel files.

If there are any opportunities from where you are, it will be well to put America on her guard against this plan. It is said that the Enemy are sounding the disposition of the house of Bourbon, thro' the medium of Sardinia and have thrown out some loose propositions for accommodation; the basis of which is, the sacrifice of Ama. to scotch resentment; thus on all sides they are attempting to divide and of course to accomplish their views against all the parties. [More]
“Even though Lopez told the ATF that he trafficked the Barrett #20488 to Mexico, that firearm is not listed in the indictment and Lopez has never been charged with trafficking [it]. This is because if the ATF charged Lopez with trafficking that Barrett to Mexico, the ATF would have to provide discovery materials that would prove the ATF knowingly allowed that gun to ‘walk,’” the source explained. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a conspicuous absence. And, of course, more lies.
"AUSA Fielden knowingly lied in front of the jury,” the source repeated. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at how prosecutorial misconduct on the back end forms a perfect pincer strategy with the front-end "enforcement" practice of turning a blind eye to guns being trafficked to Mexico.
Today’s installment runs through two more documents provided to Gun Rights Examiner by a source close to the Shipley case, ATF ROIs that detail how the sale of the Barrett went down, introduce us to a mysterious stranger, and demonstrate that the transaction must have been authorized by ATF agents who had been closely monitoring things with FFL cooperation. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why ATF hasn't done anything about an "illegal" sale that took place under their noses--and the only answer that makes sense is, that's the way they want it.
We are calling on our elected leaders and candidates to support background checks for all firearm purchasers and to restore the 1994 law that limited ammunition magazines to ten rounds. [More]Hubert, Hubert, Hubert...
But the incident demonstrated, graphically, how half-assed the rationale for an armed society really is. [More]I see. One incident outweighs this.

I have a lot of my own people I want to kill, far more than two, and here I am, a total stranger, using one of my two precious kills on him and asking nothing in return. A more selfish person would not kill that m...f...r—would want to hold on to his two kills for themself, to kill a bully at his son’s school, or the boy who breaks his daughter’s heart. But I’m not like that. I’m giving. I care, OK? And so I would take one of my kills and use it, without even being asked, to kill that m...f...r. That’s just the way I am. [More]Just the way he is: a twisted windbag. He had a chance to stop an adult beating a child simply by stepping in and stopping it, and he didn't. Instead he fixates afterward in sick fantasy.
We are now arrived at the middle of August – if we are able to undertake any thing in this quarter, this campaign, our operations must commence in less than a month from this, or it will be absolutely too late. [More]
Today’s report, consisting of documents identified as #3, #4 and #5, will lay out the evidence that the dealer was cooperating with ATF in identifying and reporting on suspects being watched, establishing that it was well within the capability and power of agents to arrest the traffickers and intercept the gun Shipley sold before it was smuggled into Mexico, something that was later exploited with great effect by the prosecution to condemn the defendant in the eyes of the jury. For reference, those documents have been posted in this columnist’s Scribd account. [More]
America’s deadly love affair with guns [More]A Malaysian editorial criticizes our freedom.
Several residents called police, noting the suspects are black and inquiring whether Mahaney was specifically targeted because he is white. He was not, the chief said. [More]Hell of an investigation there, chief, to be able to say that so soon and with such certainty. I'm surprised the "Authorized Journalists" included that bit of information, even if buried--it's usually something they intentionally suppress altogether--as regressive mouthpieces ridicule those who point the deliberate avoidance out, and then make ridiculous, illogical and simply untrue denials like:
White-on-black crime comes from a position of power. The opposite -- the minority oppressing the majority -- is impossible...Yes, there's a double-standard. And until there's full equality and the long slow process of racial healing is completed, the double-standard has to remain.
Fought on August 16, 1780, the Revolutionary War Battle of Camden, South Carolina, pitted American forces under Major General Horatio Gates against a small British field force commanded by Lieutenant General. Charles, Lord Cornwallis. Despite numerical superiority, the Patriot forces suffered a humiliating rout, one of the worse defeats in American military history. [More]
“The address on Lopez’s license is in Juarez, Mexico,” the source pointed out. “It is illegal to sell a firearm to a resident of Mexico. [The] FFL would not [participate in the sale of] a firearm to a non-immigrant unless it was done with the permission of the ATF to further an ongoing investigation." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report is the first in an exclusive series that will unfold over the next few days.
The campaign will also provide the public with the ATF hotline number 1-800-ATF-GUNS that can be called 24/7. Information that leads to a successful prosecution may provide a reward of up to $10,000. [More]So say goodbye to your rivals, claim that turf for your own and get paid to boot. Hell, there's even a good chance we'll off him for you if he makes a wrong move. And as an added bonus, you get to remain anonymous!
“It was treated in an above-board way,” he said. “There was no preferential treatment.” [More]I'm sure they can produce many cases, nationwide, where a non-"Only One" having a "medical emergency" has been treated with similar compassion.

When I arrived in the U.S. in 1972...[More]Ain't nothin' keepin' you here if you don't like our freedom.
Our friend Jim Shults (Shults Media Relations, LLC) has forwarded a note calling attention to S.B. 249. Yes, we checked, and yes, it's bad. The bill would essentially outlaw any gun with a removable box magazine and do away with the "bullet button" workaround that California activists were able to enact a couple of years ago. Not only would S.B. 249 make common guns illegal, it would require a massive gun turn-in. If the gun turn-in is found legal, it's a violation of the Fifth Amendment as well as the Second. On the other hand if gun owners were to be compensated for their confiscated property, it would drive the state further into a fiscal crisis.I wonder how many would comply with "a massive gun turn-in"?
What to do
Friends unfortunate enough to live in the People's Democratic Republic of California should immediately contact their legislators. A good source of information is http://calguns.net and its special page, http://stopsb249.org/. You can also follow their Twitter feed @stopsb249. If you are outside of California and have friends, there, alert them and let them know how bad this thing is.
California State Senator Leland Yee's horrible SB 249, which would have essentially banned possession of thousands, if not millions of common semi-automatic firearms in California, has been removed from the Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing calendar. The bill is dead for this year. Great work, Calguns.net, Gun Owners California, NRA, and other California activists. It's critical that this kind of bill be slapped down quickly and firmly. As we all know, every bad idea that comes out of California eventually spreads across the rest of the country. One great piece of news coming out of this is that there are several hard up-or-down votes to move the bill along. Here's hoping that California activists can put a dent in their re-election hopes.
There was some controversy within the gun rights community with Gun Owners California reporting as early as Tuesday afternoon that the bill was dead. Calguns and other groups tweeted that the news was being reported prematurely and that activists should keep the pressure on. We'll refrain from taking sides in a local dispute, but will point out that there is no downside that we can see with the California state senate phone lines being tied up for a few hours longer. Better the dogs bark too long than be called off too early.
Altogether a good day's work for the state of California, and the nation! Thanks to everyone!

That flies in the face of a June 5, 2012 letter from Joseph J. Allen, Acting Assistant Director, Public and Governmental Affairs, to Rep. Don Young, responding to the congressman’s inquiry on ATF dealings with FFLs. “Employees who violate ATF or Department of Justice rules, regulations, and/or policies are subject to discipline up to and including removal form employment,” Allen assured Young.
