"The Obama administration 'is seeking advice and consent' for Senate ratification of an international small arms treaty, and also supports the inclusion of small arms in the UN Register of Conventional Arms, the [CCRKBA] learned today."
"The disclosure is found in the text of a statement to the First Committee of the 66th session of the UN General Assembly, delivered by Laura E. Kennedy, the permanent United States representative to the Conference on Disarmament. CCRKBA obtained a copy of the statement." ...

... "So he is already a police chief (albeit in tiny Alorton, IL)--and, supposedly, a felon. The article goes on, incredibly, to say that Baxton has worked in law enforcement since 1982--the same year, apparently, that he was convicted." ...
"So apparently, this is the situation in Illinois: private citizens cannot legally carry a defensive firearm in public; felons can become police chiefs (but if they were not 'Only Ones,' could not legally buy so much as a single round of ammunition or a Taser); and in jurisdictions like East St. Louis, a police department that was already unable to effectively rein in crime is further depleted with strikes and lay-offs." ... |

Iowa National Guard Unit Watches Predator One Too Many Times, Makes Jesse Ventura’s Ammo Backpack

"Who doesn’t love Predator? Two juiced up governors-to-be on screen simultaneously throwing lead at a common enemy and taking out bad guys. Its a typical late-80s action film, but the reason that it always stuck in my mind was Governor Ventura’s handheld M134 minigun. Nevermind that (if real) the weapon would only have enough ammunition for less than 5 seconds of firing, I thought it was a great concept. Apparently an Iowa National Guard unit (1st Battalion, 133rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, Iowa National Guard) thought so too, and that’s why they built one."
"Well, not the whole thing — the minigun is impractical. The ammunition backpack, on the other hand, is genius." ... |

"Hype. It’s a word synonymous with 10mm Auto. Developed by Col. Jeff Cooper, carried by Sonny Crockett, known in the firearms fraternity as 'the cartridge the FBI couldn’t handle,' 10mm Auto has achieved near mythological status. If everything on the interwebz is to be believed (tip: it’s not) the 10mm auto was so powerful it was putting petite FBI agents on disability. To separate fact from friction [sic], I contacted Glock to get a full-size G20, deep diving into the veiled world of 10mm auto aficionados. First things first . . ." ... |

"The shooters at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot run through hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition every year. Which is great for ammunition companies, but poses a slight problem for the shooters: how do you take loose or clipped ammunition and put it in belts? If it were one or two belts doing it by hand might not be an issue, but when volume is the name of the game it seems like the MG shooters turn to some interesting mechanical devices to do the dirty work for them." ... |

... "If the legislation passes and public safety is compromised as a result, it could spell even more restrictions on concealed weapons and stricter gun control measures than currently exist in most jurisdictions. Conservatives and liberals alike should also recognize the clear impingement on states’ rights, questions of constitutionality and the clear and present danger this bill poses to law enforcement and the general public. 'We believe it’s dangerous for law enforcement and their ability to deter criminals, and would encourage gun trafficking,' [Boston mayor Menino's spokesman Jake] Sullivan said." ...

"It’s been nine months since the Tucson shooting, in which the U.S. Congress almost lost one of its own – Rep. Gabrielle Giffords – to gunfire. And how has the Congress responded to the shooting that so gravely wounded Rep. Giffords, while ending six innocent lives, including that of a nine-year-old girl, and injuring twelve others?"
"The House Judiciary Committee next week likely will report out a bill, H.R. 822, that will make it possible for dangerous people like the Tucson shooter to legally carry concealed weapons in virtually every state in the nation. The Senate may take up similar legislation any day now, in the form of an Appropriations Amendment." ...

KABA Note: Here's a shocker, Denny lies throughout this piece. Just one example, he claims that "[u]nder this legislation, if someone with a Virginia concealed carry permit were caught armed and intoxicated in Tennessee, the State would be powerless to arrest him for gun possession while under the influence". But the law says: "The possession or carrying of a concealed handgun in a State under this section shall be subject to the same conditions and limitations, except as to eligibility to possess or carry, imposed by or under Federal or State law ..."

"One might be drawn to the conclusion that the real objective of this program had nothing whatsoever to do with gun-running to the cartels, but was instead intended to establish that American gun dealers (most of whom objected to supporting this program) were irresponsible in selling guns to notorious criminal elements. That is the only excuse for actually letting the guns cross the border into Mexico to kill people. This program was not about taking down the cartels; it seems like it was more about building the justification for a campaign to restrict gun rights in the United States." ... |

1) Who are cool-headed enough to obey the law and not bring guns to their meeting.
2) Who, are hot-tempered enough that if they had a gun at a meeting would be willing to commit murder.
3) Who are cool-headed enough that if they go to a meeting unarmed, lose their temper and decide to kill someone and go home to get their gun will, upon arriving home, say to themselves "You know I think I'll just make myself a sandwich instead of going back and shooting up City Hall."

... "In a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Schneiderman today wrote that the bill ... would restrict New York State’s ability to control who may and may not carry a concealed weapon in all or parts of the State, undermine the ability of police to verify the validity of gun permits, and allow gun traffickers to more easily bring illegal guns into the State."
