... "But if we step back away from the minutiae of the demographic breakdown, we have somewhere between 64 and 80 percent who will not comply with any confiscatory gun bans. And make no mistake, the specter of confiscatory bans is not 'paranoid, right-wing delusion,' as can be seen be seen in the obscenely misnamed 'SAFE Act,' in New York, an active program of confiscation of registered firearms in California, and proposals for similar abominations at the federal level:" ... |

John Hickenlooper signed major anti-gun legislation and set in motion the loss of state revenue from Magpul Industries, which manufactures magazines for semi-automatic sporting rifles." ...
"Anti-gunners as far away as Puget Sound are cheering todays� events, but their perceived victory may be hollow and costly to the Colorado economy. What seems like trophy legislation now may soon be replaced on their mantle by an economic urn. Magpul made no secret that it will be moving out of Colorado as soon as possible. ..." ... |

"Jeremy writes:""I don�t know if you guys have gotten this question before, or if it would warrant writing an article, but do you have any feedback on zeroing a rifle on a range measured in yards, and then how accuracy would be affected when shooting that rifle estimating distance based on meters? The difference @ 100m vs. 100 yards is going to be about 9′ so my assumption is that even to the max effective range of a 5.56 round, there isn�t going to be enough of a difference to see a noticeable POI shift. Do you have an opinion?" "Good news for the lazy among us: for the typical zero on a 5.56 gun, it doesn�t matter . . ." ... |

"One might be forgiven for believing that when U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) urged President Obama to 'exploit' (Nadler's term) the murdered children of Sandy Hook Elementary, forcible citizen disarmament advocates could go no lower, become no more contemptible. As understandable as that belief is, it is unfortunately also untrue."
"Insatiable 'gun control' advocate Michael Moore's enormous appetite for oppressive gun regulation is such that he is gleefully predicting that photos of the butchered children will be leaked to the public, causing such a tsunami of anti-gun hysteria ... that the public will join Moore and his fellow anti-gun jihadists in demanding that the American people be disarmed. ..." ... |

"You may recall that the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) began their post-Newtown civilian disarmament campaign with 'Demand a Plan.' As we pointed out on numerous occasions the 'plan' they were demanding was . . . demanding a plan. Mayor Bloomberg�s homies didn�t crusade on ammunition magazine capacity limits or banning modern sporting (a.k.a. assault) rifles or anything specific, really. They simply waved the bloody shirt, trusting that their supporters would let Bloomberg�s backroom boyz iron-out the details. Now that a federal assault weapons ban is DOA and mag cap limits are a non-starter, MAIG has suddenly focused on a specific proposal. And no wonder . . ." ... |

"Arming warlords? Aiding transnational organized crime? Support for murderous war criminals? As the literally dozens of viewers who tune into Martin Bashir�s anti-gun afternoon antics can attest, no outrage is beneath the NRA. The gun rights org�s latest transgression against polite society: opposition to the UN�s arms trade treaty. As Marty points out, 150 countries are on board, so what�s not to like? Assembling a panel representing the full spectrum of political views from left all the way to far-left, Bashy, Grumpy and Epstein wring their hands over the gun industry-supporting NRA that�s now nothing more than a 'direct mail Internet scam operation' . . ." ... |

"Anyone who saw the recent exchange before the Senate Judiciary Committee between Feinstein and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas over guns and the Constitution might speculate that the reason she said this is because she couldn�t pass the entrance exam."

It will also have provisions from a bill backed by the National Rifle Association, including beefing up information included in the state's existing background check system and giving prosecutors more tools to crack down on illegal gun owners" ... |

"Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, defended a planned change to the gun-control law, saying a move to allow the sale of a 10-bullet magazine won�t infringe on the intent of the tough law."
"Silver told reporters this afternoon that gun manufacturers simply don�t make seven-bullet magazines. The proposed change would allow for the sale of 10-bullet magazines, but they could be used on shooting ranges or in competitions. Otherwise, gun owners will be only allowed to put seven bullets in the magazine."
"'It�s a change to accommodate commerce, basically. They are not being made in the sevens,' Silver said." ... |

"A Senate subcommittee passed a bill to thunderous applause Wednesday that would allow people to carry guns in public in South Carolina without a concealed weapons permit."
"The vote was taken after a public hearing packed with gun supporters, who listened politely and cheered anyone who spoke about protecting the Second Amendment or pointed out criminals weren�t likely to follow any gun laws." ...
"... Others, like Charleston Police Capt. Brian Ambrose, worry it will make officers� jobs harder because they will have to wait for someone openly holding a gun to commit a crime before they can confront them. ..." ...

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
