"The gun smoke had barely cleared at Fort Hood last Wednesday afternoon when word of an assault by an armed serviceman spread like wild fire. Even before the exact dimensions of the shooting spree were known, news outlets around the country carried scary messages about the latest active shooter situation."
"Until very recently, the term 'active shooter' � crafted shortly after the 1999 Columbine massacre � was relatively obscure. The term is used mostly in law enforcement circles for SWAT training exercises. But within the past year, fueled by catastrophic mass murders at a Colorado cinema, a Connecticut elementary school and a Washington, D.C., navy yard, 'active shooter' has become widely feared as the modern-day boogeyman armed with a gun." ... |

"If, as libertarians believe, every individual has the right to own his person and property, it then follows that he has the right to employ violence to defend himself against the violence of criminal aggressors. But for some odd reason, liberals have systematically tried to deprive innocent persons of the means for defending themselves against aggression."
"Despite the fact that the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees that 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,' the government has systematically eroded much of this right. Thus, in New York State, as in most other states, the Sullivan Law prohibits the carrying of 'concealed weapons' without a license issued by the authorities." ... |

"A number of years ago when I got into shooting in a major way, I was eager to run out and get my first handgun. I had spent a good bit of time shooting long guns earlier, but never a handgun. Without much thought, I bought a used GLOCK 22. I loaded up the G22 and blazed away at a torso-sized target at about 20 feet. I think I may have even hit it a few times. Maybe . . ."
"Since then I�ve moved from handgun models to handgun models: SIG, HK, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Remington, FN, probably others, and I�ve purchased and used striker-fired and DA/SA semi-autos. I�ve given them all a decent workout at the gun club and at the range and training center I frequent. Revolvers too." ... |

"When I decided to turn my HK SL8-6 into a �designated marksman/sniper� configuration, I knew I wanted a good muzzle brake so I could 'call my own shots'� so to speak. I also wanted to tame the recoil of my Steyr SSG-69. So I did some research and determined that a Grizzly Gunworks Defcon-1 brake would meet by needs, called owner Jeff Cox and placed an order. As he and I talked, I mentioned that I had recently purchased a Beretta CX4 Storm, and he convinced me to get a brake for it as well. Easy sell . . ."

"Columnist Shawn Vestal of the Spokane, Washington Spokesman-Review is horrified by the idea that the natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil and Constitutional right to own and carry the weapon of your choice is soon going to apply (in a rather limited fashion) to college and university campuses in Idaho. Furthermore, he seems to believe that if he piles up enough distortions, twisted and irrelevant facts and outright lies, he will get people to agree with him; at least that is what I assume he�s doing with the piles of distortions, twisted and irrelevant facts and outright lies he presents in Statistics are poor ammo in Idaho debate about guns." ... |

Chris Broadwater of Hammond, proposing to allow colleges and universities the 'lease of property � to nonprofit corporations or associations to hold fundraisers that include the auctioning and sale of firearms,' the John McEnroe in me blurted out, 'You cannot be serious!'

His big idea, apparently, was a high-tech gun tracking bracelet. Which almost seems like a good idea� Especially for the hundreds of weapons that the DOJ helped smuggle to the aforementioned drug cartels. I bet an extra step or two to keep our eye on those guns that 'walked' across the border (with DOJ authorization) would have been a good idea."
"Of course, Holder isn�t proposing such an idea for his gun running ambitions� He�s suggesting it for you and me. ..." ... |
