Two MORE Detroit thugs put down

Sat, 03/29/2014 - 11:00

I know you’re gonna be saddened to learn that two more of Detroit’s depraved hoodlums are now taking a dirt nap.

This brings the dead thug count – in Detroit alone – to ten so far this year.

(guns.com) A Detroit man fatally shot two suspected burglars on the city’s northwest side while the men were attempting to break into his house around 10:30 a.m on Tuesday.

Upon hearing a noise near the side window, the homeowner grabbed his handgun and went outside to investigate, according to Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody.

The suspects, who were in their 20s, got into an altercation with the homeowner, during which the homeowner, a concealed carry permit holder, drew his gun and fatally shot the two men.

Sgt. Woody told The Detroit News that the details of the shooting have been sent

Michigan approves short-barrelled rifles and shotguns!

Sat, 03/29/2014 - 09:00

Illinois, of course, approved short-barreled rifles at the beginning of 2013.  (Vewy vewy quietly, that is…)

Michigan didn’t need to be quiet about it.  They passed it with pride and their governor signed not only a bill for short-barreled rifles, but also short-barreled shotguns.

God bless Michigan!

 

 

BOO HOO: Gun grabbers worried Yee’s anti-gun bills are dead in California legislature

Sat, 03/29/2014 - 08:00

Let me play you a sour note on my big trombone!

Gun grabbers are worried the gun-trafficking Democrat California State Senator Leland “Guns for me, but not for yee” Yee’s arrest on a host of corruption and gun-running charges will doom his gun control bills.

Gee?  Ya think?

(Breitbart) – Gun control groups working to push further gun control in California worry that state senator Leland Yee’s indictment on arms trafficking “may slow the legislature’s consideration of gun restrictions this year.”

According to AP California News, on March 27 organizers of more legislation said “th

There’s no journalistic skepticism about the motives of those on the left.

Leland Yee, the Kochs, and the Press
There’s no journalistic skepticism about the motives of those on the left.

(National Review) - Leland Yee, a Democratic state senator and candidate for secretary of state in California, has been a longtime champion of gun control. This week he was arrested on numerous charges, including conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and conspiracy to illegally transport firearms. Yee, a prominent foe of assault weapons, allegedly took bribes to set up a meeting between an undercover agent and an international arms dealer to broker the sale of automatic weapons and shoulder-fired missiles. A lengthy FBI affidavit also describes Yee’s ties to a Chinese triad and his desire to help out Islamist militants.

In short, the story makes for what journalists call “good copy.”

And yet, so far no reporter has raised the possibility that

TROUBLESOME: EPA raids brass reclamation company in Montana

Fri, 03/28/2014 - 16:07

Is this using the EPA to harass a company that provides a service to gun owners or is this an employer cavalier with their employees’ safety?

It’s sad to have to speculate like this, but this regime has proven its willingness to use big government against its enemies.

BOZEMAN, Mont – (KTVM) The FBI raided Bozeman based USA Brass Thursday morning. We were tipped off by a viewer who told us federal agents were on scene by 9a.m. Throughout the morning we saw agents from the FBI, EPA Criminal Division, and Bozeman Police come and go from the Bozeman business.

Around 12:30 p.m. Agent Bert Marsden identified himself as the resident agent in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Criminal Division in Montana.  He told NBC Montana agents were expected on scene through the evening, and gave a short statement about the investigation.

“We are investigating alleged violations of

Anti-gunner Leland Yee *was* a tyrant

Fri, 03/28/2014 - 14:21

We often say that gun control advocates are looking to recreate past tyrannies with their efforts to disarm the citizenry and keep them helpless against victimization.

Leland Yee, the rabidly gun-hating Democrat from California was just such a man.

He was just arrested this past week on corruption, bribery and arms trafficking charges.

It’s worse than you might imagine.

Democrat Leland Yee worked to provide arms to islamic terrorists, while working to take arms away from law-abiding Californians.

Democrat Leland Yee offered to provide shoulder-fired missiles to islamist insurgents, while sponsoring and promoting legislation to outlaw America’s favorite rifle.

Democrat Leland Yee worked to arm a Filipino islamic rebel group in their efforts to terrorize the civilian populations and overthrow the democratically elected government there.

He sought to make himself a true tyrant, in the interest of enriching himse

Rauner on Guns: One man’s take

Fri, 03/28/2014 - 00:49

Where is Bruce Rauner on guns?

He’s been pretty elusive, pretty much limiting his comments to praise of his “huntin’ dog”.

Mike Rowe – no, not that Mike Rowe but instead the one from Illinois Carry – posted of an experience he had before the primary with Bruce Rauner over at AR15.com.

Take it for what it’s worth.  GSL’s Don Huskey got absolutely nowhere with Rauner at a Republican event in Effingham, also pre-primary.

Rowe writes he had a little better luck…

A couple of weeks ago, Rauner did a bus stop in my home town.
He was only there for about 30 minutes…This is my brief encounter with him.
He went through the line shaking hands with everyone and I asked him if an Assault Weapons Ban hit Gov. Rauner’s desk what would he do with it…”Veto it”. So I ask if any other anti-gun bills hit his desk, what would Gov. Rauner do with them? “Veto them, we have enough

Something to cheer you up on a dreary Thursday.

Redford, MI (Detroit Free Press) – A Jet’s Pizza delivery driver fired shots at two men who attempted to rob him Saturday night when they posed as customers, Redford police said.

The driver was making a delivery to a residence in the 9900 block of Grayfield when one of the males grabbed him and the other produced a handgun and demanded his money.

Police said the driver, who lawfully possesses a firearm, shot at the suspects, then fled the area and called 911. The suspects also fled the area in a wait

DC LUNACY: Judge convicts man of “attempted possession of ammo” for black powder *projectiles*

Thu, 03/27/2014 - 10:00

 

Emily Miller has the story at the Washington Times.  These people in D.C. don’t have a clue about guns.  They convicted this man for the crime of having black powder bullets (not cartridges, but bullets – the projectile) in his home even though in their magnificent benevolence, local authorities allow residents to have muzzle-loading firearms…

MILLER: Exclusive — Shock verdict — Mark Witaschek guilty of possessing muzzleloader bullets in D.C.

In a surprising twist at the end of a long trial, a District of Columbia judge found Mark Witaschek guilty of “attempted possession of unlawful ammunition” for antique replica muzzleloader bullets.

CHICAGO ISN’T SAFE: Shortage of ambulances, growing response times

Thu, 03/27/2014 - 09:47

Second City Cop turns us on to a story in Chicago that is just another reason not to travel to Chicago – home of Illinois strictest gun control laws and highest violent crime.  No correlation there between crime and gun control, of course.  No.  Huh-uh.

It’s not directly gun related, however, if you have a health emergency in Chicago while traveling there on business or pleasure, the advanced life support ambulance services you presently enjoy in your hometown may not be available in Chicago… and even if one might be available, you’re going to wait longer for it to arrive in America’s second-largest city.

To make matters worse, instead of fixing the problem, the Chicago of Chicago is telling dispatchers and employees to avoid mentioning the unavailability of ALS-equipped ambulances in their radio communications.

It’s kind of like crime un

Illinois Association of Realtors looking to cut their own throats

Wed, 03/26/2014 - 19:19

The Illinois Association of Realtors is treading on some very thin ice with their recommendations on posting “NO GUNS” signage.

As conscientious gun owners, it will be up to us to let those bigots who oppose our right to self-defense feel the pinch of lost business and lost profits for their anti-gun prejudices.

From the IAR newsletter.  Our thoughts in red.  Bold emphasis added.

Q:  What do I need to be concerned about with regard to the new Illinois concealed carry law as it relates to my real estate brokerage practice?

A: That is a good question. You will need to know what your own office policy is and whether your sponsoring brokerage company allows concealed carry within your office. If so, the person who possesses a valid conce

Ah, it feels so wrong to feel so good about this.

Like a good neighbor, a gun owner is there: CCW holder stops felonious assault in MI

Wed, 03/26/2014 - 17:27

From Detroit Free Press:

Roseville Police Chief James Berlin said that Silva claimed he is addicted to heroin, but it is not believed he was on the drug at the time of the assault.

Berlin said Silva began to fight with store loss prevention officers in the parking lot when they tried to apprehend him for stuffing a $179 battery-powered drill under his coat. Silva pulled a concealed syringe from his jacket and used it as a weapon, swinging it around in a slashing motion, police said.

They said he stabbed one of the officers several times with the contaminated needle. Berlin said the victim had more than five puncture wounds on the top of his hand.

ARMED AMERICAN GOODNESS: Detroit thugs break in but they don’t break out

Tue, 03/25/2014 - 15:00

A pair of Detroit thugs ran headlong into hot lead while committing a home invasion in the Motor City.

The homeowner, a city employee, used deadly force to thwart their attack and truncated their careers as thugs.

It’s just another in a long list of Detroit residents arming themselves to defend their homes and families against the brazen inner-city thugs.

DETROIT (WXYZ) - Detroit Police tell 7 Action News a homeowner has shot and killed two suspected home invaders who were reportedly attempting to rob him.

Police are on the scene located on Dexter on Detroit’s west side.

The man who lives in the home, came running out of the house and flagged down EMS. He told EMS workers that he needed help saying “I shot 2 guys trying to break into my home.”

The homeowner was taken to the police station for

Democrat Keith Ellison wishes Democrats would eliminate the 2nd Amendment

Tue, 03/25/2014 - 14:00

America’s only Muslim in Congress, Democrat Keith Ellison, said last weekend that he really wished his party would come out to eliminate the Second Amendment.

How American, right?  Maybe he wants to eliminate professional football and baseball as well?

And will apple pie be safe after that?

(Townhall) -  During an appearance over the weekend on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison said he wishes Democrats would come out in opposition to the Second Amendment. Before the admission, Ellison listed off a number of “common sense” ways we can reduce “gun violence,” which is typical of anti-gun advocates. He also stated, “I don’t think you have to got eliminate ownership of all guns in order to get some common sense gun rules,&

OUTSTANDING: Middle schoolers go to shooting range for school field trip

Tue, 03/25/2014 - 13:00

Do you recall any less than stellar school field trips from your childhood?  If you’re like many, you’ve probably forgotten about the ones that were lackluster.

Kids in Pueblo County probably won’t forget about their field trip last week:  A trip to a shooting range.

(Enter the collective sound of Moms Demand Action having kittens about now, and the Coalition to Ban Gun Ownership / Violence feigned indignation.)

Project Appleseed volunteers helped make it happen and kudos to them for a fantastic endeavor!

 

PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – Middle school students moved their lesson from the classroom to the shooting range.

It wasn’t your typical field trip. A group of students in Pueblo County was firing live ammo and learning about gun safety.

“I’m very excited, today we’re going to come out here on the gun range and

THE “BEST” AND THE “BRIGHTEST”: R.I. State Senator confronted on gun rights: “Go f*** yourself.”

Tue, 03/25/2014 - 11:49

 

Classy.

Rhode Island State Senator Josh Miller gets confronted in the halls of the Rhode Island statehouse by a man reminding him of the Second Amendment.

Miller’s response?

Go **** yourself.

How nice.

Here’s some background:

(ABC6) – Some Rhode Island lawmakers…are again taking aim at gun control. No fewer that nine bills are now being considered – from banning assault style weapons; to boosting sales tax on ammunition; and, limiting gun clips to no more than ten rounds.

“People do have the right to own a gun. I believe in that. But I think there’s also a new type of responsibility that has to come with controlling a gun and the guns that go out into the street,” said State Rep. Joe Almeida (D) Providence, who sponsored three of the bills.

Gun owner’s rights advocates are already firing back. “We’re

Don’t hold it against them.

The girls have gotta earn a living somehow.

“Moms” Demand Action,  the group headed up by Shannon Watts (the professional Democrat political operative) have finally and officially publicly prostituted themselves to the Billionaire (former mayor) Michael Bloomberg.

Bob Owens at Bearing Arms sums it up nicely and puts a bow on it:

NC Gun Blog’s Sean Sorrentino notes that Mom’s Demand has now even dropped the pretense of being anything other than “beards” for Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns:

Take one billionaire former New York City mayor with a Napoleon complex, dress him in drag, and what do you get? “Moms” Demand Action for Gunsense in America. We’ve already been told that
