... "It seems we’ve gotten to the point where if you kill a mother bear you go on trial, and if you murder a mother human you don’t. That is, assuming you’re one of the exalted super citizen 'Only Ones.' And that there are people in high places who know how to work things when their interests are involved."

... "As most decent people are watching the stock market gyrations and following our federal government’s mismanagement of both monetary and fiscal policy, our nation is entering an unpredictable phase. I’m sorry to say that, based on history, things are going to get worse. Just look at London, England, where four nights of rioting hooligans have resulted in the deployment of an extra 16,000 police officers in an attempt to stop the looting, vandalism, destruction, assaults, and robbery."

"'People , criminals, don’t follow the rules,' Colin said. 'They shoot past the laws that only affect the law abiding people. You know I understand people will always run red lights, people will always drive recklessly, there will be some people who will always speed. So is your idea that we should not have traffic lights or stop signs or speed limits because people will break the rules and the only people who will be diverted will be the law abiding people?'" ...

"Airsoft is fun (I guess, I’ve never owned any Airsoft guns), but what about when you get bored of shooting little plastic gubbins and yearn for steel instead? Hackaday, the blog that constantly amazes me with the ingenuity of a bored human mind, has a suggestion: turn your air-powered pellet chucker into a supercharged steel-slinging coilgun. I saw this posted earlier and it was just way too awesome not to share with all of you. Make the jump for a quick explanation of what a coilgun is and some video of the gizmo in action." ... |

... "Wednesday, Politico ran a column by Norris attacking the UN's as-yet-unfinished Arms Trade Treaty. The piece alleged that the Obama administration is trying to sneak in gun control schemes 'under the radar.' A key component of that, Norris wrote, could well be the UN Arms Trade Treaty."
"'The vast majority of UN diplomats,' Norris claimed, 'believe that an arms trade treaty must reach into your gun safe and mine. There is little question this treaty would require additional restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.'"
"There's one problem with that statement: it's about as accurate as a joke from the meme-friendly website, Chuck Norris Facts. " ... |

"A new federal reporting requirement for firearms dealers in four border states, including Texas, intended to curb the flow of weapons into Mexico has prompted a veteran San Antonio gun dealer to file suit against the federal government."
"The [ATF] issued a rule last week requiring licensed firearms dealers to report to the agency any time two or more long rifles are sold to the same buyer within a five-day period. The move comes as the ATF continues to deal with the fallout from its controversial 'Operation Fast and Furious,' an investigation into gun trafficking in which federal agents let hundreds* of weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug-cartel operatives." ...

"On Tuesday night I addressed the Martinsville City Council on their unlawful gun ban that covers their entire municipal building."
"Up until last year, they had their metal detectors only in the access points for their court-related areas. Then, at the request of the Sheriff, the judge declared the whole building a courthouse! The metal detectors were moved to the only public entrance, providing a complete gun ban."
"I started by telling City Council that VCDL prefers to work its way up the ladder to see if a problem can be solved amicably rather than resorting to a lawsuit right out of the box."
"I advised them that their ban on guns in the entire Municipal Building was unlawful under Virginia law and needed to be rescinded." ... |

... "While I would not argue that the Second Amendment precludes society from ever restricting arms in any circumstance – such as to inmates in prison or briefly while police sort out the good guys from the bad guys at an incident – I do believe that it places firearms in a very special and protected place under law; a place where any deprivation of the right should receive special scrutiny and careful consideration. But our judicial system seems to take the exact opposite view. In any legal issue firearms are typically the first thing taken away and the last thing returned – if they are ever returned at all." ... |

Chicago provided a sweeping history of the 14th Amendment's roots in the anti-slavery movement—but that’s only because the 14th Amendment was specifically designed and ratified to counteract the predatory actions of the former Confederate states, who sought to deny the civil, political, and economic rights of black Americans and their white allies—including the right to keep and bear arms. ..." ... |

"Attorney Chuck Michel who works with the NRA/CRPA Legal Action Project in California posted an article this evening about the Sunnyvale, California Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is seeking to have the Sunnyvale City Council adopt a new municipal ordinance which would put increased restrictions on the sale of firearms in Sunnyvale. The Commission is responding to unfounded complaints from some neighbors of a firearms dealer that opened in Sunnyvale in 2010. The complaints include that they weren't notified and that children walk by the store on their way to school as if just merely seeing guns will turn their kids into the next Klebold and Harris (of Columbine infamy)." ... |
