Everybody's helping him keep the lights on, right?

Turmoil

Perhaps one day it will be more widely understood that the limits are more attributable to poor individual choices than to "inequities," and that "venerable" is as venerable does. [Read]

Until then, the turmoil will continue.

Comparatively Speaking

You think you're looking at Iraq instead of Philadelphia... [More]

Actually for a comparable period of the last recorded homicide tabulation for Iraq in 2008 by Gun Policy.org, Iraq's rate was 2.0 per 100,000 and Philly's was over 10 times that.

What do you expect, when top law enforcement allows gun criminals to flout the law with impunity because they are the gun criminals?

What this story is really doing, of course, is ginning up public hysteria against "AK47-style" firearms.

Putin agrees with anti-gun U.S. ‘monopoly of violence’ promoters

His opposition to an armed citizenry, in spite of the demonstrable failure of his own citizen disarmament edicts as an effective public safety policy, may be best explained by another motivation. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the "public safety" excuse isn't cutting it, so the motivation must lie elsewhere.

Amnesty bill threat to gun owners shows need for organized involvement

Activist Russ Howard welcomes GOA’s alert as a desperately needed sea-change adjustment to the single-issue model that prevails in the gun rights community, just in time for a chance to defeat the “Gang of 10’s” comprehensive open-immigration bill. “This could be like a call from the governor 10 minutes before execution. What would we do without GOA and the other steadfast groups like Grassroots North Carolina and Oregon Firearms Federation?” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes single issues are affected by other single issues, and there are more productive ways to champion them than by politely asking domestic enemies to please stop.

‘Guns across the Border’ tells inside story of Operation Wide Receiver CI

What you can expect is to join him as he hosts cartel gun buyers in his living room as ATF agents monitor things from outside the house. If you followed Fast and Furious, you can expect to see a familiar face. You can expect to see screw-ups and betrayals. And, if you’re like me, you can expect to find yourself sometimes wanting to shout at Mike through the pages and ask him what the hell he was thinking to ever get involved in such a mess, let alone volunteer for it. That’s when you’ll know he’s done his job as a writer, and not only immersed his readers in the settings of his narrative, but gotten us to care. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report reviews a new book that will flesh things out for those of you who have been keeping informed on all things "gunwalker," and will open up a whole new chapter for those who haven't.

A Charlotte Democrat

A North Carolina lawmaker says he was caught off guard by the angry responses he got to a bill that would require the owners of pit bulls, mastiffs and Rottweilers and other large breeds to undergo criminal background checks. [More] 

Jeez, Rodney. I expect you'll have some more surprises coming if you keep pushing your agenda on people who aren't in the market for a control freak collectivist overlord.

A Good First Step

AMMO Act would limit ammo buying, storing for non-Pentagon departments and agencies [More] 

OK by me. Just keep in mind the unintended consequence will be it will also limit stores that can be liberated.
