If Guns Were Regulated Like Cars
Over at The Truth About Guns they make the argument that if guns were really regulated like cars the anti-gunners would be appalled.
- Car dealers don’t need to be licensed by the federal government. Gun dealers do.
- Car dealers don’t need to keep meticulous records of all transactions under penalty of law. Gun dealers do.
- Cars don’t require registration to own or licensing to operate. Neither do guns.
- Cars can legally be sold across state lines. Selling a gun across state lines is a felony.
- Driver’s licenses are valid in all states. Concealed carry licenses aren’t.
- I don’t need to tell the ATF when I take my short wheel-base car to another state. I do need to tell them when I take my SBR hunting rifle.
- Cars aren’t banned just because they look scary. “Assault weapons†are.
- I get a tax credit when I buy certain cars. I don’t get a tax credit for my new hunting rifle.
Think Progress Posts Misleading Picture of Pro-gun Protestors
From IJ Review:
In a widely distributed post, gun rights activists are shown in a picture crouching by a car in a parking lot, seemingly stalking someone in order to intimidate them.
But is being reported today, that picture was taken while the gun rights advocates were posing for a different picture, one that has no appearance of menace.
Mexican Civilians Defy Gun Ban To Defend Against Cartels
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 15/Nov/2013 12:04
From TribLive.com:
Eight months after locals formed self-defense groups, they say they are free of the cartel in six municipalities of the Tierra Caliente, or “Hot Land,†which earned its moniker for the scorching weather but whose name has come to signify criminal activity.
College Students Punished For Defending Themselves

Seniors Erik Fagan and Daniel McIntosh faced suspension or expulsion after one of them chased an aggressive intruder from their apartment at gunpoint. Instead, they’ll remain on probation for the rest of their time at Gonzaga, the university informed them Sunday by letter.
Some Sanity From California Court on Internet Ammo Sales
From TheTruthAboutGuns.com:
The specific reason why the law was overturned isn’t because they were a violation of the Second Amendment (because what self respecting California judge would ever rule in favor of the 2A?). Instead the California Superior Court decision said the requirements were unconstitutionally vague. Thanks to the various pistol caliber carbines available as well as the pistol version of the AR-15 and the AK-47, it makes it impossible to actually define what a handgun caliber is.
Canadians Flock To Gun Courses
The Canadian gun registry is no more and now Canucks are rushing to take safety classes and purchase guns.
From CBC:
Peter Palmer, the co-ordinator of hunter education courses for the Department of Natural Resources, says enrollment in courses increased 23 per cent after the long gun registry was abolished last year.
LA Times Calls For Banning Firearms Because People “May” Go Crazy
George Skelton writing in the LA Times has this to say about the TSA agent that killed a colleague at LAX:
Problem is, too many citizens are law-abiding until they aren’t anymore.
Murder is already against the law and that TSA agent broke the law when he decided to kill. What does the manner of murder matter? Why don’t we ban automobiles because of the possibility someone might go crazy in the future and run over people. Everyone has the potential for evil, but that doesn’t stop us from choosing to accept those rare and horrific incidents in an open and free society.
The crux of the matter is the anti-gunners don’t care that you and I are law-biding citizens. We may go crazy at any moment and that scares the hell out of them. They don’t want to own guns themselves for protection, so they vote for the government to vicariously take our guns away. They get a false sense of security from this because they believe laws are a cure-all. Never mind the fact that criminals by their very nature ignore the law.
MA Selectman Wants to Ignore 4th Amendment
Full article here.
The problem, he said, is that police do not have the authority, granted by a local ordinance, to enforce the law and inspect the safeguarding of guns at the homes of the 600 registered gun owners in town.
Remington, Khar and ATI Bail on New York
All three gun companies are in the process of leaving New York state because of the “SAFE Act” and taking their tax dollars with them.
The Washington Free Beacon has the story:
“It is a law forced on rural New Yorkers by a liberal elite who opposes the principles of the U.S. Constitution,†Hempel said by email. “The majority of the state wants a hands-off, non-intrusive government, which does not interfere with their right to bear arms or crush business with harmful regulation.â€
D.C. Gun Case in Limbo for Four Years
From World Net Daily:
“We realize this is a difficult step to take,†said Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, “but this case has been languishing for 1,475 days and counting since it was ready for decision.â€
He pointed to a previous case litigated by his organization, Moore v. Madigan, which challenged the carry ban in Illinois. The trial court took 172 days to rule, he noted, and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals took 202 days.
Obama Administration to Purchase 600,000 AK Magazines
It hasn’t been that long since the President called for the ban of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Now the military is set to purchase almost 600,000 AK magazines to be sent to Afghanistan. He is comfortable with the military using those magazines to kill people but it completely against an American civilian having one to defend themselves.
From The Washington Examiner:
Army officials told Secrets that the 30-round magazines, which would be banned under Obama’s gun control proposals, are going to Afghanistan. But unlike the Pentagon’s controversial purchase of Russian helicopters for Afghan special forces, the Soviet-Russian-styled AK-47 magazines are likely to be purchased from an American firm.
Former Supreme Court Justice Doesn’t Understand Simple Difference Between Firearms
All that schooling and he can’t grasp a simple concept between automatic and semi-automatic. It must be willful ignorance because someone that smart should be able to understand.
From CSPAN:
San Francisco To Confiscate/Ban Magazines That Hold 10+ Rounds
From SF Gate:
Under the new regulations, people already possessing a large-capacity magazine will have 90 days to turn it in to police. The proposal exempts members of law enforcement and armored car personnel, among others. Violations of the ban would be punishable as a misdemeanor.
