The Second Amendment Is The Foundation Of The Bill Of Rights
Posted by Brian in Law, Opinion, Threat Watch on 26/May/2018 07:00
From The Federalist:
So, why did the founders feel the need to specify the right to bear arms in the constitution? After all, wouldn’t it be just as wrong for the government to take away any other possession? Why add a specific amendment about guns? The answer is that the founders understood the important role guns play in establishing and preserving a free society. They found this out firsthand.

Intuit Continues Assault On Gun Companies
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 25/May/2018 07:00
From The Truth About Guns:
Yesterday, I spent time on the phone with Rob Hansel of Lone Wolf Distributors and John Heikkinen of Flint River Armory. The two companies sometimes do business together and recently had a rather large transaction go awry as a result of Intuit QuickBooks’ apparent anti-gun policy. The conversations were both interesting and enlightening, the latter because these issues highlight ongoing business practices with dishonest undertones on the part of Intuit.
USA Today Refers To Pistols And Shotguns As “Less-lethal”
From Bearing Arms:
The attack at a Texas high school Friday echoed the all-too-familiar horrors Americans are accustomed to seeing on the news. But two details set it apart from the list of other recent deadly attacks: explosives and the less-lethal weapons used.
Anti-gunners’ New Tactics
From Bearing Arms:
Anti-gunners recently decided to try a new tactic. They purchased Ruger stock with the intention of trying to force the company to act in a manner they think is more responsible. To an extent, it worked. They were able to get enough muscle to force the company to issue a report about how the company tracks violence associated with its products.
Shootings: Perception vs Reality
From Mises.org:
And when it comes to things like homicides, there is no evidence that things are getting worse. It is indeed true that things aren’t like they were “when we were kids,” but that’s a good thing. There were far more homicides in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s than there are today. Things were even worse than that during the 1970s. In fact, the homicide rate in the US was cut in half between 1991 and 2014. And while the homicide rate has inched up over the past two years, it is nowhere near where it was “when we were kids.”
Medical Journal Blames NRA Members For Most Gun Deaths
From NaturalNews.com:
A popular medical journal recently took a swipe at the Second Amendment with the publishing of a ridiculous letter to the editor that claims firearm-related injuries drop every year during the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association (NRA) – the implication being that law-abiding gun-owners are largely responsible for gun-associated injuries and deaths in the United States.
A Short History of American Gun Bans
From Reason.com:
Josh Sugarmann, founder and executive director of the Violence Policy Center, laid out this strategy of misdirection and obfuscation in a 1988 report on “Assault Weapons and Accessories in America.” Sugarmann observed that “the weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
He added that because “few people can envision a practical use for these guns,” the public should be more inclined to support a ban on “assault weapons” than a ban on handguns. While handguns are by far the most common kind of firearm used to commit crimes, they are also the most popular choice for self-defense. Proscribing “assault weapons” therefore sounds more reasonable.
California Continues Assault on Second Amendment
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 14/May/2018 17:09
From Reason.com:
Two new federal court decisions highlight a harsh new reality: California has effectively repealed the Second Amendment inside its borders.
In the first case, decided yesterday, a district judge ruled against the National Rifle Association’s state affiliate in a challenge to onerous new California rules targeting popular semi-automatic rifles. That 2016 law, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D), is called the Assault Weapons Control Act.
Heller Was The First Step In Repealing The Second Amendment
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 13/May/2018 16:04
From The Federalist:
The Second Amendment was repealed, in effect, by Heller’s majority opinion. The opinion went beyond questions raised in the case and laid out a rationale by which Congress, states, and courts could ban the private possession of many offensive and defensive arms today and all such arms of the future.
Carry Guard Insurance Fined In New York
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 8/May/2018 15:16
This is an interesting development because many gun controllers have floated the idea of required insurance as a way to make gun ownership more expensive.
From Guns.com:
New York regulators found that the self-defense insurance program offered by the National Rifle Association unlawfully provided liability insurance in the state, according to Monday’s announcement.
Student Questioned At School About Pictures From Gun Range
From Guns.com:
Fast forward to the next school day and Kashuv said he was pulled him out of class and questioned “intensely†by two school resource officers and a Broward County Deputy over the tweets and the visit.
What the hell is going on? They can’t seriously think the kid is a threat. This is just more evidence of gun haters trying to equate everything involving guns as something bad.
Bill Whittle: Guns, Knives, Facebook and Free Speech

Anti-gun Groups Now Honest About Abolishing Second Amendment
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 10/Apr/2018 07:07
From Townhall.com:
Critics often accuse the National Rifle Association of paranoia for arguing that gun controllers want to eliminate the Second Amendment. Well, being paranoid doesn’t mean the NRA is wrong.
Look no further than former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who is arguing this week that the Parkland, Florida, students and their allies shouldn’t settle for mere restrictions on guns. They should lobby Congress and the states to abolish the Second Amendment.
