The NYCLU has a free phone app to help out against NYC’s stop and frisk, fourth amendment violation, stations:: The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) today unveiled “Stop and Frisk Watch”, a free and innovative smart phone application that will empower New Yorkers to monitor police activity and hold the New York Police Department […]

Is anyone?

A series of bills in Utah. From one of the bills, comes this: (b) A person may not provide to a dealer or other person what the person knows to be materially false information with intent to deceive the dealer or other person about the legality of a sale, transfer or other disposition of a […]

Trouble with that approach is you have no grassroots.

Stop and frisk encounters septupled.

This is an odd one: One would think that a church would feel a special obligation to make sure that they weren’t fueling a black market for a particularly deadly form of commerce Bloomie’s knickers are all in a twist because the LDS folks run classified ads on their for profit website.

You can hop on the internet and have a gun shipped to your door. That’s a lie but it’s the narrative put forth by Bloomberg. Dealers ship the guns to other dealers who perform background checks. It’s also against Craigslist policy to advertise guns. Also, a seller is not required to ask questions. If a […]

The Comical Squeal: Memphis’ $4.8 million will be used to revive areas of the city cut off by highway construction and approach handgun violence as a public health crisis, according to Mayor A C Wharton. No details on that handgun violence thing, though.

And he’s buying ads to say that.

His recent gun show “investigations” are already felonies under existing law. Despite the press and anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) telling you these transactions are perfectly legal, they are lying.

Sends ‘investigators’ to AZ gun shows. They claim they can’t pass background checks and buy guns from dealers anyway. Except that if it happened without a background check, they broke the law. A dealer must perform a NICS check or that is a violation of law. I’m guessing they bought from individuals, who are not […]

Jacob says one is coming Monday. I tend to agree with his assessment. Mayors Against Guns just did a press release on lack of funding, which is really lack of reporting.

Say the mayor: One of our newspapers has a campaign going to try to get the police department to ban the use of — one particular manufacturer’s guns,” Bloomberg said. “We think all that would do would be to get people to focus and buy more of that manufacturer’s guns.

One of his bodyguards charged with attempted murder after shooting someone. Guns bad, bodyguards good?

I went to the Lauer Custom Weapon‘s booth and checked out their stuff. Lots of things to make Bloomberg cry: From 2010 NRA Annual Meeting From 2010 NRA Annual Meeting

Realizing that they likely were on the top of the list after the McDonald case, NYC changed it’s rather draconian gun laws by relaxing them a bit. I’m guessing they realized that the laws were easy targets after McDonald, which everyone seems to think will go for the good guys. Paul Helmke agrees: “If I […]

Add another politician to the list of folks who want to deny rights by putting people on a list that cannot be verified or questioned. And he calls himself a redneck? As a redneck, them there are fighting words.

David Kopel has a look at what the head of Mayors Against Guns is up to.

So long, evil black rifle The Army will allow soldiers to paint their guns so that they blend in with the terrain.

So says the Gothamist. The NY Daily news quotes: “The city has never broken the law, but we have caught unscrupulous gun dealers selling in violation of federal law,” Post said. No. Since the original stings had to be illegal if illegal sales occurred. The second stings involved no law-breaking since they didn’t complete a […]

He’s touring the state to pass a law to make carrying a gun while drunk illegal. Odd because, generally, carrying is illegal there anyway. My conspiratorial mind wonders if there’s some attempt to get laws on the books before the Chicago Gun Case?

To the media. In the name of transparency. And because some bloggers already found it and released it.

Goodman operates gun shows and his were the object of Bloomberg’s affection. Goodman has offered a free booth to law enforcement and is taking what he calls proactive steps to educate customers and vendors on laws and regulations.

Looks like ATF may be looking into the dealers involved in the gun show bit done by NYC. Pretty clear some of the dealers were breaking the law. Last time Bloomy did this, ATF looked into it and told Bloomberg to knock it off because it compromised some investigations.

To get something out of the way, the dealers who broke the law, well, broke the law. And that’s damaging. I’m not defending them. And don’t care to. They do more harm than good. But they didn’t break the law because they were at a gun show. They broke the law because they broke the […]

ACK tells us that Bloomberg sent investigators to gun shows in Nashville to illegally buy guns. The AP report is here: Investigators hired by New York City conducted stings at gun shows in states that have not closed the “gun show loophole” and found some vendors openly selling weapons to buyers who admitted they couldn’t […]

Gun owners are terrorists: This has nothing to do with the right to bear arms, and everything to do with keeping our country safe from terrorists This is in response to the bill that allows passengers to check firearms on Amtrak trains, like people do on airplanes. This man is truly delusional on the gun […]

Seems the authorities caught a major gun dealer who used his wife and others for straw purchases. The guns were then illegally sold in NYC. Bloomberg cut a deal with the guy. This explains why the feds were a bit perturbed at Bloomie’s actions a bit back.

The war on salt.

Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, a member of Mayors Against Illegal guns (see links here), addresses his membership at about the 9:30 mark, here. He just signed it and thinks they have six points everyone should agree with. I can’t find those points. Obviously, he’s gearing up for his gubernatorial run. Some bits: [Bloomberg] has his […]
