Almost 10,000 Australians have signed a petition which calls for a “full-scale†review of gun laws after the July 5 shooting in which John Edwards killed his children 15-year-old Jack and 13-year-old Jennifer in West Pennant Hills in the city’s west before returning to his home and killing himself.

States And Cities Now Threatening Defense Distributed
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 31/Jul/2018 07:09
From Guns.com:
In response to a threat by New Jersey state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer last Thursday warning DefDist of pending legal action should the company allow residents there state to download the controversial files, Wilson fired back Saturday with a lawsuit against the two, arguing they are violating First Amendment free speech protections.
In the 16-page filing, attorneys for DefDist hold that Grewal and Feuer “have waged an ideologically-fueled program of intimidation and harassment against†the company, intending to drag Wilson “before all manner of far-flung criminal and civil tribunals in an effort to silence the organization.â€
What Could Have Been In Toronto Shooting
Posted by Brian in News, Opinion, Threat Watch on 29/Jul/2018 07:11
From FEE.org:
The shooting that took place in Toronto (Canada) on Sunday was, in one way, similar to the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Paris on January 7, 2015. In the latter case, people took smartphone videos of fleeing terrorists shooting at policemen and killing an unarmed one. In Toronto, there were several powerless witnesses, and at least one person, apparently from an apartment overlooking the scene, videoed the killer as he was firing from the sidewalk below. In both cases, if a video taker had had a pistol instead of a smartphone, he could have engaged the killer, at least slowing him down, and saved lives or prevented serious bodily injuries.
2A Community Outreach
From The Truth About Guns:
Devon has been a proud member of the LGBT and 2A community for over thirty years and has been running Hillcrest Pawnbrokers for over 12 years. Right in the middle of Hillcrest in San Diego, they are well positioned to be the first contact for many of the LGBT community when it comes to approaching the idea of firearm ownership.

SAF and NRA Sue Seattle Over Gun Storage

Defending “Israeli Carry” or Condition Three
From The Truth About Guns:
I’m amazed by how much hate I get when I admit to carrying my concealed weapon “ Israeli style†with a loaded magazine and an empty chamber. Any safety, if present, is set to the fire position. Please don’t comment with phrases like “you might as well be carrying a club†or “ the only safety I need is between my ears.†It sounds exactly like the empty phrases anti-gunners use when open carry is discussed. “Blood in the streets,†“every argument becomes a gunfight.†These are unthinking responses.
Age Discrimination and Guns
From NRA-ILA:
Eighteen-year-olds have not been prohibited from purchasing and possessing rifles and shotguns at the federal level, and in the vast majority of states, since the founding of our country. Nonetheless, because of the violent acts of one individual, we have seen an onslaught of legislation throughout the country that seeks to raise the minimum age to purchase and/or possess rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21. Because common sense has taken a back seat to raw emotionalism in today’s gun control debate, some of these efforts have seen success.

Defensive Gun Use vs Car Accidents
Posted by Brian in Opinion, Threat Watch on 15/Jul/2018 12:49
From FEE.org:
How is it that so many kids raised on “Harry Potterâ€, “The Hunger Gamesâ€, “Star Warsâ€, and all the Marvel action figure movies manage to miss a critical point of the stories? The lesson being: If you want to prevail over evil villains, you must have the proper tools to fight back.
