OK Gov. Vetoes “Shall-Issue” NFA Bill
From NRA-ILA:
Authored in the House by state Representative Mike Turner (R-82) and in the Senate by state Senator Nathan Dahm (R-33), HB 2461 would require that a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) sign an application for the transfer of any item regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) within fifteen days if the applicant is not prohibited by law from receiving it.
UPDATE:
House Bill 2461 will go to the state Senate where a two-thirds vote would be required to complete the veto override. The bill initially passed the Senate by a vote of 46-0 on April 22.
Wednesday’s House vote came one day after Fallin vetoed 15 House bills, including this one, while criticizing the House for failing to act on important issues, such as Capitol repairs, while passing flawed bills and bills that are irrelevant to most Oklahomans.
Supreme Court Refuses To Hear New Jersey “Justifiable Need” Case
From The Christian Science Monitor:
The court took the action in a one-line order without further comment. It affirms lower court decisions upholding a New Jersey gun permit statute that critics say is too restrictive.
The challenged New Jersey statute prohibits state residents from obtaining a permit to carry a handgun in public unless they can demonstrate a “justifiable need†for such a weapon.
Reason.com’s take here.
CATO Institute’s response:
Drake is but the latest in a series of cases that challenge the most restrictive state laws regarding the right to armed self-defense. Although the Supreme Court in Heller declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual constitutional right, lower federal courts with jurisdiction over states like Maryland and New York have been “willfully confused†about the scope of that right, declining to protect it outside Heller’s particular facts (a complete ban on functional firearms in the home). It’s as if the Supreme Court announced that the First Amendment protects an individual right to blog about politics from your home computer, but then some lower courts allowed states to ban political blogging from your local Starbucks.

Air Force To Review Morale In Global Strike Program
From Military Times:
Under the program, a group of military members, civilian employees and industry representatives traveled to missile bases in Global Strike Command to speak with junior officers and enlisted airmen about their workload, leadership and family issues. Preliminary recommendations focus on ways to increase incentive pay, and improve base infrastructure and accolades for airmen in the community. “Quick look action teams†formed following the review are finalizing their recommendations to Air Force leaders, which are expected within weeks.
Arlington, TX To Pass Ordinance Restricting Open Carry
From NBC:
The first ordinance would put a blanket ban on all weapons and “simulated weapons†at government meetings.
The other would ban all weapons and any objects that resemble a weapon from public government meetings.
Bloomberg Starts Grass Roots Org. With Millions Of Dollars
From Bearing Arms:
Bloomberg is now hoping that the fourth time is a charm, as he’s launched a $50 million vanity project, Everytown for Gun Safety. The prevailing theory behind the effort seems to be an attempt to market gun prohibition as “gun safety,†while attempting to destroy the number one gun safety organization the world has ever known, the National Rifle Association.
California May Have A Chance With Candidates Like This
From local CBS station:
Michelle Ambrozic’s sign depicts a woman holding a rifle with the message: Less Government. Lower Taxes. Liberty.
Soldier Survives Gun Shot To The Neck
From The Telegraph:
Doctors told Lance Corporal Simon Moloney the odds of the bullet missing his airway and major arteries were “a trillion to one,” but despite bleeding heavily, he returned to his post and carried on firing at insurgents for 90 minutes before being flown to safety.
Don’t Mix .300 BLK And 5.56
From Bearing Arms:
Tom’s description of the rifle, magazine, and shooter eerily echo that of other 300 BLK/.223 kabooms I’ve heard of, and in each instance, it appears that lighter .300 BLK bullets can be chambered just enough for a firearm to fire, especially with handloads that might not be seated at the correct depth.
Book – This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible
You can read a review of the book at PJ Media and pre-order it at Amazon.com.
Cobb’s book is both a history of the civil rights movement and a memoir of his involvement. Cobb was a field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), one of the front-line civil rights organizations in the 1960s South. As the name suggests, SNCC — like many of the civil rights organizations — eventually adopted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s belief in peaceful non-resistance. But as Cobb’s book explains, even Dr. King was not initially prepared to turn the other cheek.
Containing Terrorsim With Small Forces
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 24/Apr/2014 07:25
From Lawfare:
The United States is deeply concerned about the potential for countries like Libya, Mali, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and others to export insecurity—particularly terrorism, but also other forms of violence and instability. However, Washington is not willing to dedicate substantial resources to dealing with these crises, as it did in the counterinsurgencies of the 2000s or the peace operations of the 1990s.
9/11 Gitmo Trial Stalls
From Military Times:
The prosecution hoped to start jury selection early next year, but that now seems impossible as a judge conducts an inquiry into the scope and possible legal implications of the apparent investigation of the defense team and legal fights loom over classified evidence from the CIA and other issues.
