An Armed Citizenry Is Peace
Posted by Brian in Law, Threat Watch on 30/Jul/2013 08:02
From Daily Reckoning:
The entire criminal justice system depends on legal violence, and gun control is no exception. Somehow, many modern liberals who recognize the problems of using police power against drug users or illegal immigrants, or who show concern that law enforcement employs overbearing force against petty criminals, ignore the reality that gun control fundamentally entails physical coercion against mostly peaceful people.
ATF Seeking Comments on Revising Form 5320.1 (SBR/SBS)
The ATF is trying to make the process easier for applicants and the ATF itself. From Guns.com:
What are the proposed changes? They’re simple, really. They want to accept electronic payments to pay the transfer tax by credit or debit card. They also want to reduce redundancy by combing information currently captured on another form. And they want to change the size of the form itself to 8.5 x 14.
Want To Transfer A Gun In Colorado?
The new law passed in Colorado that deals with “transfers” of firearms is now very similar to what you have to do in New Zealand. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to this guy:

From LA’s NBC affiliate:
The mass shooting that left five people dead in Santa Monica is the reason a California congressman wants to make it illegal for people to buy parts on the Internet to build their own weapons.
NSSF Sues Conn. Claiming Law Violates Conn. Constitution
From SFGate.com:
The National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc., which is based in Newtown a few miles from Sandy Hook, claims the emergency legislation was illegally passed in April without proper public input, time for adequate review by members of the General Assembly, or a statement of facts explaining why lawmakers needed to bypass the usual legislative process.

Posted by Brian in Law, Threat Watch on 13/Jul/2013 13:48

A Colorado federal district court ruled today in favor of a Colorado man and a national gun rights group holding that a U.S. Postal Service regulation barring firearms in its parking lots violates their right to keep and bear arms under the Constitution.

Illinois Legislature Overrides Veto, Approves Concealed Carry
From the AP:
Both chambers of the Legislature voted to override changes Gov. Pat Quinn made to the bill they approved more than a month ago. Even some critics of the law argued it was better to approve something rather than risk the courts allowing virtually unregulated concealed weapons in Chicago, which has endured severe gun violence in recent months.
CDC Classifies Gun Violence as a Contagious Disease
From Sunshine State News:
The study was commissioned in January as one of Obama’s 23 executive orders to enact gun control. To get Congress to fund it with taxpayers’ money, the CDC had to classify gun violence as “a contagious disease.”  It’s all phony baloney, but after Sandy Hook, the general feeling in the corridors of the White House was that the end justifies the means.

From NationalPost.com:
“We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are,†said Sgt. Brian Topham. “People have a significant amount of money invested in firearms … so we put them in a place that we control and that they’re safe.â€

When it detects a file that contains firearm parts, the software will shut down and disallow printing.

AR-15: More Than A Gun
From WNCW:
There’s a lot of name-calling in the gun control debate. Gun control advocates are slammed as elitist, urban liberals who want to take everyone’s guns away. Gun rights people are accused of being paranoid rednecks who think the government is out to get them. And then there are the special labels reserved for people who love their assault rifles.
