"A gun-rights group says that Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel bears some responsibility for the murder rate in the Windy City, which now totals 470 homicides this year, because of the strict gun-control laws there."
"'Rahm Emanuel has some blood on his hands,' said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, in a statement. 'He and the city council have done everything possible to prevent law-abiding Chicago residents from exercising their restored Second Amendment rights in the two years since the Supreme Court’s landmark McDonald ruling.'" ... |

... "There’s an old saying and truism 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do,' meaning a visitor should adapt to where he is, and not try to force others to adapt to his foreign ways and customs. A British national and subject of the Queen like Morgan, who enjoys the added privilege of U.S. media visibility, and who abuses his influence to subvert the rights and customs of a culture that has welcomed and rewarded him, will naturally provoke a sentiment asking why he doesn’t go back to where he came from if he doesn’t like it here." ... |

"Fuller, 32, and a house guest went outside to get something from a car when they were confronted by the gunman at about 2:30 a.m. ET . . ."

"The following is chapter two of an upcoming book by Bruce Krafft:"
"Why is the right to self-defense called a fundamental right? The right to defend yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your hearth, home and country most assuredly is a right with which the Creator endowed all people, in fact all living creatures. What is a bee’s sting if not a defensive tool? A cat’s teeth and claws can be used to catch prey but they also are highly effective defensive weapons. I realize that this is a pretty bold claim: that self-defense is a fundamental human right. Are there any court cases or legal opinions on point? In fact, there are . . ." ... |

"Yesterday we discussed sports columnist Jason Whitlock's disgusting assertion that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher's murder of his girlfriend and subsequent suicide are, along with all other murders committed with guns in the United States, the fault of the our nation's gun culture. That, especially when combined with his contention that the Second Amendment has no value in thwarting tyranny, because our government 'of the people' might use nuclear weapons against dissenters, would seem to be as low as Whitlock could take the discussion."
Sadly, he proved yesterday that this was an overly optimistic assessment. ..." ... |

"This week NBC sportscaster Bob Costas took on this role. He complained on the air that if only Jovan Belcher didn't have a gun, the Kansas City Chiefs' linebacker and the woman he killed still would be alive."
"That is the obvious. The same could be said though for incidents involving, for example, people speeding in cars or using chainsaws inappropriately - leading to serious injuries or deaths. We do not outlaw those items." ... |

His ignorant screed denigrating our civil rights following an incident where a Kansas City Chiefs NFL player slayed his wife and then went to the Chief’s training area to thank his coach before doing society a favor and offing himself was offensive enough to America’s one hundred plus million gun owners."

"More than 100 years after God delivered His pistol design to John Moses Browning, the 1911 semi-automatic pistol is still as popular as Moran Atias at a pool party. Not to miss a trick, SIG SAUER is churning out several versions of the venerable handgun. The 1911 Nitron is the gunmaker’s “standard” model (i.e., the one with the fewest bells and whistles). As a SIG fanboy, I had no qualms about exploiting my position at TTAG for some serious trigger time. What I discovered may astound you . . ." ... |

"The first time I held a pump-action shotgun, I hated it. I had decided to take up hunting and I knew exactly nothing about shotguns. When the time came to make my purchase, I walked up and down the gun counter at my local hook-n-bullet store pointing at guns I wanted to try, shouldering them and assessing comfort and fit as if I were shopping for shoes. It wasn’t an entirely silly exercise – I later learned that precise gun fit could lead to greater accuracy and consistency. But my knee-jerk rejection to the pump, it turns out, was unreasonable . . ." ... |

"The day after The Military Arms Channel reviews the FNX-9, FNH USA drops the FNX-45. ... Coincidence? I think not. OK, maybe. ... Anyway, judging from Mac’s opinion of the lastest version of FN’s nine millimeter pistol—previously known as the artist known as the FNP—the .45 caliber version should be da bomb. Like the 9mm, the 15-round .45 is a DA/SA (double action to single action) semi with a heavy-ass DA trigger pull. Which makes the $809 msrp firearm perfectly suitable for trigger-happy New York City cops, Navy SEALS and other HSLD types but not my first choice for an EDC (Everyday Carry). ... FNH is also selling a suppressor and red-dot-ready FNX-45 Tactical. Pic of the Tactical and press release after the jump . . ." ... |

"Redford police say a 31-year-old Redford resident had just withdrawn money from an ATM at Community Choice Credit Union, 25447 Five Mile, when he was approached by two people who demanded he hand over his money. While the robbery suspects merely implied they had a weapon, the bank customer did in fact have one and used it — drawing his legal handgun and firing several shots at the suspects."

"At some point, McLean was left in a restroom while the gunman made the manager open the store safe. That’s when McLean, a 23-year-old Air Force veteran, bolted through a side door and ran to his truck."
"He returned through the front door holding a Glock 40 – pointed directly at the masked robber."

"Bob Costas took time at the end of halftime of Sunday Night Football to offer an opinion based upon the Jovan Belcher tragedy that we should outlaw handguns. Costas would have been a fellow graduate in the class of 1974 at Syracuse University with me, but he chose to drop out. That decision did not impede his success ..."
"There has been no indication Belcher did not possess his gun legally. Costas’ justification is that where domestic violence exists we can save lives from making sure none of the rest of us has handguns. Given the bully pulpit that Costas enjoys, I could relate, on average, at least a dozen weekly incidents where a legal gun owner saved lives by preventing a deadly crime." ... |

"A major defense-spending bill hit an unexpected bump on its journey through the U.S. Senate over an amendment on veterans’ gun rights, which devolved into a heated floor debate and foreshadows a potential battle over Democrats’ vows to tweak the filibuster rules in the clubby, traditionally collegial body."
"Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, wants veterans who have been deemed 'mentally incompetent' to have their cases adjudicated by a judge — rather than the Department of Veterans Affairs, as happens currently — and argued that veterans who simply cannot support themselves financially are needlessly given the label and, as such, cannot buy or possess firearms." ... |

"Not only did they reject his bill, they voted it down by an over 2/3rds majority, 78-28, after Quinn’s political grandstanding amendatory veto was over-ridden last week in the Senate."

To the surprise of no one, in the days and weeks leading up to the change I heard just about every doomsday prediction imaginable regarding the new legislation. Sheriffs and liberal politicians saturated the airwaves with their propaganda ... Blood would flood the streets and that no one would be safe from the wackos that were bound to slither out of the woodwork ... I even talked to a few people here and there who were drinking the Kool-Aid and just knew that we were in for full-blown Armageddon. Now that a month has passed, I’ve noted a shocking development: I haven’t seen a single, solitary gun. Not one . . ." ... |

... "It is indisputable that ready access to a firearm can turn situations that are merely prickly into matters for law enforcement. The recent conviction, for manslaughter, of Trevor Dooley over that playground shooting in Valrico leaps to mind, as does the showdown between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. No matter where you stand on the culpability of the triggermen at the flashpoint, rewind both those incidents to their cool-headed opening moments and take away the guns, maybe the confrontations never happen." ... |
