Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 7/Jul/2018 07:00
From SOTT.net:
Czech president MiloÅ¡ Zeman has put his name to a petition opposing an EU diktat which would clamp down on legal gun-owners and backed a constitutional amendment which would guarantee citizens’ right to keep arms for self-defence and protection of the homeland.
Using The Right Gear
Posted by Brian in Gear, Opinion, Threat Watch, Training on 6/Jul/2018 12:10
From SOFREP:
Good gear, in most cases, is only there to make your life a bit easier, not to compensate for a lack of range time or a technical deficiency but it’s important to note that while good quality gear may not make you a better shooter, bad gear can potentially make you a dead one.
Military Underground Urban Training
From Military.com:
Late last year, the Army launched an accelerated effort that funnels some $572 million into training and equipping 26 of its 31 active combat brigades to fight in large-scale subterranean facilities that exist beneath dense urban areas around the world.
Bias and the Gun Debate
The guy is Canadian and misses a few points but overall it’s worth a read.
From Medium:
So why to do we continue to argue about this? One problem that I rarely see being discussed is that many of us have limited experience with guns and/or violence and have to rely on what we know from memory and from external source and we’re susceptible to cognitive biases.
Every Gun An “Assault Weapon”
Posted by Brian in Law, Opinion, Threat Watch on 5/Jul/2018 12:05
From Bearing Arms:
Following the Santa Fe High School shooter and the Capital Gazetteshooter both using shotguns, though, it seems that anti-gunners are trying to use that to open the door on broader restrictions.
SAS Soldier vs Taliban
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 5/Jul/2018 07:00
From The Daily Wire:
The mission had only been partially successful because the base was destroyed, but the SAS were after a “high-value target†and he had escaped into the tunnels. It was pretty clear none of the Afghan commandos was going to go in after him so he volunteered. There wasn’t enough room to use a long-barreled weapon so the Brit used his Glock 9mm pistol and grabbed a claw hammer. He couldn’t see the Taliban but he could hear and smell them. He shot three of them dead one after the other but then his pistol jammed. He fought two more in the dark where the tunnel opened into a larger room that was partially lit by a candle. After he killed those two, he was attacked by another but killed him almost instantly with a single blow.
Court: Impossible Doesn’t Mean Unconstitutional
From NRA-ILA:
The majority of the court went further, though, and eliminated the possibility that its own rule could be applied to make the law inoperative in this or any other case: “Neither the text nor the purpose of the Act contemplates that a showing of impossibility can excuse compliance with the statutory requirement once the statute goes into effect,†adding that Section 3531 did “not authorize courts to independently carve out exceptions for impossibility†once the certification had been made.
Independence Day
From The Washington Times:
We celebrate the Fourth of July with our parades and fireworks to mark the Declaration of Independence’s proclamation beginning the American Revolution. But Independence Day presents an opportunity to think, along with Thomas Paine, about the American Revolution’s deeper meaning, both to Americans and to the rest of the world.
The State of Concealed Carry Reciprocity
From The Truth About Guns:
One of the most hotly debated issues on the Second Amendment is over the right to carry firearms outside the home.  Today, each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia authorizes ordinary citizens to carry a handgun in most public places under one of the following three regimes:
- Constitutional Carry: 12 states
- Shall-Issue permit: 30 states and DC
- May-Issue permit: 8 states

Maryland Gov candidate suggests banning shotguns
From The Truth About Guns:
“We will, in the next [Maryland] legislative session, have to have a real conversation about how we finish the job here of our assault weapons ban. But we have to go much further. Journalists were killed with a shotgun.â€
Supreme Court Continues To Ignore Second Amendment Cases
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 2/Jul/2018 13:29
From Reason:
Ten years ago this week, the Supreme Court for the first time explicitly recognized that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to armed self-defense. Since then the Court has revisited the subject only twice, while it has heard about 45 cases involving the Fourth Amendment and about 60 involving the First.
Gun Group Files Massive Comment In Support Of Bump Stocks
From Guns.com:
The more than 900-pages of documentation was compiled with the assistance of attorneys Joshua Prince and Adam Kraut of the Pennsylvania-based Firearms Industry Consulting Group, argue that the prohibition could affect as many as 500,000 bump stock owners unconstitutionally, making those who don’t comply subject to criminal action and those who do left without compensation for their legally-purchased property.
