I think this article illuminates the difference between the liberal elite, who believe there is a law to cover everything, and the conservatives, who believe laws are passed only upon greatest need and with greatest reluctance. Here is a quote from Hampden County (Mass) District Attorney William Bennett:SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Authorities are consid...

As I’ve previously discussed, residents of Illinois who wish to own a gun need to first get a Firearms Owner Identification Card (FOID).  The law requires that the FOID be issued within 30 days, however the Illinois State Police have been breaking the law by taking longer than 30 days to issue FOID cards.  In [...]...

The Washington Post is reporting that while Americans have cut back on buying cars, furniture and clothes in a tough economy, there's one consumer item that's still enjoying healthy sales: guns. According to state and federal data, purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year. The story reports many dealers, buyers and...

By Joseph P. Tartaro With just [days] left in the longest presidential campaign in American history, the road to the White House appears to run through fewer than 10 states. These battlegrounds, many of them in either the Rust Belt or the West, could hold the key to whether Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain becomes the nation’s 44th president...

Brigid hits another homer on the Cooper Firearms story: The Chief Executive of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Dan Cooper, likes Obama’s general policies so much that he’s redistributed $3,300 to the Obama presidential campaign.

Spread your wealth by contributing to causes you consider worthy and deserving.  Americans are the most generous people on the planet because we have the means to be so. Eliminate the means and … well you know what that means. Does Obama know better than me what causes I hold worthy?  For example, I wonder how much of my newly confiscated...

Cooper Arms, who’s CEO we talked about earlier, have updated their web site: Regarding the USA Today Article. Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc. did not contribute and does not support in any fashion the campaign of Senator Obama. Nine months ago Dan Cooper (personally) made an online donation to the campaign in an effort to help defeat Hillary...

Vote YES at this PBS poll. Compared to a neophyte Senator with only 143 days of verifiable on the job work experience (and no executive experience) I say Sarah palin is well qualified. Plus - she can shoot! ...

If you're a real 1911 geek you should appreciate the following factoids:1) The Colt 1902 has a bushingless coned barrel.2) The Colt 1902 has a ramped barrel.2) The Colt 1900 has double, nested recoil spring a la the Detonics or Delta Elite.Everything old is new again. :)...

Bitter over on Snowflakes in Hell, along with the SAF have brought to my attention ACORN’s attempt at getting involved with the Anti Gun movement right here in my neck of the woods.  Seems that ACORN’s Greenville chapter is located right here in Jersey City, Greenville being one of it’s neighborhoods. According to the SAF article...

If the polls are to be believed, one week from today we will be electing the Senator who has been rated the most liberal Senator in history to the office of President of The United States. If the Democrats can get enough people to the polls to elect Obama, then I fear they will get enough people to the polls to gain a super-majority in Congress. Wh...

There are several type of Class 3 items that are restricted by the National Firearms Act. Each state can impose additional restrictions on the sale, purchase, and transfer of class 3 firearms in addition to the compliance that is required with the National Firearms Act. In Missouri you can own the following items that are regulated by ...

Think again.You didn't actually think that Obama was going to cut taxes on the vast majority of Americans, did you?Only if you don't consider letting the tax cuts ushered in under Bush lapse an increase.The first loophole was easy to find:  Senator Obama doesn't "count" allowing the Bush tax cuts to lapse as a tax increase.  Unless the cu...

The Mrs. voted early today, however she experienced what seems to be the norm - long lines and long waiting times. I don't get it. The last two general elections I went to on the 4th had maybe a 15 minute wait at most. Why would I go earlier to wait longer? With as many people voting early, come next week I'll probably just walk in with no line at ...

McCain ain't no saint, and in fact is only a socialist-lite, but this is ridiculous. ...

NSSF mentioned last night that ACORN is asking to get involved in an appeal of a Jersey City case that twice previously threw out one-gun-a-month laws. But their brief doesn’t answer questions gun owners want to know like why the hell ACORN wants to get involved. It turns out that ACORN has actually been involved with the case since that las...

If you are a hunter, target shooter or individual with a fair amount of money to spend on a new bolt-action rifle in any caliber, may I recommend that you NOT purchase a Cooper Arms rifle (link not provided deliberately).Why? Because Dan Cooper, CEO of the company, has decided to back Senator Obama as President. In this regard, I see him no diffe...

Funny story: I went to make phone calls for McCain last night. Along with the group of us calling voters, there are others calling past volunteers, etc. So in the middle of my time there, my cell phone rings. It was one of the people calling volunteers! I asked where they were calling from, because it would be easier to continue the conversation fa...

Dear Mr. Cooper: I was disappointed to learn that, as a firearms manufacturer, you are supporting arguably the most anti-gun ticket for the U.S. presidency in history. If you are not aware, Sen. Obama, while paying lip service to our Second Amendment rights, which protects not only our rights, but also your business, his record towards it is appall...

While this article is trying to help, it confuses one for the other, thoroughly confusing the issue. In the comments, you have a lawyer already trying to figure out how much money can be made off of it, someone clucking that the next mass murderer is going to use this loophole to kill lots of people, and the requisite "I don’t get the “thrill�...
