... "That is significant, particularly in Connecticut, where draconian measures were enacted in the wake of Newtown, and where Democrat Gov. Dannell P. Malloy has made 'gun control' a defining platform of his administration, one he’s been vocal about extending to the national level. Yet Belsito and Horn were competing for the gun owner vote, not for the citizen disarmament faction. " ... |

"Rep. Jeff Duncan must not be very good at Googling. His 'revelation' that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is tooled-up is about as new as the 'discovery' that Israel is the birthplace of some particularly attractive women. Back in August 2010, TTAG reported on an IRS raid on Tennessee rapper David Darnell Brown (a.k.a. 'Young Buck') where agents were equipped with plenty ‘o shotguns. Here’s a fedbizopps.gov bid solicitation for 60 Remington shotguns for the Tea Party tormentors. All that said, usnews.com reports that Rep Duncan’s got his knickers in a twist because the IRS has joined law enforcement officers nationwide in switching from scatterguns to rifles . . ." ... |

"California Senator Barbara Boxer sees last week’s shooting in Santa Monica as a boon for anti-gun groups. During an interview on MSNBC, after the obligatory sad-faced 'our thoughts and prayers go out to the families' statement, she let us know exactly where her thoughts really are: on gun control. It didn’t take her long to wave the Sandy Hook bloody shirt, then said the Santa Monica shooting will help the gun control movement because 'it gives us wind at our back.' That should help offset all the hot air coming out of her front and keep her from falling over. And at the same time, across the nation in Jersey . . ." ... |

"Kevin Brittingham, founder of Advanced Armament Corp (one of the three big silencer manufacturers in the US), was abruptly fired from his position at the helm of the company just a few short months after AAC was acquired by The Freedom Group. At the time, both Freedom Group and Kevin held their cards close to their respective vests. But now Kevin has filed suit against Freedom Group claiming that they owe him millions of dollars, there were no grounds for the termination and that it was merely a ploy by the conglomerate to avoid paying him. Now all the chips are being laid on the table . . ." ... |

... "Walther is a company on the rise. As you can probably tell by all of the press attention, the venerable old German arms maker has really hit one out of the park with their PPQ M2. My initial impression of the PPQ M2 is that it may just be the best GLOCK clone made to date. Nonetheless, while the PPQ M2 may be all the rage, another new less expensive 'entry level' Walther handgun recently hit the market: the PPX. To be honest, when I first unboxed the PPX, I thought it was a frickin’ Hi-Point. Which is to say that it’s rather, um, portly and homely in the looks department. And apparently I’m not alone in this observation. But after spending a couple of months testing the PPX, I’ve really warmed up to this plump princess . . ." ... |

"I keep reading about trigger resets in gun forums. Guys will recommend buying one gun over the other because it has a short trigger reset and therefore can shoot follow-up shots much faster. The problem is that they usually mean faster at paper targets that do not shoot back either at the range or in competition, although most who talk about trigger resets do not even compete. There are several things wrong with training to use trigger resets for self-defense." ... |

"Everyone knows the horrific power of a dark, monstrous tornado. When a powerful tornado (rated by the National Weather Service as an EF-4 with winds up to 200 MPH) ripped through central Oklahoma in May 2013, homeowner Pat Brand lost everything. He huddled along with 10 neighbors in a protective underground shelter as the violent storm roared overhead. When he emerged after the tornado passed, gone were his home, truck and a Smith &Wesson® handgun that was equipped with Crimson Trace Lasergrips." ... |

Their new iDryfire app (for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) along with one of their iMarksman dry fire lasers lets you record your shot placement to see exactly how accurate (or not) you are.

"The first instinct of teachers and school staff is to love and protect their children."
"We saw that six months ago, when a gunman broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School and mercilessly gunned down 20 innocent children and six educators. Those educators, who risked and gave their lives protecting their students, are heroes." ...
"We need to follow the lead of Connecticut on the national level and enact commonsense gun legislation that also respects and values the Second Amendment. We can preserve the rights of hunters and sportsmen, and still keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't be armed and prevent deadly assaults with weapons that can fire six bullets per second, like the one used at Sandy Hook." ...

"An Illinois prosecutor is refusing to prosecute carriers of concealed weapons in his county, even though the governor is still weighing the bill that would allow concealed carry statewide. The attorney’s announcement puts him amongst a burgeoning crop of local officials nationwide who are 'going rogue' in civil disobedience efforts against mounting calls for greater gun control." ...

Submitter's Note: Odd that refusing to obey a law which the court has ruled unconstitutional is considered civil disobedience. |

"After years of cherishing (and trumpeting) his A-rating from the NRA, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has fallen out of the good graces of the most powerful gun rights organization in the United States and is about to suffer their wrath. The NRA might not have the war chest to go up against a super-rich statist like Mayor Bloomberg, but that doesn’t mean that this ad will have any less impact. Especially in the Mountain State, where gun rights are high on people’s priority lists . . ." ... |

Now, another area that would like to attract more high tech companies is considering the exact same thing: New York City . . ." ... |

"'Any regulatory change wouldn’t require congressional approval.' That’s the word from the spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) ... One wonders what said Founding Fathers would make of a federal fiat that forces state mental-health authorities to 'transmit records of anyone who has been declared mentally unfit by a court or other authority to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.' You know; so they can be permanently disqualified from firearms purchases. Without due process. Without an appeals system. Hello? Did I wake up in Soviet Russia this morning?

"'Awwww! Look Mommy, kitties!' Thats probably how a North Ridgeville, Ohio mom found out about the family of feral cats who’d taken up residence in a wood pile in her yard. She then did what a lot of moms with a house full of rugrats would do, she called city hall to have someone handle the problem. Fortunately, North Ridgeville has exactly the resource necessary to deal with situations like this and they called in Humane Officer Barry Accorti. So the retired NRPD sergeant arrived at the scene on Monday to handle the momma cat and her five kittens. And then the gunfire broke out . . ." ... |

"The first of what will likely be a chain of editorials supporting the gun control initiative filed by the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility appeared today in the Vancouver Columbian."
"Almost predictably, the newspaper lauds 'wise Washingtonians' for taking action 'when both the Legislature and Congress failed to act.' The Columbian also pats itself on the back for being 'part of that burgeoning wave of public support' for a measure that Bellevue-based gun rights advocate Alan Gottlieb yesterday said is 'overly restrictive by a long shot.' There is much to digest in the 15-page document." ... |

"Some homeowners worry it could hurt property values."
"'I think thought it should be in an area maybe a little way away from all the action in town,' Jeannie Pietari said."
"Osseo Superintendent Kate Maguire said the school’s concern is over the increased number of guns in the area, and who may be carrying those guns. She worries it could be a distraction for students and teachers." ... |

| As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. — Justice William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court (1939-75) |
