"At first I thought the Mom from Moms Demand Action was just being a bitch. When I asked her politely if we could talk for a moment she point blank refused. Tersely. Aggressively. She wouldn’t even tell me her name. This after spending twenty-minutes hanging around with an Al-Jezeera reporter at the back of the crowd at the Alamo gun rights rally, and another ten minutes answering questions on camera for a nationwide TV audience. Checking her dilated pupils and remembering her extremely stilted performance in front of the camera, I backed off . . ." ... |

"I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The AR-15 market is on fire. In my last post I talked about current AR-15 market trends. Long gone are the days of only ABC AR-15 choices, for ARMALITE, Bushmaster or COLT. As of autumn 2013, there are almost countless AR-15 product choices available on the market. Even still, almost daily there seem to be new product offerings, and even new manufacturers popping up in the AR-15 market. You should also notice that more and more, a plethora of AR style rifles are back in stock at your Local Gun Store (LGS). So with such a dizzying array of options, how do you narrow down the field, and make a well informed choice? Ponder this . . ." ... |

"Sticker shock. Anyone who has ever shopped for a car knows what it is. I was somewhat surprised to find out it applies to firearm purchases as well. Fortunately, when I went to buy my first firearm someone was kind enough to warn me that just buying a gun is not the end of what you need. Buying a firearm by itself is like buying a computer without a keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Yes, you now have a computer, but it’s worthless for anything more than an expensive paperweight . . ." ... |

"Importation of M1 Garand rifles and M1 carbines from South Korea would be allowed, under legislation offered by Rep. Cynthia Lummis."
"The Wyoming Republican's legislation stems from an Obama administration decision to reverse its approval of a permit for the weapons that the U.S. provided many years ago to South Korea. Because the rifles had been exported under the authority of the Department of State, the department claimed authority over their importation back into the United States." ... |

"The gun control controversy is only the latest of many issues to be debated almost solely in terms of fixed preconceptions, with little or no examination of hard facts."
"Media discussions of gun control are dominated by two factors: the National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment. But the over-riding factual question is whether gun control laws actually reduce gun crimes in general or murder rates in particular." ... |

"Tired of depressing news? Smile, because here is some very positive news: 50 U.S. Senators—both Democrats and Republicans—have pledged to stop Obama’s latest attack on the Second Amendment."
"Last week, all 50 senators wrote a letter to Obama pledging not to ratify the United Nations’ Arms Trade Treaty. In order for this treaty to be ratified, it would need 60 'yay' votes in the Senate. This means, gun owners will not need to forfeit their God-given right to self-defense and President Obama is on notice that his latest attack on the Second Amendment is dead on arrival in the Senate." ... |

"Judge Richard Posner thinks he can dictate the law to the Chicago Political Machine. Where has Posner been all these years? Doesn’t the judge know how things work in Illinois, and that you can’t fight City Hall?"
"Let me explain to the naive judge what happens next. Chicago politics means you cheat if you ever lose in court. A federal 7th Circuit Court judge named Richard Posner thought the Constitution applied to Illinois and that honest citizens were allowed to carry guns outside their home. Well so what! Someday, you and I might get a permit to carry a firearm in Illinois. By the time the Chicago Machine is done passing laws, it will be illegal to go anywhere in Illinois with a firearm." ... |

"Emily Miller, 'it' girl of the Second Amendment (and author of a lively book about her adventures in exercising her gun rights) brings us another example of inequality under the law, as the D.C. police hand over a pile of confiscated gun parts to a gun-control group for use in a silly demonstration. (They had blacksmiths beating the guns into plowshares outside the National Cathedral.)"
"As Emily writes at the Washington Times, not only is it awfully convenient for the authorities to provide activists with props for their demonstration, it's a blatant violation of the hyper-restrictive gun laws in our nation's capital:" ... |

"Gun rights activists gathered yesterday at the Alamo to protest any and all laws that would prohibit them from openly carrying firearms. The 'Come and Take It San Antonio!' rally broke a longstanding Texas tradition of not using the symbol of its independence as a political prop."
"From 1905 until 2011, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas were the custodians of the Alamo; but in 2011, custodianship was transferred to the state’s General Land office, the commissioner of which, Jerry Patterson, approved of yesterday’s rally. Patterson is currently running for lieutenant governor." ... |

"It might seem like idiocy on steroids, but that’s kinda how our Federal Government operates. Ever thought about helping out a family member by buying them that hunting rifle they’ve been looking at, or that Glock 19 they’ve been talking about getting? Well, prepare for prison if you buy it for them. A well established, and yet often ignored, law that was designed to stop criminals from getting their hands on guns through a third party might actually make more criminals than it catches."
"Anyone here remember the 'Fast and Furious' scandal? Ya know, where the ATF and Department of Justice decided to help straw purchasers walk guns into Mexico for drug cartels? Thousands of guns were handed over ..." ... |

"In taking note of the items put forth by Ms. Richardson, she gave examples of the very high rates of gun violence in cities like Chicago and Washington D.C."
"What she fails to mention is that these cities have the strictest gun laws in the nation, as well as New York City and Herr Nanny Bloomberg’s very strict gun laws, unless you happen to be a cop selling guns on the sly to whomever has the cash for them (sadly several N.Y. officers were convicted of such criminal activities according to the NY times)." ... |

"In fact, the NRA equally abhors gun violence and has long supported the only practical ways to curtail it: strict enforcement of laws punishing gun crimes, effective disclosure of mental health issues, education of citizens (school-age and beyond) in gun safety, and — most recently — armed security for schools." ... |

"Hundreds of gun-rights advocates, many toting rifles and shotguns, gathered early Saturday at the Alamo in San Antonio to rally in support of gun ownership and the right to bear arms."
"The rally, called 'Come and Take It San Antonio,' comes in response to what organizers called San Antonio police's 'disregard for Texas law and The Constitution.' Organizers said the police department has harassed gun owners and created a hostile environment for legal gun ownership."
"Gun-rights proponents flooded a plaza near the historic site -- considered a shrine of Texas liberty since a small band of Texans fought and died in a battle against Mexican forces there in 1836. Many of those gathered carried banners, flags and sundry firearms." ... |
