We live in a dangerous world. For the 70,000 officers at Homeland Security and the 40,000 officers within the Department of Justice, proper training and equipment are vital to their daily law enforcement duties. Over a nearly two-year period - the last years of the Obama administration (FY2015 - FY2016), these law enforcement agencies spent $138 million on new guns and ammunition. That seems reasonable.

Why (almost) No One is Charged With Gun-Trafficking in Illinois Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://libertyparkpress.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
To understand why its so hard to stop the flow of guns across state lines to cities like Chicago, you have to start with a simple fact: Firearms are legal. As the Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly, most American adults are allowed to have them. That means millions of people can acquire guns legally and are potential sources of guns that might later be stolen or illegally sold, traded or loaned.

The question dominating news today is whether gun control works, and if not, why not. To address this dilemma its first necessary to examine its premise and define terms. Gun control is premised on the notion that people commit violent crimes because of the existence of firearms, and because people have access to them. Some assume that limiting both will significantly reduce violent crime. Both the premise and assumption are badly flawed.

Erik Paulsen, who usually votes against additional restrictions on the sale of firearms, is drawing criticism from Minnesota gun control opponents by co-sponsoring legislation to ban a device that allows semi-automatic rifles to fire at the rate of machine guns. mPaulsen, a Republican, has added his name to a proposal in Congress to ban the sale, manufacture and use of the devices known as bump stocks. The gunman in the deadly Las Vegas shooting this month used bump stocks as he fired on a crowd near Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 58 and injuring hundreds more in the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.

Getting shot didnt initially stop a South Carolina man from making more trouble, but it eventually did. The agitators spree started in Lexington, S.C., when he threatened people with a pressure washer. One of the would-be victims was having none of that, so he responded by shooting the mischief-maker in the chest. The rabble-rouser fled after being wounded, intent on making a getaway before the people he had allegedly threatened called the police. As the bad guy staggered down the street, passersby in a pickup truck stopped to see if he needed help. The assailant showed his gratitude by reportedly punching a female passenger in the face and dragging her out of the truck.

If your dream of owning a stun gun has been thwarted by the states decades-long ban, youre in luck: Thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, New Jersey residents will soon be free to buy the devices for the first time since 1985. There are a few caveats to the new rules, for which the public comment period ends Sunday. Minors cant buy a stun gun, nor can felons or the mentally ill. But otherwise, its open season.
