"We wrote about this yesterday."
"The Cliff’s Notes: Two boys were target shooting an airsoft pistol on private property about 70 yards from a bus stop before the school bus arrived to pick up the boys for school. A neighbor called police, who showed up. Cops notified the school, who suspended the kids based upon the 'zero tolerance' for weapons at school."
"Yes, the airsoft gun – not even a weapon – was on private property outside of school hours."
"Anyway, the twits on the school board’s discipline committee voted 3-0 today to expel the boys for the entire school year." ... |

"While lots of people are headed to Texas today for this weekend’s 28th annual Gun Rights Policy Conference in Texas, the Seattle Times is reporting that a 22-year-old Texas man is facing charges for an incident at the Queen City Yacht Club, where — the newspaper reports — he was 'high, half-naked and ranting about an 'Asian female ninja'.'"
"The suspect, identified in this morning’s Times as Michael Allan Bray, is the fellow who was shot in that incident, discussed by this column. A witness at the yacht club used a shotgun to put an end to Bray’s alleged drug-induced rampage." ... |

"Maybe I saw too many gladiator movies as a kid but there’s something distinctly homoerotic about a product named 'Spartan Accuracy Oil.' No, they don’t sell brain bleach. But Spartan Accuracy Systems does sell a new ... cleaner/lubricant that improves your [shooting] accuracy. Allegedly. According to the manufacturer, Spartan Accuracy Oil’s 'the first offering in a bold new system of products designed to extend the life of your firearms and increase their functionality in terms of Accuracy, Reliability, and Performance.' Something about nano nano technology that 'makes the gun shoot better.' TTAG’s contacting the manufacturer for a syringe full of gun goodness; we’ll report back ASAP. Full press release after the jump . . ." ... |

"Some styles never fade; the tuxedo, the little black dress or the martini. They’re go-to icons of classic style and functionality. Along the same lines is the full-sized .38 revolver. Six rounds of widely-available ammo in a package that rarely fails that delivers only a little more recoil than a .22 auto. It’s the ideal bedside gun for those unfamiliar with firearms who might lack the coordination, strength or inclination to wield a shotgun indoors . . ." ... |

"The Masterpiece Arms MPAR 556 is now shipping and can be purchased from your local dealer. For those not familiar with the rifle, it is a piston-driven rifle that looks similar to the AR-15. Some parts are interchangeable with AR-15 rifles, such as the magazines, but running the gun is different."
"The MPAR 556 has a non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the gun that incorporates a forward assist. A folding stock is standard on the MPAR 556, and the gun will fire normally from the folded position." ... |

"'We’re moving on from Starbucks to Staples,' Shannon Watts tells forbes.com. The biz mag describes Ms. Watts as the 'founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a group of 110,000 grassroots activists formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Conn.' That would be the organization originally known as One Million Moms for Gun Control, a goal it failed to reach by well over 900k moms. Truth be told, Ms. Watt’s re-branded anti-gun org has 100k activists like I have a 11" penis. Not that Forbes’ scribe Clare O’Connor is interested in either stat. She’s focused on mindlessly pimping Watts’ anti-gun agenda . . ." ... |

"They aren’t big fans of self-defense or gun ownership."
"They published a story today (a huge hat tip to Miguel at Gun Free Zone) touting how women who buy guns for self-defense are fools risking their lives. They cite 'research' by the Violence Policy Center, a group widely known for their 'creative' junk research which is often little more than Google searches crafted to promote the story VPC wishes to promote." ... |

"There is a lot of controversy swirling around about the UN Arms Trade Treaty that was signed by Secretary of State John Kerry this week. The treaty would still have to be ratified by the Senate by a 2/3 majority vote. This seems highly unlikely right now. However, treaties, unlike bills, do not have to be reintroduced to Congress each session, so the treaty could literally sit in committee for years waiting for an anti-gun Senate to come to power and pass it." ... |

"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry signed a controversial United Nations (U.N.) arms treaty despite bipartisan opposition. U.S. Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, both R-Wyo, who have long opposed the treaty, said Kerry’s acceptance of the document is symbolic of an Administration that has very little respect for the Second Amendment rights of Americans or American sovereignty. They believe the treaty is well short of the two-thirds vote in the Senate that would be needed for the treaty to be ratified." ... |

The Feds, working along with MY local constables set up fake storefronts where undercover law enforcement, among other things, got busy 'arranging drug and illegal gun transactions and dangling armed robbery opportunities in front of convicted felons.' I lack the legal knowledge to know if this constitutes entrapment or not, but that’s the least controversial aspect of this. Further along on the story we learn . . ." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins ... Society is in every state a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. — THOMAS PAINE |
