"Joan has lived most of her life in Portland and bought her first gun at age 20. It was a surplus WW2 era 1911 that she still has. Even after many episodes of kitchen table gunsmithing it’s still reliable and she says, 'I just like the feel of it.' Her most recent acquisition is a Ruger LCP .380 that she loves, but finds a challenge to shoot accurately. She shoots better with her S&W .45 ACP revolver. 'Those moon clips are faster than a speed loader,' she says. A .45 LC cylinder is on the shopping list . . ." ... |

"With most guns used in 3-gun competition, the challenge lies in unloading them very quickly and very accurately into the indicated targets. Reloading isn’t really an issue thanks to detachable magazines and Surefire’s big-ass contraptions. With shotguns, though, it’s exactly the opposite. The challenge lies in keeping the gun loaded, and the stages are designed to force you to empty your magazine as quickly as possible. There are a couple ways to reload your gun, but one of them I wrote off as an absolute gimmick. Until, that is, I found that it cut my reload time in half." ... |

"Hornady Ammunition. Fast. Accurate. Dependable. Unavailable. In the midst of the Great Guns and Ammo Shortage of 2013, Hornady wants its customer to know they’re not supermen (the ammo maker not their customers, who may or may not be from another planet). Hornady’s making as many cartridges as they can, as fast as they can. And they have no clue when the situation will improve. (Today’s gun control rout in the Senate could mark the beginning of the beginning of the end.) Make the jump for Hornady’s rumor patrol talking points memo and a plea to all-too-credulous consumers to skeptical-up and chill out . . ." ... |

"Of all the senators who attempted Wednesday to rally support for the doomed Manchin-Toomey background check amendment, Connecticut's Democratic freshman representative, Chris Murphy, probably faced the greatest temptation to borrow the moral authority of the Newtown families. They are his constituents and many were present in the chamber." ...
"But on Wednesday, Murphy eschewed the inflammatory, easy route of shaming gun rights extremists (though I have no qualms about that path myself). Maybe because the battle was already lost, his speech had a tone of exasperated regret, tinged with earnest bewilderment. He was forthright about what a vote against universal background checks means:" ... |

"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Republican lawmakers are reluctant to support the gun-control bill in the Senate because it does not get to the root of the problem and provide them adequate political cover."
"'This legislation is irrelevant to Sandy Hook, he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe, referring to the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 children and six adults." ...

"President Obama begins his speech at 4:30. As many TTAG commentators have pointed out, the President’s obvious anger at today’s Senate vote—shooting down gun control legislation—is in stark contrast to his relatively cool remarks regarding the Benghazi embassy attacks and the Boston Marathon bombing. Mr. Obama’s vow to pursue civilian disarmament indicates what gun rights advocates know in their bones: this ain’t over. The fight for liberty and firearms freedom (same difference) is never over.

'If we are serious about public safety, we must put these common-sense safeguards in place. While the police have not revealed what specific explosive materials were used in Boston, what we do know is that explosive powder is too easy to anonymously purchase across the country.'" ... |

"President Barack Obama and his gun control allies say Senate rejection of expanded background checks and other restrictions won't stop their drive to reduce firearms violence. But their path to enacting gun curbs this year seems blocked by the National Rifle Association, and supporters of restrictions appear befuddled about what it will take to push legislation through this Congress." ... |

"Despite an impassioned push by President Barack Obama and an emotional lobbying effort by the families of mass shooting victims, proponents of a compromise measure to expand gun background checks on Wednesday fell six votes short of passage in the Senate."
"The vote on the amendment was 54 to 46. Sixty votes were needed for the amendment to be adopted."
"The deal was the result of a deal struck between Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia. It would have extended existing background check rules to gun sales made online and at gun shows." ... |

"After a fearsome farrago of fury over the state’s complicity in providing information on Missouri CCW holders to feds at the Social Security Administration, DHS and your friendly neighborhood [ATF], Governor Jeremiah 'Jay' Nixon (D-Mizzoura) is walking things back. To those of you just tuning in, the Department of Revenue — after much legislative poking and prodding — finally admitted last month that it was scanning CCW endorsement holders’ personal identification documents and funneling them to the busy little drones D.C. And since one blatant violation of state law wasn’t enough, the Highway Patrol figured that sharing lists of CCW holders with our benevolent overlords too would be twice the fun. ..." ... |

"Albany’s police union are calling for the repeal of New York’s SAFE Act, labeling the gun control legislation 'substantively, procedurally and morally' wrong. The New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association (PBA) goes further. The statement (after the jump) shows that it’s steeling itself for the backlash that will follow enforcement of New York’s SAFE Act. 'Backlash' being a code word for bloodshed; the Staties are looking at armed resistance to their employers’ unconstitutional gun laws. The PBA knows the SAFE Act threatens to undermine their credibility—and thus authority—for decades if not generations to come. Bottom line: the storm clouds are gathering in the Empire State . . ." ... |
