"Bolstering the sentiment that establishment media commits sins of omission as well as of commission, a curious void exists in the media narrative of the oft-deported illegal alien felon who allegedly shot a woman to death with a gun stolen from a BLM agent: The identity of the agent."
"A search shows no press sources have revealed that information at this writing, 20 days after Kathyn Steinle was killed. Not nationally and not locally, and not with the media having access to sources and resources unavailable to #justablogger activists interested in truths the public has every right to know." ... |

"A remark in the reader comments section of yesterday’s Tacoma News Tribune story about armed citizen volunteers providing security for the Army recruiting office in Spanaway has infuriated some gun rights activists because it called the two men 'a couple of wingnut jackasses.'"
"Compounding the fury is that the man who left the comment about two men calling themselves 'patriots who want to protect soldiers' according to the story, identified himself as an assistant state attorney general. John J. Ryan, who left the remark that has so far elicited more than two dozen responses, has not responded to Examiner’s contact attempts." ... |

"Yesterday’s blistering reaction by the Second Amendment Foundation to the weekend revelation that the Obama administration is pushing to prevent citizens collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if they have problems managing their own affairs hit a raw nerve and set a record for the group’s Facebook activity."
"And another nerve might be hit by this morning’s revelation by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that nearly 20 percent of the participants in last week’s Scholastic Clay Target and Scholastic Pistol programs in Sparta, Illinois were female. That is one more signal that increasing numbers of girls and women are getting involved in, and enjoying, the shooting sports. ..." ... |

"In response to Washington Post columnist E.J Dionne's column, 'What about the right not to bear arms?' June 28, page C4:"
"The Second Amendment gives me the right to own a firearm and carry such with me for the protection of my family, my home and my business as long as I follow the laws imposed upon me by my state of residence. This is just as important a right as the other Amendments provide to us in our Constitution, and it has been under attack for quite a few years now. I wonder why that is?" ... |

"As anger continues to beget violence here in the U.S. and across the world, the debate over who should be allowed to own guns rages. Many Americans value their Second Amendment right to purchase and own guns. Others believe that an overall dismissal of the Second Amendment would end random acts of violence that can come with the misuse of gun ownership. To understand the conflicting arguments over the Second Amendment, we must understand why this part of the Bill of Rights was deemed important enough to be the number two hot topic issue, added with the other nine and ratified on 1791, three years after the constitution itself was ratified." ... |

"Like a lot of people in this country, my first rifle was a Ruger 10/22. And as Bill Ruger himself planned, thanks to the first rifle, my second rifle was also a Ruger, a M77 Mark II. In the years since that second Ruger found its way into my safe, the company has revamped their bolt action lineup. Taking a cue from the market at large, they’ve focused on building accurate rifles with great triggers on a budget. I recently had the chance to test out Ruger’s latest entry to the market, the American Rifle Predator, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. After a few boxes of premium ammo, I ended up pleasantly confused . . ." ... |

"Over at americanrifleman.org, B. Gil Horman provides readers with 3 Arguments In Favor of Back-up Guns. BGH reckons you need a backup gun in case 'the first gun goes click instead of bang' or 'a primary defensive gun is not accessible.' What’s more, 'additional guns can be used to arm other responsible adults.' I can’t argue with his logic – except to say that you can also make a good case for carrying around a back-up pair of underwear. And a spare pair of glasses. And an umbrella. It’s a question of comfort, risk analysis and priorities. Here’s why I don’t carry a back-up gun . . ." ... |

... "Recently, I posted an article detailing The Rehn Test, a standardized way of viewing pistol performance. As usual, there was a lively debate in the comments section. It gave me a lot of feedback on what was right and what was wrong with the way I was approaching this. But you can only sit in your living room arguing on the internet for so long before you have to take action. So I grabbed a bone stock M&P 9 that I recently acquired, an Apex Duty Carry Enhancement Kit, and a set of Trijicon sights. Figuring that the trigger and the sights are two known 'weak' points of the M&P 9 pistols, I figured it might be fun to take a somewhat mundane review and add a bit more scientific rigor to it." ... |

"We need 'universal' background checks because there is a very large loophole in the existing federal law that allows dangerous people to obtain possession of a gun."
"When the Supreme Court ruled that the possession of a gun for personal protection was a constitutional right under the Second Amendment, they also ruled that several classes of people could be denied this right. Among the prohibited classes of people are felons and the seriously mentally ill. Almost everyone agrees that these are limited and reasonable restrictions on the right to own a gun." ... |

"In the wake of deadly mass shootings in Charleston, S.C., and Chattanooga, Tenn., the nation finds itself once again debating whether and how to further limit access to firearms. Unfortunately, meaningful change is unlikely in a Congress where fealty to the NRA and its ridiculous drive for a fully armed America outweighs politicians' commitments to the safety of the people who elected them. Still, we must continue to push the boulder up the hill and urge Congress to approve two common-sense bills to expand and make existing laws more effective." ... |

"You gotta love The Trace. ‘Cause I sure don’t. Well, I do, a little. I love how they state the pro-gun position at the top of their post Why Military Security Experts Know That Arming All Troops Is Not the Answer. 'The argument that all military service members should be armed with guns to protect themselves — proffered by GOP presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Donald Trump in the wake of the shooting deaths of four Marines and a sailor last week in Chattanooga, Tennessee — is so basic that there’s not much argument to it at all.'

"In the wake of the Chattanooga shootings, in which five unnamed U.S. servicemen were murdered by a self-radicalized jihadist, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno suggested that allowing soldiers on base or at recruiting centers 'could cause more problems than it solves.' With all due respect to his service and status, this is nonsense."
"As the Associated Press reported:""'I think we have to be careful about over-arming ourselves, and I'm not talking about where you end up attacking each other,' Odierno said during a morning breakfast. Instead, he said, it's more about 'accidental discharges and everything else that goes along with having weapons that are loaded that causes injuries.'" ... |

... "The goal is to update the nation's background check system to include those with dementia or other impairments that would hinder their judgment in ways that would suggest they ought not have ready access to deadly weapons. The difficulty is that those specific people aren't directly singled out in the Social Security databases. There's only the much broader category of people who are 'unable to manage their own [financial] affairs,' and while that is all Social Security administrators need to know in order to route the checks correctly, that's not necessarily the same thing as having impaired judgment in general." ... |

The rest of the article details the travesty that is the judge’s ruling, which acknowledges gun store owner Michael Baryla’s First Amendment right to free speech while upholding the ban on the posters because it 'dampens [the] demand for emotion-driven impulse purchases of handguns.'

'The man had more than 1,200 firearms and two tons of ammunition stashed in his home and garage,' dailymail.co.uk reports. 'Many of the guns had never been fired and some still had their price tags attached.' Needless to say, the media trotted-out the A-word: LA police discover arsenal of 1,200 guns in dead man’s home. Nope. It was a collection. 'Police have found no evidence the man, who has not been identified, was involved in criminal activity.'
