Anarchy in the UK! . . . Hand guns should be legalised and licensed, Nigel Farage has said – “The Ukip leader has said it is party policy for hand guns to be legalised and licensed in the UK despite being banned in the UK for the last 18 years. Mr Farage said the current ban on the guns, which were made illegal following the school shooting at Dunblane in 1996, was ‘ludicrous.’ Speaking on LBC Radio Mr Farage said that it was Ukip policy to create a “proper licensing policy” and that people who kept hand guns responsibility locked up and had were willing to get an official licence should ‘absolutely’ be allowed them.”

Well this was predictable . . . Passage Of Prop 63 Spurs Run On Ammo – “California voters’ passage of anti-gun Proposition 63 last week has had exactly the expected response—a run on ammunition in the state. The new law will severely restrict ammo purchases by law-abiding gun owners in the state, while having no effect on criminals, who couldn’t care less about any kind of background check. Reports out of Sacramento indicate that people waited in line for an hour just to get into the Crossroads of the West Gun Show at Cal Expo to buy ammunition.”

LUCID Optics, manufacturer of the best value line of optics on the market, is proud to offer the new L7 Rifle Scope. The L7 1-6x 24 rifle scope offers users a crystal clear true 1x to 6x performance driven optic. The glass etched P7 reticle makes this optic an ideal match for use with the AR platform in short to medium range applications with most any caliber.

OMG! People building their own guns! OMG! . . . ‘Ghost gun’ kit makers on the rise in Central Florida – Companies that make kits which allow buyers to assemble military-style, semi-automatic rifles at home have sprung up in recent years in at least one Central Florida county, alarming some in law enforcement. These so-called “ghost gun” kits have become popular with firearms rights activists because the parts have no serial number or other markings, making them untraceable. Ghost guns can be purchased online from thousands of different websites without a background check.

Carry permits to be treated like drivers permits, marriage licenses . . . Local gun-carrying restrictions may be wiped out under Trump, advocates say – “With Donald Trump in the White House, tourists from other states may soon be able to bring their guns to shops of Fifth Avenue, the plaza at Rockefeller Center and other New York City sights. Advocates say they expect Congress to finally pass a sweeping gun rights law that could dismantle local gun-carrying restrictions in states including New York, New Jersey, Maryland, California and Hawaii. These changes could come soon. If Congress passes a federal right-to-carry law, it’s “certainly possible” that within a year or two, New York tourists might be able to carry a concealed weapon as they tour the city, said Robert Spitzer, a gun politics expert at SUNY Cortland.”

From our friends at Mother Jones… Man Pulls a Gun And Drives Through Pipeline Protesters – “On Saturday, a driver pulled a gun on Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters and ran over and injured two people, witnesses say. Anti-pipeline protesters were holding a prayer ceremony near the entrance to the construction site and obstructing traffic on a public road. A man in a flatbed truck driving down the road brandished his a pistol and screamed, ‘This is my way home!'”
