Tennessee’s Governor, The New York Times, and a “Fringe Constitutional Theory”
Posted by: | CommentsTwo 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→

Posted by: | Comments
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→

More on Mexico and U.S. Guns
Posted by: | CommentsYesterday, 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→
Politicians Lie Again: Guns In Mexico Not From USA
Posted by: | CommentsAs 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.
Watch the Mexico Border: Gun Control is Coming
Posted by: | CommentsGun 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 Bans Firearms from Public Land by Decree Alone
Posted by: | CommentsSeattle 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.

Useable Brass Cases Can Be Purchased from the Department of Defense Once Again
Posted by: | CommentsThe Defense Logistics Agency changed the policy on small arms brass cases again. It would now appear we are back to the original place. That is, the public can once again purchase expended brass from the Department of Defense without having to render it useless.
In response to several of my questions, Government Liquidation sent me the following response: Read More→
Update on the Surplus Brass Case Ban
Posted by: | CommentsI have seen a variety of posts and e-mails regarding the destruction of surplus brass cases, an effective ban on reloading components from the Department of Defense. Some of the Internet posters claim that no such ban is in effect, or that the ban only applies to shipments overseas.
Let me make it very clear. The Department of Defense contracts all surplus sales to a company called Government Liquidation, LLC. Government Liquidation was told to immediately require that all fired munitions cases, including small arms brass cases in .223, 9mm, .308, and .50 BMG, be mutilated or rendered unusable upon sale. In fact, Government Liquidation is required to ensure mutilation of all brass cases recently sold, or that are under a term contract. Read More→
Surplus Brass Case Ban: Ammunition Prices Will Go Up
Posted by: | CommentsFor many years, the military has auctioned off their fired brass cases, allowing the economical remanufacture of ammunition as an affordable purchasing option to citizens, shooting clubs, and law enforcement agencies. That has all come to a crashing end.
As of Friday, March 13, the US Government has now ordered that all surplus brass cases be mutilated (rendered unusable) prior to sale. This means that millions of rounds of ammunition in .223, .308, 9mm, and .50 BMG will no longer be manufactured.
Let me say that again: because of the current administration, millions of rounds of ammunition, in some of the most popular calibers, have just disappeared from the supply channels. Read More→
Florida Governor Charlie Crist selected circuit court judge James Perry to fill a vacancy on the Florida Supreme Court. Perry, a Democrat, was appointed instead of NRA-backed candidate Judge Al Lawson.
