"The Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association has announced Starline Brass and Barbara Hayden, president and CEO of Starline Brass, have been inducted into the CMSA Hall of Fame."
"From the earliest days of Cowboy Mounted Shooting, Starline Brass has been a great supporter of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association. Hayden realized early on that Cowboy Mounted Shooting would be a great vehicle for the enhancement of the shooting sports industry. CMSA’s core values as a family based sport would project an image that would be a benefit in the fight to retain gun ownership and help protect second amendment rights." ... |

"Over the last couple years, there has been no bigger influence on the firearms market than the emerging sport of 3-gun shooting. As the number of participants has skyrocketed, so too has the number of rifle manufacturers producing firearms to feed that voracious market. Everyone and their brother has a rifle optimized for 3-gun shooting these days, and figuring out which rifle manufacturers have got their heads screwed on straight and actually understand the challenges of the sport can be a challenge. Adams Arms recently introduced a line of rifles specifically designed for 3-gun shooting, and they sent one to me to test out." ... |

"Magpul is without a doubt one of the most recognizable and widely admired brands in the firearms industry. Just about everyone uses their products ... and they have done more to change the look and feel of AR-15 rifles than any other company in the last decade. When Colorado’s legislature went off the deep end in the post-Sandy Hook legislative fervor, Magpul announced that they would be pulling up stakes and leaving their home state for good. They wanted to show the legislature that their actions had real and lasting consequences, and Magpul is making good on that promise. Now, word comes that Magpul has finally decided on a new home for their corporate headquarters as well as a home base for manufacturing: Austin, Texas." ... |

... "Cognitive dissonance is relevant to various self-styled champions of the Second Amendment because most of them should suffer from it in a form both acute and obvious. The Second Amendment provides that '[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed'. The exponents of the Amendment to whom I refer volubly promote its last fourteen words, without saying much of anything about the first thirteen. Indeed, they often try to distance themselves from anything with even a tangential connection to any conception of “militia”. Even as they profess their belief in the Second Amendment, they consign half of it to oblivion. ..." ... |

"Here’s the first sentence of the National Bar Association press release on the Ferguson Grand Jury decision:""... The National Bar Association is questioning how the Grand Jury, considering the evidence before them, could reach the conclusion that Darren Wilson should not be indicted and tried for the shooting death of Michael Brown." "Who is the National Bar Association?"
"They hold themselves out as the 'black' version of the American Bar Association ..."
How, you ask, in spite of a mountain of damning evidence against ... Brown and exonerating cop Darren Wilson, could the National Bar Association question the decision?"
Thanks to an attorney in St. Louis posting a comment at the [TTAG], we have much of the answer:" ... |

According to the New York Daily News, the incident occurred at the family’s Edmonds, Washington, home at 3:15 a.m. on Thursday.

... "On November 18, 2014 at 9:30 p.m., the suspects knocked on the victims' door. When the husband answered the door, the men forced their way in. The wife was in the bathtub, and the suspects pulled her out. The attackers tied up the couple and ransacked the house. At some point, the suspects went outside and the husband was able to free himself. He locked the front door and untied his wife. The couple retreated to their bedroom and the husband retrieved his handgun from his lockbox. As the attackers were forcing their way back into the home, they fired a gunshot. Once back inside, the attackers went into the bedroom. The husband fired at them, striking Vorhees twice, once in the abdomen and once in the leg. The attackers fled." ... |

... "Make the decision now. At what point will you resist? I have made my decision. If the criminal tries to put me under restraint, I will fight. Pick your moment for optimum resistance. ..." ..."He said a pair of men came into the shop at about 3:30 p.m., took a couple of hundred dollars out of the safe, and then tried to force him and another employee to the back of the bakery. That’s when the shop owner fired the weapon, striking one of the robbers."
"'They had the money already, why would they ask us to go to the back,' the owner said. 'It just didn’t feel right, everything happened so fast.'" "The baker acted quickly and decisively. ..." ... |

"'The Los Angeles City Council tentatively approved a measure to require electronic tracking of ammunition sales, and considered a second gun control measure,' abc7.com reports, preparing to get out the bloody shirt wavers. 'In an effort to keep tabs on who is buying bullets in the city of Los Angeles, the city council approved an ordinance that requires gun stores and dealers to automatically email the LAPD after each sale of ammunition.' LAPD Captain Charles Hearn reckons that’s OK because dealers already keep logs of ammo sales. This just makes it easier to…you know. Be proactive! So what’s the second measure? Bringing itself in line with all of Massachusetts . . ." ... |

Hunters say they are responsible people engaged in a sport that's highly regulated. They say a Green agenda is driving opposition to HuntFest.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
