"While today’s Seattle Times alerts readers that more than 300 pot stores could spring up around Washington – a few days after the Justice Department said it will not challenge legalized pot laws here or in Colorado – a progressive journal is sneering at the notion that Missouri gun owners want to ignore federal gun laws by way of a state statute."

"Taking advantage of the media attention around the swearing-in of B. Todd Jones as the new director of the [ATF], the Obama administration announced two executive actions aimed at appeasing gun control groups and asserting executive authority. Ostensibly intended to 'curb gun violence,' the measures are even more unlikely to have an impact on crime, suicide, or accidents than most of the proposals we see from the anti-rights crowd. The first proposal deals with the re-importation of U.S.-made, World War II era firearms – guns that have never been common in crime and are prized collectors’ items today. The second proposal deals with the application process for owning items regulated under the [NFA] ..." ... |

"I lived in NYC for half of my life. I was born, raised and educated there. I got all of my scars and stitches there from street and gang fights. Gangs in my time were more like the ones in West Side Story; neighborhood kids who banded together to keep the neighborhood safe and engage in typical juvenile trouble. Unfortunately, other neighborhoods had gangs too and enjoyed encroaching on other’s territory."
"I would guess that today many would be shocked to hear of an 8 year old who carried a switch blade knife and kept a hidden zip gun; given the state of affairs, perhaps not. I never had to use those deadly weapons but just the knowledge that you had them was enough back then to give you a wide berth. ..." ... |

... "Think about this for a second: He’s marginally skilled and suicidal, yet he manages to cost the taxpayers millions, tie up one of the largest PDs in America, as well as a half dozen or so surrounding departments, air his grievances, and panic the street cops into overreacting at every turn which produces dozens, if not hundreds of angry folks. Regime overreaction ALWAYS produces people who fight back."

A very accurate gun with good sights and it best of all, James freaking Bond carried the gun. This last fact alone as sold more PPK's than any other reason.

"American essayist and civil rights leader James A. Baldwin once quipped, 'The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.' This poignant reflection of a man in the forefront what appeared at the time to be a seemingly impossible movement for racial equality, once may have served as a warning to the government that it should fear the people it oppresses. Today, however, Baldwin’s statement serves as a warning to citizens that the real object of their fear should be politicians no longer facing the risk of reelection. President Barack Obama, now comfortably ensconced in his second term, is a man with nothing to lose -- and citizens have good reason to be worried." ... |

Mr. Caffrey’s YouTube interview with Dickey Lee Hullinghorst garnered all of 3,163 views in the last nine days.

"Taxes suck! That’s rather obvious. What may be less obvious though is that there are ways to avoid paying them."
"No, I’m not referring to illicit ways to cheat Uncle Sam, e.g. offshore accounts, under the table dealings, underreporting income, etc. Rather, I am referring specifically to government-approved tax holidays which allow consumers to avoid paying sales tax for a limited time."
"Last week, State Sen. Glenn Hegar (R-Katy) announced his support for a tax-free weekend for sportsmen and gun owners leading up to the fall hunting season. The holiday would be known as the 'Back to Hunt' tax-free weekend, a clever riff off of the 'Back to School' theme." ... |

"Did it really take eight armed men and a squad-size display of paramilitary force to check for dirty water? Some of the miners, who run small businesses, say they felt intimidated."
"Others wonder if the actions of the agents put everyone at risk. ... How is a remote placer miner to know the people in the jackets saying POLICE really are police?"

"Washington D.C. has gone to great lengths to inhibit the 2nd Amendment rights of anyone who dares step foot in the Nation’s capital city. And a new investigative book by The Washington Time’s Emily Miller reveals that Washington, D.C. gun laws are rife with absurdity that is nearly unfathomable." ...
"Among other absurd gun-control laws in Washington, Miller points a particularly unreasonable facet of the city’s anti-gun legislation: Lawmakers in the city have instructed police officers to arrest tourists and other non-residents traveling with spent bullet or shotgun casings."
"The offense, according to Miller’s research, carries a $1,000 fine, a year in jail and a criminal record." ... |

"First, Troy hired former anti-gun Chicago police commissioner Jody Weis ... (who has since been let go)."

Although it was Lon Horiuchi who took the shot that killed an unarmed Vicky Weaver, Dale Monroe was quoted as saying it was a justified shooting and that he would have taken the same shot." ...

"The first month of background checks on private firearm sales in Colorado resulted in 10 denials for people with criminal records."
"Statistics posted online by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation show the denials were in July — the first month universal background checks took effect. A total of 561 people requested criminal background checks on private sales that month. The CBI data did not specify the reason for the denials." ...

Submitter's Note: I'm confused; in the first paragraph you state that there were 10 denials for people with criminal records, but in the very next paragraph you say that the CBI did not specify the reason for the denials. So, which is it? Are you lying or just making $hit up? |

Last week, a state university in Pennsylvania amended their gun control laws to authorize students and employees with permits to carry concealed guns in open areas.

All other firearms remained prohibited from academic buildings, residence halls, and school events." ... |
