Bank of America Anti-Gun?

McMillan Firearms is claiming Bank of America terminated their account because of the industry they were in and because of political reasons.

From Guns.com:

Lastly, and to clarify the impetus behind the decision, McMillan asked, “So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”

According to McMillan, Fox answered in the affirmative and that was the end of the meeting.

Build Your Own Firearm

The Truth About Guns has an interesting article on a little known law that allows individuals to build their own guns without serial numbers if the gun is 80% or less complete. There are some stipulations:

The machine work must be done by the end-user—no contracting it out or having a friend do it. The finished firearm can not be transferred in ANY manner. No willing it to your kids. No giving it to a friend. If you no longer want it, after your inheritors pry it from your cold, dead hands, it MUST be destroyed.

These rules seem arbitrary and silly.

Incoming DNC Head Wants All Gun Purchases Screened

From The Hill:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the current law, which allows private firearm sales without background checks, is “outrageous.” The Florida Democrat is sponsoring a soon-to-be-released proposal extending the screening requirements to all gun purchases, commercial or private.

This will only hurt the Democratic Party and the President if any kind of bill is introduced. Every time the Democrats propose something related to guns we all know that it is intended as a stepping stone to eventual disarmament of the American public. For those that have forgotten:

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

“A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” (emphasis added)

BREAKING: Firearm Regulation Hearing Set for the 14th

The U.S. Senate has scheduled a hearing for the 14th of September titled “Firearms in Commerce: Assessing the Need for Reform in the Federal Regulatory Process”

Does that sound good to anyone? If you live in or near D.C. I urge you to sit in on this hearing and report back what was discussed. It sounds to me like another improper use of the “commerce clause”.

Additional Info: The hearing was called by the chairman of the committee Senator Leahy of Vermont.

UN Treaty Is Backdoor Gun Ban For USA

Via Big Government:

Gun owners might not feel besieged right now, but they should be very concerned. Last week the Obama administration announced its support for the UN Small Arms Treaty. This treaty poses real risks for freedom and safety in the United States as well as the rest of the world.

The UN’s solution isn’t too surprising when one looks at the long list of notorious totalitarian regimes, such as Syria, Cuba, Rwanda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, and Sierra Leone, which support these “reforms.” But not all insurgencies are “bad.” To ban providing guns to rebels in totalitarian countries is like arguing that there is never anything such as a just war.
