Sikh man cites religion in lawsuit against gun controls

Posted on by

“Gursant Singh Khalsa, a practicing Sikh for 35 years, charges in the lawsuit filed this month that California’s laws banning military-style, semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines violate mainstream Sikh doctinre requiring Sikhs ‘be at all time fully prepared to defend themselves and others against injustice.’  ‘We’re required to wear what’s called a kirpan’ or dagger, he said Thursday. ‘I feel, as far as my religion goes, it dictates that we should have all weapons of all kinds to defend ourselves. By not being able to carry an assault rifle or weapon that has a high-capacity magazine, I don’t feel that I can defend myself or my family.'”

When Proactive Policing Becomes Harassment

Posted on by

“The track record of the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk program suggests that its officers’ suspicions of criminal activity are frequently less than reasonable, since they turn out to be right only 12 percent of the time. Forms officers fill out after these encounters rely heavily on all-purpose excuses such as ‘furtive movements’ and ‘high crime area’ to justify stopping people.  As the number of stop-and-frisk encounters initiated by the NYPD grew from about 100,000 in Michael Bloomberg’s first year as mayor to almost 700,000 in 2011, the share of stops yielding guns fell from 0.38 percent to 0.033 percent. Bloomberg says that trend shows the program is working.”

Cops running out of bullets? Thank the NRA

Posted on by

“Dayne Pryor is the chief of police in Rollingwood, Texas, a small suburb of Austin. ‘I’ve been in law enforcement for 31 years and I’ve been a chief for eight years,’ he sighs. ‘And it’s just one of those things that I never thought I’d have a problem with, especially being in Texas.’  Pryor’s problem, he explains to Salon, is that he’s having trouble finding ammunition and firearms for his officers, thanks to a national shortage. The cause? A run on supply from gun lovers afraid that Congress or state legislatures will impose new gun control laws in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting.”

Calling All Of Freedom’s Friends to NY State

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“You’ll recall that Mr. Wassell is the first victim the People’s Democratic Republic of New York has persecuted under its anti-Constitutional SAFE Act. Let’s be sure that Mr. Wassell doesn’t confront the totalitarians all alone: make plans to attend this upcoming stage of his trial if at all possible — more for your sake than his. The heroic Kurt Hofmann offers an excellent summary of this kangaroo-case in today’s column. I appreciate his tactic of embarrassing New York’s rulers by emphasizing Mr. Wassell’s status as a wounded Marine — something those of you spreading the word about Mr. Wassell may want to stress as well.”

3D Printed Guns (Documentary)

Posted on by

3D Printed Guns (Documentary)

“This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 24 year old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology. This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. MOTHERBOARD sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.”

‘Pirate Bay’ for 3D printing launched

Posted on by

“The company that developed 3D printed gun parts has announced plans to launch a new firm, dedicated to copyright-free blueprints for a range of 3D printable objects.  The firm, Defcad, is the brainchild of Cody Wilson, law student and self-styled crypto-anarchist.  Mr Wilson said the revolution which many predict 3D printing will bring about will only happen if it can be freed from corporate ties.  The blueprints available on the site will be for ‘important stuff’, he said. ‘Not trinkets, not garden gnomes but the things institutions and industries have an interest in keeping from us; access, medical devices, drugs, goods, guns.'”

3D-printed gun maker now has federal firearms license to manufacture, deal guns

Posted on by

“Defense Distributed—America’s best-known group of 3D gunsmiths—announced on Facebook that its founder, Cody Wilson, is now a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer. The group published a picture of the Type 7 federal firearms license (FFL) to prove it.  Wilson and his colleagues have been making prototypes of guns for months now. Most recently, the group demonstrated an AR-15 semi-automatic, which is allowed under American law without a license. The legal difference now is that Wilson can sell and distribute the guns he makes. The process can take as little as 60 days, but in this case it took around six months.”

Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Bill: Dead on Arrival

Posted on by

“Feinstein is not just a liberal. She is a California liberal. She is a feminist California liberal. That is, she does not have a lick of political sense.  Her bill is creating the biggest wave of gun buying we have seen in my lifetime. Across the nation, there is massive demand to buy guns. Every time Feinstein opens her mouth, another American who never thought of buying a gun heads for Walmart to buy a shotgun or some other weapon.  Feinstein is the gun industry’s manna from heaven. Like manna in the wilderness, she keeps coming back every day.”

Mayor Bloomberg bankrolls $12 million gun control ad campaign

Posted on by

“New York mayor Michael Bloomberg is bankrolling a $12m advertising blitz in a bid to pressure Congress into adopted stricter gun controls.  The television ads are set to run in 13 key states during the congressional recess and are aimed at influencing an upcoming Senate vote on gun reforms.  Meanwhile public opinion appears to be wavering. In the immediate aftermath of the Connecticut school massacre, some 52% of Americans were found to be in favour of major restrictions on guns. According to a CNN/ORC poll released last week, that number had dropped to 43%.”
