"For those of you who don’t know, a serious fight kicked off last January in Washington state. Lately I have volunteered my time to speak at gun shows and other events and let me tell you something, I am terrified. Out of the people visiting their local gun show you would expect at least 90% of the people to have at least heard about what’s going on, it’s more like 50%. ..." ...
"For those who don’t know, Bloomberg and his 'Everytown' group have pledged 50 million dollars to aid in pushing Initative-594. Bloomberg has been stating he wants to crush the NRA, what better way when the NRA doesn’t even bother to show up, I’ll explain in a bit. Quite literally this is the biggest fight going on between gun owners and Bloomberg." ... |

"The article 'Honor James Brady by taking real action' in Thursday’s Daily Herald by The Des Moines Register columnist Rekha Basu, inspired me to point out a few things that I feel need to be addressed."
The columnist states that the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act has blocked 2 million gun sales to criminals, domestic abusers and other dangerous people. In that group of blocked persons called domestic abusers are perhaps thousands of people that have been denied their right to purchase a firearm simply because they had a heated argument with their counterpart that got a little loud and a nosey neighbor called the law." ... |

"Yes, Smith & Wesson already makes the M&P22, only they really don’t. The full-size M&P22 is made for Smith in Germany, a vestige of their one-time relationship with Walther. And the M&P22 is a full-size pistol. Which means Smith doesn’t really have anything to go up against 'tactical rimfire' guns like Walther’s P22, SIG’s Mosquito or, most importantly, Ruger’s SR22. Until now. Today, S&W is introducing the new Smith-made M&P22 Compact. A hammer-fired single action, 3.6” threaded barrel, 10+1, two mags, ambi safety, fully-adjustable rear sight and an MSRP of $389. Press release after the jump . . ." ... |

"On February 23, 2014 I was at Okeechobee Shooting Sports (where I work) along with a few members and friends enjoying a game of 5-stand. I was also there to help a friend get his wife — who happens to be terrified of guns — comfortable and interested in shooting. I had grabbed a flat of Rio 12 gauge 1-1/8 #8 off the sales floor. During the outing, a shell exploded in the Fausti Caledon I was shooting. The bang was loud enough that shooters from the two neighboring fields came over to see what happened. I was literally stunned for about five minutes. My right ear went almost deaf for 30 minutes or so and was pretty sensitive to loud noises for a month . . ." ... |

"Joe and I both really enjoyed Walther’s PPQ M2 5″ in 9mm. Actually, Joe is still enjoying it since he couldn’t bring himself to return the loaner and decided, instead, to purchase it. Considering how good that gun was, it was clear I had to get my hands on Walther’s .22 LR version of the PPQ. This isn’t a smaller scale, pot metal, cheapo plinker like so many .22 pistols out there — it’s the full-size PPQ you know and love, made by Walther, with the same controls and slide length options as its centerfire brother and with a pretty darn good trigger in its own right. This time I’m calling 'dibs,' and just plunked down some sawbucks of my own to add this bad boy to the stable . . ." ... |

"When it comes to armed self-defense, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. For example, using a weapon-mounted light is an excellent idea – IF you know what you’re doing AND you’ve practiced under stress. If you don’t, a great many things can go badly wrong. Leaving a gun light on as you sweep a room or house tells the bad guy exactly where to aim his gun and/or mount a physical attack. A far better technique: switch the light on for a quick picture, then turn it off a fraction of a second later and move (while listening for target information). To do that, though, you have to have the right gun light and excellent control of the mechanism. And then there’s whole firing the gun thing . . ." ... |

"When you hear gentle music in the background of a TV news package about a shooting death it’s a sure sign that the producer is pro-civilian disarmament. It’s only a matter of time before the announcer says something along the lines of 'the bereaved parents are looking to pass Nicholas' Bill in New York State.' You know; some gun control bill that would have saved the young boy or girl’s life. No mention’s made of the legislation’s downside, or the fact that the new law violates the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Ah, but this time, on Fox & Friends, Tucker Carlson was there to put the report in a less flattering light . . ." ... |

"On Tuesday August 5th 2014, Superior Court Judge Michael Donio declined to dismiss a case for unlawful possession of a firearm against Philadelphia resident Shaneen Allen."
"Allen was arrested during a traffic stop last October after she volunteered to the officer that she had a firearm in her car. She mistakenly believed her Pennsylvania license to carry firearms was valid in New Jersey. This was hardly an unreasonable assumption, considering that Pennsylvania concealed carry licensees can lawfully carry in over 30 other states." ... |

Allen had only obtained her Pennsylvania carry permit a week before she drove into New Jersey to help set up a surprise party. She was, as Frank Jack Fiamingo, president of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS) observed, 'squeaky clean.'" ... |

... "The political elements in this case are as relevant as they are disgusting. Certainly, not everyone whose political philosophy is left of center is an enemy of the Second Amendment, but normally, those that style themselves Progressives–denizens of the Left–are very much anti-gun. They oppose the right to self-defense, seeing it as an affront to government, which must have a monopoly on arms. As a result, they are more than happy to see anyone accidently violating even the most inflexible and draconian anti-gun laws be imprisoned, their lives ruined. This is not so much a desire for law and order ... but an expression of what they believe to be the proper power relationship between 'the people' and the government: government has it all, 'the people' have none.

"Weapon control is now, and has always been, about denying minorities a right to keep and bear arms."
"Sometimes those gun control laws are targeted at races (like many in the South and the West) or ethnic minorities (Northeast and upper Midwest), and sometimes they are aimed at religious minorities as a way of setting them up for genocide. Gun control is nothing more or less than a way of stripping a targeted community of the ability to defend itself from tyrannical governments."
