... "'I had a holy cow reaction -- a psychiatrist with gun in his office!?' Dr. Stephen Marder offered. 'The idea of a psychiatrist having a weapon in his desk is entirely new to me. I haven’t heard of anything like it before.'"
"So he has no experience? It’s entirely new to him? He’s never heard of anything like it before?"
"Then how is it he’s an 'expert' qualified to comment on defensive gun uses, and influence a mass audience to boot with his opinions?" ... |

... "The additional guidance issued today notes 'the ruling applies only to handguns,' noting it is still illegal for citizen to carry long guns or shotguns. Importantly, it noted 'possession of a firearm outside the home or business in and of itself MAY NOT be criminal,' but that District residents may only possess legally registered firearms." ... |

"Last fall, VICE published a piece by Brian Aitken, a man who had recently moved to New Jersey, where he narrowly escaped seven years in prison for possession of guns that were legal in his previous home of Colorado but banned in the Garden State. Only after an executive order from Governor Chris Christie commuted his sentence was Aitken set free—if being stuck with a lingering felony charge can be called freedom."
"Disagree about gun laws all you like, but New Jersey is pretty nuts about theirs. It’s less about Second Amendment specifics, or ideologies (unless yours involves more people crammed into US prisons), and more about making criminals appear out of thin air. ..." ... |

"It isn’t often that I find a new part or gizmo and say, 'Huh! I guess I needed this more than I thought!' As I’ve been practicing my running, gunning, and slung up shooting in anticipation for a seven-mile biathlon this fall, I have been making a lot of changes to my gear. To be honest, a few months ago, I decided to stop thinking too much about what I was using for kit and just trying everything. And to quote one of my fantastic instructors at the SIG Academy, 'Your gear is either fighting you or helping you.' With that in mind, I’ve been trying everything I can get my hands on, and I’m stunned at how simple Strike Industries’ Ambush Sling Loop appears to be, and how goshdsarn useful it has become . . ." ... |

"I have lived in Austin for 35 years, and I have seen some weird $hit here. But when my friend Lola and I decided on Saturday that enough is enough with the kind of people who take out their guns for play dates, I have to admit that it was my first time actually seeing that particular kind of people ... in person."
"In person, and while I was topless." ...
"Now, unlike the wave of people who advocate for their second amendment rights by waving around their guns, I don't normally go shopping without my shirt on – it's a matter of basic respect for others. But since these ammo-sexuals feel it necessary to exercise their right to take a gun out for a date, Lola and I decided to exercise our own." ... |

The man said he continued mowing the lawn and the next time he saw Sytsma, he was in a nearby ditch being attacked by two loose dogs. 'He yelled at the dogs,' Lapeer County Sheriff’s Office Det. Sgt.

"This is America, and when America launches a war to make not-America more like America, by God, America does it right. Which is why we can now declare unconditional victory in Afghanistan: victory for the American bedrock value of flooding a country with legal guns that end up in illegal hands."
"The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction has published the final word on America's great triumph, in which the U.S. taught Afghan security forces that freedom is built upon the introduction of hundreds of thousands more automatic weapons than the nation needs, and the poor registration, tracking, and ultimate loss of most of said weapons as the military shrinks:" ... |

"The brave gun-fondlers of Come And Take It Texas don’t have a problem with walking around Dealey Plaza with rifles, because that’s an important message about Freedom ... but they are decent God-fearin’ folk who believe in the Bible almost as much as they believe in the Second Amendment, and they have just about had it with painted hussies and bare-breasted Jezebels who flaunt their mammalian protuberances at them while they’re just out trying to have a decent family-friendly group gunhump.

"Saturday’s long-awaited victory in Palmer v. District of Columbia is “one more important step toward firearms freedom,” the Second Amendment Foundation said today after reviewing the ruling, which the District of Columbia now reportedly plans to appeal."
"'We will take all necessary steps to defend our victory against an unconstitutional ban on bearing arms outside of one’s home,' vowed SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. 'The decision by Judge Frederick J. Scullin, Jr., reinforces our efforts in challenging burdensome concealed carry laws in several states.'" ... |

"The most tantalizing element of the latest gun rights decision in Washington D.C. is the hope that it raises for law-abiding New Yorkers who want to be able to carry a firearm outside of their homes. The decision was issued by a United States district judge, who has blocked the District of Columbia police from enforcing a ban on handguns. The judge who did this, Frederick Scullin Jr., normally sits at Syracuse, New York. He was assigned to this case by the chief justice of America. So the hope is that when he returns to his regular chambers he’ll eventually get a chance to bring some sense to his own state, where by virtue of radically anti-gun authorities the Second Amendment is a dead letter." ... |

"Beginning Saturday night and continuing through the evening of Monday, July 28, only ABC’s Good Morning America has acknowledged the ruling. ABC’s Ron Claiborne gave the story a scant 18 seconds on Sunday morning whereas all of the CBS and NBC morning and evening newscasts, as well as ABC’s World News have ignored the story altogether.

"D.C. police have been ordered not to arrest people for carrying pistols and deadly weapons in public. Washingtonians can still face criminal charges for carrying unregistered firearms ... but the millions of people who visit the nation’s capital are exempt from those provisions under an order from Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier. The chief’s guidance effectively put the District’s firearm regulations, at least for non-residents, on a par with the most permissive gun jurisdictions in the country. ..." ... |

"It wasn’t until 1932 that a permit was required to carry a concealed weapon in the District of Columbia. It was legal to carry pistols openly until 1943. At the time, it was clear that the prohibition on open carry did not apply to long arms."
"In 1973 the District of Columbia was granted 'home rule'. In 1976, the new District government passed the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975. The law went into effect in 1977. It has been over 70 years since it was legal to openly carry a pistol in the District of Columbia." ... |

"America’s last holistic concealed-carry ban has been pushed into the dustbin of history. On Saturday afternoon, while nobody was looking, a senior judge finally made up his mind, yielding ten beautiful words that I never imagined I would see together: 'Federal District Court Strikes Down Washington, D.C. Handgun Carry Ban.' And that, happily, was that."
"It was somewhat surprising to see a case of this magnitude being issued on a Saturday, but more remarkable, perhaps, is that it was issued at all. The plaintiffs first filed their case in August 2009 — almost five years ago — and they have been waiting patiently ever since. ..." ... |

"Earlier this week, NYPD chief Bill Bratton said that Eric Garner's death might lead him to order that all New York City cops receive new training on the use of force. A new video of the violent arrest of a man in Bed-Stuy shows that changes can't come soon enough. The footage ... shows several officers taking 32-year-old Jahmiel Cuffee down on a sidewalk after catching him with a small amount of weed. The police say that Cuffee had provided them with his ID, but resisted when they moved to take him into custody. Whatever happened, nothing seems to justify the part where one cop walks away from the scene and then returns to stomp on Cuffee's head, even though he was already handcuffed and pinned to the ground." ... |
