... "The whole experience gives me pause. How many times have you been at the range and looked down your nose at somebody shooting a HiPoint or Jennings? How many times have you silently thought 'idiot' when someone fumbles with their gun? How many times have you looked askance at shooters using the 'wrong' grip? I know I do all of those things almost every time I'm at a public shooting range ... but I won't do it anymore. What if those 'idiots' are really just people like this woman ... inexperienced, poor, and without anyone to teach them how to do things right? By the luck of the draw, this woman pulled up a chair next to a professional firearms instructor at the range. ..." ... |

"The home page of The Coalition Against Gun Violence displays a flag that states, 'The United States Leads The Industrialized World in Gun Deaths,', with a button below it that says 'Act Now.' One would expect that if you clicked the 'Act Now' tab, in addition to being able to contribute, you might get some type of story, statement, or statistics that back up that rather bold statement. But what is all too commonplace in the world of sensationalistic anti-Second Amendment organizations is that there is absolutely nothing on their entire website to back up that claim."

"Unfortunately for the deceivers, we know that gun accidents have been steadily declining for decades for both children and adults, and are now at all-time historical lows, even as firearms ownership in the United States is at an all-time high both in terms of raw numbers (more than 300 million firearms) and in terms of the percentage of the population believed to be armed (more than 100 million), and the number of permitted concealed carriers (more than 11 million)." ... |

"... Nugent writes that America's gun problem doesn't really exist. Rather, he said the breakdown of the American family is what's to blame for the violence."
"'Mr. Gumbel is free to wallow in his ignorance, hate and lies that the NRA are pigs and somehow responsible for criminal violence,' Nugent writes. 'However, if he ever decides to be objective, do a little research, be honest and takes the time to assess the underlying cause for the gun-related mayhem occurring in our urban areas, I'm sure he'll point his outrage at a different target ...'" ... |

Young women in Colorado have contributed to boosting the state’s rates of gun ownership."

"Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Tuesday refused to say how he’d vote on open carry legislation filed this session, saying while he doesn’t think the effort has the support necessary to pass in the state Legislature, he wouldn’t block the bill in the Senate if it had the necessary votes."
"The remarks, made during a conversation with Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief Evan Smith, largely echoed statements he’s made in the past that the legislative will might be lacking to pass open carry. His unwillingness to take a hard and fast stance to promote the effort, however, goes against promises he made on the campaign trail to 'fight' for open carry." ... |

"Michigan Public Radio Network’s Jake Neher has been covering the story. The initial vetoed legislation, he said, was brought to public attention on the last day of the 2014 'lame duck' session, when legislators raised some concern about the bill's language."
"Neher said the language in question seemed to make it possible for people to get a concealed pistol license even if they had personal protection orders, or PPO’s, levied against them. There were concerns that domestic abusers or stalkers could get the permits." ... |

"The problem he’s facing involves something called a 'smart gun,' an interesting new kind of weapon that proponents say could improve firearm safety. The gun will fire for rightful users, but for everybody else —including children and intruders—it would be useless. This is not a pie-in-the-sky idea. A handful of manufactures have come up with various models, some using biometrics like fingerprint identification, others radio-frequency technology. And yet, Schutzler marvels, 'Nobody’s selling the stuff!'"
