"Somehow, there are people who confess they are gun owners, who keep saying that Barack Obama is no threat to the Second Amendment."
"They actually go so far as to say that he has strengthened the Second Amendment during his first term."
"... [H]e HAD to accept the Amendment to the Credit Card Reform bill that allowed carrying of firearms in National Parks. He had the chance to allow guns in parks on its own and he refused. ..."
"Then there are his Supreme Court Judges, specifically Sotomayor who lied to congress about her belief in the Second Amendment only to rule against its definition of an individual right the first time it came up."

"Saturday night’s confrontation at a Seattle mini-mart between a would-be robber with an apparent fake gun and a gutsy clerk with a real one has gone viral since first reported yesterday, but Seattle anti-gunners, including outgoing Mayor Mike McGinn, are noticeably silent."
"That probably would not be the case had the clerk been shot, as that outcome would have been exploited as proof of the need for passage of a 15-page gun control initiative now gathering signatures. Gun prohibitionists are typically tongue-tied when this sort of story pops up." ... |

"The Second Amendment Foundation today launched a satirical website poking fun at President Barack Obama’s health care fiasco, warning gun owners, 'Don’t let Obama do to our gun rights what he’s done to our health care.'"
"'With a track record like Barack Obama has on health care,' said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb, 'we don’t want the president getting involved in gun care or firearms safety.'"
"SAF launched ObamaGunCare.com to bring attention to the concerns of gun owners about the president’s support for various forms of gun control during the past year. In a mock advertisement, the website’s message is biting." ... |

The signs went up on October 12th. A week later, Phoenix city officials decided the ads didn’t meet a requirement that such ads provide 'adequate notice' of a commercial transaction, and the next day, the ads were gone. Korwin sued and lost . . ."

"This month marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Night of the Broken Glass, or Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom against Germany’s Jews in November 1938. Historians have documented everything about it except what made it so easy to attack the defenseless Jews without fear of resistance. Their guns were registered and were easily confiscated in the weeks before the onslaught." ...
"By fall of 1938 ... the Jews were ordered to surrender their firearms."
"[Olympic athlete] Alfred Flatow walked into a Berlin police station to comply with the command and was arrested on the spot, as were other Jews standing in line. The arrest report confirmed that his pistols were duly registered ..." ... |

According to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives almost 200,000 firearms went missing or stolen last year. Host Ric Young talks with Professor Joyce Malcolm, Professor of Law and Patrick Henry Chair of Constitutional Law and the Second Amendment at George Mason University near Washington, DC, about why this proposal might not go anywhere and why she thinks tracking stolen and missing guns is not a good idea." |

"The saying goes, 'God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal.' Setting aside concerns about gender-specific pronouns ... it’s difficult to think of a situation where this applies more than that of the physically disabled. Stand your ground laws may have put an end to the legal duty to retreat (check your jurisdiction), but some of us lack the simple ability to retreat from a threat. While I have always been a firm believer in avoiding trouble, sometimes trouble finds you, and I cannot for the life of me think of a good reason why self defense should be the sole domain of the able-bodied. I hear a lot of talk about disability rights, but without the right to defend ourselves none of it really means anything . . ." ... |

I feel it is my duty to remain as impartial as possible when discussing contentious issues. Given the current political climate, one of the more controversial matters to discuss is firearms laws and regulations. My favorite course to teach is Contemporary World Issues.

"The number of companies making AR-15 style rifles has exploded in the last couple years. Even some of the bigger names in the industry who had previously avoided the platform are getting in on the action, like Smith & Wesson and Ruger. Now that those companies have an established foothold in the market, it’s only natural that they would want to expand. We saw S&W’s M&P-10 in 7.62 NATO come online at the SHOT Show and now Ruger has gotten into the AR-10 game with their SR-762 offering . . ." ... |

"Quick: Think about any recent gun-control article or statement written by or about someone who favors the gun-control argument. Have you noticed anything? NRA News contributor Colion Noir has: the term 'gun control' is being replaced by 'gun safety.' And he’s none too happy about it."
"'Unless they changed the gun safety rules, which are pretty much the Bible of the gun world – so I’m pretty sure they’re still the same – I don’t see how any of the proposed measures by anti-gunners will aid in the safety of gun use,' Noir says of the 'gun safety placebo' in his latest video after recapping the four foundational rules of gun safety." ... |

"'We will fight them every step of the way,' said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam."
"When it comes to gun-control advocacy, 'none of their proposals will make us safer,' Arulanandam said."
"The NRA argues that existing laws should be enforced and that the United States should improve mental health treatment rather than seek to restrict constitutionally protected rights."
"Gun rights activists postulate that something like background checks would not have stopped many of the high profile mass shootings in recent memory ..."
"Groups advocating for stricter laws counter that hundreds of thousands of firearms sales have been stopped at the point of purchase because of a failed background check." ...

Submitter's Note: According to the President "hundreds of thousands" is 1.5 million, and based on figures from 2010, 608 were deemd prosecutable and 128 resulted in guilty verdicts or pleas. In other words, 11,717 people had their rights denied for each "bad guy" denied a gun. |

"The AP this week reported about National Shooting Sports Foundation and Steve Sanetti's consideration of leaving Newtown. One must have sympathy for NSSF's employees. It must be uncomfortable being part of an organization whose major focus is promoting civilian assault weapons (AKA Modern Sporting Rifles) after such a weapon was used in last December's horrendous massacre in their own town. That they expressed feeling 'nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about' calls to mind Upton Sinclair's statement 'It's hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it'." ... |

The new regulations would make the application for trusts and companies to obtain federal tax stamps for gun mufflers (silencers, suppressors), short barreled rifles and shotguns, full-auto guns and a few other items, considerably more convoluted.

"While guns manufactured from 3-D printers do not pose a significant threat to public safety, mainly because (a) they’re cost prohibitive, one has to first purchase a 3-D printer which will run no less than $1,500, and then buy materials to make one and (b) they’re fragile, the average lifespan of a 3-D printed gun is only a handful of rounds, the council felt it necessary to get ahead of the curve, so to speak." ... |
