[no evidence cited] The majority of guns illegally sold on the street come from an unlikely place: the law-abiding, well-meaning gun owner looking for self-protection — but who fails to secure their investment or know enough about their weapon to pro

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....

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.

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

"I will cancel any plans to vacation or otherwise visit in Arizona until I learn more," Frommer wrote. "And I will begin thinking about whether tourists should safeguard themselves by avoiding stays in Arizona."

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.
