Questions grow over gun range’s relationship with UN-supporting Armatix

The second observation is confirmed by Ms. Padilla’s appearance before a UN panel, admitting the company’s shared goals with global disarmament efforts (see video player embedded in this column). [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes collaboration is having consequences.

Call of the Sphinx

Except in this case, there will be no "All clear."  The trusting, childlike Eloi victims are all trapped inside, and it looks like there's no one from a more rational time to save them from the evil Morlocks.

Coming Soon, to a State House Near Hartford

I'll have more on this as the date approaches.

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.")

I've also been told of a connection with another group but need a link to validate before mentioning their name.

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.

Captain's Log

Notes and "smart guns"...

Symbolic

The old Hestonioan flintlock... [More]*

I guess that's supposed to make us forget the "prince" supports this.

And the crowd went wild.

* I'm told it's a Civil War percussion cap long gun.

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?

The Monster Mash

They walk among us. [More]

And they're a hell of a lot scarier and deadlier than these guys.

If You Don't Want to Be Raped, You Shouldn't Dress that Way

How very "progressive." [More]

The "Show Me" State

Are you serious?  [More]

Talk about "woeful ignorance."

Russia Cuts Off Ammo Imports?

SilverDoctors says:

“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.

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 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.
