In reading the Gawker article by Adam Weinstein, one can’t help but wonder if the piece wasn’t the product of a bet challenging Weinstein to achieve utter perfection in getting every facet of the subject matter wrong.

We are in a poor situation to contend with a very superior force. Our men are almost naked for want of overalls and shirts, and the greater part of the army barefoot. We have no rum, or prospect of any; none within four hundred miles of us, and little or none providing in Virginia ; and if there were ever so much there, the difficulty of transportation would prevent our getting it, as we were four weeks without ammunition since we have been in the lower country, and a plenty of this article waiting at Charlotte for the means of transportation. Had the enemy got knowledge, and availed themselves of our situation, they might have ruined us. [More]

"The pattern could be repeated in Brazil, or Mexico, or “murder capital” Honduras"
Brazil? Check. Mexico? Check. Honduras? Eh ehhhhhhhh. Honduras has LAX gun laws.
You appear to think having the highest murder rate in the world must mean you have tight gun control, regardless of what the gun laws (or lack of them in Honduras' case) actually are. The sooner you guys see past this the more we might move on and find workable, long-term solutions.
"Guiding gun control legislation in Honduras includes the Act on the Control of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials (Decree 30 of 2000)
Guns in Honduras are regulated by the Ministry of Defence and the Preventive Police
In Honduras, only licensed gun owners may lawfully acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition
In Honduras gun owners must re-apply and re-qualify for their firearm licence every four years
In Honduras, authorities maintain a record of individual civilians licensed to acquire, possess, sell or transfer a firearm or ammunition
Licensed firearm owners in Honduras are permitted to possess up to five firearm
In Honduras, the law requires that a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register
Authorities in Honduras are known to have implemented voluntary firearm surrender schemes, and/or weapon seizure programmes in order to reduce the number of illicit firearms in circulationBut wait, as Billy Mays used to say, there's more!
As a member of the Central American Integration System (SICA), Honduras is party to the 2007 Central American Programme on Small Arms Control and the Code of Conduct of Central American States on the Transfer of Arms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Material
On 14 November 1997, as a member of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Honduras adopted the Inter-American Convention against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Explosives, Ammunition and Other Related Materials (CIFTA), a legally binding multilateral treaty of which the OAS is depository. The CIFTA Convention has since been signed and ratified by Honduras
The Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, a diplomatic initiative aimed at addressing the interrelations between armed violence and development, was signed in 2006 by Honduras.
The United Nations Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition has been signed and ratified by Honduras
On 21 July 2001, Honduras committed to a consensus decision of the United Nations to adopt, support and implement the UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects"
Under Article 8 of Title II, Chapter I of the Act on the Control of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials, automatic weapons of any kind are forbidden in Honduras, as well as silencers and high-precision guns, such as sniper rifles.
in 2003, the government passed a law banning several types of military-issue assault rifles from private possession. Legislative Power Decree 101-2003 gave a 90-day grace period to surrender all weapons prohibited under Article 8, along with weapons described in the new law, without fear of criminal or civil prosecution and provided an incentive of 1,000 lempiras (US$52.92) per weapon surrendered.
Under Decree Number 69-2007, signed into law on June 29, 2007, private citizens were restricted to register only up to five firearms and are no longer permitted to carry their firearms in public unless they are being transported and in the proper manner.
Additionally, firearms cannot be carry while on a motorcycle unless the bearer is a law enforcement officer.
The legal carry of a firearm by his owner, either apparent or openly, is only allowed in the spaces of private property such as homes, businesses, workshops, ranches, farms and similar only by their owners. It is also permitted to openly carry to employees performing duties of surveillance and security in public and private businesses, industrial, of service, agricultural, and private security, and strictly in the assigned places and time of employment, in compliance with the requirements of identification, use of uniforms, and other required by this or other law.
In regards to the transport of firearms, Article 27A, third paragraph, explains that firearms can be transported on the streets, in public spaces or areas, public transportation and private vehicles when:
In regards to openly carrying firearms in public, Article 27A, fourth paragraph, states:
- ...the weapon carried by his owner is kept or contained in a case or container that does that permit its immediate use... and,
- ...should be kept on the glove compartment or visible storage areas in the vehicle.
In regards to bringing firearms to Honduras, Article 30 makes the possession of a firearm while in transit through Honduras illegal and requires visitors and tourists who will engage in hunting and shooting sport activities to register and request temporary import permits with the Ministry of Security prior to traveling to Honduras.
- At no time is permitted to openly carry weapons on the streets, public areas, public transportation vehicles, public institutions or commercial establishments, [of] industrial, of service, recreational, and any other space where people gather, except under the circumstances described on the first paragraph.
No one is more pro-gun than I am. No one enjoys hunting as much as I do. These weapons that have been used in these horrendous slayings aren’t the type of guns I hunt with or anyone else hunts with.Any questions? Aside from wondering if that video will stay up?

“So the question is how is this not a registration bill?” OFF asked. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes “progressive” gun-grabbers doing what they do best.
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?
Republican gubernatorial contender Tom Foley told the state’s largest gun group Tuesday night that he would block further gun-control legislation if elected, but he has no plans to seek repeal of the sweeping changes to the state’s gun laws approved last year in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

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.

He pleaded to a misdemeanor.” [More]

Technically they weren't registering guns, they were recording transactions BUT along with the dealer who last sold the gun (and when) the purchaser's name popped up too.

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.
