... "... More likely this is an in-your-face to 'the gun lobby,' and a bellwether for things to come�all those things anti-gun opinion shapers ridiculed as paranoia back when that served the agenda. Look for them now to ignore past protestations and focus on whatever 'gun control' proposals the administration puts forward, be they bills the president will want Congress to advance or, barring that, whatever he thinks he can get away with by executive order or ATF ruling." ... |

"Another election passes. Many of you are angry about the outcome. I am too. But truthfully, I�ve been angry with the direction our government is heading for quite some time now. The Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), our country�s insurmountable debt, the list goes on."
"Last night was but another reminder that liberty dies to the sound of applause."
"As I�ve said in several previous posts, I believe our country faces very tough times ahead. With problems this big, it�s easy to have a feeling of helplessness � believe me, I understand. But take heart, all is not lost. Not yet at least. This nation is still teeming with Patriots that love America, love the American people, and love liberty." ... |

"The election results have riled up the firearms owning world, bringing flashbacks to those dark times when the assault weapons ban was the law of the land. The fear that a Chicago Democrat with no re-elections on the horizon would turn to gun control like a hungry wolf turns to a wounded deer was definitely a factor in Romney�s strong showing, but is that really something that we need to fear happening immediately? I don�t think so, and here�s why . . ." ... |

"Well that didn�t take long. It was just a few weeks ago that Ray Kohout announced that he�d split with Heizer Aerospace, leaving him without a maker for his unique over/under titanium pocket pistol. But Kohout�s just announced that he�s hooked up with Azimuth Technologies, LLC of Naples, Florida to make his new wonder gun. You�ll notice the design has been stripped of everything Heizer, including the repeating HDs that gave the grip it�s grippiness. We�re glad to see, though, that the gun still makes it very clear that it�s made on Earth. Press release after the jump . . ." .... |

"Bored with your dime-a-dozen Remington 700 PSS? Looking for a sniper rifle that has some European panache, but without the price tag of a Blaser Tactical II, Accuracy International AW or Steyr SSG-08? Well, Steyr-Mannlicher is still producing the classic but now overshadowed SSG-69, and it�s still a competitive choice 43 years after its release. I was one year old in 1969 when legendary Austrian Arms manufacturer Steyr-Mannlicher released the Scharfsch�tzengewehr 69 (literal translation: 'Sharp Shooter Gun [19]69'). While the hippies where dropping acid in the mud at Woodstock, the engineers at Steyr were creating what was, for its time, a revolutionary production sniper rifle . . " .... |

"I'll admit I'm enamored with Mossberg's pump guns. I have nothing against the Remington 870, or the Ithaca Model 37. I like them, too. But I always come back to Mossberg. Call it brand loyalty. That said, I can back up my opinions with some pretty solid evidence. The guns work well. The controls are ergonomic and intuitive. They are priced competitively. And they're made here in the states." ... |

... "The aspiring actress and Tulane graduate looks directly into the camera as she reveals that it was her father who abused her. 'My father, Steven Bressler, molested, tortured and raped me from the time I was four until I was 13 years old,' she says."
"As the video progresses, Lybrand describes how she grew up to become her high school's cheerleading captain, go to college and become both an actor and a teacher. One of the most shocking visuals of the clip comes when she displays the three guns she's purchased for protection. 'I don't have to be afraid anymore. Let me show you my weapon collection, dad,' she says. 'I carry guns everywhere I go in case you decide to show up... You're never going to touch me again.'" ... |

"Unless you were hiding under a rock yesterday, you know that President Barack Obama was elected to a second term in office."
"Thinking about this in binary terms, i.e. good news v. bad news, the good news is that the sky is not falling. In fact, on the contrary, the firearms and ammunition industry will probably experience a second Obama 'gun boom.'"
"Please recall what Sturm, Ruger CEO Michael O. Fifer said about Obama�s re-election prospects in July of 2011."

"Barack Obama, who has been termed the most anti-gun president in American history, has won a narrow victory and will return to the White House for a second term. While the president will be held somewhat in check by a Republican Congress (which looks to have expanded its pro-gun majority), he is expected to expand his anti-gun, anti-freedom policies through executive orders and bureaucratic rules, both of which he has wielded as dictatorial mandates."

"She also plans to target inner-city violence by pursuing passage of a law that requires gun owners to report lost or stolen handguns."
"'It's out of control,' Kane said. 'There are children being shot on playgrounds in Philadelphia. They lost four or five police officers in one year. It (the law) does not affect your Second Amendment right to own a handgun at all.'" ...

Which, following President Obama�s re-election last night, means that they�re probably about to see a rather large spike in traffic as people begin stocking up against the perceived threat of an assault weapons ban or ammunition restriction. Do they have a strategy for fulfilling those orders? Are they selectively stocking up on certain products? Are they changing anything at all about what they�re doing? Nope.

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. � Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com |
