... "We seldom see a middle ground in public violence. In one case, the murderer kills at will until police finally arrive to stop him. In the other case, the murderer’s attack is cut short by a good man on the scene who has a gun. There is a difference between this and simple self-defense. The key distinctions are that there were many potential victims, and a good man with a gun stopped the event before many were injured. ... 80 percent more people will live if a good man with a gun is at the scene of the attack. This is what these brave men and women accomplished." ... |

"The accused claims that the police are 'off their heads,' and that the parts were not gun components, but were from the printer itself (an assertion that appears to be supported by fact), which he uses to make items for decorating cakes (British gangs must be somewhat . . . different from what we are accustomed to in the U.S.)."
"... the fact remains that 3-D printing is poised to render Britain's gun laws--some of the most draconian in the world--powerless to protect the 'government monopoly on force' so beloved of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and forcible citizen disarmament-crazed politicians." ... |

However, it also shows that both sides in the gun control debate have their work cut out for them in the days ahead." ... |

"After reading Leslie Kelly’s 'Lies in the Sand: A Look Behind The Alamo Gun Rally,' I must ask, just which rally and march at the Alamo did Leslie Kelly attend? Her description bore little resemblance to the one I spoke at. From the column she filed for The Rivard Report you’d have thought it was a combination Klan rally and conspiracy theorist convention."
"Now I’m only personally familiar with a few real conspiracies, among them the bloody Fast and Furious scandal ...

The guilty ATF agents and the DOJ cover-up artists who abetted them have yet to punished." ... |

"Dr. Paul Gallant and Dr. Joanne D. Eisen write (courtesy Ammoland.com):"
"The UK has been at the vanguard of international efforts to secure an Arms Trade Treaty in the United Nations since co-authoring the original UN Resolution in 2006. Under former foreign secretary Jack Straw, the UK pressed for a 'strong' treaty which equated human rights with weapons control. Yet the combination of total government control of handgun ownership, combined with the hands-off treatment of criminals has backfired. It must be embarrassing for British firearm-prohibitionists to see their philosophy failing in their own backyard, especially in view of their intense desire to export that philosophy to other nations around the globe . . ." ... |
