"Following a second day of Capitol Hill hearings in which he professed little or no knowledge about the controversial Project Gunrunner, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today called for the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder."
"'For the second day in a row, Attorney General Holder has stated on the record that he didn't know about one of the most egregious government scandals in memory,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. 'This country cannot afford the luxury of having its top law enforcement officer confess ignorance of an operation that may have allowed thousands of guns to be illegally exported to Mexico ... and apparently cost the life of at least one law enforcement officer.'" ... |

"The Brady Campaign to Whittle Away Your Second Amendment Rights—sorry, Prevent Gun Violence has launched a new test to measure your Gun Law IQ. The test's name proves my point in yesterday's editorial: gun control advocates are profoundly elitist. To wit: 'IQ' instead of 'Knowledge.' Be that as it is, the Campaign’s interactive quiz is just about as misleading as you’d imagine—provided you have a good imagination . . ." ... |

... "A key piece of the anti-gun stance against guns is that a given gun might be used to kill someone, or a given law-abiding citizen might snap and go on a killing spree. If we transfer the anti-gun argument into other public policy issues it better illustrates how they use fear to push limitations on gun ownership."
"Remember that airplanes and helicopters might crash, just as a gun might kill someone, so banning air travel is clearly a good idea, based on anti-gun logic. The same is true with cars. And since we know that surgery is incredibly dangerous and might lead to premature death, we need to outlaw surgeons." ... |

"[Recently] a Mexican official confirmed that President Felipe Calderon's government has hired U.S. trial lawyers to investigate possible litigation against U.S. gun manufacturers and firearms retailers, seeking to hold these lawful companies responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms in Mexico. Though the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, signed into law in 2005 by then President George W. Bush, prevents such frivolous lawsuits, the mere threat demands a response." ... |

"Summer is upon us. That means baseball, barbecues and backyard hijinks. And if your hijinks are anything like mine, they usually include a little artillery fire. No, I’m not talking about a Howitzer or vintage civil war cannon—although I’ll get the permission if you bring the noise. I’m talking about the potato gun. Yes, the sight of a freshly launched spud sailing over the neighbors’ houses is enough to make the heart swell with pride. But if you’ve built a gun of your own, you know that accuracy can sometimes be something of an issue . . ." ... |

"Time for a small confession: as much as I love to shoot, I’ve never really enjoyed sighting in new and untried rifles and scopes. I’m not very good at it, and I’ve sent an occasional shot downrange that missed my target completely and thumped harmlessly into the backstop. Or even landed on somebody else’s target. After a sheepish apology to the neighbor whose target I’ve spoiled, I have to guess how many full cranks of my errant scope’s adjustment dial it will take to put my shots on (my) paper." ... |

"TTAG posts a huge amount of original content: ten or more posts a day, seven days a week, since mid-Feb 2010. (FYI: this is post number 4367.) That means that material gets pushed off the page faster than a toddler clinging to his older brother’s Big Wheel. Thankfully, Google is our friend. For example, our review is the number one search result for 'ArmaLite AR-24 review.' Which is just as well. The AR-24 is one hell of a handgun: comfortable, reliable, accurate and manageable . . . ."

"From all reports, at its annual convention last weekend in Pittsburgh, the National Rifle Association, as usual, cloaked itself in patriotic themes, claimed special kinship with the Founders, and portrayed itself as the true protector of American values. There was much talk of 'freedom'. More than anything else, however, the NRA gatherings are celebrations of fear."
"The NRA is the most accomplished marketer of fear in American political life." ...

Submitter's Note: Waitaminnit! The governor of IL says "The concept of concealed, loaded hand guns in the possession of private citizens does not enhance public safety, on the contrary it increases danger for everyday people" and we're the 'fearful' ones?!? |
