Chicago police are trying to rid the city's streets of illegal guns and drugs, but Facebook is making their job all the more difficult, officers said Tuesday. Over the course of a two-year investigation � code-named "Operation FaceBOOKED" � officers arrested 53 people involved with illegal gun and drug sales in hidden groups on the social media site. While Facebook shut down the groups in question, the site refuses to block the members of those groups, police say. |

He took 52 handguns valued at more than $19,000, prosecutors in the Western District of Missouri said. |

Last month, we caught ABC dubiously reporting the use of an �automatic rifle� in a Philadelphia crime. In that case, the police may have made that original claim. (I have a Pennsylvania Right To Know Law request pending on that.) This time, I think they really stepped in it. |

It�s one thing to teach your child gun safety; even very young kids can understand the basic rules. But imparting the concept of ricochet can be a little more difficult. Projectiles can change direction if they hit unseen objects such as rocks and�at close range�still have enough energy to harm someone. What�s more, BBs are among the projectiles most likely to ricochet.

The 28 gauge shotgun shell, while over a hundred years old, is the up-and-coming round in the shotgun world. It�s used in both skeet shooting and upland bird hunting, and provides a valuable alternative to the traditional in both.
Although not as popular as other small bore shotgun shells, the 28 gauge is capable, effective, and easy to shoot. It continues to grow in popularity and more shooters find a use for it year after year, primarily due to the instinctual way firearms chambered for the round fire. |

Since the start of the year, Washington State has added almost 37,000 active concealed pistol licenses including the 6,734 added just during November, which suggests just because the state�s political tilt is dominated by liberal Seattle and the I-5 corridor, an increasing number of people are not ready to surrender their safety.
Over the past five years, since December 2014, the state has added more than 170,300 CPLs, according to records from the state Department of Licensing. Back on Dec. 31, there were 608,460 active licenses. |

Two gun-rights advocates are challenging a state law banning the sale and possession of stun guns and Tasers as an infringement on their rights to bear arms under the Second Amendment. Michael P. O�Neil, vice president of the Rhode Island Second Amendment Coalition, and Nicola Grasso, former president of the Rhode Island Federated Sportsmen�s Association, late last month sued Attorney General Peter F. Neronha and Rhode Island State Police Col. James M. Manni in their official capacities over a state law barring the possession and attempted use of stun guns and electric arms. Alleged violators face up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine, as well as the confiscation of their weapons. |

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said Tuesday that gun restrictions approved by the city of Columbia earlier this year should be repealed because they violate both state law and the Second Amendment. In September, the Columbia City Council approved a red-flag ordinance that would enable police to seize firearms from residents who are deemed to be an extreme risk. At the same meeting, another ordinance was approved prohibiting possession of firearms within 1,000 feet of private or public schools in the city. |

As local governments continue to propose or enact Second Amendment sanctuaries, a question remains: What is a Second Amendment sanctuary? Virginia Beach-based attorney Timothy Anderson took to Facebook to explain what it is through videos. "Sanctuary zones are going to say, 'Fine, we're not going to use our resources,' but that doesn't mean the state can't do it," Anderson told News 3. "It just means the local sheriff's office and local police departments won't use those resources to prosecute those cases." |

As the debate over gun rights continues in Virginia, many people in Roanoke continued to react to Monday�s loud and outburst-filled city council meetings. Roanoke became the first city in Virginia to discuss and reject the idea of a 2nd Amendment sanctuary status, which would have been a pledge to stand up against new gun laws. Amherst County�s decision on Tuesday to adopt a similar resolution made it another county in the commonwealth to do so. |

We gun nuts have long had our eyes on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. New York City, a challenge to one of the Big Apple�s myriad limits on firearm ownership. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case yesterday, and hopes run high for the new conservative majority � but the litigation could still end with a whimper. Until recently, New Yorkers with �premises� licenses were hardly allowed to leave the house with their guns. They couldn�t even bring their weapons, locked and unloaded, to a second home, or to a shooting range outside the city. That would take a carry license, which is effectively impossible to get in New York without friends in high places. |
It�s Never Enough: Gun Control Advocates Won�t Ever Be Satisfied With Marginal Changes to Our Gun Laws

When seeking to pass whatever the anti-gun flavor of the month is when it comes to gun legislation, anti-gun advocates often claim to be seeking only �reasonable� solutions. They often claim that if just one more marginal restriction on our rights is enacted, then we will be �safer.� Nowhere was this more evident than earlier this year when anti-gun advocates and members of Congress worked to pass two anti-gun bills through the House of Representatives. That fight involved what gun control supporters frequently claim is the most �reasonable� of all gun control laws, H.R. 8, the so-called �universal� background check bill. |

How on Earth did we end up with people like Lisa Page and all of her cohorts, all of whom thought it was in their purview to take out a presidential candidate they did not like and then to sabotage his presidency once inaugurated? Who raised these people; who were their parents? Where did they go to college and learn that this kind of abrogation of the Constitution is in their "purview"? |
