Former slave holding her “assault weapon”

Right here. 91% favor universal background checks. I think if one gun proposal does go through, it will be that one. But no one’s going to follow that law. Also high up at 86% is enforcing existing laws. I was surprised at the low 50 percentile for a ban on modern rifles and regular capacity magazines.

And I’m out.

Three negligent discharges on Gun Appreciation Day. Remember, guys, follow the rules.

From their facebook page:

Due to recent changes made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Cabela’s will no longer sponsor this year’s event. After careful consideration regarding Cabela’s business practices, and the feelings of our customers, Cabela’s will, unfortunately, not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

Good for them.

Bill Clinton says careful treading on gun owners:

Clinton closed his remarks with a warning to big Democratic donors that ultimately many Democratic lawmakers will be defeated if they choose to stand with the president.

He remembers 1994.

Private gun sales halted following shooting. Sure, after a negligent discharge, I can see being freaked out. But limiting purchases seems like it’s a bit much.

Man carries AR-15 in JCPenny store. Not a good way to win converts.

Ray Nagin, from Mayors Against Guns, indicted.

It’s quite the trend among that group.

Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show Bans Modern Rifles & Magazines

Worse, the NSSF sticks by them.

Groupon removes all gun related deals from their site

Time Warner to stop accepting ads with semi-autos and guns pointed at people. Not sure how often that really happened. And I’m certain they won’t show any more programming featuring guns, right?

Democrat Virginia Delegate Joe Morrisey who mishandled an AK variant used as a prop for pushing gun control that I mentioned? Yeah, turns out he had been disbarred for assault and issuing death threats. No wonder he doesn’t want you armed.

Take away my rights because I’m not responsible enough.

Someone like me shouldn’t own guns

Post-Traumatic Stupidity Syndrome. Because we must do something. For the children.

Now at 65%: 65% See Gun Rights As Protection Against Tyranny

Assault rifles have been banned for 27 years. So why are politicians and the media lying to you?

Carolyn McCarthy Hates The 1st Amendment As Much As The 2nd

That quote of the day from the other day has been meme-ified.

And, while my inclination to explain why I need some thing is often “because fuck you”, it’s not very effective marketing when you’re trying to get people on your side.

Back when the PATRIOT Act was rammed through, folks speculated that, since it was for terrorism, more stuff would become terrorism. Like when a 5 year old pointed a bubble gun at another kid. Or revenge on a cheating husband’s mistress turned into terrorism.

Glenn Reynolds: Gun control is a culture-war effort to rub middle America’s nose in the fact that the world is run by its betters. Any actual improvement in public safety is of no concern at all.

Gun controllers are liars. And that’s a pretty disgusting one right there.

Guns across America, and this is my favorite.

And in Phoenix.

That’s an odd little bird

Underway by NRA and the NYSRPA. They could use some support.

Brokaw: Silence On Gun Violence Akin To Failing To Oppose Segregation in 60s. Yes except this is a civil rights issue too, you blithering idiot.

Taurus, the second largest firearms manufacturer, is looking to buy up all the Freedom Group, uhm, groups. Maybe:

Brazilian gunmaker Forjas Taurus SA (FJTA4) is emerging as a likely bidder for Freedom Group Inc. as analysts bet that proposed U.S. gun controls will fail to deter demand in the world’s largest consumer firearms market.

Taurus, the acquirer of U.S. revolver maker Heritage Manufacturing Inc. last year, would be a good suitor for all or part of Freedom Group, according to brokerage Coinvalores and Wedbush Morgan Securities. Taurus, which said in November that it’s “analyzing acquisition opportunities” for 2013, declined to comment on speculation of a bid.

At The Washington Post.

It apparently took two burglaries of the homes of people whose addresses they published (who are no doubt going to sue them) and a package of dookie to be mailed to them. But they pulled their list.

I still hope they get sued and this costs them millions.

Why do you need an AR-15?

I don’t “need” my AR any more than Rosa Parks “needed” to sit in the front of that bus

No, really:

Jim Baker, the NRA representative present at the meeting, recalled the vice president’s words during an interview with The Daily Caller: “And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.”

But for some reason, they’ll have time to enforce all these new gun control proposals, right? This shows just how unserious they are other than a political show.
