"Dave Weigel has a typically vivid piece about what the Knob Creek machine gun shoot was like this year, capturing the mix of gunnies, gawkers, conspiracy nuts, and folks looking for cheap ammo. Arguably, the profile of the audience at Knob Creek is newsworthy because a good chunk of the people here form the Republican base. The most revealing part of Weigel's article comes at the beginning, when one of the organizers says 'we' almost won the last election. (The speaker should have been reminded that McCain supported closing the 'gun show loophole.') Attendees at Knob Creek were overwhelmingly McCain voters and Bush/Cheney stickers could still be seen on the backs of trucks" ... |

"A newly released Gallup Poll shows that public support for more restrictive gun laws has fallen to its lowest level in the nearly 20 years that Gallup has tracked the issue. Additionally, the poll shows that support for an outright handgun ban is at its lowest in the nearly 5 decades that Gallup has polled that issue." ...
"As might be expected, the Brady Campaign is not happy. The first objection is that the poll was taken before the recent atrocities committed with firearms, and thus doesn't reflect whatever temporary boost for public support of more restrictive gun laws that such events sometimes provide (emphasis in original)." ... |

"John Browning’s Model 1911 pistol, an engineering wonder for its day, still serves as a design platform for much modern pistolsmithing. Old examples, especially with military markings, are now highly prized on the collector market, where they can bring hundreds or even thousands of dollars each."
"Yet ... early in the Clinton administration, the politicians declared our government would no longer sell into the civilian after-market pistols being retired from military armories."
"Instead ... the government had resumed ... shredding of 'obsolete' firearms ..."
"... 'Even assuming an unrealistically low value of $200 per gun, more than $60 million of historic collectibles has been reduced to worthless scrap.'" ...
"Now it’s 2009. A new Democratic administration is finally back in power. And guess what? This time they tried for the brass ring." ... |

"I read with interest and disdain Noreen O'Donnell's April 6 column, 'We must find a way to stop gun violence.' (The column criticized National Rifle Association efforts to oppose "common-sense" laws aimed at stemming gun deaths. - Editor.)"
"Her statements echo the same feelings of the gun owner as it concerns the lunatics who perpetrated these unnecessary horriffic killings around the country. It is for this reason that we must allow the presence of guns in and around our society! Were there someone who was in posession of a weapon legally, they might just have been able to stop the recent carnage well before they came to their final toll. ..." ... |

"Again, the media shouts for more 'sensible' (translation: confiscatory) gun laws. It seems to me that today's gun laws are somewhat too effective. The Long Island Rail Road shooting, Virginia Tech, Binghamton; in each case, the only person with a gun was the perpetrator, someone undeterred by gun possession laws. Apparently, the only thing these laws accomplish is to render the victims helpless, hoping the police will arrive before it is their turn to be killed."
"The rationale is that these new laws will make it impossible for the 'perp' to obtain the weapon of his choice, just as it is now impossible to obtain marijuana, cocaine, etc. ... If there is a demand, there will be a supply, but not, of course, for the law-abiding citizenry." ... |

"In yesterday's 'Zeitgeist' column, 'Welcome to the gun show,' Josh Baker argues that the Second Amendment to the Constitution 'specifically mentions the maintenance of a well-regulated militia as the reason for the [amendment's] existence.' He argues that the right to bear arms is one granted to military forces, but not to the general public. Well, no. Read the words ... Note that the word 'militia' is not the same as 'people.' If the authors of the amendment had wanted to ensure a strong military, then the amendment would read, 'A well regulated militia ... the right of the militia to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.' The amendment uses two different words, the people and the militia, for a reason ..." ... |

"The rash of recent shooting incidents has led people who wouldn't know an AK-47 from a paintball gun to issue demands for more restrictions on guns. To be sure, it's hard to find any factor in these shootings that could be responsible -- other than the gun."
"So far, this year's public multiple shootings were committed by:"
"-- Richard Poplawski, 23, product of a broken family, expelled from high school and dishonorably discharged from the Marines, who killed three policemen in Pittsburgh."
"-- Former crack addict Jiverly Wong, 41, who told co-workers 'America sucks' ... who blockaded his victims in a civic center in Binghamton, N.Y., and shot as many people as he could, before killing himself." ... |

"Over the last several days, the nation has witnessed several instances of extremely brutal gun violence, all of which may well have been prevented with more stringent gun control legislation. In Binghamton, N.Y., 41-year-old Jiverly Wong blocked the rear entrance of the American Civic Association immigrant center with his car on Friday, effectively eliminating any escape route. He then entered the building through the front door armed with two handguns and proceeded to kill 14 people, himself included, before police could arrive on the scene. In Carthage, N.C., 45-year-old Robert Stewart entered a nursing home where his estranged wife works and killed eight people ... before being shot and disabled ..." ... |

"The man who gunned down 13 people at an upstate New York immigration center fired 98 shots from two handguns in a little more than a minute, police said Wednesday, a gunslinging feat one expert said would make him a 'new Rambo.'"
"Gun control advocates said if a man who complained about not getting enough in unemployment benefits could afford enough ammunition to repeatedly practice shooting and go into his killing zone with a satchel of bullets around his neck, new ways are needed to stem gun violence, including raising the price of ammunition."
"Ballistics reports showed Jiverly Wong fired 87 times from a 9mm Beretta and 11 times from a .45-caliber handgun. ..." ... |

"The current verbal slugfest over gun rights and responsibilities versus public safety has brought the Second Amendment squarely into the spotlight, but at the same time, many are wondering whether those who make their living courtesy of the First Amendment are not exploiting one constitutionally-protected right to crush another."
"The war against gun rights in the press is nothing new. The late Thomas Winship, former editor of the anti-gun Boston Globe and a columnist in Editor and Publisher, once authored a column in the latter publication that was headlined 'Step up the war against guns'” In his diatribe – for that is what it was – Winship encouraged his press colleagues to engage in 'a sustained newspaper crusade.' ..." ... |

"A recent MSNBC article claims that the mass shootings appearing in the national news over the last month have been committed by people who were issued 'gun permits,' which it claims means that they were each 'legally entitled to fire his weapons'"
"So much for media objectivity. The murderers were not 'legally entitled to fire' their weapons. What the media is attempting to do by making such a ridiculous assertion is to create an image in the mind of the reader, and, in this case, the image is of a license to kill." ...
"The article fails to live up to the dubious claim in its title, however."
"Of the shootings recently, the body of the article gives only one lone example of a murderer with a 'gun permit.'" ... |

It will soon be the 10th anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High School and the second anniversary of the mass shootings at Virginia Tech. In the last month, multiple shootings have claimed the lives of more than 50 Americans."

"You can read their announcement here, but I worry how faithful the show will be to America by what questions it plans to explore and what it leaves out. What would you really like to know about the issue of gun control? it might be better to understand what one needs to know about Liberty."
"Liberty purists often say that if only one person were armed at such-and-such a mass shooting, the situation would have turned out much better. This observation is made because so many jurisdictions refuse honest citizens their carrying of their handguns wherever they have a right to be. Murderers know this, find the location to be as advertised -- totally defenseless -- and proceed unfettered. ..." ... |

"That's one finding in a year-long investigation by ABC News' David Muir and Diane Sawyer in a special report, 'If Only I Had a Gun,' airing Friday at 10 p.m."
"For the piece, Muir set up a test in which college-age youths were invited to help pack up the contents of a garage for extra cash."
"'They come across a couple of guns and we're rolling,' Muir told the Daily News." ...
"Two years after a massacre at Virginia Tech and numerous other school shootings, the kids went for the guns. ..."

"A dirty little secret gun control advocates avoid mentioning is that many gun laws have racist origins. In southern states, some date to reconstruction and ensuing decades of racial unrest as whites passed 'Jim Crow' laws to segregate southern states and limit the ability of blacks to vote and hold elected office."
"One example thoroughly documented by David Kopel ... were laws designed to disarm blacks 'cloaked in neutral, non-racial terms,' such as Tennessee, which adopted its 'Army and Navy' law barring handguns except the 'Army and Navy' revolvers commonly possessed by ex-confederate soldiers. Cheaper guns which cash-poor 'freedmen' could afford were prohibited. ..." ... |

"Range protection is a hot topic these days and it's becoming more important every day. Urban sprawl continues to envelope ranges and traditional shooting areas, pushing shooters farther and farther out to engage in their sport and training. Developers build houses closer and closer to established ranges and soon the new residents are complaining about the noise. While much of the emphasis in range protection has been focused on passing laws shielding ranges from noise complaints, such laws only provide limited protection and can give ranges a false sense of security. Noise is just the tip of the iceberg and ranges need to guard against the mountain hiding beneath the surface." ... |
