"The pundits say that gun owners are a smaller-than-ever minority, and that a majority of American homes are 'gun-free.' (I hate that phrase, gun-free.' No, guns are not vermin. Anything which sounds that helpless as 'gun-free' can’t be A Good Thing.)
"Let’s look at some recent statistics, though. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports their recent survey of gun dealers that in 2012, about 25% of their sales were to first-time gun owners." ... |

"Yesterday’s 'Extrano’s Alley' gun blog discussed an apparent myth surrounding guns in the house and during the course of the discussion created something of a myth of its own when it suggested that 'there were 606 fatal firearms accidents during 2012; and conventional wisdom has it that some 400 of those involved hunting accidents.'"

"While I was working on my review of J. Dewey’s .338 Lapua Magnum Bore Guide and Cleaning Tools, I had a couple of back and forth exchanges with Ken, who as near as I can figure, is Dewey’s PR, Marketing, Web Programming and general do-everything guy. As we were talking, we got around to the subject of their field cleaning kits. While Dewey is definitely well known as a maker of fine gun cleaning tools for the shop, the fact is their field cleaning tools are also well-respected by folks who know a thing or two about shooting . . ." ... |

"Despite the gun control advocates’ continued collective pants browning over the idea that they may have permanently lost the ability to control anyone’s access to firearms, more and more of Cody Wilson’s children are springing up across the world. Forbes has even devoted an article to some of the better examples. One of the main themes of the piece is that while the gun itself is indeed being printed as-is, more interesting developments are happening as people are improving on the Defense Distributed design and sharing them. One guy is even making a metal barrel insert to let the .38 gun shoot .22LR, something much more practical and less prone to splitting the barrel. And that’s just the start . . ." ... |

"A D.C. Councilwoman has introduced legislation that could make the District the nation's first jurisdiction to require gun owners to buy liability insurance." ...
-------
Submitter's Note: Hmm . . . Given that the freedom to own and carry the weapon of your choice is a natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil and Constitutional right, I’m not sure an insurance requirement is, you know, Constitutional.
But hey, just for the sake of argument let’s say it is. Basic coverage on my car runs about $45/month and I drive it an average of two hours every day, so that’s $0.75 per hour of operation. I’m willing to pony up $0.75 a year to cover a gun that I might shoot (outside of practice) once every 50 years. |

... "Let me preface this by saying that the shooter in question (Barry Dueck) is, by all accounts, a great guy. And from what I’ve been able to gather, there was no malicious intent at any point on his part. It looks like an honest mistake, and one that he has already made right. But it’s still a good idea to take a look at what happened, and how it might be avoided in the future." ... |

"No matter how many future generations we spawn, our offspring will never be perusing the history books, reading about another American Revolution. That is one of the few certainties in life, as, for better or worse, our government has foreseen that notion, and consolidated power to a virtually unfathomable degree. No coups, bloodless or otherwise, such as the ones that often take place in Third World countries, will ever occur here, in the land of the free. Whether we are fully conscious of it or not, the government controls nearly every major aspect of our lives in almost every conceivable degree. ..." ... |

"A Chicago Democrat’s restrictive concealed-carry legislation made it through a Senate committee Thursday, with opponents vowing again to fight its passage."

Under the new legislation, which the governor helped push through the General Assembly, anyone buying a handgun will have to submit fingerprints to obtain a license. The bill also bans 45 types of assault weapons, but those who own the weapons before the law goes into effect will be allowed to keep them." ... |

"Our hearts were broken in March as your government passed a set of draconian anti-gun laws upon your state. You see, Colorado has been kind of a second home for my family since the 1980s, and for me since 1970 when I first came out there and saw what a wonderful, colorful state it was." ...
"We have many friends and relatives who, like us, enjoyed Colorado all year round and this decision was given countless hours of thought and consideration by my entire family as well as our friends, and what we ultimately have decided is that since Colorado has become anti-gun, we shall become anti-Colorado." ... |
