Ban Guns? No: Ban New York

By Richard on February 25, 2013 3 Comments

We can talk about how gun bans and registration schemes have nothing to do with crime control, but I think most people reading this site are already in one camp or another.  Gun control isn’t about guns or crime, it is all about control.

Ever since the Empire State (how fitting…) passed additional citizen control legislation earlier this year, gun companies are stepping up and refusing to do business with state agencies and local governments in New York.  I fully support these companies, and hope that other manufacturers and retailers step up and make a stand also.

The NC Gun Blog has been keeping up with all of the companies who are refusing to do business with New York.  As of this writing, they had identified 76 separate companies who were standing with the citizens, and not the government.  I’d suggest stopping by and seeing if any of your favorite companies are listed on the “naughty” or “nice” lists.

There is also information on how to contact three of the largest law enforcement firearms supplies:  Glock, Smith & Wesson and SIG Sauer.  If you believe these companies should restrict sales to the state and local governments in New York, perhaps these companies should hear from you.

Never Again.

Never again.  

How and why so many people have forgotten, or ignore, history baffles me.

Reed Boycott Grows

By Richard on January 23, 2013 2 Comments

The boycott of the Reed Exhibitions Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show has grown to more than 200 exhibitors according to MyNortheastOutdoors.com. This would amount to more than 17% of the total exhibitors having backed out of their commitment to display based on the ban on the display and sale certain type of legal firearms imposed by Reed Exhibitions.

Earlier this month, Reed Exhibitions announced they would not allow the display or sale of “…certain products that in the current climate may attract negative attention that would distract from the strong focus on hunting and fishing at this family-oriented event and possibly disrupt the broader positive experience of our guests.”  According to the NSSF and NRA, Reed Exhibitions was specifically banning Modern Sporting Rifles from the event.

Draconian NY Gun Laws: A FAQ or Two

By Richard on January 19, 2013 No Comments

Things are changing in New York due to the draconian new anti-gun laws imposed on the lawful residents of the state.  The so-called “SAFE Act” mandates a lot of new requirements on law-abiding citizens while while doing nothing to curb violent crime.  However, it is very possible that you could be come a criminal by unintentionally violating some aspect of the new law.

The New York governor’s office put up this FAQ to give you an idea of what the new law covers.  I’d be careful about relying too heavily on this page, though, as it seems the governor’s office is soft selling the restrictions.

Also important is this FAQ that Ruger put up.  Of particular importance is item #3, which states “PLEASE DO NOT SEND US MAGAZINES OR FIREARMS THAT ARE PROHIBITED UNDER THE NEW LAW.”  One could reasonable infer that if you were to send them an eight round magazine for repair that they would not be allowed to return it to you.  The same advice should apply to any firearm manufacturer.

Major Anti-Gun Moves Made & More Coming

By Richard on January 15, 2013 2 Comments

I hate to disrupt coverage of the 2013 SHOT Show, but our freedoms are in peril.  It is expected that later today, anti-gun Vice President Joe Biden will announce the gun control measures the administration will take and additional ones they will push for in Congress.

This comes on the heels of President Obama stating in a press conference yesterday that he plans on issuing executive orders to curtail gun rights.  In fact, there are 19 different suggestions for new gun control executive orders from Biden’s task force.

Also happening right now:  New York state is passing the most draconian gun laws ever seen in the USA.  That governor is pushing legislation through with remarkable ease.  Among the new restrictions:  new definitions of “assault weapons,”  background checks on ammunition purchases, makes owning a magazine with a capacity of more than seven rounds a criminal offense, outlaws “pre-94″ magazines, alerts the government to “high volume” ammunition purchasers and much more.

Don’t think the President can’t (or won’t) do it at the national level as well.

Fox News: No Second Amendment Friend

By Richard on January 8, 2013 5 Comments

“Too many loopholes that enable people to still get guns [exist]“

It kills me when conservative and libertarian minded people state that Fox News is “on their side.”  While there may be some people employed by Fox News that hold libertarian views, the company has never shown themselves to be anything more than a New York City progressive corporation.  People like Glenn Beck and Judge Andrew Napolitano no longer have shows on that network for a reason.

Currently, the citizens of the United States are in a struggle to maintain their natural rights to firearms and self defense as codified in the Constitution.  The President, members of Congress and other elected officials are publicly stating they are pushing hard for a repeal of our rights.  And guess what, Fox News seems ok with that.

In a recent episode of “On the Hunt,” Fox News correspondant Jonathan Hunt talked with Bradley Blakeman, a Republican strategist, and Basil Smikle, a Democratic consultant, about gun control.

“[The people] have a right to own a gun, provided that they meet the criteria in order to purchase that gun and to maintain that gun,” said Blakeman.  The former head of Freedom’s Watch and advisor to President George W. Bush clearly doesn’t understand how rights work.  Rights do not come with strings attached; you do not have to qualify yourself to exercise them.
