"Given the state in which we find our nation of late, it might seem difficult for a liberty loving patriot to think of much for which to be thankful. The fact remains, though, that things could be worse--vastly worse (and, admittedly, might still get vastly worse). One of the main reasons that the 'vastly worse' scenario has not yet become reality is that government officials cannot count on their own impunity--cannot rely on the notion that there is no line that they cannot cross without facing very personal consequences, courtesy of an angry--and armed--citizenry." ... |

"Since the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed in two recent cases that the right to carry firearms under the Second Amendment applies to individuals, a multitude of local gun-control ordinances have been overturned, modified or dropped."
"Now, a new argument prepared by three legal experts goes further, arguing that the Second Amendment’s protection of 'arms' includes knives as well."
"The recent landmark Heller and McDonald case precedents could now be used against many local restrictions on carrying knives, the authors say." ... |

"Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely seen the incredible progress Solid Concepts made with their working, 3D printed 1911. I bet you watched all of Cody Wilson’s printing antics and the horror they elicited among the anti-gun community. But you may not have considered some of the greatest threats to the future of printing firearms. If you look in your safe, you’ll see their names printed all over your favorite firearms . . ." ... |

"When you’re handloading ammunition, there has never really been a good way to check that all of the dimensions are correct. Sure you can grab your calipers and check every dimension of every finished round, but that’s time consuming and inefficient. Especially when you’re slicing up existing 5.56 brass into 300 BLK brass, you want to be doubly sure that your handloads will fit perfectly in the chamber without any issues. That’s where something like this slot gauge comes in handy, from Sheridan Engineering . . ." ... |

"Don’t be too quick to go negative on Illinois businesses who have posted 'No Guns' signage."
"If it’s like the case in North Carolina, as reported by Sean D. Sorrentino at the North Carolina Gun Blog, it may be simply a case of gun hating bigots who have unilaterally decided to post their 'favorite' businesses without the business owner’s knowledge or consent. As Sean describes it: 'Apparently the gun haters have decided that since they can’t convince business owners to post anti-gun signs, maybe they should post the signs themselves.'"
"'No Guns' signage in North Carolina carries the force of law, as it does here in Illinois."

"Newtown, those directly affected by the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, deserve the nation’s condolences for the children and teachers killed."
"Then we need to begin admitting more difficult truths."
"In the 12 months since that awful morning, virtually nothing substantial has been accomplished to address the nation’s gluttony for gun violence.

"After having banned concealed carry in all of their stadiums, and even ordering women to give up their purse in favor of see-through plastic bags, (don’t ya feel safer now?) the NFL has accelerated its war on gun ownership and the Second Amendment by trampling on the First Amendment. The League has refused to air a commercial for Daniel Defense in the 2014 Super Bowl on grounds that the weapons manufacturer violates the NFL regulations for 'prohibited advertising categories'. Their rejection, however, appears rooted in political activism, rather than strict adherence to long standing advertising rules." ... |

This is a story which actually cropped up earlier in the week, but we missed it during the holiday break. It’s being reported at Guns & Ammo that Daniel Defense submitted an advertisement to be run during this year’s Super Bowl, but it was rejected out of hand (twice) by the league for being in violation of their rules regarding content which is deemed too offensive and on their prohibited advertising categories list.

"The General Assembly believes so strongly in the Second Amendment — the right to keep and bear arms — that it won’t let law-abiding Ohioans carry firearms in the Statehouse. Most other places, almost anything goes."
"So, no surprise, Ohio’s House has passed Substitute House Bill 203, which further loosens Ohio’s concealed-weapons law. In due course, the bill will become law. As soon as it does, the handgun lobby will do what it always does: come back for more."
"The House passed the bill over strong objections from the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus. The caucus believes ... that House Bill 203 is 'Ohio’s version of the recently criticized (Florida) 'Stand Your Ground' law.'" ... |

"The 76-year-old woman, Dorothy Hendrix, proved to be tough as nails as she shot it out with the trio of scumbags, shooting one before succumbing to her wounds. Sadly, she didn’t fatally perforate all three low-class pieces of human debris who tried to rob her, according to reports in the UK Daily Mail."

The Act—a clear infringement on Americans’ natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms—was a hysterical response to the GLOCK 17. Gun control advocates wrongly accused Gaston’s polymer handiwork of being undetectable by metal detectors. There ought to be a law! And so one was proposed. The NRA caved. ..." ... |

"New Hampshire’s strong Second Amendment support helped push a 'Stand Your Ground' law over a governor’s veto, but a pair of bills limiting access to guns when mental health problems arise could test the state’s entrenched belief in unfettered gun rights."
"The bills will be considered next year in the aftermath of deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and the Washington Navy Yard. They are among perhaps a dozen or more gun control-related bills ranging from banning assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines to forbidding such a ban if passed by Congress." ... |

The case is one of those that people point to as showing the insanity of current law. Rico Webb, a 22-year-old man with no criminal record, was in his girl friend’s car when it was stopped for a broken tail light. He had possession of a legal handgun and he told police that he had a 'blunt' (small cigar with marijuana filler) in his backpack . . ." ... |

"Since Democrats in the Colorado Legislature – with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s blessing – took up gun-control measures in the 2013 session, opponents of the effort have deployed a multivariate response that has left two Colorado legislators recalled from their offices, triggered a third to resign and placed the vast majority of Colorado county sheriffs at legal odds with the state. In that last venue – a lawsuit brought by the sheriffs and others alleging that measures limiting magazine size to 15 rounds and requiring universal background checks on all gun purchases violate Second Amendment protections – a judge has winnowed the issues to their core by ruling that the sheriffs lack standing to sue the state en masse. ..." ... |

An acoustic detections system in Washington DC detected its 39,000th shooting event in the district.. and the system only covers a third of the city. Many 'events' have multiple shots fired.

"Lately the Sun Sentinel has been posting letters of extreme-right writers on how President Obama will either bring this country to ruin if not immediately impeached, or at the very least infringe on our Second Amendment rights. The latest letter of hysteria — 'Defund the EPA,' because it's forcing the closure of a lead smelting plant in Missouri — leads us to believe that this will cause a shortage of ammo in the U.S."
"The claim is false because bullets in the U.S. are made from recycled sources of lead, mostly car batteries, and therefore the closure of this plant ... will have little or no effect on the ammunition industry. Once again, the right-wing bloggers are doing what they do best, creating hysteria about a non-issue." ... |

"As thousands of deer hunters headed into the woods during the two-week firearm season with hopes of landing a trophy buck, Tami Pullen had a much more important and modest goal – that they would emerge alive and uninjured."
"But Pullen, a conservation officer for the Michigan Department of Resources, knew that safety training and reminders about weapon handling couldn’t guarantee that would happen."
"And in at least four instances, it didn’t."
"The state agency reported that one man was killed and three injured from self-inflicted accidental weapons-related wounds. State data show the mishaps are typical for the hunting season, but the figures also reveal that injuries and death may not be as common as public perception." ... |
