They have to lie about who they are because gun control is so unpopular . . . Fake “Gun Group” Supports Anti-Gun Sen Sweeney – “If you get info from the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance (NJOA), it is important to remember what it isn’t. It isn’t an organization dedicated to protecting the Second Amendment, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution of the United States of America, Due Process for law abiding citizens, or the Rule of Law. … A few years ago, the NJOA actually had a purpose. They organized and helped defeat liberal, anti-Second Amendment legislators like State Senator Ellen Karcher and Assemblyman Michael Panter in 2007. The Democrats’ noticed this and so they made a major effort to co-opt NJOA founder Anthony Mauro. It worked, and by 2008, the NJOA was endorsing such major left-wing characters as State Senator John Adler for United States Congress.”
Texas gun store uses fog machine to deter burglars – “A former Secret Service agent-turned-gun store owner in Conroe is protecting his store with a system he believes is the first of its kind in the Houston area. Thom Bolsch, owner of Saddle River Range on FM 1488 at Horseshoe Bend, installed the FlashFog security system after seeing the Canadian company’s product at a convention in Las Vegas. When a break-in happens, it fills the store with dense fog, blinding strobe lights, and a piercing alarm. All of this is designed to make it harder for the criminal to find the guns and find a way out before police show up.”
From the land formerly known as Great Britain . . . Are there any legal self defence products that I can buy? – “The only fully legal self defence product at the moment is a rape alarm. These are not expensive and can be bought from most local police stations or supermarkets. There are other self defence products which claim to be legal (e.g. non toxic sprays), however, until a test case is brought before the court, we cannot confirm their legality or endorse them. If you purchase one you must be aware that if you are stopped by the police and have it in your possession there is always a possibility that you will be arrested and detained until the product, it’s contents and legality can be verified.”
Looks like Taco Hell’s drive thru moves a little too slowly in Indy . . . Pole winner Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti robbed at gunpoint in Taco Bell drive-thru – “Hours after winning the pole position in the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500, IndyCar driver Scott Dixon and former Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint at a Taco Bell on West 16th Street, which is about a half mile from the track. Dixon’s wife, Emma Davies-Dixon, was also with him at the time of the robbery. It happened at 10 p.m. as Dixon went through the drive-thru lane at Taco Bell, just four hours after Dixon was awarded the pole by turning laps of 232.164 miles per hour.”
Reaching out and touching someone . . . SAS sniper ‘killed ISIS terrorist from almost 1.5 MILES AWAY’ using the world’s most powerful rifle with bullet taking three seconds to strike target – “AN SAS sniper killed an ISIS terrorist from almost 1.5 MILES away using a mega-powerful rifle, a report says. It took three whole seconds for the bullet to reach the terror thug in Mosul, Iraq two weeks ago. A veteran sniper hit the insurgent in the throat as he tried to escape a burned-out building, killing him almost instantly, the Daily Star said. It is believed to be one of the most difficult long-range kills in the elite regiment’s history. The paper claimed the shot was fired from a CheyTac M200 — a record-breaking US-made rifle with a max range of up to nearly two miles.”
Fudds gotta Fudd . . . Allowing more Minnesotans to freely carry guns seems unwise – “A ‘permitless carry’ bill went before the state House this session, promising essentially to repeal much of Minnesota’s existing gun permit law and, as it states, to provide ‘for the right to carry without a permit; providing for an optional permit to carry.’ I don’t believe it would be a wise move to allow anyone who appears to be an adult to freely carry a gun out on the streets (“Permitless gun carry bill draws debate in Minnesota Legislature,” March 9). The measure was supported by the NRA and its favored legislators. For decades I was a member of the National Rifle Association and had its conspicuous round insignia on my cars and trucks. I was even enrolled into the “National Rifle Association of America Millennium Honor Roll.” It wasn’t that I thought the NRA and its members had some ill intent when I decided to discontinue my membership; it was because of the evermore unlikeable image of the NRA to many people.”
A dispatch from DeBlasio’s New York . . . Cops arrest BB gun snipers accused of firing at police car – “Cops nabbed two BB gun snipers who were allegedly among a foursome firing pellets at a marked police car in the Bronx on this week. The four snipers were on the roof of a residential building at Aqueduct Avenue and West 192nd Street in Fordham Manor at 1 a.m. on Friday when one of them fired the air gun at the police cruiser, damaging its windshield and roof, cops said. The officers inside were not injured.”
What the hell is wrong with the North Carolina courts? . . . You Can Get Charged With Murder For Defensive Gun Use — Even In A ‘Stand Your Ground’ State – “At trial, Lee’s attorney argued that he had acted in self-defense. But in charging the jury, the judge failed to make any mention of the state’s ‘stand your ground’ law or the defendant’s right to use force in the defense of his cousin (who had died of his wounds). The jury returned a verdict of guilty. On appeal, the North Carolina Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, holding that the trial judge had not committed ‘plain error’ in charging the jury without bringing up the state’s “stand your ground” statute.” An appeals court failed to overturn the conviction too.
Hmm . . . Feds seize guns of 8 Chinese students at University of Arizona – “In recent months, federal and state officials have cited at least eight Chinese students at the University of Arizona for fraudulently obtaining resident hunting licenses, and also seized from them a number of firearms obtained using those licenses. A high-ranking federal official told the Star his agency has no evidence of ‘malicious intent’ by the eight students. Nevertheless, the purchases reveal what officials say is a potentially troubling vulnerability in federal and Arizona firearms laws, which exempt international students and other non-immigrant visa holders with hunting licenses from prohibitions on gun ownership.”
True?
