MAIG removes members list from website after Bloomberg embarrassment exposed
The roster was present on the site on Saturday, when this column pointed out hostility between the former mayor and his replacement (a screenshot was included to show the segment of the New York roster still featuring Bloomberg), and by Monday, the first workday after that column was published, the drop down menu to identify members by state and city had disappeared from the coalition page. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a mysterious disappearance and asks: Could Bloomberg’s detestability be his Achilles Heel with other anti-gunners? And is de Blasio going to join MAIG or not?

Mississippi introduces protection against gun confiscation bill
“Nothing in this section or in any other statute shall be construed to confer upon the Governor or any official or employee of any department, agency or political subdivision of the state the power to: Confiscate or seize a firearm, ammunition, or components of firearms or ammunition from a person who is in lawful possession of such firearm, ammunition, or components of ammunition; or Impose additional restrictions as to the lawful possession, transfer, sale, carrying, storage, display or use of firearms, ammunition, or components of firearms or ammunition.” [More]This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a positive move in the Magnolia State.

Sean Penn owning guns after domestic violence plea raises legal questions
What Penn is even doing with guns in the first place is a mystery, if the reports are true that when partnered with Madonna, he tied her to a chair and beat her up with a baseball bat. The Lautenberg amendment prohibition on gun ownership applies to those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, and according to the New York Daily News, “Penn was also charged with felony domestic assault during his marriage to Madonna. He pleaded to a misdemeanor.” [More]
As usual, all the “real reporters” missed the real story. Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report asks how someone with a Lautenberg gun prohibition can have 65 guns to melt down in the first place. Perhaps it would make for a good Five Minute Activism project to ask @ATFHQ...

First-Person Shooters
I posted a link to Anthony Martin's latest column on Facebook about debunking common mass shooting myths, and some discussion ensued about the effects of video games. One person expressed uncertainty over dismissing them as a cause, and I replied:
My personal belief, not scientific, but just intuitive and based on what I see in life, is that gaming might be a catalyst for some--but anyone that close to the edge could be set off by anything, and attempts to regulate, control and ban would be as "successful" as "gun control"-- in other words, anyone who can't be trusted with a [gun, video game, matches, fill in the blank] can't be trusted without a custodian--and they need to leave the rest of us the hell alone until our actions prove ourselves a danger to ourselves or others.He cited Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's work and the 2001 Stanford Study on Media Violence. My response:
I've promoted Grossman's work and am aware he believes that, but he is offering an opinion, and his outstanding credentials in his field of expertise do not make him infallible in all. In re studies, I admit I have not competently analyzed the Stanford one, because I don't possess the specialized education to do a thorough job of it. My layman's understanding is that it artificially measured "aggression" (to include playground taunts) and did not separate TV viewing from video gaming in terms of causation. So is extended viewing and gaming the cause, or the fact that your parents (or parent) leave you unsupervised for so long? And what does that say about the example they set and the limits, expectations and standards they set, and behaviors their conduct induces and allows? So many other factors can have effects on the results. Plus, only one limited study hardly seems sufficient to declare certainty. I've seen enough"gun studies" to be wary of accepting any as the final word. Bottom line: I don't think anyone can take the population of gamers and come up with a sound and reliable prediction of what percentage will be caused, persuaded or motivated to commit homicide as a result, because it is so infinitesimally small as to have no statistically measurable validity, and parenting, economic and environmental factors have not been filtered out--and that goes for Stanford, too, which was done in 12 Bay area schools, meaning their subjects were overwhelmingly children of "progressives"--tell me THAT won't screw a kid up. I see no legitimate law that could be enacted here, but plenty of ways for those who would rule us to gin up concerns to exploit and further their control.While it's just my opinion, I don't think I'm wrong, especially about the "law" part.

N.J. activist Colandro earns Gun Rights Examiner endorsement for NRA Board
Colandro has put himself on the line with his candid and honest responses. For guts alone he deserves a nod.

Burlington Continues Stonewalling on Document Requests
We've discussed the goings-on in Vermont quite a bit here at WarOnGuns and at Gun Rights Examiner, and I keep getting more email updates that there's just not enough of me to keep up with, considering all the other stories demanding attention.

MAIG documents suggest misuse of public funds, conflict with Brady Campaign
MAIG had not yet merged with MDA at the time the information requests were filed, and the question of whether city facilities, assets, personnel and clock time were used to work on the Moms’ group operations and activities, in addition to MAIG’s, merits being looked into. Such an audit should include as many other personnel as may have been involved, along with relevant phone records, emails and time reporting, if applicable. Of interest would be if political advocacy posts on social media coincided with working hours, suggested by a preliminary investigation. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a billionaire helping finance his hobby on the public dime. As outrageous as that is, I have to admit seeing his hatchet man slapping around the head of the Brady Campaign is pretty darn funny.

DeBlasio conspicuously absent as Bloomberg still listed on MAIG site
That this has evidently not happened yet may just be a bit of payback, or, if his resentment for past attacks is strong enough, DeBlasio may wish to pursue an independent “gun control” agenda without giving any support to the Bloomberg efforts altogether. If that turns out to be the case, it would be a major embarrassment, not to mention a supreme irony, for Bloomberg to lose his flagship New York City at the same time he is expanding MAIG efforts into the states. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a personality clash between petty egotistical tyrants and does what it can to help egg on a full-blown feud.
The Eliot Ness Building
[More]
The retro cable channel replays "The Untouchables" reruns late every weeknight and I've been watching them. Audiences back then never asked "Why?"
Mike has some interesting commentary, including about the real Eliot Ness.
And yes, he has been the patron saint of ATF and of all the Jr. G-Men, too.
"ATF for Kids"... Good God. Do they really pay someone to do a monthly "word search" puzzle, and doesn't that just scream for a parody where you can find the names of the kids listed here?
I just wish they'd bring back the drawing contest.
The Hunt for the SS Sipsey
[More]
My unsolicited two cents, since I haven't been asked, but my advice would be to rig for silent running...
