“They walked in the house and they heard the alarm sounding in the house and they realized someone was in the house and they left. We called the alarm company and asked what we can do to protect ourselves,” neighbor Daisy Godoy said. [More]Nothing, dear. As you can see, your alarm company, of and by itself, only sells illusions of security. The "Only Ones" are only willing to add "nosy neighbors" to the "rat tail comb/vomit" option list. And the politicians those neighbors foolishly give power to, and the courts that back their hand, pretty much guarantee that when you walk into your home those will be the only options you'll have.

The seal was adopted by the Provincial Congress on December 13, 1780. The shield depicts an Algonquian Native American with bow and arrow; the arrow is pointed downward, signifying peace. A white star with five points appears next to the figure's head. A blue ribbon (blue, signifying the Blue Hills of Quincy, Canton and Milton) surrounds the shield, bearing the state motto "Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" This comes from the Book of Mottoes in the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, Denmark; written about 1659 by Algernon Sydney, English soldier and politician. It was adopted in 1775 by the Provincial Congress and means, "With a sword, she seeks quiet peace under liberty." Above the shield is the state military crest: a bent arm holding a broadsword aloft. The sword has its blade up, to remind that it was through the American Revolution that independence was won. [More]

Foremost among the concerns: Will what these sides come up with result in a “shall issue” or “may issue” statute, and what effect will that have on a recent decision in New York’s Second Circuit Court, and another, although much less-publicized decision in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner analysis notes every silver lining has a touch of grey. Sometimes more than a touch. It also links to an exclusive copy of a recent unpublicized but related decision from Hawaii.
'I felt like sitting ducks,' woman says after Oregon mall shooting leaves 3 dead [More]And for good reason:
Yes, the official policy is no firearms are permitted in the center. We have it posted at all of the entrances as part of our basic "code of conduct".. Our mall is owned and operated by General Growth Properties and all of their 200+ malls have the same policy. It's designed to provide our customers a safe, friendly, and comfortable place to shop. Malls are private property with public access, so we do reserve the right to enforce policies that we feel are necessaryGuess who owns Clackamas Town Center?

"She did not know it was a machine gun.This is a point I've been trying to make for some time. What the hell kind of "public safety" is enhanced by giving people who know nothing about proper gun handling financial incentives to do just that, and to further take them out of their homes and transport them in public?
"If the gun had been in the closet loaded, any second you could hit the wrong level and discharge a fatal round," he said of the Sturmgewehr 44.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation. [More]So we can't call you dumbasses for ignorantly, and without any vetting, publishing a satire hoax that happened to fit your agenda?

Crouch said he is concerned that selling low-quality, cheap weapons to gun dealers makes them accessible to criminals. “Citizens who are looking for a gun for self-defense or recreational use would not be interested in these guns,” he said. “That only leaves someone that would likely use it for something of illegitimate means.”Or maybe somebody's who's poor and doesn't have the benefit of a tax plunder-funded gun of their own?
In general, people who inherit weapons and are unfamiliar with their use and value but want to sell them should contact a licensed gun dealer, who could arrange their transport and sale, he said.If that's the case, why do antis continually host those stupid "buy backs" where they encourage people who don't know the first thing about firearms to handle and transport them?
"It’s a safety issue," said Jones...
