The commenters to this post did all the hard work so I don't have to. Before you know it, gun bloggers will be out of business. This has to stop.

Heller point from the Puppy Blender

Glenn brings up a great point But nonetheless, all nine Justices specifically said the right is individual, and thus rejected the "collective right" position on the Second Amendment, a position that's been the mainstay of gun-control groups, newspaper editorialists, and lower federal courts for decades, and one that was presented by those adherents as so obviously correct that those arguing for an individual right were called "frauds" and shills for the NRA.

When historians attack

Or, I didn't like the outcome so I'll use ad hominem attacks instead My favorite part is this, which should have been at the very beginning of the article so I wouldn't have bothered with the rest Constitutional doctrine is properly ever-evolving, but that evolution ought not to be shaped by manufactured provenance masquerading as scholarship. Ah, yes. The living constitution. Which is like a living contract between your mortgage company and you. I know we agreed on 6.5%, but the contract is living so now it's 19.4% and you're required to clean our local branch office. The funny...

In a move that would amaze David Copperfield

Any references to a "collective right" on the Brady Campaign's web site are disappearing. The Brady Campaign, including all of its employees, are sick people and compulsive liars. The problem is they'll continue to peddle their lies even when the whole world can see them for the charlatans they are. I'm glad that us gun bloggers are there to shine the spotlight on them, though.

The ever changing battle lines

Remember, Heller was a call to battle, not a victory song. This kind of thinking illustrates what we're going to be up against. Because the case before the court arose from the District of Columbia and thus involved only federal law, the court did not resolve the important question of whether the Second Amendment's protections apply to limit state and local laws. Benna Ruth Solomon, a lawyer for the city of Chicago, said there is, for now at least, no doubt about the proper answer to that question. "As we sit here today," Solomon said, "this decision does not...

When it rains, it pours

A lawsuit against Chicago. Like I said, now is not the time to relax. We won a big battle, but the war is going to stretch on for a long time. I worry that the Heller verdict will lull gun owners into a false sense of safety when the anti's are already picking apart the ruling and focusing on 3 to 4 words to try to sneak in their bigotry. Although there are plenty of battles ahead, I'm feeling pretty damn good about our chances if we stick together and keep it up.

This has been my experience with them, as well

Greg wrote the Division of Licensing at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services concerning reciprocity with South Carolina on concealed permits. Don't ask me why the Agriculture guys handle gun permits because I don't know. Just like my experience with that division, Greg had a rather pleasant exchange. When my concealed permit was taking too long, I ended up getting in contact with the department. The gentleman I spoke with explained, in lengthy detail why things were set up the way they were. The Commissioner, Charles Bronson, is an avid 2nd Amendment supporter and apparently uses a Wildey...

Paul Hemlke responds to the SCOTUS Heller ruling

The Battle Cry

Just a reminder - The Heller (Peace Be Upon Him) decision is not the call of victory, but a call to battle. The anti-forces will be doubling down now to find loopholes in phrases such as "dangerous or unusual" or "self defense in the home". They can not easily win in a full frontal attack, but be prepared for the whole 1,000 paper-cuts thing. Now is not the time to relax. Enjoy your day, hit the range, buy some ammo or a new gun, but get ready for the upcoming battles. The will be small, but numerous. And we'll be...

Cleaning tips from a law abiding gun owner

The other day I cleaned a few firearms, something I do as a law abiding gun owner. One of the first things I do is check to ensure the firearms are unloaded before I pull them apart. In fact, even though I remove the ammunition and magazine from the Glock and put it well outside of the cleaning area, I still check the chamber each and every time I need to pull the trigger to dry fire. When dealing with a shot gun, I remove all the shells and place them in another room, then each time I'm required to...

Old Heller

Or, it's getting old waiting on this. I'm betting it won't be today, because if it were today then my nerves could take a break and I never get the good breaks.

Law-abiding gun owner - Me edition

Went to pick up ice cream for the Mrs. who wasn't feeling too well last night. I was armed as usual, but the scent of ice cream masked the Hoppe's #9. Lady in front of me jumped the line to get her brood dipped cones even though I had clearly been waiting longer than she had. Interestingly enough, my Glock sustained a massive failure and did not jump out of the holster into my hand thus allowing me to spray bullets all through said lady's rather plump form. That's the problem with being a law-abiding gun owner, you don't ever...

Imagine that!

I write a few witty and insightful posts over the past few days and traffic goes through the roof. Too hard. Time to slack off again.

Time to admit I was totally wrong

I don't like to do this, but as I prefer to seek the truth, sometimes I just have to swallow my pride and admit that I have been mistaken on something. I have always contended that the anti-gunners attempted to anthropomorphize inanimate objects as a way to demonize guns, somehow make the gun itself seem like an evil entity with a soul of its own. I've always considered this hogwash, and that there had never been a single instance of a firearm murdering a human of its own volition. Then I read this Gun pointed at three teens accused...

Hoppe's #9 - Not just for breakfast anymore!

So, being that my pistol still reeks of solvent, I decided to test the rust removing abilities of Hoppe's #9 out on the reloading bench. My Wilson trimmer had started to show a bit of rust in places, and the Hoppe's & a wire brush cut through it like it was nothing more than dust. Now the trimmer, the calipers, the dies, and several rusting parts on the press are shiny and new looking. I gave them all a nice coat of oil to help keep that look for a while. And of course, I smell like I just showered...

Failure to comprehend

Not that it should come as any surprise, but the Brady Campaign to Lie Through Their Teeth can't seem to understand a basic concept, nor can they be bothered to quote us correctly. In their latest post (one not involving dead children, which might explain the more bitter than usual tone of voice. I mean, it's got to be upsetting when you can't parade around the corpse of a preschooler and your donations drop), some idiot gets tipsy and carries into a bar. However, Duluth defense attorney Richard Holmstrom, who is representing Gradishar on the charge, said his client...

I wonder if this counts as printing?

So, the wife and crumb-snatchers are out for the evening, and being that I'm on call I couldn't be that far away from a computer, I got to skip out on the event. Instead of having free time, I sprayed the house for bugs, mowed the front yard (what's left of it... dammit), moved all the furniture, and cleaned some firearms. Usually, I have a bad habit of breaking down the firearm between shots and cleaning them, but oddly I hadn't cleaned the Glock in quite some time. So now, you could perform open heart surgery on the damned thing....

Does this count as an AOW?

This sawed-off shotgun was found in one of the vehicles at a party bust by the "Party Patrol." The "Party Patrol" is manned by King Country Sheriff's deputies and other local police agencies that crack down on underage parties to discourage teens from getting drunk and driving. [link] Um.

Giving the Brady Campaign my full support

This may come as a shock to many of you, but after years and years of stories of unnecessary and needless violence, I've finally changed my stance. Too many lives have been lost for me to continue to believe in some mythical right to own things that are devastating our children and our communities. I hope you will all open your minds and realize why I made the choice that I did. So, without further adieu, please welcome my full support and membership into The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gnu Violence History On March 30th, 1981, John Hinckley Jr....

The Salt Lake PSH

Poor Rebecca doesn't get us gun nuts My 20-month-old nephew loves Elmo and Dora. He also has started making explosion and gunfire noises. I get the inevitability of little boys' fascination for guns. What I can't figure out are the men and sometimes women who don't grow out of the gun-crazy stage of childhood, who need to have a handgun on their hips at all times, who need their neighbors to notice. What I don't get is why Rebecca worries about people who have guns who are of no threat to her. I'd say she's...

A new twist on the common 'she was a good kid' shtick

Notice how every parent of someone shot or killed by the police for doing something blatently illegal always says the same thing like how good their kid normally was and whatever it was they were doing that caused them to get shot was not normal? This parent takes the cake. Her daughter wasn't holding a rifle, but rather a puppy. I'd quote it, but I can't afford the AP's rates. Update: Bonus! Here's the real story the AP stole. But that's not the story from Jennings' mother, Patricia Jennings. She said her daughter had gone to the market with...

The Brady Campaign and pedophilia

As everyone knows, the Brady Campaign is an anti-gun organization and there is a horrible trend of pedophilia in the United States. In fact, today, the Brady Campaign's own Paul Helmke was in a private meeting while busts were being made on child pornographers. Not that the Brady Campaign has anything to do with diddling children (at least, not that I know of). Just like someone getting busted for narcotics and having a CCW permit has nothing to do with CCW holders. But, the Brady Campaign, who hasn't gotten caught sleeping with underage boys & girls, nor have had any...

Voting reminder

Just a friendly reminder, even though I’m on Vacation to go to ParaUSA and vote for Sharp as a Marble to go to Blackwater and train with Todd Jarrett. if you vote, you can enter yourself to win the coveted 11th spot on the range! And don't vote for this guy. He steals copy without paying like the AP.

Don't try to think too hard on this one

Cuz it'll make your brain hurt The District’s handgun ban is a reasonable and constitutional restriction because handguns are less effective than other firearms for self-defense. Although they are designed to be more lethal than other firearms, handguns are smaller and harder to shoot accurately. Daniel G.

Now THAT's a wedding

DoubleTapper talks about his recent attendance to a wedding As soon as I got inside, the groom's brother, a neighbor of mine, asked me if I would mind holding onto his M4 for the evening. Don't they know that bringing weapons to a wedding will inadvertently lead someone to slaughter the bridal party over who gets the biggest piece of the wedding cake? "OW!" "What's wrong?" "You threw rice in my eye! DIE!!!!! *BAM* *BAM*" My kind of wedding!

Pre-PSH

Bruce asks a decent question. I'd posit that his percentages are too high, though.

I guess it depends on your definition of "rob"

Because this guy swears it's not what he was doing TAMPA - Anthony Morales asked three people for money, and when they refused, he pulled out a knife and tried to stab them, Tampa police say. He wasn't trying to rob them – he was just angry because they didn't give him money, an arrest affidavit said. That's one way to cut down on crime. Don't call it "robbery", but rather "misunderstood anger management issues".

I also went to the range. I took the Ultimate Cliploader on its maiden voyage and oddly, it works better with the Remington Thunderbolts than it does the Golden Bullets. It works fine with both, but it tends to take a little more "pumping" with the GB's. No big deal. It definitely helped me shoot a hell of a lot more ammo. Had it...

Lower gas prices? Not gonna happen

I've heard quite a few economists say that the price of oil is going to drop eventually because it's a bubble of some sort. Now, I'm not an economist, nor do I play one on the Interwebs, but give me a break. That's simply not going to happen. Ever. Why? Because it's been proven that people will pay $4 a gallon for gas. If they had raised the prices and people suddenly stopped buying fuel at a greater rate than the added difference in price gained the oil companies, then the prices would have come down back to the point...

The battle was lost before it was begun

Paul Helmke, blood dancer extraordinaire, realizes his campaign of lies hasn't worked as well as he'd hoped. "We've lost the battle on what the Second Amendment means," campaign president Paul Helmke told ABC News. "Seventy-five percent of the public thinks it's an individual right. Why are we arguing a theory anymore? We are concerned about what we can do practically." You lost the battle because there's no question what it means and there never has been. You and your death-loving cohorts tried to get people to believe up is down, left is right, Garth is Brooks, but reality doesn't...

The sad thing about this video is that it does illustrate, quite stupidly in my opinion, a few myths of guns that have been propagated by Hollywood and the entertainment industry.

Actually, the answer is deceptively simple

The Brady Campaign for Rolling In The Blood Of Downed Officers asks a simple question. What remains left to discover is whether Berryman’s history of domestic violence had ever been adjudicated. If so, it should have been in the Brady criminal background check system, and he should have been denied legal purchase of a firearm. Who put the gun in Berryman’s hand? Easy. Berryman did. Berryman picked up the firearm. It was Berryman's finger that pulled the trigger. It was Berryman who made each and every decision that lead up to this horrific event. And for that, the...

Because anti-gun bigotry isn't an exclusively left leaning trait I find myself beginning to question why anyone really needs to own a gun at this point. Are we a culture based on fear? Are we a culture where rampant distrust, intolerance and hatred of our fellow man leads us to feel that we need to arm ourselves and isolate ourselves?

It's a TinyURL so they won't get Google-Fu with it). You see, they're not a news organization, they're an anti-gun organization. They're not repeating this tale to inform or to educate, they're doing it as a way of saying "See? People die when they use guns!". It's tacky, but...
