D.C. Gives Up On Ban On Carrying Guns in Public
by Tammy on April 2, 2015Heh. Each step matters but it’s not over yet. The restrictions are still ridiculous. Via the Washington Times. Washington, D.C., will drop its appeal of a federal court ruling that overturned the city’s ban on carrying handguns in public, Attorney General Karl Racine announced Wednesday. City attorneys will instead focus on defending concealed-carry laws adopted by legislators in the months after U.S. District Court Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. declared the ban was unconstitutional. “We need to focus our energies not on litigating old laws, but defending new ones that our leaders enacted in good faith to comply with court rulings while still protecting public safety,” Mr. Racine said. Up until Judge Scullin’s ruling in July, D.C. residents could only...

POTUS: In Some ‘Hoods, It’s Easier To Buy A Gun Than A Vegetable
by Shifra on March 9, 2015Pic h/t Breitbart.com Memo to POTUS: Please stick to your TOTUS. Because when you go off-script, you sound sort-of, well…off-the-wall. Memo to readers: Strawman alert — Gun-toting right-wingers want guns in kindergartens, and machine guns in bars! Via Campus Reform: Obama: It’s easier to buy a firearm than a book or vegetables It’s easier to buy a gun than a book or fresh vegetables in some neighborhoods, according to President Obama who spoke at a townhall at Benedict College on Friday…. “As long as you can go in some neighborhoods and it is easier for you to buy a firearm than it is for you to buy a book, there are neighborhoods where it is easier for you to buy...

Piers Morgan Is *Shocked* At POTUS Pretend-Gun Finger-Pointing!
by Shifra on February 16, 2015Poor Piers. He dreams of a totally gun-free USA, just like his beloved UK. And shockingly, POTUS pretends to shoot by pointing his finger at the mirror. So please, do not tell Piers about the five year old boy who was suspended from school for eating a breakfast pop tart and shaping it to look like a gun. Piers might have a nervous breakdown. Via Daily Caller: Piers Morgan Freaks Out After President Obama Points Finger Like A Gun President Barack Obama faced a fair share of criticism for his recent Buzzfeed video, which some called “tone deaf,” but others defended. But former CNN host Piers Morgan had a rather, uh, unique take on the video…. President Obama pretends to...

Retired Cop Gets Insomnia Treatment, NY State Confiscates His Guns, He Sues
by Tammy on January 4, 2015Image via Maksim Good for him. These laws are just excuses to confiscate as many firearms as possible; there’s no real interest by liberals in looking at each case individually, and in this case it’s once again the incompetence of the bloated bureaucracy that targets someone for no reason. Via Fox News. A decorated retired New York cop who served in the U.S. Navy is challenging New York’s tough new SAFE Act gun control law, claiming in a lawsuit that his guns were confiscated after he was mistakenly diagnosed as mentally unstable after he sought treatment for a sleeping problem. Donald Montgomery’s lawsuit contends that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other state officials violated his Second Amendment rights when his guns...

LA Annual ‘Gun Melt’ Event Destroys 5000 Firearms
by Isaac T on August 15, 2014**Bumped up from TAM Wire. Posted by Isaac T** My immediate reaction was to compare the melting down of 5000 firearms to a book burning, but that’s not quite accurate. This is a Burnt Offering to the liberal gods. Via Dan Zimmerman: thetruthaboutguns.com — LA Melts Down 5000 Firarms to Build Roads The next time you’re stuck in traffic on an LA freeway, think for a moment about what’s underneath you. That concrete you’re not rolling on could be supported by the remnants of confiscated and turned-in boomsticks. “Nearly 5,000 handguns, rifles and other weapons were destroyed Wednesday as part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s 21st annual Gun Melt event, authorities said…Interim Los Angeles County Sheriff John Scott...

Obama Praises Australia’s Gun Confiscation
by Tammy on June 10, 2014The compulsion to confess. None of us should be surprised. The only way the left can truly take over everything is to disarm the citizen. This is not unique; every tyranny in the world first disarmed people. They will, and are, trying it here. Via NRO. Speaking to users of the blogging platform Tumblr, President Obama today praised Australia’s confiscation of firearms. Obama said: Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no...

Bloomberg Combining All His Anti-Gun Groups To Target NRA
by Tammy on April 16, 2014And he’s spending $50 million to do it. I cringe when I think of how many lives $50 million could save if actually devoted to something that would improve people’s lives. Instead, this 50 million is devoted to making people less safe by working to ensure only bad guys have access to firearms. After all, that’s what all so-called gun-control does, it guarantees a more difficult time for the law-abiding citizen to acquire and own (and use) a gun. With everything we know about the importance of firearms and how they keep people safe, I’m still perplexed with this obsession of Bloomberg’s. Obviously we will make sure he fails, but again, what a waste of $50 million. Via NY Times....

Dueling Shotguns in Texas Politics: Wendy Davis vs. Greg Abbott
by Alain41 on February 2, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain41** Texas politics. Greg Abbott was on the October 2013 cover of Texas Monthly magazine with a shotgun, so now Democrats are circulating a pic of Wendy Davis posing with Ann Richards’ shotgun that Ann’s daughter presented to her. Supposed to show continuity from last Democrat woman Governor, Richards, to the presumptive next one. Republicans are comparing pic to Dukakis’ tank pic. DailyKos calls that mudslinging.

$15,000 German WW2 Rifle Dropped Off At A Gun Buyback
by Tammy on December 17, 2013As an advocate of the 2nd Amendment and firearm owner, I’m also all for these buyback programs. If people want to get a gift card for their gun, that’s up to them. But for crying out loud, if you’re going to do that, please check to make sure you’re not handing over a firearm that’s historical and valuable. Just sayin’ Via Laist. The LAPD’s gun buyback events are always good for seeing what types of crazy weapons people drop off. This weekend’s special holiday edition was not a disappointment: apparently someone dropped off an assault rifle used by the Nazis in World War 2. Even Chief Charlie Beck was in awe of the weapon, calling it “The granddaddy of all...

Confiscation Begins in NYC: “Immediately Surrender Rifle and/or Shotgun…”
by Tammy on December 5, 2013With universal registration and bizarre regulations, we’ve always known confiscation is the ultimate goal, and now it’s happening in New York. Or as Obama would say, If you like your gun, you can keep your gun. The good news is, you can still move out of Manhattan. I’m sure someday that will also be prohibited. NYPD cracks down on long guns that hold more than five rounds The New York City Police Department is taking aim at owners of shotguns and rifles capable of holding more than five rounds, demanding such guns be surrendered, altered or taken out of the city. The demand came in the form of some 500 letters mailed out to owners of registered long guns that...

EPA Regs Cause Last U.S. Smelter to Close, Ammo Price Surge Expected
by TheGreenHornet on December 3, 2013**Promoted from the Tam Wire. Posted by TheGreenHornet** Do we make anything in this country anymore? If they can’t get the guns, they will get the ammo. Breitbart: Ammo Price Surge Expected As EPA Regulations Close Lead Smelter Because of heightened EPA regulations, Doe Run Company’s Herculaneum lead smelter in Herculaneum, Missouri—the last U.S. smelter of its kind—is closing its doors on December 31, 2013…. Herculaneum’s product is the type of lead used to make components for traditional lead ammunition, and once the smelter closes, such lead and/or ammunition components will have to be imported into the U.S. Ammunition prices are expected to rise, reflecting import costs….

WSJ Taranto’s Overview of How the Anti-Gun Nuts Are Reacting to the Navy Yard Shooting
by Maynard on September 19, 2013**A Post by Maynard** The article gives you a sense of the drift. Seems the gun grabbers are tired and resigned. I’ll highlight a couple of details: 1) About the gun-grabbing hypocrite Dianne Feinstein (the only person ever to get a concealed carry permit in San Francisco): The Daily Caller reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who wasted no time in trying to revive the antigun effort Monday, is reduced to complaining about pestiferous citizens: “I’m going to have my hair done this morning and there’s somebody outside the salon waiting for me who says, ‘Are you going to try and take our guns away again?’ With, you know, malevolence. It’s that attitude, that, the lack of, I guess,...

Gun-Grabbing Colorado Democrat Defeated in Recall Meltdowns On CNN
by Tammy on September 12, 2013Even the CNN anchor has no patience for her “voter suppression” silliness. This attitude confirm how the Left simply refuses to face reality, virtually on every issue we face, whether it be manipulating their own voter base by lying to them about ObamaCare and economics, or in this instance refusing to acknowledge that betraying your constituents has consequences. These people live in a fantasy world. Now if the GOP would just wake up and realize that their opponents are zombies, we might actually make some progress on the issues that affect all of us. This is also the only way we should be seeing liberals– freaking out on national television about their loss. HT Hot Air, with National Review video....

Obama’s Two ‘New Executive Actions’ on Gun Control
by Tammy on August 29, 2013And Congress keeps letting him do it. If he were challenged at all on anything he’d be less apt to do this. It’s the same theory on the Middle East– Obama does nothing so the bad guys keep acting. Click through for more details. Via Weekly Standard. The White House just announced two new executive measures for gun control. The announcement came to reporters via email. “FACT SHEET: New Executive Actions to Reduce Gun Violence,” the subject of the announcement reads. “Today, the Obama administration announced two new common-sense executive actions to keep the most dangerous firearms out of the wrong hands and ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities.
