... "On a day of remembrance when Americans of good faith should come together, what must we think of an extremist gun owner, and naturally a life member of the NRA, who would publicly affirm what is being called treason?"
"'Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,' the gun owner asserted."
"'Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country,” he conceded." ... |

"Nationally-known gun rights expert told Guns & Patriots self-defense is a natural right that motivates the public to support the Second Amendment and encourages us to be gun owners."
"'The primary reason people own firearms in the U.S. is for self -defense,' said Tom Gresham, host of 'Gun Talk Radio,' the first nationally syndicated live, radio, talk show covering the world of firearms, personal safety and gun rights."
"In 1995 Gresham started Gun Talk Radio because he wanted to discuss issues outside of the topic of hunting a market he said was not yet developed by news, radio or television. 'When I started the radio show 19 years ago it was the first of its kind; I made sure it was not about hunting.'" ... |

"As President Barack Obama heads to Seattle today — and a fund raiser at the home of a top contributor to an Evergreen State gun control initiative — an op-ed in today’s Denver Post underscores the logic gap between gun owners and gun grabbers."
"The president arrives in Seattle Sunday afternoon, the first stop on a West Coast fund raising tour to build campaign funds for Democrats, whose Obamacare train wreck is theirs to own. He will, according to KOMO, tap wealthy liberals at the north end home of Zumiez co-founder Tom Campion and from there head over to the Medina home of I-594 backer Jon Shirley." ... |

... "Per both the Marine Corps and Army field manuals a proper battlesight zero will allow a Soldier or Marine to engage an enemy threat without adjusting the elevation of their iron sights from point blank range or zero yards/meters out to 300 yards/meters. ... A 300 yard/meter BZO makes sense for most combat situations. However, the Army and Marine Corps differ in how to set a BZO on a rifle or carbine. To add even more confusion numerous well known shooting schools and private trainers teach a different method for placing a proper BZO setting. Additionally, a certain special operations unit advocates and teaches a 100 yard zero. Who is right? Which method is best? Why?" ... |

"All of us know the common phrase to ask when trying to process new information, who, what, when, where, why and how. I have always subconsciously applied this to firearms, but only recently began to understand why it is so important to do. First let me start with my background, I grew up in a farming community and was introduced to firearms at a very young age. I did not buy my first handgun until I was 21 and at that time I was only considering concealed carry. Today I am 26 years old, a firearms instructor and a strong advocate of carrying a firearm all the time . . ." ... |

"The Beretta PX4 Storm is probably the most neglected polymer pistol when it comes to reviews. This is in stark contrast to reviews on Glock pistols which seem to be pouring out endlessly into the Internet and various magazines. This a review on the full size Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm Type F (safety/decocker) . . ."
"At first look, the PX4 Storm seems to be a combination of a Glock 17 and a Beretta 92FS. In truth, the Beretta PX4 Storm is really more or less a polymer version of the Beretta 8000 (the closest current incarnation is the Stoeger Cougar). The look of the pistol is really striking. It is one of those designs that people either love or hate. For my eyes the Beretta PX4 Storm is the most beautiful polymer pistol ever produced. ..." ... |

"The Second Amendment says we all can own a gun. The U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed it."
"But that doesn't give us the right to leave loaded guns where children can find and play with them when we're not around."
"That can be deadly. In the past month, that tragic lesson was driven home twice in Fayetteville. On Oct. 20, 2-year-old Samarri Tyana Beauford died when she pulled the trigger of a pistol she found under a couch in her home. On Nov. 16, 4-year-old Killian Perez shot himself to death with a loaded handgun he found on top of a refrigerator." ...
-------
Submitter's Note: FYI, between 2006 and 2010 (the most recent figures available) we averaged 50.8 children (0 - 13) accidentally killed with a firearm. In that same period and age group there were 702.2 accidental drownings per year. |

"House Bill 203, according to its supporters, strengthens Second Amendment rights and broadens the concept of self-defense to enable potential victims of violent crime to protect themselves."
"'A person facing a life-threatening situation should not have a duty to flee and hope for the best,' said State Rep. Terry Johnson, 'They should have the right to protect themselves and protect their loved ones.'"
"House Bill 203 drops the 'duty to retreat' requirement in the present law ..."
"Opponents of the measure say that could invite deadly consequences, providing a rationale for 'Shoot first, ask questions later' actions. State Rep. Alicia Reece dubbed the proposal 'kill at will.'" ...

"Author Malcolm Gladwell has a new bestseller that turns conventional wisdom about the Biblical David vs. Goliath battle on its head: “David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants.” In short, it’s Goliath who really had the odds stacked against him from the get-go. The overconfident giant with poor eyesight, weighted down with heavy armor and multiple swords, never had a chance against lean, nimble, sharp-shooting expert David."

There have been some recent posts on your site about mental health, including yesterday’s Quote of the Day (Certain Kinds of People Edition) that finally inspired me to write to you and tell you my story. There has to be some attention brought to this subject. It seems that many 'pro gunners' are willing to compromise our 2nd amendment rights away in regard to mental health laws. Its an attitude of we’ll let you do this if only you don’t pass more gun laws. I’m extremely disappointed that even the NRA are among those pursuing this . . ." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
