"'It’s worth examining the Hofstra killing in light of the constant mantra from the National Rifle Association that the best way to deter gun-toting criminals is to arm as many ordinary citizens as possible. But in this case, it wasn’t a civilian who made a mistake. It was a trained cop. And if cops can make mistakes, what can we expect of civilians?' Mike Kelly of nj.com‘s referring to a recent police shooting wherein a beat cop entered a house with a known hostage situation and shot both the perp and the hostage. Kelly’s conclusion. If cops can’t get it done with a gun, civilians shouldn’t even try. As our regular readers no doubt know . . ." ... |

"St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner has been very much caught up in the excitement about 3-D printed guns, but there is no denying that at the moment, and for the foreseeable future, printing an entire gun out of plastic is quite likely the least sensible approach for acquiring useful firepower. As a proof of concept, and as a shot across the bow of 'government monopoly on force' advocates like the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), it's perfect, but if you need to anonymously acquire a 'regime change rifle' right now, don't look for it to come out of a printer." ... |

"The gun rights debate in the United States has been smouldering for decades, but has become white hot since Newtown. And while the gun rights advocates are a very large and vocal group, they don’t do the whole 'polished presentation' thing very well. Michael Bloomberg, with his bottomless wallet, does a great job of putting out slick propaganda pieces, but gun rights advocates don’t seem to have the same kind of capabilities. That’s where Kris Koeing comes in, a filmmaker from California who is wrapping up production on a new documentary, ‘Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire‘. The film looks at the gun control debate in the United States and will be released in theaters on June 20th. ..." ... |

"Gun-control advocates are compulsive liars. They have to be because the truth doesn’t support their agenda. Ongoing claims that 90 percent of Americans ... support 'universal background checks' for gun purchases was a lie when it was first uttered and has become an even bigger lie as time passes. The pronouncement that 40 percent of guns sold each year are sold through 'private sales' with no background checks is a lie. Claims that gun control is needed to 'make our children and our communities safer' is a lie. ..."

"I am fairly new to gun forums but been shooting and buying guns well before Glocks were invented and during the time when the 9mm was considered a caliber best suited for those who pee sitting down. One of the things I notice about gun forums is that they tend to distort reality. By its very nature, gun forums attract those who are into guns much more than most. However, some fail to recognize that gun forum members are a very small part of gun owners and sometimes forum members tend to think things are as they read in their forums. Let’s just look at one example." ... |

He got tired and parked behind a building in Readington Township, a quiet, rural area of the state near the Pennsylvania line.

"The gist of comments in reaction to this ruling is that profiling is wrong."
"Too bad that doesn’t apply to gun owners. An interesting observation is floating around cyberspace these days about the liberal hypocrisy of profiling.

"In a study released by Pew Research, violent gun crimes are significantly lower now than they were at their peak during the mid 1990s. Gun homicides declined 49% from 1993 to 2010, despite the fact that population in the United States grew during the same period." ... |

One of the things I have found in looking at Texas lawmen history and the gun culture here is the use of the do it all carbine.

According to some reviews, using FIREClean gun oil makes cleaning firearms so effortless, the only thing easier would be having someone else do the work. (From one testimonial: Now that I have started using FireClean my gun cleaning time has been cut in half. The stuff works great! I apply a small amount on the dirty parts and then wipe them clean. Burnt on carbon and grease do not stand a chance against FIREClean.) Sounds good, but to see for myself, I decided I’d put together a controlled test, hoping my methodology would either prove or disprove their claims . . ." ... |

"GUNMAKERS SLOUGHING off their responsibility for preventing weapons from getting into the hands of maniacs landed like a thud in Newtown, Conn., Tuesday."
"'What we have learned since 12/14 is eye opening,' said Monte Frank of the Newtown Action Alliance, referring to the December date of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School."
"'The gun industry profits immensely from the proliferation of illegal guns, and they have lobbied hard to keep the spigot on.'" ...
-------
KABA Note: According to the FBI's UCR, in 2011 there were about 266,000 murders, assaults and robberies committed with firearms. Let's assume that 4 out of 5 criminals already had access to a gun and didn't need to buy a new one. This means that the Eee-vil Gun Companies sold about about 53,200 guns to criminals in 2011. According to the NSSF and ATF's figures, in 2011 Americans bought about 6,400,000 guns. So the "immense" profits that gun companies garner from "the proliferation of illegal guns" amounts to less than 1% of their sales. |

"Taking their cue from the Martin family's attorneys, Reuters ran the first national article on the shooting ten days after it happened. Zimmerman was a 'loose cannon.' He profiled Martin, stalked him, and shot him, disregarding police instructions. Martin, by contrast, was a 'good kid.' He had hoped to be a pilot. He was simply bringing the soon-to-be iconic iced tea and Skittles home to his 'little brother.'"
