Alamo, Washington

A coalition of Washington firearms community leaders is today launching a grassroots campaign to counter the well-financed gun control initiative backed by a Seattle-based gun control group, while also preventing firearms confiscation “by any government agency…without due process.” ... Another member of the WAC board observed that Washington “is the Alamo,” where gun owners are drawing a line in the sand and making a stand. National attention will be paid to the competing initiative campaigns in Washington, because if gun prohibitionists essentially buy an election here, they will do it elsewhere. [More]

This guy is like a gift.

One thing I want to caution everyone to be careful of is following false leads to where the next bus tour stop will be--unless you can validate it with an email from the No More Names/MAIG group, I'm seeing signs that some with an agenda may be spreading disinformation to send gun activists on wild goose chases.

The best way to validate is to sign up for notification yourself (noting which states the bus will tour to).

National Guard vs Militia: A Graphic Argument


Tony Wilson created a graphic from today's GRE that may prove useful in chasing liars up a tree and leaving them hanging.

Laws discriminate against sex as well as age in Illinois FOID case

Females are clearly being discriminated against by federal law, as they are excluded from recognition as members of the unorganized militia on the basis of sex. That such a law would withstand challenge is doubtful without a redefinition of militia composition to recognize the realities of the role women are capable of and entitled to. That this law has been allowed to stand as written for so long, and that no bill has been introduced to recognize discriminatory exclusions that can be used to deny standing to women, is a discussion Gun Rights Examiner hopes to start with this column. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report starts a national dialogue on the composition of the "unorganized militia" that needs to end with a revision to U.S. Code.  Which politician will have the guts to introduce a bill, and how will those who oppose it justify such blatant, gender-based discrimination?

Too Much, the Magic Bus

Just received this email from Mack H:
Bloomberg bus arriving at Va. Tech, Blacksburg, VA, Friday 6/21 9:30AM‏

From some of my emails:

Fwd: The number to call is 212-788-2439 for a ticket to attend. 

I just called that number to "get a ticket", and was told that no ticket is necessary - event is open to the public, and in a public venue, near the B-burg police station. I was advised that I could bring family,friends & neighbors... "to get the public out in force". We should be there in force too, and to hand out GSL stickers!

Well then, Bloomberg is coming to our backyard. Thought you should know.
I called the number too--it sounded like a private number as the woman answered by saying "Hello."  She confirmed no tickets were needed.

I'd like to see some further confirmation from others in the 24060 - 63 zip code area, just to make sure no one is setting up wild goose chases -- I mean, the antis wouldn't lie, would they?  I'd like to see an actual forwarded MAIG email from someone whose 2A cred can be validated.

You all know how to sign up and everybody has, right?

UPDATE: Discussion here.  One thing I'm getting from this is they may be doing these things within 1,000 feet of schools wherever they can... 

I still need to see an actual MAIG email.   Otherwise, my suspicion will be they're trying to send pro-gunners off chasing their tails.

Firearm-Related Violence

In 2010, more than 105,000 people were injured or killed in the United States as the result of a firearm-related incident. Recent, highly publicized, tragic mass shootings in Newtown, CT; Aurora, CO; Oak Creek, WI; and Tucson, AZ, have sharpened the American public's interest in protecting our children and communities from the harmful effects of firearm violence. While many Americans legally use firearms for a variety of activities, fatal and nonfatal firearm violence poses a serious threat to public safety and welfare.

In January 2013, President Barack Obama issued 23 executive orders directing federal agencies to improve knowledge of the causes of firearm violence, what might help prevent it, and how to minimize its burden on public health. One of these orders directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to, along with other federal agencies, immediately begin identifying the most pressing problems in firearm violence research. The CDC and the CDC Foundation asked the IOM, in collaboration with the National Research Council, to convene a committee tasked with developing a potential research agenda that focuses on the causes of, possible interventions to, and strategies to minimize the burden of firearm-related violence. Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence focuses on the characteristics of firearm violence, risk and protective factors, interventions and strategies, the impact of gun safety technology, and the influence of video games and other media. [More]

I was hoping to do a GRE column on this, but a ton of other priorities have derailed that intent, at least for the time being, plus it ties in tangentially with another column I hope to be writing this week.

SAF Radio Campaign

From SAF, via email:
In response to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's national anti-gun ad campaign, the Second Amendment Foundation today launched a public education and awareness effort on more than 160 radio station websites and the Fox News Radio website.

The audio spots and banner advertisements will run in conjunction with streamed nationally-syndicated talk radio programs including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Gov. Mike Huckabee and Michael Medved, among others to explain its legal and educational efforts and encourage public support.

Major radio stations and markets will include WABC, New York City; KABC, Los Angeles; WBBM, Chicago; WNTP, Philadelphia; KLIF, Dallas; KGO, San Francisco; WBZ, Boston; WWRC, Washington, D.C., and markets in Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, Tampa, Minneapolis and Detroit.

A series of advertisements will air on "threats to firearms rights and SAF's response through litigation against unconstitutional gun laws."

We will highlight legal abuses of constitutional rights, and explain how we challenge such laws in the courts to protect our liberty. We've secured tens of thousands of dollars in advertising time to get our message to the public.

The effort is expected to reach millions of listeners, many who may be learning of SAF and its legal and educational programs for the first time.

If additional funds can be raised for this critical advertising effort, we will be able to continue and expand the campaign.

Physician, Heal Thyself

Interview with Dr. Adam Goldstein on assessment of competency for concealed-weapons permits and physicians' roles in reducing gun violence. [Listen]

First of all, who requires this? Would this be the result of some kind of court order?

He says there were no standards so he basically made them up as he went along. What are his credentials and what are the peer-reviewed authorities and processes that validates decisions? What recourse does someone who is denied have, and what liability does the doctor have if he nixes a permit and the patient becomes a victim?

This is just so incredibly dangerous with making physicians de facto deputized law enforcement agents. We've already seen disincentives to get something as basic as grief counseling.
