UPDATE: GRNC wants to get other manufacturers on the record. Also note Kevin Wilmeth's concerns in comments -- I'm going to have to leave it up to comment posters to hash this out as I just won't have any time today to delve into this. I'll try to moderate as quickly as I can get to things.

Revitalization of the State Militias
With his newest book, The Sword and Sovereignty, Edwin Vieira, Jr., has given us a magisterial work that meticulously documents the history of the early American Militias and why similar units must be revitalized today if we are to adequately confront our disintegration as a society and restore the republic that the Founders gave us.

An Imperfect Solution
“I’ll be working with them on what I like to call ‘peaceful fund-raising,’ ” Sprague said. “It’s not a perfect solution, that’s for sure, and I wish I could have done more.” [More]Seeing as how he defines "'the problem' in our society" as "scary Republicans and self-satisfied Blue Dog Democrats," one can only wonder what he thinks "a perfect solution" would be.

A Taxing Idea
One way to accomplish this goal is to establish a voluntary registration system for all privately owned firearms. Those who chose to register their guns would receive a card that would entitle them to purchase — tax free each year — as many bullets for each of their guns as any reasonable gun owner could use. Just show your card and a picture ID, and there would be no tax on bullets for your quota, which could easily be monitored by the same computer systems that verify the right to purchase a gun. No one would be required to register, but not doing so would make bullets much more expensive. Of course, criminals and others who are not permitted to own firearms would probably not apply for the discount, but if they did, knowing who owned a particular gun would help law enforcement track down those who illegally use them. And, for those who insisted on buying clips that held more than 10 rounds, the tax should be much higher. [More]And this guy's a law school dean.

Update to Marine Parade Rifle Column
I’d like to address some of the common objections appearing in comments to Saturday's GRE column.
My attention to this story came from an email list
run by and for Marines.
The rifles are NOT being carried in bolt open
position. The bolts have been removed.
You can tell because the operating rods are in the forward position.
The rifles in the 2009 inaugural, as shown in the
last slide show photo, did not have the bolts removed.
The issue of parade rifles carried by honor guards being
disabled in a different fashion under previous administrations, such as having
their firing pins removed, is not being argued here, although it should be—not that
it didn't happen, but that it does. But that’s
not the thrust of this article. Here’s what is:
Unlike in 2009, in the 2013 inaugural parade,
someone in authority made the decision to change that and order the Marines to march
with visibly disabled guns.

Disabled Marine rifles at inauguration signal shift in administration policy (Photos)
Wondering if this may be an inauguration policy of long standing that transcends administrations, Gun Rights Examiner made a cursory search and found something even more curious. In the 2009 Inaugural Parade, the United States Navy marched with rifles that had not been so disabled... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a public statement about trust that has thus far remained under the radar, as per the administration's M.O.
