“This sends a message to the world outside of New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and California: buy while you still can. Buy at gun shows. Pay a little more. Get off your duff. Is gun control coming? No. Then why buy? Because newcomers think gun control is coming. Prices will go up. The mania will spread. This is not a bubble market. This is the new normal. The liberals want gun control. They are not going to get it in heartland America. What they are getting is the opposite of what they say they want: a new dedication to buy guns and ammo is spreading like a prairie fire across the nation.”

Unhappy about new limits, gun makers urged to move to New Hampshire
“Firearms manufacturers upset over newly restrictive gun laws and proposals in their home states are getting a message from other places: Move here, where the climate is favorable to your products, and so are the tax codes. When the debate over gun laws reignited after the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., in December, critics of proposals to toughen state laws cautioned that gun manufacturers could move and take local jobs with them. And indeed, now lawmakers and residents in a few states are using restrictions on guns recently passed and proposed elsewhere as an opportunity to attract affected businesses.”
Connecticut’s Gun Control: A Rush To Pass Laws That Couldn’t Have Prevented Tragedy

“The grab bag (PDF) of background checks, gun, ammunition and magazine restrictions, limitations on eligibility to own firearms and a new registry of ‘weapon offenders’ inconveniences people who had nothing to do with the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, and certainly would have had no impact on Adam Lanza’s ability to commit that crime. But don’t think anybody will get to point that out in a public hearing; the legislation is being sent directly to a vote through an emergency procedure that allows for no stops on the way.”

New Wisconsin Gun Ban Doesn’t Apply To Lawmakers

“Lawmakers in Racine, Wisconsin voted yesterday to ban concealed weapons in city-owned buildings — except for themselves. The ordinance passed by a vote of 9 to 5 yesterday (April 3, 2013), but drew criticism from council members and area residents. ‘When you deprive us of a constitutional right but then turn around and give it to yourselves – that is incomprehensible,’ Racine resident Gary Dulek said. Several other people spoke out against that philosophy at the Common Council meeting Wednesday night. ‘This is about elected officials who believe they’re above the law,’ another attendee said.”

Lead Sponsor Of Federal High Capacity Ban Was Unaware Magazines Could Be Reloaded
“CO Rep. Diana DeGette (D) didn’t seem to understand the obvious basics of how firearms work, all the while being a lead sponsor on a federal ban of high-capacity magazines. As you can see in the video above, the Congresswomen seems to think magazines and ammunition are somehow one and the same and that after their initial use will no longer exist. Responding to a citizens question about what he is to do now that he is at a disadvantage for having to change magazines, DeGette stated with a condescending smirk, ‘The good news for you, you live in Denver. The [Denver Police Department] would be there within minutes.'”
Democrats push for $10K fine for gun owners without liability insurance
“A group of congressional Democrats has signed on to new legislation that would mandate liability insurance for all gun owners in the United States — and fine those who refuse to purchase it as much as $10,000. The Daily Caller reports that New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s Firearm Risk Protection Act says that all gun buyers — before they buy — purchase and show proof of ‘a qualified liability insurance policy,’ and that those caught owning a weapon without the insurance are subject to harsh fines.”

The Colorado Shooter Was on Psycho Drugs
“The news is out. The killer, James Holmes, who dressed up as The Joker and shot up a movie theater full of people in Colorado, had been taking Zoloft, the same dangerous psychotropic drug that the Columbine killer, Eric Harris, had been taking. According to the information released by the judge in the case, Homes had also been taking a drug called Clonazepam. How long do we have to wait until there is a thorough investigation into the dangers these drugs pose to society?”
Colorado to grant Secret Service vast new powers

“The bill grants members of the Secret Service arrest powers by considering them to be a peace officer, putting them on a par with state law-enforcement officials. The legislation does not only apply to agents guarding the president or other government officials but also to special agents, uniformed division officers, physical security technicians, physical security specialists and special officers of the United States Secret Service. The idea actually aligns with an Obama agenda to create vast new restrictions and regulations on guns. Hundreds of sheriffs nationwide have said they cannot enforce federal restrictions that would violate the Second Amendment.”

An Idaho “Gun Violence” Story for the Huffington Post

“The Sheriff staged a SWAT-style raid in which the supposed victim was assaulted by a Deputy (Detective Rich Perecz, who has a previous violent offense in his criminal record), Bear was handcuffed, and an illegal search of the home was made in the hope of finding narcotics evidence that could be used as an excuse to forfeit (that is, steal) the property. Why were Bear and Marcella singled out for such abusive treatment? According to recorded radio traffic among the deputies, the paramilitary raid was carried out because Bear had been politically profiled as a ‘Constitutionalist’ – which meant that in the interests of ‘officer safety,’ SWAT tactics would be employed.”
Without a Shot

“On January 16, 2013, President Obama released 23 ‘Gun Violence Reduction Executive Actions’ of which Action #2, #14, #16, #17, #21, and #22 utilize the national healthcare system to collect gun ownership information. As Obamacare grows over the next decade, unwary citizens will voluntarily divulge firearm ownership information including serial numbers in exchange for routine healthcare. Through the power of incrementalism, placing this information in a federal database seems harmless at first. However, someday in the future, imagine a loved one in your care needing critical medical attention, so you rush into an Obamacare facility because no other option exists.”
