Yesterday on Talking Guns

My interview yesterday with Kate Krueger is now online. [More]

Hoplophobes Need Not Apply

They said “it can’t happen here.” But increasingly, many of our fellow Americans are just now realizing how close we are to tyranny. [More]

Here's the latest from Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant and Joanne D. Eisen.

A-yup.

EEOC's claim that background checks are racist must also apply to guns

If criminal background checks and requiring photo IDs really do produce unlawfully discriminatory rights-denying results, the inescapable conclusion is agents of the government are willfully, with premeditation, engaged in a criminal conspiracy to disenfranchise minorities from their right to keep and bear arms. On two different fronts. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes the Obama administration is claiming in court that if you require criminal background checks, you may be a racist. Aside from being a great launching point for a Jeff Foxworthy parody, they're directly contradicting the position they take on guns.

Nixon's the One

Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed legislation Friday that would have made it a Missouri crime for federal agents to attempt to enforce federal gun laws in the state and could have landed journalists in jail for publishing the names of gun owners. [More]

Media still pushing Fast and Furious ‘failed gun-tracking operation’ line

How anyone can track guns without even attempting to, or botch a sting that has no mark, are questions those who spread such excuses never try to answer. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes more deaths, and rejects writing them off as mere fallout from a "mistake," especially since that position is unsupportable and directly contradicted by whistleblower assertions presented two-and-a-half damn years ago.

Inclusion of pro-gun constable as plaintiff against open carry raises questions

"I consider this lawyering at its worst,” Lewis declared. “I promptly went the Mississippi Bar Association and picked up three complaint forms for each attorney involved.” [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why a man was listed as a supporter of anti-gun legal action after he'd made his pro-gun position clear, and also asks what the gungrabbers were doing arranging a meeting with a senior judge four days before they filed their motion. This case stinks worse every time another layer is peeled back.

Lemons into Lemonade

This ad just showed up on one of Kurt's Gun Rights Examiner columns. I've been told similar ones have shown up on mine.

It's not our fault, nor is there anything we can do about it.  My guess is the algorithm picks up the keyword "gun" and assigns ads accordingly.

On the plus side, it's making them waste money on pages where no one is likely to be influenced, which in turn allows us to attract bevies of supermodels on our yachts, or at least buy a dollar menu hamburger every couple days or so.

I still get complaints from people who say they're never going to go to our site again because of all the popups and videos, and all I can say is I use Firefox with adblock and never see any of that stuff.  Of course, that also makes me wonder if we get paid for page views where those are blocked.

I'd love to be able to think up a viable different and better arrangement. Unless and until that happens, as I repeatedly plead with regular readers, if you get value from the work and believe you're getting something unique, in lieu of a tip jar, please share our links.

Why wouldn't you?

If you don't get value from it, what in the world are you wasting your time here for?

Workman asks a question we'll need to wait to find the answer to. [More]

Me, I think if there are riots, and if cops end up killing rioters, that could be the catalyst to set all kinds of things in motion.

Faces from the Past

I remember my Dad telling me that when he was a boy, his class was visited by some Civil War veterans.  Some of them, in turn, would have been born while some of these men were still alive.

It kind of puts in perspective how brief the experiment has been and how quickly things have changed.

[Via Florida Guy]

Truly Interest-Free?

Neither Giffords, shot in the head during a Tucson attack in 2011, nor Kelly is interested in taking a single weapon from any law-abiding gun owner. [More]
That's just not true. From Kelly's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee:
And, finally, let’s have a careful and civil conversation about the lethality of the firearms we permit to be legally bought and sold. You can’t just walk into a store and buy a machine gun, but you can easily buy a semi-automatic high velocity assault rifle and/or high capacity ammunition magazines. We should come together and decide where to draw that line in such a way that it protects our rights and communities alike.

I'd say he's more than "interested." Why else would he resort to ridiculous publicity stunts?

An Absolute Minefield

The text is in on the Child Handgun Safety Act. [More]

The bottom line: The "progressives" demand our complete surrender followed by conformity and obedience to everything else they insist on.

Text Reveals Goal

As many rifle rounds are also chambered for handgun as well, the entire stock of certain rifle rounds could certainly be banned. [More]
True, there is very little chance this will pass now.

How about next year? 10 years from now? 20?

They've won their victories in increments.They'll take future victories the same way.

That's why ceding any ground  -- any at all -- is simply an unacceptable strategy.

You don't allow the enemy a beachhead from which he can then launch his next assault.  And you don't throw a scrap of flesh to circling jackals with the assumption it will satisfy them and cause them to leave you in peace.

Email Slowdown

I have over 200 emails currently unread and more are going to pile up before I can get to them--sorry, but I have family in for my annual Independence Day barbecue and many preparation duties to attend to. 

I did ask for a slowdown a few days back on emails and it's gotten to the point where I probably won't even have time to read all of them, let alone respond to them.  I apologize and feel bad about it, but there is only one of me.

Expect only a few priority posts on this blog and I may or may not do a GRE column tomorrow.

If you have time to be on the internet and are just itching for something to do, why not add a name to Bloomberg's declaration, and get everyone you know to join in the fun?

Mississippi Supreme Court denies petition to undo open carry block

A three-judge panel of the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled yesterday against the state attorney general’s petition to undo an injunction blocking a firearms open carry law from going into effect. [More]

Sheriff says CBI advises breaking law, stolen gun owners to be victimized twice


In today’s post, Smith gave an example of how a gun owner would become part of “Colorado’s new criminal class,” being victimized once by a burglar and a second time by the state, citing the fictitious example of "Diane," who had a hypothetical "Glock Model 17" stolen. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at an official Catch 22 where the victims are punished again by the state and even its top enforcers can offer no other option but for local cops to break the law.

Bloomberg, MAIG celebrate Independence Day with declaration restricting freedom

And in a Bizarro parody of the Declaration of Independence that, true to the nature of all “progressive” claims, means just the opposite of what they say, they demand government control the populace in an even more “perfect,” that is, perfectly totalitarian union. Considering that Bloomberg and his fellow mayoral travelers are government “officials,” it’s akin to British colonial officials penning the foundational document from 1776 to argue George III needed more power. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes that to Bloomberg, "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" is more than just an Orwellian quote -- it's a way of life. It also suggests a Five-Minute Activism task that lets you join in for some Alinsky Rule 5 fun.

Miss. AG petitions state Supreme Court against open carry bill restraining order

“[T]he Motion incorrectly declares that District Attorney [Robert Schuler] Smith is bringing this matter in his capacity as ‘the chief legal officer of the State of Mississippi,” the petition documents in an ironic comment about lack of standing that illustrates a presumption of non-existent authority and questionable legal competence on the part of both the DA and the Southern Poverty Law Center attorney backing the power grab.

Three from Constitution Watch

Hey, around here, that's a "spate."

H.R. 2541: To allow certain off-duty law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm to protect children in a school zone.

Because everyone is freer when we have more "Only Ones." Thanks, Republicans!

H.R. 2567: To require that all handguns manufactured, sold in, or imported into, the United States incorporate technology that precludes the average five year old child from operating the handgun when it is ready to fire.

Subversive Speier and the Democrats. Figures. What did I warn about all those years ago?
Unless a drooling moron can hold the gun in his toes and gnaw on the barrel and yank back on the trigger with his (presumably opposable) thumbs in utter and oblivious tranquility, it must be banned. 
H.R. 2566: To modify the definition of armor piercing ammunition to better capture its capabilities.

Speier and the Democrats again. Evidently, because no text is available yet, it's safe to assume if it penetrates armadillo armor, it's verboten.

Don'tcha just love the way these last two have "Constitutional Authority Statements" and they just blanket refer to Article 1 Section 8?  And wouldn't you just love to see someone who knows ammo grill this ignorant  c-word on camera to produce another "shoulder thing that goes up" moment?
