Now, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association is warning them that there will be no “Spring Fling” if they do NOT enact the ordinance. From WTVF 5 (TN): If Murfreesboro decides to allow guns in parks it could cost the city the annual Spring Fling event and the $3.5 million it brings in from tourism. The executive director of TSSAA said there is no way they would allow the week-long high school sport state tournaments to be played at a park where guns are…

Congressional travel expenditures have risen by 50 percent in two years
2 Jul 2009 | 6:42 amThere hae been a huge increase in other things such as franking privileges over the last two years as well. From the WSJ:Hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas in 2008 at a cost of about $13 million. That's a 50% jump since Democrats took control of Congress two years ago.The cost of so-called congressional delegations, known among lawmakers as "codels," has risen nearly 70% since 2005, when an influence-peddling scandal led to a ban on travel funded by lobbyists, according to the data. . . . -

Obama opposes tort reform in health care
1 Jul 2009 | 3:42 amFrom the Washington Times:President Obama can't fix health care without taking on trial lawyers. David Axelrod, the president's chief strategist, warned about "punishing health care costs" again on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "That's something that we have to deal with," he said. In a June 15 speech to the American Medical Association, Mr. Obama complained about how excessive defensive medicine drives up costs. This is a regular theme in White House talking points.We agree there's a problem, but at heart and by training, Mr. Obama is a lawyer. That's why he won't address one major cause of… -

The New York Times Errs on Guns and Mexico
29 Jun 2009 | 2:22 pmWith its editorial "Death and American Guns in Mexico" on June 25, The Times misinformed its readers about a host of topics: federally licensed firearm retailers, the guns they sell, Mexican gun violence and the tracing of guns used in Mexican drug crimes. The Times’ editorial starts out . . . "Drug-related murders in Mexico doubled last year, to 6,200, as cartels fight for the American addict’s dollar while relying on American gun dealers for their weapons." For The Times to make this sweeping accusation casting federally licensed firearms retailers as the cause of the violence is a real… -
GAO study on Mexican violence promotes misinformation of firearms trafficking
19 Jun 2009 | 12:13 pmThe General Accounting Office (GAO) of the United States has released a study on firearms trafficking and violence in Mexico. The report, which NSSF is still reviewing, appears to be rife with error. Consider the following claim: “According to U.S. and Mexican government officials, these firearms have been increasingly more powerful and lethal in recent years. For example, many of these firearms are high-caliber and high-powered, such as AK and AR-15 type semiautomatic rifles.” These rifles, of course, are no more “powerful” or “lethal” than any other lawful rifle, and they fire… -
Reaching Out to Outdoor Media
10 Jun 2009 | 7:21 amThe writers, editors, publishers and TV/radio hosts that promote hunting and target shooting, and otherwise help publicize the image of responsible gun owners, remain critical to the future of our sports. That's why NSSF makes it a point during the year to attend the major outdoor media conferences of such organizations as the venerable Outdoor Writers Association of America, the relatively new and growing Professional Outdoor Media Association and the largest regional group, the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association, among others. These annual conferences provide an… -

A call for ATF reform
2 Jul 2009 | 5:58 amFrom Congressman Zack Space: Citing the vital need to protect Americans from overzealous federal agents, Congressman Zack Space (OH-18) today issued a challenge to those Members of Congress who supported his Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) reform legislation, but have yet to sign on this Congress. “This legislation is far too important to languish due to cold feet,” Space said. “Well-intentioned, law-abiding citizens are being unfairly targeted by federal agents who should be more concerned about the Second Amendment than their next promotion.”

Science!
1 Jul 2009 | 11:21 pmDan made a statement a few days ago, saying that it seemed to him that his revolvers made more noise than his autoloaders. I said that I couldn't say for sure one way or another, because I didn't own a revolver that could use ammo for an autoloader, and none of my autoloaders would work with the ammo from my revolvers. Since I couldn't compare one specific caliber fired from both a revolver and auto, there was no way to tell. So Dan decided to go all scientifical on us. He borrowed some equipment from work to measure the noise produced when a gun is fired, and he owns both a revolver and an… -
My Gaming Philosophy
1 Jul 2009 | 10:40 pmI have mentioned before that my main hobby is running role playing games, and that many people seem to think that I do a pretty good job. One of the reasons why the players have so much fun is that I set up a mystery that they can not only solve, but also take part in. The villains of the story always have an agenda of some kind, usually a magical ritual that will cause untold destruction and misery. The bad guys need to collect special materials for the spell, they need a place to perform their unholy mass, and they have a timetable that they must follow to ensure success. The players are… -

All You Ever Wanted to Know About the Thompson

My favorite is Call of Cthulhu, where magical creatures that are so powerful they can destroy humanity without even noticing lie dreaming in ancient prisons. The players desperately try to keep crazed cultists and horrible monsters from bursting the bonds that keep our world sane. It is a dark and grim task, with death and madness waiting at the end of days. Notice that telling stories about battling unkillable monsters is what I do to relax! With my interest in history, I have enjoyed some great success in running the…

Bushmaster ACR coming late this year … maybe
30 Jun 2009 | 1:40 amSean forwarded me an email he received from the Customer Service Manager at Magpul. The Magpul Masada design has been licensed to Bushmaster Firearms and they are handling production and distribution. It’s been renamed the ACR and was officially scheduled for release in the first Quarter of 2009. However, Bushmaster/Remington plans on offering up the ACR for the M4 replacement solicitation. This is necessitating some possible small design changes (barrel life requirements, rail markings, position of full-auto safety, etc.) to meet certain mil-specs along with much more scrutiny in the… -
M4 barrel fell off
30 Jun 2009 | 1:32 am“FREEFALLE7″, a Ranger Instructor, posted the above photo at AR15.com. A student, on arrival at the Swamp phase of Ranger School, showed him his M4 and said “my barrel fell off”. His punishment for not telling an instructor at the Mountain phase (the previous phase) about the broken M4 was to be given a M240, which weights 27 lbs, as a replacement. Keith J came up with a plausible theory of how this happened Salt water in the threads. Steel rusts. Steel in contact with aluminum. Aluminum then oxidizes, reducing the rust to iron dust. Joint remains tight until it is… -

Do we really need Lloyd Garver?
2 Jul 2009 | 2:28 amI've dealt with Lloyd before. He has the standard talking points for a Flat Earther and wonders if we need guns in churches. He should ask Jeanne Assam if she needed hers, I guess. Now, Lloyd writes in a bit of tongue in cheek style (the dude wrote scripts for Frasier!!!!), so much of what he writes should be filtered through that lens. I know I write sarcastically, so that doesn't automatically rate dismissal. Lloyd's logical flaw, however, is that gun = violence. Automatically. There is no difference in protecting your children vs. murdering someone for their credit cards. A gun is just… -

A Must Read!
28 Jun 2009 | 4:13 pmTHE BELGIAN CORPORAL By Neal Knox In the summer of 1955, I was a young Texas National Guard sergeant on active duty at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. A corporal in my squad was a Belgian-American named Charles DeNaer. An old man as far as most of us were concerned, being well over thirty, Charley commanded a certain amount of our respect, for not only was he older than the rest of us, he had lived in Belgium when the Germans rolled across the low countries by-passing the Maginot Line on their way into France. He had seen war. One soft Oklahoma afternoon, sitting on a bunk in the half-light of an old… -

28 Jun 2009 | 3:53 pmInteresting, but wouldn’t loaded guns be more effective against violent crime? LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A gun-toting Kentucky pastor says it’s OK to pack heat at church — at least for one day. Ken Pagano asked his flock to bring their unloaded handguns — in holsters — to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a celebration of the Second Amendment. When the event got under way a little after 5 p.m. Saturday, about 200 people — many carrying small firearms — sat in the Pentecostal church sanctuary. “We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent… -

NFA trust: Who should be the Settlor / Grantor and why?
23 Jun 2009 | 4:57 amThere are several steps in designing a NFA trust, the first consideration is to determine who should be the Settlor (or Grantor). This may change depending on who the beneficiary is, but generally the settlor is the person who contributes the property to the trust and is the current beneficiary of the property. The Settlor is not an authorized user, but is the one that will receive the benefit of the property. To determine the best choice for the settlor, we often ask our clients if they are married, do you they have adult children, and who they want to receive the items after your death. -

I know what happens when you assume…..The mag would jam every 3 rounds or so….I put in a mil spec mag and it feed flawlessly…The question is, did I get faulty mags or will they not feed in the AR platform? I have a Stag 2TL that was clean and I generally run it wet. Thanks for the input….. -
Dead horse Y/N
2 Jul 2009 | 9:54 amSeveral thoughts arise when I read this in today e mail from "GOPUSA" were they to succeed what would happen next aside from the riots that is, would this nullify the election, or just his post in office, would it void everything he has done since his oath of office.... lots of Hummer's here... Quote: From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep We are in court, AGAIN, demanding that Barack Obama PROVE that he is a natural-born citizen... BUT THE WHITE HOUSE JUST LAUGHS AT THIS CONSTITUTIONALLY BASED REQUEST! Don't let Barack Hussein Obama laugh off the requirement of the United States…

Ordinary People: Siege Mentality
29 Jun 2009 | 8:13 amBullet Counter Points’ “Ordinary People” series examines the gun lobby’s frequent claim that gun owners—and concealed carry permit holders—are the most law-abiding citizens in our country. We grant that this is probably true in many cases, but argue that gun owners are human beings—subject to the same issues of stress, depression, substance abuse, and mental illness; which can sometimes lead to criminal behavior and tragedy.Today we relate the story of another “ordinary person.”On June 8 in Kittery, Maine, 60 year-old Michael Flaherty called relatives to say “goodbye”… -
The Myth of the "Black Market"
22 Jun 2009 | 7:17 amThe cities of Washington, D.C. and Chicago have been under siege in recent months by the National Rifle Association (NRA), which is attempting to overturn gun laws in both jurisdictions.The NRA’s battle with Chicago has been in the courts, where the gun lobby is seeking to have the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment ruling in the case of D.C. V. Heller incorporated at the state level. This would have the practical effort of repealing Chicago’s handgun ban. After the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the NRA’s lawsuit, it appears headed to the Supreme Court on appeal.D.C. v. Heller,… -
“Those types of weapons ... They’re pretty powerful.”
15 Jun 2009 | 7:27 amThe National Rifle Association (NRA) has long claimed that assault weapons are no more dangerous than any other type of rifle, stating: “In the mid-1980s, gun control groups invented the slang term ‘assault weapon’ and applied it to certain semi-automatic firearms which, though designed for civilian use, look like modern fully-automatic assault rifles used by the military.” That view contrasts sharply with that of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), which apparently speaks in slang: “Assault weapons were designed for rapid fire, close quarter shooting at… -
Anarchy and Vigilantism
8 Jun 2009 | 6:36 amOn May 31, Americans across the country were shocked to learn that Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider, had been shot and killed in the foyer of Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas. Just three hours after the shooting, authorities apprehended a suspect—Scott P. Roeder of Merriam, Kansas—on Interstate 35.Initial reporting on the case linked the murder to Roeder’s extensive history as a pro-life activist. One Kansas City pro-life protestor, Regina Dinwiddie, commented that Roeder, “believed in justifiable homicide. I know he very strongly believed that abortion was murder… -

In a Split Second
29 Jun 2009 | 10:55 amI am constantly amazed at the number of people who blithely assume that their possession of a handgun—no matter what their level of training—would enable them to prevent or stop a gun-related crime without doing collateral damage. Such an assumption is often in direct contrast to the experience of well-trained, armed law enforcement officials.On June 10, Bill Crummett, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), witnessed an armed crime unfolding as his car was stopped at a traffic light near the Capitol in Washington, D.C. As reported by Clarence Williams… -
The Times on the Times
22 Jun 2009 | 7:56 amOn the west coast, Steve Lopez of the Los Angeles Times looked at a business that’s booming in tough economic times and wondered, “What’s Triggering Gun Sales?. Lopez visited several gun dealerships in the Los Angeles area to find out. Three main reasons were put forward for gun purchases. First is the much ballyhooed fear promoted by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that President Obama is going to take away all guns. One dealer polished off the gun lobby’s old chestnut: "There are few things that stand between the people and tyranny. Once private gun ownership is eliminated,… -
Two Horrifying Days
15 Jun 2009 | 8:22 amOne horrifying day is seared in my memory—the day in 1962 I spent touring the remains of Auschwitz with a friend who had lost his wife, children and parents in that unspeakable death camp. I can not express the sense of evil that permeated those grounds. I was made acutely aware of the horror that can be unleashed by organized and armed hate groups.The memory was brought vividly back to life by the tragic shooting at the U.S. Holocaust museum here in Washington, D.C. The perpetrator of the shooting left a note, “You want my weapons—this is how you’ll get them. The Holocaust is a… -
Sound the Battle Cry of Radicalism
8 Jun 2009 | 7:23 amAt my age I probably should not be—but constantly am—amazed at the things some in the pro-gun lobby will say in order to get a mention in the news. In a desperate attempt to fire-up the faithful, groups like Gun Owners of America (GOA) have accused Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor of being “an anti-gun radical” for joining a Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit opinion earlier this year that refused to incorporate the U.S. Supreme Court’s D.C. v. Heller decision on the Second Amendment at the state level.In their shrill statement, the group charged that “Sotomayor, a… -
The Power of Doubt
1 Jun 2009 | 7:21 amRecently, the National Rifle Association (NRA) held its annual convention in Phoenix, and I chanced upon an interesting quote from a Remington employee who ran a booth at the gun expo there. Speaking about the NRA’s view on President Obama, he said, “We have our doubts and doubt is that makes this organization thrive.”Just three days later, NRA Board Member Ted Nugent published an editorial in the Waco Tribune that seemed to confirm this theory by elevating doubt (or “fear,” if you prefer) to a new level.“Water is essential to life … A certain lunatic fringe is always conspiring…
