• Microstamping Hits the Badger State

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Looks like we have another state considering this technology. The main problem with the technology, other than it being trivially easy to defeat, is that it won't affect the existing stock of guns on the streets. If you look at ATF's time-to-crime numbers, it shows that most crime guns have' [...]

• Obama to Visit LV Gun Clingers in Middle of Deer Season

  —Lehigh Valley Ramblings

  Number of comments: 45
  Right before his primary loss to Hillary Clinton, this is how Barack Obama summed up Pennsylvania voters. "[T]hey get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them." Now he's decided to make Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley the very first' [...]

• Another MAIG Mayor Convicted

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Mayor Shiela Dixon of Baltimore is among the latest criminal members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. She was stealing gift cards from the poor. She beat the felony rap, but was convicted of fraudulent misappropriation by a fiduciary. Clearly we need to do something about keeping illegal guns out of the [...]

• All I have to say here …

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  ... is that if you can honestly say given a situation like this, you'd rather be unarmed than armed, you're either insane, or seriously and delusionally committed to the proposition that guns are just bad all around. Yes, people who carry guns can still end up being victims. Guns are [...]

• Apparently Lots of Guns Get Found by TSA

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  This is one "oops" I can relate to, after my TSA experience in Phoenix. Apparently there's about 902 firearms found at security checkpoints each year. Although I was a lot more careful with the guns themselves, I can easily see how someone in a rush can forget a pistol in a [...]

• Dominguez Case in California Ends in Plea Deal

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Remember the case of that guy who got caught at LAX because he was picking up a friend to go shooting with a trunk for of so-called "assault weapons?" He plead guilty to Misdemeanor CCW and had his guns returned. Good work on the part of his attorneys. It's a [...]

• Hungarian Gun Laws

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  The Firearms Blog has some coverage of the gun laws in Hungary. Looks like they mostly shoot air guns there, because that's basically all that's legal. There's some kind of rubber ball gun that's apparently relatively unrestricted that looks like it would do some damage if shot at someone. But [...]

• Philadelphia: Your Playstation & Cell Phone Connection To The Developing World Since 2007

  —Philebrity

  As you may have read, a suspect was arrested in Philadelphia on Saturday after trying to purchase enough missiles and machine guns to take down, well, a lot of things. It was all part of a sting that began way back in ‘07, in which a Philly-based FBI agent began [...]

• Leaving No Doubt What MAIG Is

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Look at this article from the Jewish Exponent: Much of CeaseFirePA's efforts are focused on curbing "straw sales" to felons and enacting more stringent requirements for reporting lost or stolen handguns. The campaign seeks to gather enough leaders to force the legislature to move on this issue. As part of its push, [...]

  Ah, here's a story which is a perfect convergence of those crazy gun control advocates and activist judges infecting their sinister anti-founding fathers memes into the minds of ordinary Americans in order to defeat our precious 2nd Amendment Rights. And in Tennessee forgawdssakes! Is nothing sacred! A Davidson County judge' [...]

  From J.R. Absher over at Shooting Illustrated's guns and hunting blog. We talked about this earlier when Jacob blogged about it.

• Sharp Rise in Morris County Gun Permits

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Cemetery reports, with some charts, on a fairly significant rise in people being issued Firearms Owners ID cards, and permits to purchase handguns in Morris County, New Jersey. One thing to consider is that FID cards are good for life, so these issuances represent new gun owners, which increased 57% [...]

• Electronic Doodad Tracks Shots & Location

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Normally I am against electronic doodads on guns if the doodad is necessary for the firearm's operation, since electronics can fail, and batteries can die. But since this device only enhances the functioning of the firearm, it seems like a good idea to me, and fits in the previously wasted [...]

  He's currently calling for less than outright denial, but he's still calling on using the terrorist watch list, which is secret, and which is only a database of names, to keep tabs on guns people buy. Actually, the interesting part of this is that apparently the FBI is already keeping [...]

• Trying to Stop an Airgun Ban in Scotland

  Looks like the Scottish Government is trying to get power to regulate airguns from Westminster, but shooting enthusiasts are trying to stop it, fearing that the Scottish Government will ban them. Yes, even airgun sports are not safe if our numbers and political power are dropped to a sufficient degree. Related posts:UK [...]

• We Have to Get Rid of Levdansky

  After surviving a challenge from Monica Douglass last election, State Representative David Levdansky has been taking his "Lost and Stolen" show on the road, in an effort to weaken preemption in Pennsylvania by getting municipalities to pass illegal ordinances regulating guns. "We are on the same team with him," said Mary [...]

  People are starting to notice that the gun rationing law passed in the fall at the behest of soon-to-be-ex-Governor Corzine has some serious problems. I'm put off though that the powers that be are claiming they just suddenly realized this: "As it stands now, retailers would be prohibited from purchasing guns'" [...]

• Is Your Mayor a Bloomberg Anti-Gun Tool?

  —Pawatercooler.com

  For someone like myself who is very pro-2nd Amendment but not necessarily on the front lines, I found this quite disturbing. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomburg’s pet organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns (”MAIG”) has made significant inroads into Pennsylvania. MAIG is a driving force behind mandated reporting of lost or stolen guns, [...]

  Dave Hardy points out that, surprise, it started with Clinton.

That said, it doesn’t' [...]
