I didn’t know this old rumor was still going ’round. From the NRA-ILA:
Over the past few months, NRA-ILA has received hundreds of e-mails warning us about “SB-2099,” a bill that would supposedly require you to report all your guns on your income tax return every April 15.
Like many rumors, there’s just a grain of truth to this one. Read More…
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE or ATF) have begun showing up on the door step of lawful gun owners in the southwest border states, asking to see their guns, record the serial numbers, and explain why they have bought the guns, according to information received by the NRA.
Michael Bane reported hearing the same kinds of stories from his listeners on his June 24 podcast. Read More…
Two new laws in Tennessee give back some gun rights to it’s citizens, much to the dismay of the Tennessee governor and the New York Times. The laws allow the concealed carry of a firearm into places 
that serve alcohol, and the assertion of the 10th Amendment for any firearms made and sold in Tennessee.
While the ranting by the increasingly irrelevant New York Times is expected, Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen’s opposition to the state’s citizens is highly concerning. Read More…
Anti-gun freak Michael Bloomberg announced the formation of the New York chapter of State Legislators Against Illegal Guns. State Legislators Against Illegal Guns is an ugly off-shoot of Bloomberg’s anti-liberty group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The forming of State Legislators Against Illegal Guns (SLAIG) was announced last March by Bloomberg in Jacksonville, FL. Read More…
Yesterday, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced a Senate bill designed to eliminate the private transfers of firearms.
Lautenberg, Jack Reed (D-RI), and Diane Feinstein (D-CA) met with Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (formerly known as Handgun Control, Inc.) to introduce this legislation. The Senate bill already has 11 co-sponsors. Read More…
Support for new gun control laws is at an all-time low according to a Gallup poll published April 8, 2009.
Down from an all-time high of 60% recorded in 1959, only 29% of the surveyed adults believed that citizens should be banned from owning and possessing handguns. Additionally, 69% of those surveyed outright oppose any ban on handguns. Read More…
Yesterday, Fox News published information showing that the administration has been lying about the quantity of guns moved from the USA into Mexico. But, they are not the only ones doing the research, and exposing these lies. Read More…
As I pointed out just a few days ago, the idea that the firearms used in Mexican crimes are coming from the United States is merely a political lie aimed at abridging your Second Amendment right. In fact, the lie is so outrageous, you have to wonder why no one in the media even hinted at the actual numbers.
Fox News published a well researched article exposing the lie. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, members of the BATFE, and the useful idiots in the media have been pushing the ludicrous idea that 90% of all arms used in crimes in Mexico were smuggled there from the USA. Fox News found the actual number to be only 17%.
How could the politicians be off by 73%? By the misstatement of facts, with the purpose of curtailing the rights of the US citizens to keep and bear arms.
I wonder if any other news organization will spend any time researching these numbers…?
Gun control advocates are excellent at slight-of-hand, and rarely will they ever stand up and discuss the issues in the full light of honest debate. Frequently, gun control folks will piggyback their agenda to a tragic incident or crisis, whether real or imagined. The current crisis they are fabricating for gun control is the ongoing violence in Mexico. Read More…
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickles is still at it. Undaunted by public outcry against his actions, Nickles is moving forward with banning all firearms from Seattle’s parks by executive order. By his word alone, Nickles looks to violate Washington laws on concealed carry of firearms and preemption, the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, and the concept of a representative democracy.
