... "No, our new focus isn’t on neighborhoods like Alton Park or East Chattanooga but instead on 'hot' places and 'hot' people. In an article ... Kennedy writes ... Blocks, corners, and buildings representing just five or six percent of an entire city will drive half of its serious crime.'"
"The same is true about people. 'We now know that homicide and gun violence are overwhelmingly concentrated among serious offenders operating in groups: gangs, drug crews, and the like representing under half of one percent of a city's population who commit half to three-quarters of all murders.'"

"Why does everyone relate guns to words like dangerous, negative, and threatening? People do not give guns a chance from the start. Most people are taught as children that guns are not acceptable. However, most gun owners in the United States do not have bad intentions. The majority of gun owners use them for target shooting, hunting, or for protection. I believe everyone should be able to choose whether or not they own a gun. Its is a right that our founding fathers stated in the Second Amendment. No one should be able to take that away from us." ... |

"Emotional testimony today in Olympia from former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others supporting adoption of Initiative 594 was countered by a stream of gun rights advocates who dissected the 18-page gun control measure during a hearing of state House Judiciary Committee."
"On Wednesday, the measure will be discussed in a Senate hearing."
"Giffords’ husband ... tossed out an impressive figure, that in the years from 2001 to 2010 there were 5,692 gun-related deaths in Washington. Broken down, that is just over 569 fatalities annually, and how many of them were suicides and accidents rather than criminal homicides might be narrowed down by Kelly’s observation that in 2010, there were 93 people murdered with guns in this state." ... |

"When former Congresswoman Gabrielle 'Gabby' Giffords appears today in Olympia to testify in favor of Initiative 594, the 18-page gun control measure being sold as a 'universal background check' requirement, only one question should be respectfully asked: How would adoption of this measure have prevented the kind of thing that happened in Tucson in January 2011?"
"That's the incident in which Giffords was shot in the head ..."
"The question is a fair one. There is no disrespect in it. If Ms. Giffords comes to Washington State to testify on behalf of a gun control proposal, because of her personal tragedy and triumph, she ought to explain how this measure would have prevented what happened." ... |

"As the State of Connecticut went through the process of gearing up to push more gun bans and bans on high capacity ammunition magazines, it was estimated that The Constitution State had at least '2.4 million' of the offending magazines within its borders. But now, after the new forced registration law set in, only about 38,000 high capacity magazines were registered. So, where did they all go?"

"Unless you’ve been in a sensory-deprivation tank for the last 72 hours, you’ve probably heard of G2 Research’s new G2 RIP 9mm bullet. Thanks to a dramatic video and some compelling performance claims, word of G2 Research’s new “wonder bullet” has spread through the blogosphere like gonorrhea at an 18th-century naval port. We at TTAG have been inundated with requests about it. On my ShootingTheBull410 YouTube channel and blog, I’ve been flooded with requests.

"It’s not very difficult to connect the NRA’s screeds against gun control in the United States with incidents of genocide in the world (Rwanda, Congo, Serbia ...) or even as a call for jihad against those who would attempt to impose any controls on gun ownership. For many Americans (not for all gun owners but for too many), gun ownership has become just as serious an addiction and as out of control as alcoholism or the abuse of other substances. Addictive personality factors—potential harm to one’s self and others, ... the need for increasing the actual number of lethal objects in one’s possession—all demonstrate co-dependency and an obsessive need for more guns, bigger guns, guns that have no justification outside of military contexts." ... |

"Representative Sally Kern is just thinking of the children, especially the right for them to bear, well, things in the shape of arms. In a funny little piece of legislature proposed by her, it would make it illegal for teachers to punish children for having weapons on their minds and indulging in playtime activities such as drawing a gun, using fingers or hands in the shape of a gun or making gun noises." ...
"Apparently, Kern wants to bring some 'common sense' to the school administrations in Oklahoma. You see, little Timmy ... got in lots of trouble for eating a Pop-Tart so what was left of it resembled a gun and then waving it at a classmate like little thugs do. This bill ... aims to save other children from the same fate." ... |

"Morgantown’s Second Amendment Sports & Defense, LLC, is a no-frills shop that makes the best of its space. Polished handguns fill the glass cases, and an array of rifles hang on the peg walls, all neatly aligned in a row."
"As the sole owner of the store, Gregory Gutta Jr. is one of many passionate West Virginians fervently defending his right to bear arms."
"Sean Dill ... is a friend of Gutta’s and board of directors member for the West Virginia Citizen’s Defense League. Dill’s knowledge of the law is extensive, and he has assisted Gutta with certain logistics, such as the fine line that exists between denying someone a firearm based on a single DUI versus someone with a substance abuse problem." ... |

"Regarding the Jan. 22 letter 'Guns in the modern world,' yet another person displays misunderstanding of the purpose and importance of the Second Amendment."
"The Second Amendment was placed in the Bill of Rights because it is so essential to our ability to protect the rest of our rights and to protect ourselves against all governments, domestic and foreign."
"It guarantees our right of self- protection (for individuals and families). As long as governments and evil people exist, it will always be an essential, relevant right." ... |

"A recent letter asserts that because Michelle Obama is a member of AARP, she is thus engaged in subverting the Constitution, because AARP supposedly endorses tighter controls on gun ownership ('Michelle Obama supports extensive anti-gun agenda,' Page A4, Jan. 25)."
"It is unfortunate that such conspiracy theories aren’t more constructive, such as one which holds that the Chinese invented gun powder anticipating that future enemies (Americans) would become so well-armed that schools would become unsafe and dysfunctional." ... |

"While state officials have championed the success of the year-old New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (NY S.A.F.E. Act) of 2013, local prosecutors have said the measure has had little effect on local law enforcement."
"While some of the bill focused on safety upgrades for schools and keeping guns away from restricted people, many of the points in the 39-page law focused on registering certain semiautomatic weapons, cracking down on magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition and requiring all gun and ammunition buyers to submit to background checks for every purchase." ... |

... "About a week ago ... gun-control activists showed up at the Virginia state Capitol. They were waving little American flags, like the good patriots they are."
"But those patriots were stopped by Capitol Police and barred from entering the building — until they got rid of the little sticks the flags were attached to. ..." ...
"OK. A little paranoid, but still: Safety first. Right?"
"Well, maybe, but wait! Even as the gun-control activists were forced to stop and tear their flags off the sticks, a herd of pro-gun activists were ushered into the Capitol — carrying assault rifles and handguns strapped to their sides."
"Just to be clear, let’s say it again: Little wooden sticks? Too dangerous. Stop right where you are! Assault rifles? Hey guys, come on in!" ... |

"So, it looks like Mexico has finally come full circle on their gun control stance. I’m guessing the history of gun control in Mexico went something like this:"
"Take guns from everyone except the military -> Members of elite military forces take those guns and form powerful drug cartels -> Cartels rule Mexico unopposed for years -> Citizens realize they need guns to fight the cartels -> Citizens begin arming themselves -> Reading the writing on the wall, the Mexican government makes these armed groups legal."
"According to Yahoo News, the Mexican government has basically made these vigilante groups, usually called self defense groups, legal in Mexico." ... |
