MAGPUL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES IT WILL LEAVE COLORADO IF GUN BILL PASSES"

"Reader Bob Colburn saw our post about York Firearms canceling sales to New York state agencies and LEOs and directed our attention to the efforts of John Boch at Guns Save Life to accumulate a list of contacts at some of the larger gun makers and get gun owners to contact them. The goal: persuade the bigger GunCos to follow the path taken by the Olympics and LaRue’s of the world . . ." ... |

"[On Tuesday], Olympic Arms became the latest company to tell the state of New York they were fired as a customer. The dismissal began with a clear enumeration of the firing offense: exceeding the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens and violation of the Constitution of the United States." ... |

"'The nutty notion that a citizen can be heavily enough armed to fight off the government went up in smoke near Big Bear Lake,' George Skelton opines at latimes.com. 'This may sound crazy to most normal people, but there are some obsessed gun owners — although a minority, surely — who believe they need to arm themselves to perhaps combat government oppression.' Skelton proceeds to quote readers’ emails to paint gun owners as deranged right wing racists and proto-terrorists. Which doesn’t really matter because they’ve already lost the argument over the Second Amendment, apparently . . ." ... |

"When gun control advocates want a 'real world' example of civilian disarmament’s benefits they tout the UK. Never mind that The Land of Hope and Glory has the highest violent crime rate in Europe, far higher than the U.S. Never mind that Britain’s subjects are not citizens. That the North Sea islanders don’t have the right to silence or, for that matter, a written constitution protecting any of their natural or God-given rights. The Brits have less firearms-related fatalities than us Yanks so . . . there you go. ..." ... |

"Police in TN believe a 72 year old great-grandmother probably foiled an attempted robbery attempt at a Dollar General store."
"The woman became suspicious when a strange car with two young men inside parked behind her business, adjacent to the Dollar General."
"When the woman confronted the men they tried to approach her and get something out of the car. Following her instincts that something was up, the woman drew her .22 caliber handgun and pointed it at the men, ordering them to put their hands on the car."
"One of the men tried to retrieve something from the car, but the woman fired a warning shot to stop them. When police arrived they found drugs, guns, and clothes meant to conceal the wearer’s identity in the car." ... |

"Politics is the art of the possible and this is one possibility the President and his supporters just can’t let happen. Debbie Halvorson’s a Dem and avid past Obama supporter running for Jessie Jackson, Jr.’s House seat in the gun-free utopia of Chicago (500+ murders in 2012). She’s a former state senator and was a congresscritter for Illinois’ 11th from ’09 to ’11. But despite her past support for the President, there’s a fly in this Mrs. Smith Goes Back to Washington story. Halvorson’s pro-2A and carries an NRA A rating. And she’s said in no uncertain terms that she opposes an assault weapons ban and magazine capacity limits because they won’t do a damned thing to reduce crime. ..." ... |

"Emeryville, CA police chief Ken James, made some worrysome comments earlier this month. The chief says that guns are offensive, not defensive weapons that are carried to intimidate and show power, implying that is why police officers carry guns."

"'A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and show power,' James added. 'Police officers don’t carry a gun as a defensive weapon to defend themselves or their other officers. ...'" ... |

"Here is his direct quote (emphasis mine) from his appearance on Letterman the other day. Video and more after the jump:"
"'Here’s what you do with guns…you federalize all gun crimes, number one. You take it out of the local jurisdiction and state and you federalize it, right? So therefore if you’re caught in a gun crime holding up a 7-11, you get a mandatory 10 years if you’re convicted in a federal pen, on top of whatever Slurpee you stole…The second thing you do is, if you buy a gun, you have to register the gun ..." ... |
