"When the British newspaper the Telegraph asked readers which of six suggested measures they would like to see introduced in the House of Commons, the response was surprisingly tilted toward one significant proposal."
"Of the six suggestions, which included setting a flat tax and placing a term limit on the office of prime minister, what drew more than 86 percent of reader support was a proposal to repeal the handgun ban of 1997. This is an unscientific poll, but the results should signal to U.S. gun prohibitionists that their habitual use of the United Kingdom as an example of domestic tranquility where guns are concerned just took a direct hit in the credibility department." ... |

"Kris Koenig’s Kickstarter funded documentary, Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire, started life as a film about the state of gun control in California. But thanks to the post-Newtown gun control fervor on a national level, the project blossomed to encompass the entire debate and not just the trainwreck that is California. The film is coming out on June 20th with Ice-T as the narrator, but they gave us an advance copy to review. So, will those of us who invested be getting our money’s worth of 2A-defending goodness? . . ." ... |

"Competition shooting is all about shooting as fast as you can, but that has a downside. Namely, heat. Shooting really fast is a great way to heat up your barrel, and whether you’re using a shotgun or a rifle, that hot barrel can start to make life more than a little uncomfortable. Especially for me and my shotgun reloading method of choice, I needed something that would come between the hot barrel and my hand to keep me from burning myself. That’s where Russel Phagan’s SHTF Wrap comes in . . ." ... |

"If every U.S. citizen born, raised, and/or living outside of Texas took an exam to test their knowledge about the stereotypes of the Lone Star State, most would probably at least get one question correct: the one that asks about how much Texans love owning and using their guns."
"The answer? Apparently way too much."
"More specifically, Texas law allows its citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights and use deadly force to an extent that even gun aficionados should feel uncomfortable with." ... |

"Good Americans have been led to believe a lie about their history. The lie is that the Second Amendment guarantees a civilian the right to firearms."
"This idea has a name in law: the 'individual rights' theory. Gun manufacturers and the [NRA] have worked hard to push this lie on us ..." ...
"According to research by political scientist Robert J. Spitzer, law review articles supporting the individualist view started to outnumber collectivist ones only in the 1980s and ’90s. This was the direct result of rewards the NRA gave out to writers and academics who could beef up individualist scholarship. That strategy finally bore fruit with the 2008 Supreme Court ruling District of Columbia vs. Heller." ... |

"We in the Florida gun-violence prevention community are concerned about the accelerating increase in gun rights in this state at the expense of public safety. This is evident in the passage of the "stand your ground" law in 2005, but especially the more recent passage in 2011 of the NRA-backed law that penalizes local government leaders for passing their own ordinances to control firearms and protect public safety within their own borders."
"This pre-emption law and its penalties represent the largest increase in gun rights in Florida history." ...

Submitter's Note: Yeah it's just awful when the legislature attaches penalties to a much scoffed law that's been on the books for more than a quarter-century. |

... "The Nevada Legislature passed Senate Bill 221, which closes dangerous loopholes in the background check system ... All that’s left is for Sandoval to sign it, but he has threatened to veto the life-saving measure."
"On behalf of our lost loved ones, we hope he won’t."
"Dave’s nephew, A.J. Boik, was murdered at the theater shooting in Aurora, Colo1. Elvin’s sister, Zina Daniel, was shot along with six others at a spa outside Milwaukee2. Paul’s brother-in-law, Steve Forsyth, was killed at the Clackamas Town Center mall3 ... And Bill was shot in the back of the head while tackling the gunman at the Tucson, Ariz., massacre4 ..." ...
-------
Submitter's Notes:
1 The Aurora shooter was not a prohibited person and so would have been unaffected by this law.
2 The spa shooter was a prohibited person and lived in a state which requires all gun (and ammunition) buyers have a FOID card which should have been confiscated by the ISP when the restraining order was granted and so would have been unaffected by this law.
3 The Clackamas shooter was not a prohibited person and stole his weapon from a friend and so would have been unaffected by this law.
4 The Tucson shooter was not a prohibited person and so would have been unaffected by this law. |

"... Today I am reflecting on the lies I was told as a child. ..."
"... I remember watching all the marvels that were just 20 years away. I was excited and eager to grow up in such a great world where robots and computers would do all of our work, allowing us to enjoy life while the machines did all the grunt work. Instead I find that I am working more hours than my father without even the guaranteed pension and medical benefits he received when he retired. None of the things I was expecting to happen long ago, still have yet to be. I am sure that there are many more predictions that were made in the distant past that never came true, but here is just ten that I remember well.

"In a dramatic upset in the timing of the 'centerpiece' of the Democrats’ gun bill package, the New Jersey Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee today failed to muster enough votes to pass S2723/A4182 out of committee."
"In a stunning turn of events, it became apparent during a roll call vote that there were not a sufficient number of Democratic votes for the bill. Rather than complete the roll call as required by legislative rules, chaos and confusion ensued as the committee chairman and staffers halted the proceedings mid-roll- call and huddled in an adjacent room while they figured out what to do. ..." ...

"A local news station reported that the “Come and Take It” rally, which was organized by Don’t Comply, was part of a response generated after Army Master Sgt. CJ Grisham was arrested in March for 'rudely displaying' his AR-15. While it is legal to open carry long arms in Texas, apparently a concerned citizen called when she saw the man carrying the weapon while on a Boy Scout hike with his son in the rural community." ... |
