Gun Control Opinion From CNN
From CNN:
Not all deaths involving guns are the same — therefore trying to address each incident from the same point of view is futile. Until we learn more about Alexis — the events leading up to the shootings and the motive — the tragedy in Washington should not be used as catalyst for a conversation about gun control.
Because like it or not, the folks spraying our cities with bullets are not NRA members or legal gun owners. And despite the tendency to tie it all together, they have nothing to do with the Adam Lanzas of the world.
2/3 of Americans Don’t Trust Government to Carry Out Gun Control
From Rasmussen Reports:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 16% of American Adults think it is possible to completely prevent mass shootings like the one in Washington. Seventy-one percent (71%) say it is not possible to fully stop shootings like this. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
China’s Tyranny a Result of Gun Control
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 17/Sep/2013 08:50
A former Chinese national discusses the issue in National Review Online:
Citizens were not allowed to have any guns or they would be put into prison, or worse. Chinese people were helpless when they needed to defend themselves. I grew up with fear, like millions of other children — fear that the police would pound on our doors at night and take my loved ones away, fear that bad guys would come to rob us. Sometimes I could not sleep from hearing the screaming people outside.
When it came to dealing with the Chinese government and police brutality, there was nothing we could do. They had guns, while law-abiding citizens did not.
U.N. Attempts to Impose Its Will on U.S.
From The New American:
Wildly overstepping its bounds while revealing a profound ignorance or disdain for America’s constitutional system of government, the United Nations demanded on September 3 that the Obama administration “nullify†Florida’s popular “stand your ground†law. Of course, the president cannot “nullify†anything, let alone state law — and especially not on meaningless orders from the UN.
Both Colorado Senators Recalled!
The New York Times has the story:
The recall elections ousted two Democratic state senators, John Morse and Angela Giron, and replaced them with Republicans. Both defeats were painful for Democrats – Mr. Morse’s because he had been Senate president, and Ms. Giron’s because she represented a heavily Democratic, working-class slice of southern Colorado.
Citizens Must Have Access to “Weapons of War”
The anti-gunners have made the argument that no one should have a weapon of war. That is precisely what every citizen should have access to, but does not (AR-15s are not weapons of war). The BearingArms.com staff makes the case quite well:
Tenche Cox, Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress, thrice explained the purpose of the Second Amendment to his fellow citizens. The first time was in The Pennsylvania Gazette, on Feb. 20, 1788.
The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American … the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people
California Is Coming For Your Guns
The anti-gun bigots in the state of California continue to propose ludicrous laws that will make it harder for citizens to exercise their rights.
From Reason.com:
The piece detailed the California’s Department of Justice’s APPs (Armed and Prohibited Persons) program that sends armed agents to the doors of Californians “who at one time purchased firearms legally, but have since run afoul of the law.†It’s a first-in-the-nation program by which state officials cross-reference government crime databases. An agent might show up at the door of a person who legally purchased a gun, but was later deemed mentally ill or was convicted of domestic violence.
Handgun Ban for Adults 18-20, Goes to Supreme Court
From SFGate.com:
The lawsuit— which is now before the U.S. Supreme Court — seeks to end a federal prohibition on the sale of handguns by federally licensed dealers to people aged 18 through 20.

NY SAFE Act Side Effect
Rod and gun clubs in New York state have seen a spike in memberships mostly involving women.
From Syracuse.com:
Bill Parfitt, president of the Camillus Sportsmen’s Club, said his club has maxed out at 800 members, and has a waiting list of more than 100.
“We could have 2,000 members if we wanted,” he said. “We took 10 new applications just last weekend.”
President Uses Mid-east Distraction to Pass New Gun Regulations by Diktat
From the Associated Press:
One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities, where some may end up on the streets. The White House said the U.S. has approved 250,000 of those guns to be reimported since 2005; under the new policy, only museums and a few other entities like the government will be eligible to reimport military-grade firearms.
The Obama administration is also proposing a federal rule to stop those who would be ineligible to pass a background check from skirting the law by registering certain guns, like machine guns and short-barreled shotguns, to a corporation or trust. The new rule would require people associated with those entities, like beneficiaries and trustees, to undergo the same type of fingerprint-based background checks as individuals if they want to register those types of guns.
Women Deciding To Arm Themselves
From ABC News:
Nationwide gun ownership is at an all time high and now a record 23 percent of women say they own a gun, according to Gallup polls. The surprising spike has spawned a cottage industry from pink assault rifles to bling-ed out revolvers, like the one tweeted by Kim Kardashian.
McMillan Merchant Solutions
The company that revolutionized stocks has started a credit card processing company. The new company was created after McMillan‘s bank account at Bank of America was abruptly cancelled without explanation.
