“‘When the universal background checks don’t work, then registration will be proposed to enforce them,’ said Senator Charles Grassley, Republican of Iowa, last week. ‘And when that doesn’t work, because criminals won’t register their guns, we may be looking at confiscation.’ This dangerous fiction may appeal to the most extreme gun owners, but a large majority of the public has rejected it. The Senate should do the same.” – Keep Guns Out of Criminal Hands [via nytimes.com]

My dad’s colt 1911, chrome plated. He carried it in WWII and Korea. I have fired it, but don’t do so now.
Well, this is confusing.
Can someone paraphrase into simple English?
Apparently, confiscation appeals to “extreme gun owners”?
Something real Universal distribution of the NC programming. In most every community you can find NC machining equipment. Even if $50ea better than no mags.
Forget about the mythical nonsense of “printing” RP magazines and AR components..
Almost all of Bloomberg sponsored videos on YT do not allow for comments or ratings. I wonder why that is the case. Could it be a total mis-information propaganda machine spinning their own un-reality.
Mayors Against “Illegal” Guns? Then why are they targeting honest “Legal” gun owners? It’s all slight of hand and smoke and mirrors. I live in Boston, MA where I’ve been “registered” for 25+ years now as all legal concealed carriers are, and we still have gang bangers killing each other. And I’m pretty sure they’re not NRA members. Once again, “looking” like you’re doing something about the problem, is a lot easier than “actually” doing something about illegal guns: that would take real money and manpower and stepping over the ACLU. Gun control is about “control” not guns. Bloomberg should give that money to Chicago so they can at least hire more cops and investigators and catch bad guys.
All of Bloomberg’s billions wouldn’t help the people of Chicago. The whole bundle would be stolen before it trickled down to street-level solutions.
With all due respect to the families that lost loved ones to the killer at Sandy Hook he could have done much more killing. How? Most people have seen groups of kids waiting for their school bus. These groups of kids occur at the same time in a given area perhaps a block or two apart. Kids on one block don’t see the kids on the other block so if something happened to one group the other group wouldn’t be aware of it. By stealing his mothers car keys he could have, or anyone could have and can still kill/maim many more than he did. My point? Take away the good guys guns and the bad guy will just use a car,take away the cars and the BG will just use rat poison after getting a job in the school cafeteria. Just because you (a stranger) lost a kid doesn’t give you special status in my eyes, I wish it didn’t happen yes, but nothing else. So since some of them want to take away my guns that I can use in defense of my loved ones , they are now on the other side and I no longer feel any pity for them because they have lost their people.
all my life the drumbeat from certain quarters has been for more gun control. Why would I not think they would enact confiscation if they could?
I have a 16 gauge Ithaca Featherweight my grandfather left me that never gets shot because the ammo is too expensive to go shoot when I have a 12 gauge I can feed for 6x cheaper. Can’t bring myself to sell it because it’s all he left me and the first shotgun I shot, he taught me to hunt ducks and shoot clays with that thing.
and he’ll be out on bail in about 10 minutes.

What reason could anyone have for not accepting biometrically-protected cameras, microphones, computers, etc? It’s not like it’s a First Amendment issue…
…unless some government or corporation remotely revokes the security certificate on your biometric device because they don’t like what you’re publishing.
For some reason, this made me think of the novel Moscow 2042 (written in 1986 before the collapse of Soviet communism). The time-travelling author goes into the future, where censorship no longer exists in the Soviet Union. Authors are free to write whatever they want; they’re just not permitted to have paper in their typewriters.
I agree that WLP is past his prime.
Isnt this sort of a bad thing to do? Doesnt it put a lot of stress on the quarter/half kock ledge of a SAA’s hammer?
