Gabby Giffords pushes prior restraint without due process for Michigan gun law
For her part, Giffords has not explained, if a man with a gun poses such a heightened risk for his “domestic partner,” why she stands by while hubby Mark Kelly buys an “ASSAULT WEAPON!!!” and a .45 caliber real “weapon of war,” and then comes up with a story that contradicts itself, first saying he’s going to turn it in to the police and then admitting his intent to sell the rifle across state lines. [More]"Gun owners" Gabby and Mark must be immune to all those fits of violence that make lesser beings like you and me so untrustworthy.

Where "Progress" Can Be Made
I'd say real progress was made booting this mole out of government. Too bad there was no real coordinated and effective use of people who instead were and are diverted by opportunists taking advantage of good intentions.Instead, says Cantor, Republicans and President Obama must come together to “focus on areas where they agree and where progress can be made.” Specifically, Cantor recommends the GOP eschew hot button controversial issues like illegal immigration and repealing Obamacare and instead focus on such pressing issues as “moving swiftly on trade promotion authority and finalizing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and a new agreement with Europe (TTIP).

“I don’t think making background checks limited only to sales that take place in public venues like gun shows and stores is going to stop the type of sales that lead to criminals buying guns,” said Baker, who supports the Second Amendment right to own a firearm but favors reasonable restrictions in obtaining guns, including universal background checks. “To have real teeth and dissuade people from selling guns to criminals, all firearm sales should require a background check.” [More]Translation: "I favor 'shall not be infringed' and advocate prior restraints by the very people specifically prohibited from imposing them. And having them destroy you if you don't obey."

It's Not Just the Second
Our rights under the U.S. Constitution are not subject to voter initiatives or unconstitutional fiat masquerading as law. Background checks cannot be lawfully compelled as a precondition to receiving permission to exercise a right no government, at any level, has the authority to issue or withhold. [More]Donald Cline notes, with the Constitution being the supreme Law of the Land, the Bill of Rights, with emphasis on the Fourth, Fifth and Tenth Amendments, is supposed to forbid such infringements.

There are two obstacles still remaining which greatly retard us, to remove which I have repeatedly applied to Government in vain. The first is That no provision is allowd by the State for the Recruits at the different places of rendezvous.

I wonder if his bosses would agree that identifying a detective this ignorant of the law who uses rudeness, intimidation and escalation of violence to kidnap a citizen and steal property is information the public paying for it all has a right to know.

It seems how a "different detective" rolled his car is also worth learning more about, and whether the intimidation was related to the "single-car accident" involving one of their own. (Other sites are floating the talking point that seeing the visible license plate was private information that could have upset family members, which if you take that to its logical conclusion shuts down sharing all on-the-scene disaster photography without prior police vetting and approval). And Joseph D. Coronato shows why he deserves being "Prosecutor of the Year," what with saying the incident "could have been handled better by everyone involved."
Yeah, way to blame the victim for insisting on his rights being respected. What more needs to be said besides "New Jersey"?

‘Deadliest massacre’ in Boko Haram history facilitated by restrictive gun laws
“[C]ivilians are not allowed to possess machine-guns, military rifles and handguns … private possession of semi-automatic assault weapons [and] private possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is prohibited,” the site advises. Add to that licensing, background checks and registration for what they are allowed to own, a prohibition on concealed carry and stiff criminal penalties for gun law violations, and Nigeria appears to be a land where the results of such “progressive” policies should be evident for all to see and emulate. [More]And whatever you do, for Allah's sake don't call Boko Haram "Muslims"!
Grassroots Nevada group fights back against Democrat’s attack on gun rights

‘Taken 3’ won’t succeed without gun owner patronage
Neeson’s anti-gun sympathies are hardly surprising, this column noted when his last movie, “A Walk Among the Tombstones” was released. The arming of Jews was omitted from “Schindler’s List,” a movie he won an Oscar for, and as a UN "goodwill ambassador" who rejects the founding principles of a culture he chose to join, he has reportedly been entertaining conversion to Islam. It only stands to reason he approves of French citizen disarmament laws.

The Perks of Being an Authorized Journalist

[More]I guess one of the perks is a heads-up about maybe getting kidnapped and having your head sawed off on video. I just learned of this today from a colleague who got the memo when it came out. How they determined who qualified receiving it would be a good thing to determine, especially since, in addition to being #justablogger, I'm actually a "real reporter" with a press card issued from a national media organization and everything -- plus, I know for a fact DOJ knows about me.
They know about this guy, too, but truth be known, there are no doubt some who wouldn't lose any sleep over taking him out themselves.
But that's not the point either. Not that I particularly consider myself a target of any note, and I understand I'd probably have a greater chance of winning at Power Ball (party at my place when I do!), but we all deserve to know about this.
So look at what a search for the title returns.
The fact that I needed to go offsite from FBI.gov to find a transcript, as opposed to being able to find a posted copy with press release on site, would seem to indicate somebody made a conscious decision to play what they perceived to be a threat to human life close to the vest. Who and why?

Terrorists take advantage of restrictive French gun laws to kill 12
With an administration policy abetting immigration by disparate cultures with incongruous goals, such attacks may be inevitable. If and when one does happen, the probability is that it will occur in an area where private carrying of firearms has not been normalized, and is discouraged or outright prohibited. As for any and all laws in place, the attackers will ignore them, as they always do. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a place that has every law an idiot Mère could demand. So if you were in an office and animals like this stormed in, how would you like your first line of defense to be a "common sense gun safety" advocate, and what do you think the chances are they'd give those "gun bullies" a piece of their mind -- assuming it wasn't already on the wall...

Debate Settled
Had a discussion going on what constitutes a machine gun over at my post about the guy who rigged cap guns to fire when rotated by a drill.
I was still unconvinced that this would have qualified, so I asked Len Savage. Here's what he had to say:
In US v. Fleischli held that an electronic on-off switch to be a trigger if it is used to initiate a firing sequence....
Red Jacket Firearms registered their drill powered 12 ga version as a post dealer sample.
Under US v. Staples you have to "knowingly possess"....A clever US Attorney could overcome "Knowingly" since the author claims that real guns would work....
Technically speaking, in Akins the ATF claimed the "spring" because it stored energy to initiate a continuous firing sequence to be a "machinegun"....I don't see how a battery does not "store energy" to initiate a firing sequence....through the use of a switch...
By my calculations it fires 6 rounds per revolution, firing for the first 6 revolutions for a total of 36 rounds....
ATF would call it a machinegun if my company sent it in for evaluation...
Now if you rigged 36 revolvers to fire at once, that's NOT a machinegun (heavily regulated) but a volley gun....Which is regulated like any gun you buy from WalMart....(or regulated under the GCA or Gun Control Act)
Go figure???
Logic? You will not find that definition in the NFA meaning of terms. (where the commenter quoted from).So having limited tools myself, if I used some guy's carpentry equipment to make what started this conversation off, would ATF's newest ruling apply?

Because You Asked
Seen at Mike's, in comments:
And then you need to know how to contact candidates directly, something NRA does not see fit to make convenient.
Per Jeff Knox, only around 7% of those eligible to vote do, and they follow in lock-step with what the Nominating Committee recommends. Having tried to change this for years, and seeing how many are unaware or haven't lifted a finger, makes me inclined to say "No, there is no chance."
It also makes me wonder how gun owners who won't even dominate the NRA Board can make good on all that "Molon Labe!" floating around, but that refusal to get involved while things are easy makes it more likely they're going to get exponentially harder.
Mike V, is there any chance of flipping the board of the NRA to a board whose first principle is liberty at all cost? And any ideas on how we do it?I'm not talking to him now, since it sounds from the rest of his comment like he is involved in grassroots activism. This is addressed to those who are not. First you need to be a voting member. Are you? Are you even a member? Then you need to know who to vote for. How do you do that? Well here’s one way, but based on results, nobody cares.

Taking a Dum...uh...Stand
Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists sure are a whiny lot. [More]
They continue to do this because their sponsors allow it. Their sponsors continue to allow it because of apathy on the part of those who could change things, which would be gun owners who could let them know there is a cost to giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Too late, but here's the prime call list ...* Focused congress call lists like this should've been put together, distributed and posted on web sites weeks ago. But guys like Mark Levin were too busy advancing the allegedly perfect structural formula tweaks that are supposed to automatically save America without the need for focused organization and winning elections (as if having term limits since 1990 saved California!). Rush Limbaugh complained as always, but didn't lift a finger to organize an intelligent campaign. His staffers could easily have done it, but he didn't even bother to ask folks to mindlessly "call your representative" (even if your rep is Boehner or Pelosi). None of the conservative groups, Tea Party groups, gun groups or immigration sanity groups lifted a finger to organize and activate. None of the candidates for speaker lifted a finger. None of the 28 who voted against Boehner lifted a finger. And so we lost by four votes.* NAYLocal Zip DC phone Fax Local phone

The Cosmic Prepper
So, let's have a little fun here on Zero Hedge, and use this as a test of your TEOTWAWKI preparedness. Our test scenario is that, like in Lucifer's Hammer, BL86 breaks up into several large meteorites between 100 and 800 meters, and many smaller. Let us say that three of the large ones hit in the ocean closest to you, causing both blast waves and subsequent massive tsunamis up to 100 feet high in all directions, and the other two hit a land mass in your hemisphere, causing massive atmospheric debris, torrential rains, no sun, and global crop failures for one year. Let's start by having everyone answer five questions: 1) Do you really want to live? Then, if you do want to live, and setting aside the fact that luck or fate play a big role in one's individual chance for survival: 2) Are you willing to commit murder and/or steal (the same as murder in many survival situations) in order to survive? 3) Are you going to stay put, or go somewhere? 4) How do you rate your chances of surviving 24 months? 5) What is the number one thing you could do in the next three weeks to dramatically increase your odds of surviving 24 months?

And yeah, if you haven't read "Lucifer's Hammer," you missed a good one and ought to rectify that.
