An Armed Citizenry Is Peace

From Daily Reckoning:

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.

Illinois Legislature Overrides Veto, Approves Concealed Carry

From the AP:

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.

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.
