An Armed People in Mexico and Their Threat to the State

“The self-defense groups have been organizing themselves–and have seized towns throughout Mexico in over 11 states–to fight against cartels like the Knights Templar in Michoacan under the umbrella of the Consejo de Autodefensas Unidas de Michoacan (Council ofUnited Self-Defense Groups of Michoacan). The Mexican government just sent their military to disarm them in Parácuaro , according to reports shooting 7-12 and killing 4 people, including an 11 year old girl, only to later return their weapons due to public pressure. People from Parácuaro came out to the main road to confront the military with sticks and stones, which forced them to return the weapons.”

BATFE Confirms: All Gun Owners Subject to Arrest in Cars
“The Oklahoma Second Amendment Association just released a letter dated July 25, 2013 from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives confirming the following facts about Title 18 USC 922(q) ‘The Federal Gun Free School Zones Act.’ Bottom line: BATFE has confirmed in writing that everyone is subject to arrest and permanent loss of gun rights for gun possession within 1,000 feet of a school; a carry permit provides no protection outside your home state; lack of a permit puts you at complete risk in any populated area (click map for links).”
Smith & Wesson Ends Most CA Sales Due to Microstamping Regulation

“On January 22nd renowned gun maker Smith & Wesson joined Sturm, Ruger, & Co., by announcing it would cease California sales of its semi-automatic pistols due to microstamping requirements that went into effect last year. Microstamping is a requirement that each firearm be fitted with a special firing pin that leaves a fingerprint on a bullet casing. The cost of doing this would be passed on to consumers in higher prices. Moreover, the result of doing this would be yet another gun registry. On top of these things, microstamping doesn’t even work–and least not all the time. There are proven problems with the durability of microstamps on firing pins.”
Man pulled over, harassed for having permit but no gun

“Ten minutes after an officer took Filippidis’ license, registration and proof of insurance to his patrol car, he returned the documents, ordered him out of the vehicle and told him to hook his thumbs behind his back and spread his legs. ‘You own a gun,’ the officer said. ‘Where is it?’ ‘At home in my safe,’ Filippidis replied. Right about this time, one has to ask, How did they know he was a gun owner? And why was he stopped in the first place? The officer called in backup and spent the next two hours searching the Explorer and its contents. Probable cause of what? Legally possessing a firearm?”
Doctors fight back against new role as gun control arbiters

“Within the new Obamacare law is a provision that critics say places their doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the role of arbiters in the push for more gun control. A previous Examiner report exposed that fact. But many doctors are fighting back. They don’t want to be gun control arbiters. They do not see such a thing as being part of their role as medical care providers. And even if they were forced into such a role, they see themselves as ill-equipped to make such decisions. The doctors in particular cite statistics that do not match the government rhetoric concerning guns.”

![]()
“At the Consumer Electronic Show, the Austin, Texas-based start-up TrackingPoint showed off its all-new 500 Series AR Smart Rifle, a gun that makes it almost impossible for any user to miss. TrackingPoint is the inventor of Precision Guided Firearms, a guided shooting system that the company says creates the most accurate guns in the world. The new rifle is the company’s first semi-automatic series. This technology turns even a neophyte into a marksman, at least within a 500-yard range. The user simply ‘tags’ the target, and the gun and ammo do the rest, all for a mere $9,950—the starting price for the new series.”

Should you lose your gun rights if you visit a shrink?

“In a preternatural example of tone-deafness, an administration under fire for snooping into Americans’ privacy is now proposing to waive federal privacy laws so psychiatrists can report their gun-owning patients to the government. The Department of Health and Human Service’s ‘notice of proposed rule-making,’ floated by the White House in a Friday media dump, would waive portions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to allow psychiatrists to report their patients to the FBI’s gun-ban blacklist (the NICS system) on the basis of confidential communications.”
