westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com < /a> Bracken: When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence From Matt Bracken: In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in 1968 (MLK assassination), and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King). New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout looting or the 1991 Crown Heights ...
Robber Puts Knife to Grandma’s Throat, Grandma Puts Gun In His Face

On Monday, a would-be robber put a knife to the throat of a 74-year-old Fort Worth, Texas, grandma — and the grandma responded by pointing a gun at the robber’s face and telling him to “back off.” The attempted robbery ended at that point. According to NBC 5, Jewell Turner was sitting in her vehicle outside a doctor’s office when the someone tapped on her window, indicating he needed directions. She rolled down the window and said the man just small-talked and asked for directions, then pulled a knife and put it to her throat. Turner said the man said, “I don’t want to hurt you, but I want your money. And I will hurt you if I have to.” At that ...

What if you bring a gun onto ‘educational property,’ but don’t know that it’s educational property? That’s not a crime under North Carolina law, the North Carolina Court of Appeals held today in State v. Huckelba. First, the facts (some paragraph breaks added throughout): On 25 December 2012, Defendant [Anna Huckelba] was a senior at High Point University in High Point, North Carolina. Because it was Christmas day, school was not in session, and there were few cars on campus. That evening, sometime after 4:30 P.M., Defendant pulled into a parking spot in front of High Point University’s Administration Building. In order to get to this parking spot, Defendant ...

Pew first: Gun rights top gun control in major public opinion shift (62% distrust government)

Exactly two years after President Obama's bid for gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting died in Congress, a new poll has discovered a huge shift in public opinion to backing Second Amendment gun rights and away from controlling gun ownership. The reason: Americans now believe having a gun is the best way to protect against crime, 63 percent to 30 percent. Pew Research Center found that while support for gun control once reached 66 percent, it has dropped to 46 percent while support for gun rights has jumped 52 percent, the highest ever in the past 25 years. "We are at a moment when most Americans believe crime rates are rising and when most believe ...
Guns in U.S. are ‘ultimate check against government tyranny’: Cruz

The right to gun ownership in America is not just about hunting, or protecting property and person, but “the ultimate check against government tyranny,” argues a fund appeal from Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R- Texas. The Cruz fundraising letter echoes arguments made by militia groups, and a far-right demonstration last winter that followed voter passage of an initiative requiring criminal background checks for gun purchasers. “The Second Amendment to the Constitution isn’t just for protecting hunting rights, and it’s not only to safeguard your right to target practice,” said Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general. “It is a ...

Nothing is too absurd for our public (government indoctrination camps) schools to ban and punish children over these days. Today’s headlines read more like The Onion than reality, but it’s actually not even remotely funny that the majority of our nation’s kids are being subjected to this idiotic lunacy every single day. The extension of zero tolerance policies on guns to toy guns, fake guns and wild imaginations has baffled parents and instituted a culture of fear that aims punish children for seemingly innocent play. Kids have been disciplined and even arrested for wielding water guns, a Hello Kitty bubble gun, pop tarts half-eaten to shape a crude gun, a gun key chain, ...

Who is the last great hope for Republicans in 2016 as they seek to maintain control of the Senate… and possibly the White House? One surprising answer is coming out of the annual convention of the NRA, and his name is Michael Bloomberg. The well monied former New York mayor and head honcho of Everytown for Gun Safety is holding his own event in Tennessee to focus attention on politicians who aren’t willing to sign on to ever increasing restrictions of the rights of gun owners. And it’s got some Democrats worried with good reason. “Every time a Democrat starts talking about guns, they lose numbers because it is the Second Amendment,” said Dave “Mudcat” ...

Melissa MeltonActivist Post That’s right, folks. This is the fear-based state of America’s modern-day education and legislation systems. To start, every type of gun you can (and children do) imagine must be banned at school. We must brainwash all our children that guns are bad (mm’kay), that the “stupid Second Amendment” needs to be repealed, and that even imaginary guns are such an evil, horrible transgression as to be punished as if they were actual firearms that could actually lethally hurt someone. (Unless, of course, those guns are in the hands of the government and its many, many agents…)Squirt guns have already long ago been banned within schools ...

While other states continue to try to find ways around recent Supreme Court rulings and whittle away at gun rights, Kansas is going in a different direction. While Kansans have traditionally enjoyed more Second Amendment freedom than the majority of states, Governor Sam Brownback is taking things to the next level as of this summer, when all legally entitled residents will be able to concealed carry without a permit. Kansans soon can carry concealed weapons without permits or training under a bill signed by Gov.

Shaneen Allen, a single mother of two young children, had a concealed carry permit in her home state of Pennsylvania. But when she crossed the line into New Jersey and was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, the ensuing discovery of her weapon, which she disclosed to the officer, meant she was facing a mandatory 3-5 year sentence in prison if convicted. Allen worked as a phlebotomist in Pennsylvania and had been robbed twice during the course of the year, leading her to purchase a firearm to protect her family. She had no prior convictions. Gun activists rushed to her defense upon her arrest. She made bail after 40 days and then awaited a possible felony charge. The county in ...

www.theatlantic.com How Gun Rights Harm the Rule of Law Second Amendment activists are redefining the public sphere, and with it, American democracy. Rick Willing/Reuters Polls show that gun owners cite self-protection as the primary reason they are armed. Their intentions are generally good and admirable. The gun-rights movement has done a great job making the argument for individuals to be armed to protect themselves and their families in their own homes. What if you are faced with a menacing home intruder and police are far away? In that situation, it makes good sense to be armed. But there is an unfortunate lesson playing out for those who have armed themselves to feel ...

THE LIGHT TRIGGER PULL ISSUE By Massad Ayoob A common thread topic on shooting forums is whether a defensive handgun with a lighter-than- factory-spec trigger pull can cause problems in court. Because this is something that most people don’t have experience with, the topic is particularly vulnerable to misinformation. On a recent thread, the original poster opened with the following link, in which instructors and lawyers mentioned several cases of too-light pulls resulting in injuries and severe legal problems: Gun Modifications, Light Triggers and Reloaded Ammunition . It wasn’t long before someone posted to claim there had never been such a case. Others wrote in, citing cases ...

hermanturnip Massachusetts' ban on the private possession of stun guns—an "electrical weapon" under the statute—does not violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms, the state's top court has ruled. The decision says (PDF) that the US Constitution's framers never envisioned the modern stun-gun device, first patented in 1972. The top court said stun guns are not suitable for military use, and that it did not matter whether state lawmakers have approved the possession of handguns outside the home. Nevertheless, we note that stun guns deliver a charge of up to 50,000 volts. They are designed to incapacitate a target by causing disabling pain, uncontrolled ...

It’s starting. As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president. Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, ...
