"The Second Amendment Foundation has joined the Calguns Foundation and three California citizens in a federal lawsuit against the California Department of Justice and Attorney General Kamala Harris, challenging the state's requirement that gun owners wait at least ten days before taking possession of an additional firearm."
"The case is known as Jeff Silvester et.al. v Kamala Harris, et.al."
"'We've joined in this lawsuit because it makes no sense for California to require a gun owner who already possesses a firearm from buying another one within a few days,' said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. 'We recall what Dr. Martin Luther King said, that 'A right delayed is a right denied.'" ... |

"For many years, the state has been attempting to disarm the citizenry. While not understood by the mainstream, the success of these efforts has far exceeded the imagination of most. Those who own guns, and live in remote areas, don�t fully grasp the problem, as they are somewhat insulated from the norm. But many, especially those who live in the cities and more populated areas, know that they are heavily restricted, and for the most part accept this condition of helplessness voluntarily." ... |

"The record for a single year was set just last year, when the FBI reported that 14,409,616 background checks were requested. In 2011 that figure will top 16 million. FBI spokesman Steve Fischer said just 1.3% of background checks result in denial of a weapon."
"With a week left in December, the FBI said the monthly record has already been broken, and that was only set last month when 1,534,414 background checks were requested from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)." ... |

"Initial inclination is to presume Obama will veto it. If the bill reaches his desk before the election, don't be surprised if he signs it. Obama, if nothing else, is devious. OK, he's also arrogant, narcissistic, monarchical, obnoxious, self-righteous, pandering and eloquent. But he is also devious.

"On Black Friday, Academy Sports and Outdoors advertised a 'Taurus M640 Compact .40 Semiautomatic Pistol,' regularly $459.99 for $289.99. Being in the market for a .40, I looked up the M640 on the Taurus USA website and it wasn't listed. I did a search and found very few domestic reports about it, but did find that it was heavily discussed in Portuguese in the Brazilian blogs and websites, and it was also listed as a law enforcement restricted handgun on Taurus' Brazilian website. There were civilian versions listed as the PT 640, and the PT 640 Pro. Using Google Translate (don�t ya love technology?), I found out the M640 is widely used by Brazilian law enforcement agencies ... Always looking for a bargain�" ... |

"After my less than stellar first take and subsequent return of the M30, Konus was nice enough to send me a replacement. My first impression whilst removing it from the box was that this one had even worse locking turrets. In fact, once locked, you can still wiggle the turret back and forth somewhat negating that whole 'locked' thing. I dutifully mounted in on my AR and took to the range. This time, I used my brand spanking new laser boresighter. I�ll be damned if I�m going to waste any more good Black Hills ammo than needed on a scope test." ... |
