by Super_Cat on July 18, 2019**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted by Super_Cat** Oh Mr. Bad Guy, can you wait here for a sec while I go find my keys to my DOJ-approved lockbox so that I may grab my gun to defend myself against you? Thanks! Via Breitbart. The San Diego City Council voted six to two Monday for an ordinance saying gun owners must lock up their firearms or disable them in the home.

Opponents of the ordinance pointed out that locking up a gun or...

Parkland School Massacre Panel Recommends Arming Teachers
by Tammy on December 13, 2018This is basic common sense that will save lives. It’s been awful that we are so behind being able to implement this security solution because liberals see gun control as an issue with which they can manipulate people and use for political advantage. Congratulations to this commission for being honest and coming to the right and fair conclusion. Via HuffPo/AP. The panel investigating the Florida high school massacre recommended Wednesday that teachers who volunteer and undergo extensive background checks and training be allowed to carry concealed guns on campus to stop future shootings. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission voted 13-1 to recommend the Legislature allow the arming of teachers, saying it’s not enough to have one...

DOJ to Release ‘Fast & Furious’ Documents Withheld by Eric Holder
by Shifra on March 7, 2018Last week, Obama had the audacity to claim, again, that his administration was scandal-free. Yeah. No. And maybe now we can finally get the details of the Obama Administration’s obscene ‘Fast and Furious’ scheme. Via The Hill. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Wednesday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will provide documents to Congress on the Obama-era program dubbed “Fast and Furious” that allowed criminals to purchase guns in Phoenix-based gun shops in order to track them into Mexico. The Justice Department, then run by Eric Holder, declined to provide documents on the program to Congress in 2012 and was held in contempt of Congress. Today’s decision ends six years of litigation with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee....

Video Flashback) ‘Broward Coward’ Sheriff: Even If You Have Gun, Run… and Hide
by Shifra on February 27, 2018What exactly is the point of carrying a concealed gun, if you are supposed to run away? Sounds like he is advocating for a good pair of Nikes. Is this what he instructs his deputies to do? HT @RepThomasMassie: How does he teach his deputies to respond to an active shooter scenario? pic.twitter.com/wUppZMIPNr — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) February 24, 2018 Broward County sheriff received at least 45 calls about Florida shooter’s family, not 23: Report

Record High: More Than 200K Gun Background Check Requests on Black Friday
by Tammy on November 26, 2017Good news, and an indication Americans are still determined to remain free. Via Newsmax. On Black Friday, the FBI was flooded with the hightest number of background checks in one day for gun purchases. There were 203,086 requests received by the bureau’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System, USA Today reported. The previous single-day records, both on Black Friday, were 185,713 last year and 185,345 in 2015. Gun checks are not a measure of the actual number of guns sold. Multiple firearms can be purchased in a single transaction by the same buyer.

Stephen Colbert’s Case for Gun Control Fails in Epic Backfire
by Shifra on November 12, 2017Colbert inadvertently just proved the case against gun control…and for building The Wall. Via Washington Times. In a monologue lamenting the lack of political action in response to mass shootings, late-night host Stephen Colbert unwittingly made the case for more expansive gun ownership…. “Not just now, but at any time in human history,” he continued. “Five thousand years ago, if your village had a tiger coming into it every day and was eating people, you wouldn’t do nothing. You would move the village, you would build a fence or you would kill the tiger. You wouldn’t say, ‘Well, I guess, you know, someone’s going to get eaten every day, because the price of liberty is tigers.’ You’d take some action.”…....

NRA Calls for ATF Review of Bump Stocks, New Regulations After Las Vegas Shooting
by Tammy on October 5, 2017It’s understandable considering the roll this add-on played in the Las Vegas massacre, but banning it will not change the foundational problem involved with mass violence– the human condition. But it does give some people the impression that banning guns, or parts related to them, will solve the issue, eliminating any discussion about the actual problems. For some background, here are details about what bump stocks are. But here we go. Via Fox News. The National Rifle Association, in its first statement on the Las Vegas shooting and in a rare break from its traditional opposition to gun-related regulations, called Thursday for a federal review of so-called bump stocks and suggested new rules might be needed for the device apparently...

Hero Homeowner Holds Escaped Georgia Inmates at Gunpoint Until Arrests
by Tammy on June 16, 2017More details on the arrests of these scumbags who killed two guards in their escape. Never doubt, this nation remains safer because law-abiding Americans are armed. Via Fox News. A Tennessee homeowner held two escaped inmates wanted in the killing of two prison guards at gunpoint Thursday until authorities arrived and made the arrests. Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Bill Miller said late Thursday that the homeowner caught Donnie Rowe and Ricky Dubose trying to steal his vehicle.

Fast & Furious Scandal: Suspect in Brian Terry’s Murder Arrested in Mexico
by Tammy on April 12, 2017Border Patrol agent Brian Terry Finally. Via Fox News. The cartel member suspected of shooting and killing Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010 with a gun supplied by the U.S. government [awful that this sentence even exists and *no one* from the Obama administration was held to account, least of all this disaster’s mastermind, Eric Holder] was arrested in Mexico Wednesday, senior law enforcement, Border Patrol, and congressional sources told Fox News. The suspect, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes, was apprehended by a joint U.S.-Mexico law enforcement task force that included the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC). A $250,000 reward had been sought for information leading to the arrest of Osorio-Arellanes, who was captured at...

MSNBC Journalist: NY/NJ ‘Lucky’ Terrorist Used Bombs… Rather Than Guns
by Shifra on September 20, 2016There are some people in Boston who might quibble with Hayes’ use of “lucky.” And, no mention of how lucky the St. Cloud Minnesota mall shoppers were, because a gun-toting citizen took down the terrorist-stabber. Via Washington Times. MSNBC journalist Chris Hayes showed gratitude on Monday that suspected terrorists responsible for bombings in New York and New Jersey over the weekend used bombs instead of guns. Twitter users were stunned on Monday when Mr. Hayes responded to the arrest of suspected terrorist Ahmad Khan Rahami in Linden, New Jersey. The “All In With Chris Hayes” host said 29 people injured in Saturday’s blast in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood were “lucky” that a pressure-cooker bomb was used as an improvised explosive...

Gun Sales On Track To Set Another Record
by Tammy on September 6, 2016Just another reminder that we take the Constitution, and our freedom, seriously. Via CNN. Guns are selling at unprecedented levels this summer, which means 2016 is well on its way to breaking the all-time record for background checks. Background checks conducted by the FBI totaled 1,853,815 in August 2016, a 6% increase from August 2015. That’s the most checks ever in the month of August since the FBI started conducting background checks in 1998. In fact, every monthly tally this year has hit an all-time high, meaning that 2016 is on track to be the record year for background checks and, by proxy, gun sales. Background checks don’t correlate directly to gun sales, but do serve as an important indicator...

Concealed Carrier Saves Cop Pinned Down By Meth Addict
by Tammy on July 31, 2016Nice story for a nice Sunday. Via Federalist. Last year, an Ohio man with a concealed carry permit saved police officer Michael Wheeler’s life from the hands of a meth addict. On Wednesday, Wheeler, who serves in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, awarded his hero the city’s Citizen Award of Valor, Inside Edition reports. The assailant, who later admitted to authorities he had been strung out on meth for several days, had been sleeping on a woman’s porch without permission when Wheeler confronted him. He attacked Wheeler, pinning him to the ground, and began grabbing at his belt in an attempt to get the officer’s gun. Wheeler, whose shoulder microphone was ripped off during the confrontation, was unable to call for backup....

NY Rag, Er, Mag: NRA Endangers Women by Promoting Armed Self Defense
by Shifra on July 18, 2016Lib logic… Via Breitbart. On July 13 NY Mag suggested the NRA’s promotion of armed self-defense for women actually endangers women. They suggest that more women will die during an attack if women possess firearms. This paradigm is the result of a long-held leftist theory that men will simply take the woman’s gun and use it against her. NY Mag points to “research” by the American Journal of Public Health, which says: When an abusive partner has access to a gun, even if the gun belongs to their victim, the situation is more likely to turn deadly: “The presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increases the risk of homicide for women by 500 percent,” and, “more than half...

Anti-Gun Ohio Professor: Shoot Up NRA Headquarters, Leave No Survivors
by Shifra on July 10, 2016If an anti-abortion professor had posted a rant about storming Planned Parenthood headquarters to kill everyone, it would have been all over the news, and the left would be screaming the story from the rooftops. Via Fox News. An Ohio professor is reportedly under investigation for making a Facebook post calling for anti-gun activists to “storm the NRA headquarters” and “make sure there are no survivors.” James Pearce, an adjunct professor at Southern State Community College in Hillsboro, wrote the post on June 13, the day after the terrorist mass shooting attack in Orlando. “Look, there’s only one solution,” Pearce wrote. “A bunch of us anti-gun types are going to have to arm ourselves, storm the NRA headquarters in Fairfax,...
