Emily Miller interview on Fox News
Emily Miller has written a multi part column on how difficult it is to get a gun in Washington, D.C.
Crazy People Can Make Sane Points
Jesse Ventura is crazy but he makes a good defense of the second amendment:
Ice T on Gun Control
You may have seen this already but it is an important point that he makes:
Gun Legislation In Progress
-
URGE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE TO VETO SB 1315 . . . NSSF is urging all California sportsmen, retailers and firearm owners to contact Gov. Brown’s office and urge him to veto SB 1315, which would repeal the current state preemption over local laws affecting the manufacture, sale, possession or use of Airsoft, BB or pellet guns in the County of Los Angeles and in any city located within the county. SB 1315 would allow each local government to adopt its own different local ordinances and set a dangerous precedent that could spread to the rest of the state and to all firearms as well. Please contact the governor and urge him to veto SB 1315.
- PRO-GUN REFORM LEGISLATION MOVING IN MICHIGAN . . . Last week, the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation to repeal Michigan’s “permit-to-purchase” (HB 5225) and the state’s registration requirement for handguns. HB 5225, along with companion bills HB 5498 and HB 5499, seeks to make substantive changes that will benefit federally licensed retailers and their customers. NSSF is urging you to please begin contacting your state senator and ask him or her to support HB 5225, 5498 and 5499.
Will You Be Able To Print a Gun In The Future?
According to Forbes columnist Mark Gibbs, you will be able to do just that and he doesn’t like it. The ability to print 3D objects of any material will eventually be cheap enough for everyone. It is the history of technology that it gets better and cheaper.
NRA Opposes Arms Trade Treaty
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 11/Jul/2012 18:35
NRA VP Wayne LaPierre:
U.N. Gun Control Treaty
From Forbes.com:
Under the guise of a proposed global “Small Arms Treaty†premised to fight “terrorismâ€, “insurgency†and “international crime syndicates†you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
Dick Morris explains the treaty:
Washington Times Editor Finally Gets Handgun Permit
Senior editor Emily Miller has been on a quest, determined to navigate the insane bureaucracy of Washington, D.C. to get a handgun for self defense. Even after the Heller case it is still a nightmare. Â You can read the final installment of her series here.
Excerpt:
When I first started the “Emily Gets Her Gun†series, I thought  I would be waiting in long lines and filling out lots of paperwork. I never could have imagined that the D.C. gun laws made it so unearthly difficult to get a legal handgun. However, I also never could have believed that this newspaper series would encourage change in Washington’s gun laws.
Now, this series is far from over. As I’ve found, the hurdles placed before gun owners do not end here. I need to figure out the laws on getting ammunition and transporting the gun to a state that allows practice shooting.
Canada Rolls Back Gun Registry
From National Post:
Bill C-19, the Ending the Long Gun Registry Act, is guaranteed to pass through the House of Commons, thanks to the Conservative government’s majority, but more political wrangling is expected to follow.
The federal law will end the requirement for lawful gun owners to register their long guns, and it relaxes rules around selling or transferring guns. Gun licences for individuals will still be required, and the registry for restricted and prohibited firearms such as handguns will be maintained.
Racist Roots of Gun Control
Over at Reason.com Thadeus Russell has a review of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.
Here is an excerpt from his review:
At the heart of his narrative, Winkler convincingly argues that the people who began the movement against gun control operated not out of the National Rifle Association’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C., but out of a nondescript two-story brick building three blocks from where I sat staring at that pistol: 3106 Shattuck Avenue, in the heart of radical Berkeley. It was there, in 1967, at the headquarters of the Black Panther Party, that Huey Newton and Bobby Seale planned an armed march into the California State Capitol that “launched the modern gun-rights movement.â€
Ed Schultz interview with Joe Zamudio
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 1/Feb/2011 12:09
“The solution is not more laws, the solution is helping people.”
Zamudio: “Sir, when I came through the door I had my hand on my pistol and I clicked the safety off. I was ready to kill him, but I didn’t have to do that and I was very blessed that I didn’t have to go to that place…all I had to do was help.”
Schultz: “You would have used that firearm?”
Zamudio: “You’re damn right. This is my country, my town, you don’t get to walk around hurting people, killing innocents and little girls – it’s not right, man.”
Schultz: “How do you feel about the gun laws in Arizona?”
Zamudio: “You know, I carry a gun everywhere I go, sir. Honestly, I believe that you can make as many laws as you want , people who want guns are going to get them…criminals can get guns any way they want.
You can make as many laws as you want, it’s not going to stop anybody…that’s not the solution, the solution is helping people, taking care of people…I think our answer is to help people and not to argue about whether or not we’re allowed to own guns. We live in America and we’re allowed to own guns.”
NRA: “No New Gun Laws”
The NRA has finally spoken out about the proposal of new gun laws after the shooting in Tucson. From The Washington Times:
But the group has begun to push back at congressional proposals to tighten gun laws, warning lawmakers not to chip away at gun rights.”Even while our country was respecting the heartache of the people of Tucson and waiting for the full facts of the case, anti-gun activists were renewing their push for more gun control laws,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, in a Wednesday letter to members of Congress.
Canada Doesn’t Want You To Defend Yourself
The National Post has an interesting article about a man charged with possession of a firearm after he defended his home from a group of men with Molotov cocktails.
The local Crown attorney’s office later laid a charge of pointing a firearm, along with two counts of careless storage of a firearm. The Crown has recommended Mr. Thomson go to jail, his lawyer said.
His collection of seven guns, five pistols and two rifles was seized, along with his firearms licence. Mr. Thomson said he lives in fear that his attackers will return and has taken to arming himself with a fire extinguisher.
..early one Sunday morning last August when the 53-year-old former mobile-crane operator woke up to the sound of three masked men firebombing his Port Colborne, Ont., home.
Bill Whittle on Gun Ownership
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, Opinion on 7/Nov/2010 17:02
Whatever your views on the Tea Party might be, (this is neither a plug for nor a criticism of the Tea Party movement) Bill Whittle makes some valid points as he examines the role of gun ownership as a bulwark against the power of the Big State, and talks about some of the logical problems the gun control movement seems to ignore.
