"Bill O’Reilly is a gun rights advocate like Adi Himelbloy [not shown] is a Jenny Craig spokesperson. It kinda makes sense—until you think about it. Adi is way too sexy for Jenny’s target market and O’Reilly hearts gun control. The Foxenator wants background checks on anyone who even thinks about buying a gun, supports an assault weapons ban and considers firearms training a must. In other words, O’Reilly’s happy to erect 'common sense' barriers for Americans seeking to exercise their allegedly un-infringable Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. Why? Because the Foxpopulist doesn’t trust the people with guns. He believes in gat gatekeepers. In this the anti-spinmeister is hardly alone . . ." ... |

... "Bring up national concealed carry reciprocity, and the anti-self-defense lobby suddenly falls in love with 'states' rights' ... Bring up the Firearms Freedom Act, and they suddenly remember their adoration for a federal government so powerful that it does not even have to find Constitutional justification for any regulation its whims dictate."
"There is no contradiction in arguing that the federal government must be kept on the short leash of the Constitutional limits on its powers, and simultaneously arguing that the Second Amendment's guarantee of the right to both keep and bear arms, incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment ... demands federal protection of that right." ... |

"Every time there is a shooting that involves a high profile individual within minutes there are those that wish to exploit the tragedy and call for increased barriers to gun ownership and question the purpose of gun ownership. Yet when someone uses a gun to subvert a criminal we rarely hear high profile individuals call for increased gun ownership." ... |

"While I was out in the Arizona desert for the Gunsite event, news broke over at Ammoland that ATI is making a 300 AAC Blackout AR-15. CMMG has a similar rifle priced about $100 less, but that one doesn’t include the full length railed handguards. Or the muzzle brake. But why you’d want anything besides an AAC Blackout adapter is beyond me. Oh well, make the jump for the presser…" ... |

"The LG-405 is a compact grip for a compact handgun. It is relatively slim and only as long as the J-Frame grip tang. The grip is comprised of cushioning rubber on the upper back and front strap with hard plastic panels on the sides. The laser module is located at the top of the grip panel on the opposite side as the cylinder latch. There is a very small switch at the base of the grip that can disable the laser." ... |

"As a firearms instructor for the Boy Scouts, I've worked with thousands of kids who were learning to shoot. At Philmont Scout Ranch, in New Mexico, we shot .50 caliber black powder rifles, 12 gauge shotguns, and .30-06 rifles. The emphasis was on bigger guns for older Scouts, but it wasn't always an effective strategy. Sometimes, kids need something a bit less intimidating." ... |

"A lot has been said this week about sportscaster Bob Costas’ comments during halftime of a Sunday night football game."
"Costas, reading from a column by Kansas City sportswriter Jason Whitlock, wondered if Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher hadn't had access to a gun, if he and his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins would still be alive today." ...
"It was truly a tragedy, and Belcher is entirely to blame for it. But what if Whitlock and Costas were right? If the football player didn’t have a handgun, didn’t feel the need to be armed with an instrument used only to cause death, would the event have happened the way it did?" ... |

"Fox News is reporting that gun owners are rushing to buy firearms in light of President Obama's reelection at the same time it promotes the very conspiracies about the president's gun policies triggering those sales."
"A December 6 FoxNews.com article on the firearms 'buying spree' reports that to gun owners, 'Obama's re-election, and the apocalypse -- amount to the same thing' while also credulously quoting the unfounded claim of NRA president David Keene that, 'Obama is coming right at us' and his second term will be 'an all-out assault on the Second Amendment.'" ... |

"By now, you’ve probably heard about Illinois State Senator Donne Trotter’s little run-in with the TSA at O’Hare on Wednesday. Seems the Democrat and state senate appropriations committee chairman he was trying to board a plane for D.C. when a .25 caliber gun and loaded magazine turned up in his bag (would you want to spend much time in D.C. unarmed?). Anyway, while having an announced candidate for Jesse Jackson Jr.’s now vacant US House seat caught in America’s most ungunfriendly city with, yes, a gun tickles our schadenfreude bone something fierce, Trotter’s not the string-up-the-gun-nuts kind of Illinois pol everyone assumes him to be . . ." ... |

"The single major hurdle (other than cost) keeping more people from owning silencers and other fun but NFA-regulated goodies is the wait. When I last called to check on my Form 1 that went pending on October 23rd, they told me that April was the expected turnaround time on that one. Which gave me little hope of seeing the AAC Ti-Rant I JUST mailed the forms for before summer. That is, until I saw this…" ... |

"At first blush, Texas burglary suspect calls 911 on homeowner with gun seems to be a 'funny' defensive gun use (DGU) story. You know, bad guy gets his just deserts with an extra helping of humiliation. A closer look reveals some bad decisions by the homeowners in question. To wit: Mrs. Gerow’s comment to the 911 operator: 'Yeah, hurry up. He [burglar Christopher Lance Moore] says my husband’s fixing to shoot him.' The chances of the Gerows facing blowback for grabbing the burglar’s keys and holding him at gunpoint in the Lone Star State are slim to none, and slim just left town. That said, civil suit. And it should be said . . ."

"Authorities said the suspect on Wednesday walked into the Asian World Market in the 3100 block of Cherokee around 9 a.m. while carrying a white bag."
"Police said he got a gun out and told Sandy Maniphonh, who was working behind the front counter, to put money in the bag."
"Maniphonh said she agreed to give him the money and turned. That’s when she grabbed a gun of her own and tried to shoot the suspect, but it would not discharge because it was locked." ... |

"... Now in Pierce County, an unidentified homeowner defended himself and his 9-year-old son when the two would-be robbers broke in. ..."

"In terms of this state’s self-defense law, the pot-growing homeowner may not face charges for killing the alleged two bad guys. It is legal to defend one’s self and family if necessary with lethal force in cases of imminent and unavoidable danger of grave bodily harm or death ..." ... |

"Bernice Novack was bludgeoned in the teeth and the head with a plumber's wrench. If it weren't for the wrench and the barbells, the Novacks might still be alive today.

"It’s been several nights since Bob Costas openly came out of the closet and proclaimed his anti-gun sentiments. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to see the anger and resentment across the nation his pronouncement during Sunday Night Football has evoked. "
"As Phil Robertson would say, 'I’m happy, happy, happy.'"
"When established 'sports TV stars' prove to the world they can be on the edge of moronic hysteria, it opens the eyes of the gullible public – the average 'Joe' gets to see what’s really going on with some of these anti-Constitutionalists." ... |

... "Because Costas’ remarks have stoked a nation-wide controversy, O’Reilly invited Costas onto his show to clear away the 'confusion.' Taking his cue, Costas led off the interview saying that he knows Americans have a right to bear arms and that he never intended to enter the political debate surrounding this issue." ...
"But rather than set the record straight, Costas only made things worse with several bone-headed or factually inaccurate statements. Rather than clear up the matter, Costas adopted the talking points of several anti-gun 'Brady Bunch' organizations by saying Americans are worse off owning guns, that they don’t typically use them in self-defense, and that Americans need to do something about our dangerous 'gun culture.'" ... |

"A Long Island congressman is urging the renewal of a federal ban on plastic guns that are just as deadly but don’t set off metal detectors."
"Rep. Steve Israel (D-Dix Hills) cited the new possibility of building plastic guns at home using 3-D printers, potentially putting the public at risk. Although printing all of the parts to make a gun at home isn’t currently feasible, he said the technology is advancing to the point that homemade plastic guns could soon become a reality." ... |

"It’s shotgun season in Maryland, when the local hunters put away their silent bows and take to the forests in an exuberant spree of gunfire that sounds like live reporting from the Middle East."
"I always worry a little when the woods start to echo with the deep, throaty booms of the 12 gauges. A single shot every now and then isn’t much of a concern, bespeaking a measured, mature approach of carefully aimed shots at actual, legal game animals."
"It’s when I hear a three- or five-shot barrage, or even more, that I begin to worry. Someone nearby has a fully automatic rifle that sounds off every few months, adding a certain perilous verisimilitude to the usual fall Gaza Strip ambiance." ... |
