There was a time when kids were taught to respect firearms, not fear them

Posted on by

“Kids today are reprimanded for carving out a gun-shaped pastry or wearing a tee-shirt from the National Rifle Association. But America hasn’t always been so gun-phobic. Check out these pictures of firearm safety, taught in Indiana schools in 1956.  By banning gun-shaped Pop-Tarts, are we teaching children to respect a gun’s power or are we only feeding their natural curiosity — curiosity that, without proper education, could be deadly?”

In Utah, it’s your marijuana prescription or your concealed gun

Posted on by

“Utah, complying with the federal Gun Control Act, denies or revokes concealed-carry firearms permits for anyone with a prescription for marijuana. While Utah doesn’t allow marijuana to treat ailments, eight of the 31 states that recognize Utah’s concealed firearms permit do.  BCI does not keep records of how many applicants or holders are denied for medical marijuana. BCI, in its regular report on concealed-carry permit violations, lumps those cases into a category labeled ‘controlled substance.’  Utahns with a prescription for opiates, such as Oxycodone, are not barred from a concealed firearm permit unless they are suspected of abusing the drugs.”

Should We Be Optimistic or Pessimistic about the Future of the Second Amendment?

Posted on by

“It’s difficult to be optimistic when a local government imposes a $1,000 fine on a man who uses an unregistered gun (gasp!) to save a child’s life. On the other hand, I’m somewhat optimistic because gun owners and defenders of the Constitution have done a remarkable job in expanding and extending our Second Amendment rights at the state level. For instance, check out this map of concealed-carry laws in the United States. The first thing to notice is that every single state allows citizens to carry, with the only real difference being whether the law is ‘shall issue’ or ‘may issue.'”

The Relentless Market for “Saturday Night Specials”

Posted on by

“The phrase ‘Saturday night special’ used to be applied to cheap handguns available to gangs. These days, the gangs have Uzis. But I am sure that low-budget criminals still buy Saturday night specials. About 30 years ago, I applied the phrase to describe the microcomputer. I said that this would shift power away from the federal government. It would provide the common man with a tool of resistance. The American government worries about its lack of gun control: the decentralization of power. But that is nothing when compared to the threat of Android.”

House Democrat proposes police registration for neighborhood watchmen

Posted on by

“Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that she would soon introduce legislation that would cut federal funding to any state that doesn’t require neighborhood watch programs to register with police. ‘We will … decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds that would otherwise be allocated … to any state that does not require local neighborhood watch programs to be registered with a local [law] enforcement agency,’ Jackson Lee said on the House floor.  She said her bill would also use the threat of less federal money to entice states to change their ‘stand your ground’ laws.”

Unintended Consequence: Colorado’s Gun Control Law Kills Gun Buy-Back Program.

Posted on by

“The group wanted citizens to come down and sell their guns, cheap, to the group. Well, under the July 1 gun control law, the group cannot pay for any guns. It’s not licensed. To go through with the plan, the group must find a licensed gun dealer to host the event. Then the people with guns to sell must come to the gun dealer and sell them. Then the group can legally buy them — after the mandatory background checks, purchase by purchase. The local police chief called off the event. It’s illegal.”

The Rise of RFID ‘Smart Guns’

“RFID-based smart guns that can be remotely turned off at any time are set to hit US markets in the next several months, and could be used a ‘loophole’ to bypass the Second Amendment.”

States with Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine Laws

Posted on by

“With all of the talk about ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws and self-defense in the ‘media’ lately, I thought that it would be a good idea to take a look at which U.S. states have those laws in place and the definition of what the law is, without all of the media hype.”

Dumb ALEC Runs for Cover on “Stand Your Ground.”

Posted on by

“ALEC is the American Legislative Exchange Council. It is a little-known conservative think tank. It is the source of the ‘stand your ground’ laws. It is now running for cover. Bill Gates’s foundation says it will not send money any longer. So has McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and Kraft Foods. This reveals what ALEC has concealed for decades. The Establishment Left has always written checks to ALEC, which has kept ALEC on a short leash.  ALEC is getting out of the law enforcement and social policy fields. It will return to its ‘economic roots.’ The Trayvon Martin case is the cause. Zimmerman was declared not guilty. But that does not matter at ALEC.”
