Police have seized about 400 guns since March after knocking on the doors of registered firearm owners. Police did not lay any charges but seized hundreds of weapons. “I think we’ve created a safer situation,” said Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair. “T

There's no substitute for practice. Pulling the trigger will put bullets down range. To do it accurately and repeatedly will take time. Make the best use of your time by getting instruction, advise, and pertinent feedback.
In 2007, short of a total economic catastrophe, few would have considered selling a family heirloom; in 2009, many viewed that family heirloom as a source of money with which they could buy something perceived as being far more important (e.g., prime

In a legislative draft released this week, Baucus would fine you up to $3,800 for not buying precisely the insurance policy which Barack Obama orders you to buy.
Baucus isn’t going to tell you that until after the bill is passed. We do know that, under the Baucus draft, a lower middle income family could be forced to pay up to 13% of its income to buy an ObamaCare policy. And, presumably, a middle income family would be required to spend much, much more....
This post is to help share a new perspective on things that they would otherwise never learn. Thanks to Brad Friedman for the opportunity to share with the audience of the Mike Malloy Show on K-TALK AM 1150 in California.
Just when you thought the news about the Obama administration couldn’t get any worse, gun owners find themselves needing to rally the troops once again.
This time it’s the proposed “Regulatory Czar” who will be coming to a vote this week in the U.S. Senate.
His name is Cass Sunstein, and he holds some of the kookiest views you will ever hear....
Background Checks On Firearm Sales Up 12% In August.
Americans buy 1,074,757+ guns in August 2009
Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the 956,872 reported in August 2008.
So far that is roughly 9,076,205 gun bought this year! The total is probably more as NICS background checks may cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time.
In May 2006, a small group of mayors, including ousted Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, were invited to a “summit” in New York by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to found Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The purported idea was to get so-called “illegal guns” off the streets; a lofty goal for sure, but might it not be a better idea to get criminals off the streets instead?
Of course, removing a criminal element from society has never been the MAIG goal. This group, which now boasts more than 400 members claiming to represent 56 million American citizens – legions of whom are undoubtedly law-abiding gun owners who are steadfastly opposed to more gun control measures – is only focused on removing what it calls “illegal guns” from society.

Millions of Americans have joined the NRA, send money for dues and are
solicited many times each year for donations to assist with the legal
rights of gun owners– or so they say. Well, they are paying their
lawyers all right, but not to defend the rights of those they claim to
represent.
The ultimate hypocrisy of statists is that they advocate constant, widespread initiation of violence against everyone (via "government"), while at the same time condemning as "violent" any talk of forcibly resisting tyranny.

Virginia is among a growing number of women, women over age 50, who are taking their safety seriously. "The bad guys don't just hang out in bad areas. They're coming to your neighborhood so people are starting to accept a lot of personal responsibility." Fire Arms Instructor Michael Jurina Is teaching this concealed carry class at the Shooter's Club in Harahan. "We've gotten a lot older group of people who've become a little worrisome, especially after Katrina and other recent events around the country that have made people say, 'Yikes. I guess the police aren't always there,'" he says.
"I felt unsafe after the hurricanes and after the millennium," says Virginia. Now, she feels very comfortable handling a gun. "I think i can sense danger. I know my rights. I know the dangers of what
Like the Panthers and the self-styled Arizona patriots, Chris got his
publicity. Somebody even started a "William Kostric for Congress" Facebook page. That's the joy of the Internet age. No matter how far off the radar your views may be, you can find love on the Web.
Ernest Hancock, the right-wing online radio host who carried a .9
[sic] millimeter pistol himself at the Phoenix protest and who interviewed
the other people who were carrying guns -- he used to work for a group
that defended a violent militia group called the Vipers. It was a
group that called themselves the Viper Reserves and they formed to
defend the Viper Militia.
Says Mr. Hancock, the pistol packin' man in Phoenix, "If you're not having fun advocating for freedom, you're doing it wrong." All fun and games, Mr. Hancock, until someone loses a life.
It's called the Ammunition Accountability Act (AAA). You've got to love the name. It sounds so noble. But remember the great gun writer, Mel Tappan's, universal rule of law: "The nobler the language, the more nefarious the purpose of any legal instrument."
It's been proposed in 18 states and, with some minor difference among them, here's what it will do once enacted:
Each box of ammo you buy will have a unique number.
Each round in the box will have a laser-etched number on the base of the bullet and on the inside of the cartridge case that corresponds to the number on the box.
Each time you buy ammo you will have to show ID with your name, date of birth, driver's license, etc., to be recorded so the box will be tied to you.
There will be a 5¢ tax on each and every round in the box. This "tax" will be to support the database.
You will have to maintain records if you give or sell ammo to relatives or friends. (And the above tax wou

Arizona, because he doesn't want to travel in a state where civilians

tourists should safeguard themselves by avoiding stays in Arizona."
After a man legally carried to Obama's Phoenix visit a REAL version of the TOY rifle at issue in this case, it became quite clear that there was an obvious discrepancy of recognition of rights between these 2 incidents.
"All parties have agreed that criminal charges in this matter are not in the best interest of justice," a police spokesman said.
After our man Chris took his AR-15 to the Obama rally, local gun law expert Alan Korwin was interviewed regarding the right to keep and bear arms in Arizona. The WGN radio host engaged in a fair amount of panty-wetting over the idea that Arizonans have the basic human right of self-defense, in sharp contrast to Chicago, where crime victims (aka "citizens") are almost completely disarmed.
