Doctor defends armed self-defense in California medical journal.

Some medical organizations have called for more gun laws. This California doctor replied with facts.
-There is no epidemic of murder with a firearm.
-More gun laws will not reduce violent crime because gun laws don't work.
-Gun laws are a political distraction from the real sources of violence.

Christopher Lapinski, the operations manager at Last Stand Readiness & Tactical, a gun shop in Sacramento, is considering moving his operation out of California, thanks to the states continued determination to restrict gun sales further. In the meantime he is enjoying a booming business, especially in handguns, as Californians rush to buy them before they cant. As Lapinski told Fox News: The whole anti-gun movement taking guns from [law-abiding] citizens literally has everyone and their grandmother buying firearms before they cant get them anymore.

Guns are selling at unprecedented levels this summer, which means 2016 is well on its way to breaking the all-time record for background checks. Background checks conducted by the FBI totaled 1,853,815 in August 2016, a 6% increase from August 2015. That's the most checks ever in the month of August since the FBI started conducting background checks in 1998. In fact, every monthly tally this year has hit an all-time high, meaning that 2016 is on track to be the record year for background checks and, by proxy, gun sales.

The next president will have a range of issues on their plate, from how to deal with growing tensions with China and Russia, to an ongoing war against ISIS. But perhaps the most important decision they will make for overall human history is what to do about autonomous weapons systems (AWS), aka killer robots. The new president will literally have no choice. It is not just that the technology is rapidly advancing, but because of a ticking time bomb buried in US policy on the issue.

Webster defines civil rights as rights that every person should have regardless of his or her sex, race or religion. Im pretty sure the right to defend your life is on that list, wouldnt you agree? Something Ive been thinking about lately is that the Constitution, our right to keep and bear arms, is listed with our other civil rights. The right to worship the God you want, the right to say what you feel, the right to be treated fairly by a court. Those are all civil rights. You are born with them regardless of what the Constitution says.

After a primary election season that featured the Republican candidate for governor shooting guns and blowing things up, the National Rifle Association on Tuesday endorsed his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster.

The NRA Political Victory Fund said Kosters commitment to the Second Amendment earned him an A rating.

For over 17 years, he has fought to preserve the constitutional rights of law-abiding Missourians, said Chris W. Cox, chairman, NRA-PVF. The NRA is proud to endorse Chris Koster and we urge Missouris gun owners and sportsmen to get out this November and vote to elect a governor with a proven record of fighting to preserve the Second Amendment.

The Pride Fund to End Gun Violence, the new political action committee formed in the wake of the Pulse nightclub shootings, announced Tuesday that it is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. Hillary has such a strong record on not only gun policy but LGBT rights, said Jason Lindsay, the PAC's founder and executive director. We truly feel like she is the best candidate, not only to protect the LGBT community but to stand up to the gun lobby.
