"You don’t remember Caryn? She is was the editor of the Rockland County Journal Register who decided, in the wake of Newtown, that outing legal gun owners was the responsible thing to do. The paper then published the names and addresses of every registered gun owner in Rockland and Westchester counties in New York via an interactive map. Sure, you remember now. Gun owners weren’t pleased because they became targets for thieves looking for firearms. ..." ... |

"The Second Amendment Foundation was smiling yesterday when it learned that the Umatilla, Ore. City Council had repealed an ordinance regulating firearms possession in response to a letter SAF sent to the city in mid-July, explaining that the ordinance violated state preemption."
"It’s not the first time SAF has flexed its muscle to encourage local municipalities to comply with state preemption statutes. There was the famed Oak Harbor incident in January, and SAF has gotten lots of publicity for blanketing communities in Maryland for local regulations that run afoul of state law there." ... |

... "... I had my 1911 and M16 but there were dozens of them and two of us. The medics and doctor were unarmed. At first this was not a problem as we could see the VC advancing across the paddy fields in the distance and had plenty of time to get back into the deuce and a half truck and high tail it out of there. However, the truck would not start up. The other armed guy and I took up defensive positions while one of the medics kept trying to start the truck while another had the hood open. After what seemed like an eternity the truck engine came to life and we jumped aboard just in time as the distinctive sound of AK47 and SKS rifles rang out all around us, and headed out of Dodge." ... |

"As we reported back in July, Arsenal promised to release a 'real GAME CHANGER.' Well, HERE IT IS! The SAM7SF rifle. ... The big news? It’s got a right-folding stock on a forged and milled receiver with an ambidextrous safety. The receiver manufacturing process kicks ass (allegedly) because 'While firing, the forged and milled receiver does not have the same deformation issues that are typical to stamped receiver models. The stamped receiver usually flexes and warps during these operations, and can be observed with a high speed, slow motion camera. The solid platform of the forged and milled receiver ensures superior accuracy.' ... All yours for $1349 while supplies last! Arsenal only has 500 units on offer. For now . . ." ... |

"In short, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (Hired Guns to Stop Gun Ownership might be a better name for them, and no, we’re not going to link to them ...) claimed that the murder rate in Murder City, USA – Chicago, IL – is but a mere 6.4 homicides per 100,000 people in an effort to prove that Chicago’s antiquated strict gun control laws work." ...
"In the small print at the bottom of the page, it notes the statistic refers to the Chicago 'Metropolitan Statistical Area', not Chicago proper. The Chicago MSA covers territory from Indiana to Wisconsin! ..."
"To quote Roy: 'The REAL homicide rate for the CITY of Chicago, where all the laws they want are in place, is 15.94/100k for the year of 2011.'" ... |

"The letter sets the table for a Senate hearing announced last month on the laws, which eliminate the legal duty to retreat before individuals are allowed to defend themselves with deadly force."
"Durbin and many other Democrats have attempted to tie the laws to the 2012 shooting of Martin, even though Zimmerman never invoked the law as a defense and instead relied on uncontroversial self-defense laws that exist in all 50 states." ... |

"Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner has uncovered a fascinating document: an 80-page 'talking points' monograph titled 'Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging,' written by a trio of Democratic political operatives."
"The document, as Bedard writes, instructs politicians and advocates 'to hype high-profile gun incidents like the Florida slaying of Trayvon Martin to win support for new gun control laws.' Essentially it's a how-to book on inciting a moral panic." ... |

"The past seven months have been a whirlwind of legislative battles on Capitol Hill concerning our Second Amendment rights."
"It has been one assault after the next with Obama’s Executive Orders, Toomey-Manchin background check expansion, Harry Reid’s gun control package (S.649), radical anti-gun nominees and the crown-jewel, the U.N. 'Small Arms Treaty.'"
"It would be easy to get overwhelmed with such a wave of attacks and lose sight of other objectives."
"Like any good coach will tell his team, the key to a good defense is a solid offense."
"That’s why we at NAGR are constantly working with legislators on the Hill to push pro-gun bills that do one thing — repeal anti-gun legislation already on the books." ... |

"Christie, widely seen as a probable GOP candidate for president in 2016, signed off on the slate of bills, most of which were non-controversial ..."
"One of the new laws will disqualify any person on the federal terrorist watch list from obtaining firearms identification cards or permits to purchase handguns." ...
"Civil liberties advocates have criticized the watch list for its secrecy. The list is not public, nor can one petition to have his name removed from it. There were about 420,000 names on the watch list as of 2011. It has swollen to nearly 900,000 as of this year." ... |

"The Chicago City Council rushed through modifications of their 'gun control' ordinance. Among the changes, is a 'student safety zones' penalty enhancement for possessing a gun while in one of these zones and the other deals with so-called 'evil' guns with a capacity over some arbitrary limit set by the political hacks in Chicago City government."
"The only problem?"
"Under the new carry law enacted, the state has sole regulatory power over transporting firearms. So long as a firearm is transported legally under state law, there’s nothing Chicago police can do about it."
"Sure, they can arrest folks on an ordinance violation, but that would be exposing them to ... civil rights action (sometimes called a 1983 lawsuit)." ... |

Indeed, violent crime in America has been on a steady decline, and if current trends continue, Americans will finish the year 2013 experiencing the lowest murder rate in over a century."
