... "Per Project VoteSmart documentation of her voting record on guns, Torres voted to prohibit semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazine, to expand the list of crimes that disqualify individuals from firearms ownership, to prohibit lead ammunition for hunting, to prohibit open carry, and to expand firearms registration, among other bills considered in the California Senate. And there is no reason to believe this 'symbol of leadership' for migrants' won’t do the same thing at the national level." ... |

... "I've observed before, this is nothing short of child abuse under color of authority. It’s also an insidious form of cultural brainwashing, where references to that which the founders deemed 'necessary to the security of a free State' are erased from the collective memory. It’s mass purging, not all that dissimilar to a practice perfected by the murderous tyrant Stalin, as illustrated in 'The Commissar Vanishes,' and which Orwell chillingly elaborated on with his description of 'unpersons'.” ... |

"The American Bar Association (ABA) has come out with a startling, indeed groundbreaking white paper ... This report is startling for displaying just how ignorant and uninformed an ostensibly select group of lawyers can be. It also breaks new ground in attempting to re-cast crime victims as criminals for choosing to fight back while painting their would-be assailants as victims. Now I could go into one of my famous multi-thousand word, highly detailed and meticulously annotated dissertations, identifying and eviscerating each logical flaw, unsupported assumption, undulating lie and outright falsification in the report, but I am not going to do that here for two reasons . . ." ... |

"With the 9th Circuit ruling in Peruta, Guam, Hawaii, and the Northern Mariana Islands can no longer sustain heavy restrictions on the ownership and carry of handguns. Guam has already reformed its law. Hawaii now has a ruling against it and is waiting to see what happens with the Peruta decision. Now the Northern Mariana Islands have had a lawsuit filed against them to repeal the total ban there on the ownership and carry of handguns. It’s hard to see how such a ban can stand, given the decisions in Heller, McDonald, and Peruta . . ." ... |

"In a recent TTAG thread I watched as a debate ensued over the words 'well regulated' and their meaning in the Second Amendment. I read an article recently from a deluded anti-gun liberal who pushed the idea that Madison, Jefferson and Washington were nothing but rich, white landowners who wanted a militia to put down revolts. He stated that all pro-gun folks were crazy to think otherwise. The reason we think otherwise is because history tells us otherwise . . ." ... |

... "With the help of a compliant press and the entertainment business, which makes the violent video games and movies that I think play the biggest role in mass shootings, Democrats took advantage of the recent tragedy of the young girl who accidentally shot her gun instructor during a lesson to call for more gun control."
"First, Obama, Hollywood and mainstream liberal media offices are all protected by gun-toting security. They are safe precisely because their guards have guns. Second, if more laws and gun control really worked, Obama could just outlaw all shootings of people. Chicago and Washington, D.C., have strong gun control laws, yet are violent." ... |

"A press release from Washington State University [click here to read] promotes the findings of its aptly named SHOT Lab (the Simulated Hazardous Operational Tasks Laboratory). The report, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Criminology, confirms that there are indeed racial disparities in defensive shootings. But the conclusions don’t reveal the disparity we’ve been primed to expect . . ."
"In summary, although the subjects of the study (85 percent of them white) were more likely to show an unconscious threat reaction when confronted with black suspects, they took longer to fire at black suspects than at white or Hispanic suspects — and were less likely to fire in error." ... |

"Free floated Key-Mod handguards seem to be all the rage. A bunch of companies make them. I’ve had the pleasure to try out a few, and over the last few months I’ve started to form an opinion of them as a whole. Mostly, I like them. As a guy with small hands, I can certainly appreciate the slimmer profile provided by not having Picatinny rail sprouting from every surface, and I generally enjoy a lighter gun whenever possible. Strike Industries has a Key-Mod handguard that features a cut out for an A2 sight that claims to be lightweight, durable, and endlessly modular thanks to Key-Mod as part of their Mega Fins line of handguards. I got the opportunity to try it out, and I’m mostly a fan . . ." ... |

"Chicago’s activist Catholic Priest, Father Michael Pfleger was on hand at Saturday’s Brady Campaign rally against Chuck’s Guns in Riverdale, Illinois. Pfleger is to firearms civil rights what Bull Connor was to racial civil rights in the 1960s. It wasn’t that many years ago that the man of the cloth called on the owner of Chuck’s Guns, John Riggio, to be 'snuffed out' – using the lingo of his parishioners. Pfleger had used the same thinly veiled call for violence against Illinois legislators who voted against gun control. Pfleger didn’t call for anyone to be snuffed out yesterday, but he did enjoy the protection of three armed bodyguards . . ." ... |

"The standard bill of fare gun control activists serve up includes demands for a ban on firearms they consider too scary for civilians to use. Firearms like AR-15 rifles, or certain styles of shotguns. Their rallying cry is that these guns have 'no legitimate use' — that they’re weapons of war and need to be removed from the streets. Obviously they don’t quite grasp the point of the Second Amendment, but when they start using that rationale to oppose products like TrackingPoint’s rifle, their message goes off the rails. It becomes obvious that they simply are scared of change, and just want everything that doesn’t fit their idea of 'acceptable' firearms to go away. ..." ... |

"I grew-up in an anti-gun culture: the east side of Providence, Rhode Island. I didn’t hold a handgun until I was in my twenties. Prior to that point, and for some time thereafter, I didn’t know how to load or unload a handgun or the four safety rules or how a gun behaves under recoil. Neither did anyone in my family. What if I’d gone to a friend’s house and he’d pulled out a gun for us to play with? What if a drunk co-worker in Atlanta had done the same? Who knows what would have happened? I grew up amongst a disarmed populace. I was gun ignorant. I was gun unsafe. So the 'revelation' that the father of the girl who shot her Uzi instructor is from Weehawken, New Jersey is instructive, in the sense that . . ." ... |

"In ... 'An Uzi and a 9-year-old girl,' Leonard Pitts criticizes the parents’ lack of judgment for allowing their child to handle a powerful weapon at a shooting range, which resulted in the death of an instructor. I agree with him."
"He then asks, 'What kind of idiot country does not prohibit such things by law?' By such things, he mentions taking a gun into a bar; erecting a shooting range in your backyard; and allowing a blind person to get a gun permit. Pitts says these are the things 'making people in civilized places shake their heads.'"
"The gun carnage those 'people in civilized places' shake their heads over has nothing to do with these occurrences, even if all true. Neither has it anything to do with a lack of gun laws ..." ... |

"Lawmakers return to the Capitol on Wednesday for yet another showdown with Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon. And the Republican super majority expects to make history."
"With 110 members in the House and 23 in the Senate, the GOP has the votes to override any of the governor’s vetoes."
"That probably means ... less-restrictive laws over openly carrying a firearm ..." ...
"Kansas City recently passed a ban on the open carry of firearms. An override would effectively wipe out the ordinance. State lawmakers have framed the issue as a debate over the Second Amendment, arguing cities should not have the authority to limit a constitutionally protected right." ... |

"Aside from the seriously big issues of the day — the ones making President Obama wish he had stayed a community organizer in Chicago — sometimes it’s important to ponder the everyday decisions governments make."
"For example, the District of Columbia, home of the nation’s capital, is trying to figure out how to write a law that will permit presumably law-abiding citizens to carry guns on the street without turning the city into the Wild, Wild West."
"So many questions. Must weapons be concealed or hurled about openly? Could a resident carry a gun into City Hall, the White House or the Capitol? Will, heaven forbid, Virginians or Marylanders be able to come into the District with their guns?" ... |

"Gun tourism is under renewed attack by critics that detest seeing businesses thrive off the American Second Amendment right to bear arms. The political Left has been seething since the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling a few years ago which clarified that the right to bear arms was not written for the benefit of law enforcement and the military, but rather for the citizenry to arm and protect itself. As it turns out, guns [i]s a big part of the whole 'Americana' experience. In fact, tourists come from Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia to place their hands on weapons outlawed in their native lands and experience the thrill of firing the automatic weapons." ... |
