This Gun for Hire
Word spread through the Capitol this week that Kotek started working on language benefiting Family Care after a visit from Paul Phillips, a former lawmaker and longtime lobbyist who represents the health organization.[More]The health organization headed by the "big democratic donor"...
He also represents a group donating big bucks to make sure this guy stays in power.
So what's with the Safari Club connection? Fudds for Facists?
And Oregon Gun Owners? (Not to be confused with Oregon Firearms Federation, which warned "They endorsed Floyd Prozanski and Peter Courtney, two of the most anti-gun politicians in the state, and they sent their lobbyist, Paul Phillips to testify in FAVOR of more gun control in the February 'special' session.")
UPDATE: It's NSSF. Third entry on Oregon Lobby List register pdf file page 22 of 29.
A 10-Point Plan
Thing is, he's picking up a baton passed by his predecessor and with no small number of "establishment" RINOs clearing his way... [More]
We're the Only Ones Blundering Enough
The Euharlee, Georgia police officer who shot and killed a teenager because she wrongly thought he was holding a gun had made a similar mistake in the past, and was fired from her previous job as a police officer as part of long history of blunders and poor job performance. [More]The superiority of trained professionals continues to amaze...

Go Ahead, Publish The Damn Names
If these New York gun owners are still that uninvolved that they haven't informed themselves and then taken steps to protect themselves, I can't get too worked up worrying about them. [More]
That doesn't make the judge right or the Journal News ethical.

We're the Only Ones Justifiable Enough
The object here is not to second-guess the cop. The object here is to ask what the outcome would be if the shooter were a private citizen. [More]
Yeah, I know, we;re told WE are never supposed to pursue. We're supposed to call it in and leave that to the "Only Ones."
What if he'd just hurt or killed someone you loved and you could stop him. Would you let him get away?

Russia Cuts Off Ammo Imports?
SilverDoctors says:
I've been asked if I've heard anything about this. I have not, but I called Wolf. The guy who answered the phone had not heard anything, but asked me to send him an email and he'd forward it to their person who handles media inquiries.
If and when I know something, you'll know something.
UPDATE: I did not get a response from Wolf, but this guy says he did. And he says they say they haven't heard anything.
“The largest wholesale gun & ammo distributors in the US have informed us in private conversation today that a massive scramble is on for all 7.62 as Russia has reportedly halted all exports to the US of Russian made ammunition.”I have not provided a link to their website because my security software gave me a warning. But you can copy and paste that quoted text into a search engine and see sites repeating it.

The 11th Hour
It makes no sense to act on complicated legislation like this in the last hours of the session, when tempers are flaring and everyone wants to go home. But for some legislators, pride and a desire for revenge are more important than thoughtful legislation. [More]Sure it does. It's what they call "gunsense."
Meaning, of course, that it makes no sense, just like OFF said.
