Last month, we saw thousands hit the streets and call for gun control in the March For Our Lives. Now, gun owners say it’s their turn. Pro-gun rallies will be held across the country Saturday, including in Olympia. There are more than 50 rallies planned for tomorrow, most at state capitols. Some states will see rallies at both their capitols and in other cities. At least three are planned in Utah, where some state lawmakers are expected to speak. Some expect hundreds to attend, others thousands.

The ingredients for the delicious and controversial gumbo recipe are the best part of another Twitter whining session from quasi-celebrity anti-firearm extremists, who pawn themselves off as entertainers.
-Start with a posting of a nice looking college coded posing in a Trump shirt and a gun in her waistband for a well-deserved graduation photo. (Makes me wish I was 20 years younger.)
-Add the obligatory and jealous social media attacks from talentless hacks against the young woman and with absolutely no consequences and a good summary of the stream of unconsciousness from Twitchy. |

U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford pledged Saturday to introduce a federal measure to expand the time allotted for background checks on gun purchases from three to five days. The promise came during a two-hour town hall meeting at Burke High School where a group of students from Academic Magnet High School and other local residents grilled Sanford on gun policy in a town hall format. Topics ranged from the banning of guns like the AR-15, to whether he'd continue to accept campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association. |

It was supposed to be the dawn of a new era of “smart guns.”
Spurred by the deaths of 20 young children in the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, Silicon Valley set out to make safer, technologically advanced weapons that could only be fired by their owners. Venture-capital luminary Ron Conway, known for his early investments in Google GOOGL, -0.12% and PayPal PYPL, -0.25% , led the charge, raising millions for grants aimed at jump-starting the smart-gun industry. |

While Massachusetts citizens and police are mourning the slaying of a 32-year-old Yarmouth police officer Thursday, one fact that seems to have been overlooked is that it amounts to a monumental failure of that state’s court system and restrictive gun control laws.
The suspect in this case is identified as Thomas Latanowich, whose criminal history reportedly includes more than 100 charges – many related to gun law violations – and a stretch in prison. He allegedly shot Officer Sean Gannon and his K-9 partner when the officer was attempting to serve a warrant. |

Well over 100 people showed up to a march in Mercer County on Sunday in support of the Second Amendment. Ryan Hoffman and Mark Kasoirek had been organizing the event for the past two weeks. The say showing support for gun owners and the Second Amendment is needed in order to prove that people who own guns are good people. "Our rights are under attack right now. The Second Amendment is an amendment, it should stand as it is. If we lose the Second Amendment, what's next? The First?" Kasoirek said. |

Surprise, surprise. Another gun control advocate has misconstrued a tragic event to drum up support for a ban on semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., either doesn’t care about the facts or will use any tragedy to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. Such was the case recently when Nelson used a gang-related retaliatory murder in Liberty City, Fla. to blame an “assault weapon,” even though the shooting was committed with a handgun. |

The rifle I used was a Dakota Model 76 Traveler. This is a takedown version of Dakota’s African grade rifle. The controlled-round-feed action runs smooth and fast. The rifle is sub-MOA accurate and the stock design helps to mitigate recoil for fast follow-up shots. If I were to set out to design the ultimate dangerous-game rifle, this is where I would end up. It’s good looking, too! MSRP: $7,240; dakotaarms.com.

Two of its competitors, Bank of America and Citi, have taken a step away from the gun industry since a shooting at a Florida high school left 17 people dead. But Wells chief financial officer John Shrewsberry told reporters Friday that the bank is "not currently setting policy in our extension of credit." "As our CEO has publicly stated, we do not believe that the American public wants banks to decide which legal products consumers can and cannot buy," spokesman Alan Elias said. "We believe this issue requires a legislative solution that allows the public to voice their concerns."

Nikki Cassidy had never shot a gun before Sunday, when she joined her husband at Cleland’s Outdoor World for the new owner’s first brunch and bullets event. “It was scary but exhilarating,” Mrs. Cassidy said. “It’s a weird feeling. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s something you have to experience.” Ken Shields has owned the longtime Swanton store since February, and hosted the Sunday morning event to get further involved in the community.

TO REMEMBER |
| America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
