The house may be pushing a deeply flawed concealed carry bill. The NRA has their own bill.

Registration leads to . . .

Make no mistake, the current background check proposals are about registration. That being almost secondary to the gun control proposals being a snub to us cousin-humping rednecks. That law has the most likelihood of passing though the deal is not done. And the registration angle fits with their own report.

Pay no attention to the gun grab behind the curtain

The other goal is to break us. They’ve thrown everything at us and the one thing that stuck was the background checks. Keep your eye on the ball.

Beretta says why expand when the locals can’t buy their products.

Boycott the non-boycotters.

Good for them

And the NRA is pointing that out. Along with the whole registration and confiscation thing.

True:

Teachers taking handgun class!

A list

But not rape free

The anti-gun movement doesn’t have any. But they’ve got plenty of astroturf.

How about sex offender free?

Someone walked right past a restraining order and shot his family.

A newspaper apologizes for trying to get a list of permit holders.

Thai police have gun dogs. Dogs with holstered guns on them. OK, then.

The birth of a suppressor

The NYT: A federal appeals court has ruled that permits allowing people to carry concealed weapons are not protected by the Second Amendment.

Really. Also, tough questions on facebook are plants.

Defdist has figured out 3D printed AR-15 lowers. They’ve done magazines before.

Now, up to 66 companies.

So, after GunNuts got hacked and reading Les’ post on securing wordpress, I installed Better WP Security. It logs attempts to log in to my blog software. Within 45 minutes, it logged about 30 attempts. That surprised me.

Handgun carry coming to Illinois, says the SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation today won a significant victory for concealed carry when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals let stand a December ruling by a three-judge panel of the court that forces Illinois to adopt a concealed carry law, thus affirming that the right to bear arms exists outside the home.

The ruling came in Moore v. Madigan, a case filed by SAF. The December opinion that now stands was written by Judge Richard Posner, who gave the Illinois legislature 180 days to “craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment…on the carrying of guns in public.” That clock is ticking, noted SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb.

He said to use a shotgun and not an AR-15 because it’s too complicated, especially for women. Odd, since I’m sure he supports the recent allowing of women in combat. And those guns are even more complicated than AR-15s because they have one more position on the selector switch.

Also, he advised firing a couple of warning shots. Warning shots are almost always illegal.

And shotguns are used in more crimes than AR-15s.

Heh.

I need one with a picatinny mount.

Over gun shows

Harassing and detaining a wheelchair-bound three year old girl and taking her stuffed animal. She was heading to Disney.

So says a VA republican:

For the first time since the Dec. 14 mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, House Judiciary Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte said Friday that his chamber will take legislative action to curb gun violence.

And this got my attention:

The Senate is at work on it, and we are as well. Our goal is to do anything we can do keep firearms out of the hands of people who should not have them.

So, you’re going to make it illegal to shoot your mom in the face and steal her guns?

Gov. Rick Perry invites Magpul to set up shop in his state.

So, you can be shot with an unloaded gun. Or something.
