"More than 650 gun rights activists have already pre-registered for the 26th annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, which is being held Sept. 23-25 at the Chicago O’Hare airport Hyatt Regency."
"SAF Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said this year’s GRPC will attract gun rights leaders and grassroots activists from across the country. It is being held in Chicago in recognition of the landmark Supreme Court ruling last year in McDonald v. City of Chicago that saw the Second Amendment incorporated to the states, thus applying to state and local gun laws and regulations as well as federal statutes. SAF brought that lawsuit in cooperation with the Illinois State Rifle Association and four Chicago residents." ... |

"Racism is a word that is, unfortunately, tossed around all too freely in modern-day America."
"While it has become a catch-all villain in politics, responsible for all manner of Very Bad Things, there was a time when racism was a cherished institution in these United States. And although our nation has made great strides in confronting and vanquishing the evil of racism, some trappings remain, notably in the form of gun control." ... |

... "The whole idiotic assault on Gibson Guitars is reminiscent of what firearms dealers, manufacturers, importers, and owners have been dealing with for decades. Firearms importers have had literal boatloads of products seized on the basis of some obscure paperwork complication and even when the issue is resolved, the seized guns might not be returned. Gun shops have been closed down and their entire inventories confiscated on the basis of customers using 'Y' and 'N' rather than 'Yes' and 'No' on purchase forms ... When guns are returned, they are often damaged ... and there have even been cases where agents have lost parts of a dealers seized records and then come back and cited the dealers for not being able to produce the records the agents lost." ... |

"Days after a federal judge ruled in a New York case that Empire State residents do not have a constitutional right to carry concealed handguns in public, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee yesterday took up the debate over whether states should be required to recognize and honor valid concealed carry permits or licenses issued by other states."
"This would make Washington’s concealed pistol license valid across the nation, an advantage that no citizen from any state currently enjoys, and likewise, licenses and permits from other states would be honored in the Evergreen State, just like a driver’s license." ... |

"The Violence Policy Center has this meme that gun rights movement only exists to build sales for the firearms industry. In return, the firearms industry fully funds it. This is, of course, nonsense and they know it."
"In their fevered imaginations, any donation made by any firearms company is for the sole purpose of co-opting the recipient and building firearm sales. To think that they would make the contribution out of a sense of patriotism, altruism, or a belief in constitutional rights is unfathomable to their little minds."

"Living in Texas isn’t always riding to the trading post on horseback and shooting Injuns. Between Dallas, Houston, and Austin, we have some serious high power, hi tech cities. I just happen to live in the liberal oasis of Travis County. Seen in this photograph. Keep in mind that I grew up in the sea of red west of Austin where guns are tools a person uses to get things done. They aren’t scary killing machines. They are like tractors, trucks, and women. Some are a little nicer than others, some a little heavier, some a little shinier; some have a bit too much power. But, when the rubber meets the road, they all have a purpose . . ." ... |

"I had a little chin wag with Brent Carlton yesterday. The president of comm2a.com (Commonwealth Second Amendment) and I discussed the case of Stan Sokolowski, a Lowell gun collector whose guns were stolen from his vault. The police investigation of the theft quickly became a police investigation of Mr. Sokolowski. Well, slowly, actually. The po-po interrogated Mr. S. for seven hours. Whilst checking out the crime scene, the cops found hand-loading supplies [allegedly] in excess of the Massachusetts Fire Marshall’s regs. They charged Sokolowski with illegal manufacture of explosives. Needless to say, the State yanked his firearms ID card; Sokolowski is now a gunless gun collector. Unarmed. So many important lessons here . . ." ... |

"Attorneys with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the law firms Ropes & Gray and Astigarraga Davis won a court ruling today blocking a gag law that would restrict health-care providers from warning patients about the risks posed by firearms." ...
-------
KABA Note: How about doctors warning patient about flat-out lies promulgated by anti-gun groups like the Brady Bunch? The law in no way prohibits "health-care providers from warning patients about the risks posed by firearms" it merely prohibits doctors from asking about gun ownership unless the doctor believes it is "relevant to the patient's medical care or safety, or the safety of others". Wow, so doctors can now ask about and record potentially sensitive and irrelevant information. What's next, asking about political affiliations? |

Or, for that matter, that tire irons brandished in rage don't kill people. Of course they do, when taken in hand. Yet there is something in their lack of immediacy ... that always removes them from this argument."
