Armed Men Hack a Man to Death with a Machete in England- Where Both Guns and Murder are Illegal
23 May 2013 7:00 am Greg Campbell

It’s odd that when a shooting occurs, the left can instantly find a correlative effect to gun laws. Before the gunsmoke clears, leftist “journalists” and once-relevant celebrities come out swinging for the fences to melodramatically pronounce a need for stricter gun control laws.
However, these same pundits and assorted media hacks are noticeably silent when someone gets hacked up or beaten to death. There is no speculation as to what could have been prevented. Take, for example, the recent case of the beheading on the streets on Woolwich, England, in …

Hey, Barack, Maybe ‘Gun Nuts’ Aren’t so Crazy After All
22 May 2013 7:00 am Greg Campbell

I supposed that if I had to choose one aspect of the current regime I most detest, it would have to be the soul-crushing violations of man’s right to be free. A close second, however, is the fact that the current administration makes me sound crazy.
Think about it: try describing aloud the stated scandals that have emerged from the Obama Administration. Detail out loud the apparent culpability of our government in running guns to dangerous Mexican cartels as an excuse for stricter gun laws. Shout out about Benghazi, IRS thuggery …

Beretta: It Looks Like We’ll Have To Leave Maryland Over New Gun Control Laws
21 May 2013 5:11 am John Hawkins

Maryland’s new Draconian gun laws may make liberals happy, but it may also cost them a lot of jobs and tax revenue if and when Beretta leaves the state. Granted, the company hasn’t beaten the dust of Maryland off its feet yet, but judging by this post on Beretta’s blog, it’s awfully close to hitting the road.

Through the Companies’ legislative efforts and with assistance led by Delegate Joe Vallario and others provisions were stripped out of the final Bill that would have required an immediate move of certain operations out …

California BANS All New Semi-Automatic Handguns
20 May 2013 8:09 am John Hawkins

If you’re a liberal who wants to ban guns without officially putting a ban in place, how do you do it?

Simple.
You don’t make guns illegal, you just put restrictions in place that make it impossible for anyone to purchase a handgun. That’s exactly what the liberals have now done in California.
Any new model handgun must have a microstamped serial number somewhere on the gun’s frame and a firing pin that stamps a unique number onto the cartridge before (or as) it ignites the primer. I immediately reached out to …

Colorado Sheriffs File Federal Lawsuit Over Gun Laws
18 May 2013 8:34 am William Teach

Nice to know that some in law enforcement will not bow to the pressure and will support the 2nd Amendment Rights of law abiding citizens.

(Fox News) Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional.
The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state.
The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing …

As Gangs Flourish, Displaying Historical Firearms Illegal in Chicago Museums
17 May 2013 4:56 pm Warner Todd Huston

Outside of Chicago’s museums gangs are killing each other at an alarming rate. But due to Chicago’s strict gun ban policies, inside those museums curators are not allowed to display historical firearms. In fact, in some cases the museums are not even allowed to store their collections inside the city limits.
The matter has become an issue after the family of the late Major General William Levine, one of America’s highest ranking Jewish generals, donated his belongings to Chicago’s Pritzker Military Library this year. The collection included a firearm that …

In the Wake of Legislative Defeats, a New Liberal Gameplan has Emerged: Attack Guns on a Cultural Level
16 May 2013 7:00 am Greg Campbell

Yesterday, I discussed the attempted indoctrination by the left as it pertains to our children. They punish kids for even mentioning the word gun and in some of the most outrageous cases, have suspended or expelled kids for drawing a gun, folding a piece of paper that vaguely resembles a gun or for having the audacity to support the NRA by adorning a tee shirt with a pro-Second Amendment message on it.
The mindset is simple: if we demonize firearms as the instrument of the wicked and the vile lowlifes, in …

Square Mobile Payment Systems Modifies User Agreement to Prohibit Gun-Related Purchases
15 May 2013 11:57 pm Warner Todd Huston

Square payment services is one of those new payment applications that merchants can put on a smart phone and, along with the plug-in hardware, is used like a credit card swipe machine to accept payments made by their customers. This month, however, Square has changed its user policy and is now prohibiting merchants from using the service to sell anything firearm related.
The new user agreement has altered its “Your Square Account” section to add a new category for things that Square won’t allow its service to be used for.
The …

NY Times: If You Think The 2nd Amendment Is There To Protect You From Government, You’re Un-American
14 May 2013 7:54 am William Teach

Here’s Stanley Fish, writing an op-ed for the far left NY Times:
Is the N.R.A. Un-American?

The more militant members of the N.R.A. and most of its leaders may be un-American.
By “militant” I don’t mean those who wish to protect recreational shooting and hunting; nor do I mean those who, like Justice Antonin Scalia, believe that there is a constitutional right to defend one’s home and family with firearms. These are respectable positions (although I am deeply unpersuaded by the second). I mean those who read the Second Amendment as proclaiming …

Help Us Stop A Hunting Ban In California Before It Spreads Through The Nation
13 May 2013 7:17 am Tim Donnelly

With almost 3 million people out of work in California, you’d think Democrats would be cautious about bills that could drive even more jobs out of our state. The outdoor shooting sports in California employ almost 24,000 people and bring in crucial tax revenue. Additionally, everyone who buys ammo helps put over $12 million into the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife’s Preservation Fund.

Yet, new legislation called AB711 which claims to ban the use of lead in bullets in hunting is in fact an attempt to ban hunting altogether.
As we discussed …

Liberal Host Of “The View” Wants Gun After Alarm Goes Off
13 May 2013 4:01 am John Hawkins

Ever heard the old saying that goes, “A liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet?” Well, one of the hosts of The View, Sherri Shepherd, didn’t quite get mugged, but it was apparently close enough to turn her into a believer in the 2nd Amendment.

“View” co-host Sherri Shepherd appeared on Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends” and told the hosts why she planned on purchasing a gun.
Last month, the alarm system in Shepherd’s house went off in the middle of the night. Shepherd was so freaked out that she …

3D-Printed Gun Plans Downloaded 100,000 Times in Two Days
11 May 2013 4:45 pm Warner Todd Huston

The 3D-printable gun craze is just beginning as the blueprint plans for the new “Liberator” plastic gun were downloaded nearly 100,000 times in just a two-day period this month.

Cody Wilson, founder of the 3D-Printed firearm company Defense Distributed, announced the creation of the first fully printable gun on May 3 and in only a few days hundreds of thousands of downloads of the plans were made from the Defcad.org website.
Despite the large number of downloads, don’t expect the country to suddenly be awash with plastic guns. Few people that downloaded …

New ‘Explosives’ License Impinges on Gun Owners that Load Own Ammo
10 May 2013 4:47 pm Warner Todd Huston

Before the smoke had cleared after the terror attacks during the Boston Marathon last month, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg employed Obama’s favorite axiom of never letting a good crisis go to waste by immediately proposing major changes to federal laws pertaining to loose gun powder and explosives.
Reports quickly emerged after the bombing that the terrorists had used black powder for the explosive component of their pressure cooker bombs and this news prompted Lautenberg to action.
On April 23, Lautenberg introduced S. 792, the Explosive Materials Background Check Act. Originally, the …

Government Shuts Down 3D Plastic Gun Manufacturer
10 May 2013 5:21 am Greg Campbell

There are dangers associated with freedom. No system is perfect and society must strive to find a balance. The Bill of Rights is, essentially, a list of enumerated freedoms that are flawed in their own, unique ways.

The First Amendment can allow obscene words. The Fourth Amendment can keep a heroin dealer’s stash safe simply because an officer does not have probably cause to search. The Fifth Amendment’s assurance of due process can fail and a criminal can go free. The list goes on…
In truth, I would always rather have too …

Missouri Passes Gun Nullification Bill
9 May 2013 8:24 am William Teach

We’ve seen several states take this route, including Kansas (and other states, such as South Carolina, are looking to block implementation of Obamacare). Missouri is the latest
(Fox News) The Missouri Legislature sent the governor a bill Wednesday that would expand gun rights and declare all federal gun regulations unenforceable, in a response to President Obama’s push for gun control legislation.

The Republican-led Legislature passed the measure hoping to shield the state from federal proposals that would ban assault weapons and expand background checks. But the U.S. Senate’s defeat of a background …

Joe Biden Wants Churches To Push For Gun Control
9 May 2013 6:47 am John Hawkins

The Obama Administration hasn’t been a friend to Christians. It’s promoted abortion and gay marriage. It’s persecuted Catholics. The military has become hostile to Christians under Obama. But now, the Obama Administration wants pastors and churches to join its push for gun control.

Vice President Joe Biden has a commandment for pastors, rabbis and nuns: He wants them to tell their flocks that enacting gun control is the moral thing to do. But another vote may have to wait until Congress wraps up work on an immigration overhaul.
Biden met for two-and-a-half …

Gun Crime Plunges, But Media Convinces the Herd That It Is Rising
8 May 2013 3:37 pm Dave Blount

In Hopey Changey America, the media’s job is not to inform but to misinform the public so as to advance a statist agenda. It has done its job well regarding gun crime:
Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.
Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen, according to a newly released survey by the Pew Research …

NC House Votes To Return Many Gun Rights
7 May 2013 7:21 am William Teach

This should drive Joe Biden nuts: instead of restricting the gun rights of North Carolina citizens, the NC House voted to extend them.

(WRAL) State House lawmakers voted late Monday night to allow concealed weapons on college campuses, state property, greenways, bike trails, at sporting events and in businesses that serve alcohol.
Proponents of House Bill 937 says it protects and expands the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens while increasing punishment for those who use guns in the commission of crimes. It also requires more rapid reporting of mental health adjudications …

Dick’s Sporting Goods Sees Sales PLUNGE After Banning Guns
7 May 2013 4:59 am John Hawkins

Dick’s Sporting Goods had a choice: It could serve its customers or it could serve the gun grabbers on the Left, who were demanding that Dick’s stop serving its customers. Dick’s Sporting Goods went in the wrong direction and now it’s paying for it.

Last Christmas many Dick’s customers were sent one mean lump of coal in the form of a gift certificate. All customers who pre-ordered a Troy Carbine from Dick’s for their Black Friday special had their orders cancelled and their money returned.
Following the Newtown shooting spree, Dick’s Sporting …

The NRA Exposes Children to Firearm Safety and the Left Loses their Mind
7 May 2013 3:00 am Greg Campbell

The National Rifle Association capped off its annual meeting, held this year in Houston, by offering an event geared towards the younger crowd.

Yes, those evil “gun nuts” actually allowed children to see and discuss guns while being taught a healthy respect for them. The horror!
Of course, the mainstream media has completely lost their mind over the prospect that children could be taught anything about guns other than, “Only bad people have a need for guns.”
Showcasing actual firearms and using airsoft and laser guns at booths to promote a respect for …
