Cop Attempts to Sell Class 3 Weapon, Not Charged
From WSBRadio.com:
When Doraville received the tip they contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
“Because the weapon had not been delivered,” Callaway says, “it didn’t meet their threshold for a crime.”
Mann was dismissed from the Doraville police department. He can appeal his firing.
Would a civilian like you or me not be charged if we tried to sell a Class 3 weapon without the proper paperwork? It is my opinion that there should be no such thing as a Class 3 weapon in the first place.
U.S. Senator Proposes Gun Law With Unproven Technology
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 6/Mar/2014 08:05
From Boston.com:
The Gun Owners Action League of Massachusetts said the technology championed by Markey is often flawed and smart guns ‘‘only work correctly in the movies.’’
‘‘No technology should stand between a lawful gun owner using his/her firearm,’’ the group said in a written statement. ‘‘We also find it more than disingenuous that a senator with very little knowledge of firearms, who has worked to stifle the Second Amendment, would offer mandated technology that gun owners have not asked for, nor supported.’’

Ending The Violence In Ukraine
From US News:
Of immediate concern is preventing the fighting from escalating still further into a bloody civil war. The risk of a broader conflict would increase significantly if Yanukovych feels compelled to call in the army in a desperate last-ditch attempt to restore order. However, such a course is fraught with serious risks, especially if some army units refuse an order to fire on their fellow citizens.
NYC Gun Fee “Violates Equal Protection”
From The Gun Mag:
The lawsuit challenges New York City’s $340 fee for a three-year handgun license, which is the highest such fee imposed for a gun possession license anywhere in the United States. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb noted that the fee anywhere else in the entire state of New York is $10, but the city is exempted from that law, The city’s higher fee, he said, “discourages city residents from exercising their civil rights while violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.â€
Supreme Court May Take Up Several Gun Cases In Next Term
From Detroit Free Press:
…a federal appeals court panel’s divided ruling last week in a California case makes it more likely that the question of guns outside the home will be heading to the high court soon.
To date, the biggest split from that trend involved an Illinois law that was much more restrictive than those in other states. Its ban on carrying concealed weapons in nearly all circumstances was struck down by a 7th Circuit appeals court panel. Rather than appealing to the Supreme Court, however, the state amended the law to allow for public possession, with restrictions.

Ukraine Turns From Revolution to Recovery
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 25/Feb/2014 14:16
“Ukraine Turns From Revolution to Recovery is republished with permission of Stratfor.”
By George Friedman
The uprising in Kiev has apparently reached its conclusion. President Viktor Yanukovich and the opposition reached an agreement, negotiated by the Polish, German and French foreign ministers. The parliament is now effectively in charge, deciding who will be ministers and when elections will be held, whether to dismiss judges and so on. It isn’t clear whether the parliament can fire the sitting president without impeachment and trial, but all of this is now moot. What is interesting is that the Polish, French and German foreign ministers negotiated an outcome that, for practical purposes, ignored the Constitution of Ukraine. It sets an interesting precedent. But for Ukraine, the constitution didn’t have the patina of tradition that a true constitution requires, and few will miss Yanukovich. Read the rest of this entry »
