Bloomberg tied to German move to occupy New Jersey ‘smart gun’ market

As for the company’s move to terminate ownership of non-disabled guns in New Jersey and then branch outward to the rest of the Republic, Stephen Teret from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the founding director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, who has been working on “smart gun” technology for 30 years, was happy to weigh in.

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes shrewd profiteers behind the “smart gun” conspiracy. 

Moms Press Staples for a Gun Ban

Just when you thought it was safe to buy office supplies, a small group of misguided moms is demanding that peaceful and law-abiding gun owners render themselves defenseless before they peruse the aisles for toner cartridges and mechanical pencils. “Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America,” or more accurately, “Moms Demand Gun Bans,” is insisting that the office supply chain, Staples, post its stores against the legal carry of firearms. [More]

That's part of the Bloomberg network, of course.  So naturally they describe themselves as a "grassroots movement," which makes me think of nothing so much as what  there's plenty of at the local dog park...

In re Staples, remind 'em of this and the 40 stores they closed earlier this year, and ask if they'd really like to staple things shut with gun owners.

We're the Only Ones Winging it Wildly Enough

An off-duty Richland County sheriff's deputy is in hot water after allegedly assaulting a woman, handcuffing her and slamming her head into a table at a Columbia restaurant on Monday. [More]

So naturally, Sheriff Leon says his boy was well within his powers.

He was, too. Look where this happened. Who could resist?

Two from NRA

• Feel Safe: I totally agree with what Colion Noir is saying--I've made similar observations myself over the years.  But whoever put the caption beneath the video didn't do him any favors by implying rights must be specifically included in the Constitution in order to be valid.
• The Third Century: Meet some new faces.

We know what he did to Larry Pratt--did you see what he said about John Lott?

Every time "our" guys go on this insulting media pig's show, his ratings go up.  So stop going. It's not like his regular viewers have minds to change.

Plan in Vermont is to 'inch forward' on guns in spite of state law

“So, this is a way to inch things forward on the gun control issue,” she observed. “You go to one of Vermont's most liberal municipalities and you get a tiny bit, then maybe you inch forward." [More]

"Whose stupidity?" might be a fair question to ask.

Quite the eye-opener, eh?  How close we are to mass desperation, and all that it implies.

And it certainly did reveal a weak link, the physical location of which could provide all kinds of opportunities to those who would benefit from prolonged chaos.
