Majority of Americans
Have lost faith in the nation, and believe our values have declined
One surprise comes in the area of guns. The public is split down the middle on the need for more gun safety laws, but 72 percent backed an absolute right to self-defense, even if that means using deadly force. Growing percentages oppose any outright bans on handgun ownership, with 64 percent in opposition, up from 51 percent in 1980, though there are doubts about concealed handguns.

Appears he was within his rights
Police beat Licensed CCW holder, after he informs
Details still sketchy but seems that proper concealment would have avoided the whole problem

They say if you are well off you are less likely
To get shot
I've always heard going to dangerous places where dangerous people are doing dangerous things, is more likely to get you shot.

Liberal Spin
On Contempt charges by the GOP
Again the tried old "let's blame Bush" lament
Now at least when it was done under Bush, 3 things happened, 1. they informed the Mexican Government they were doing it, 2. They tried to add electronic trackers, to well actually track the weapons. 3. When that failed the entire program was shut down.
Later with Obama in office the program is restarted without informing the Mexicans, without any means of tracking the weapons until they show up at a crime scene, and continued until they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Now why restart a program with fewer safe guards than a previous failure, unless you have your own agenda?
Now if the whole thing were rogue agents acting on their own, Holder could have proved that over a year ago, but instead denials, and side stepping, until he is in the corner, that it really did come down from above, and Executive Privilege only counts if the President/Whitehouse were also involved.
I for one agree with the NRA, it was a lesson Clinton learned in 94, when he lost the House and the Senate.

Man who shot and killed another 9 times, used two guns
If he had to kill him 9 times, was he a zombie?

I wouldn't accept "democratic decision-making"
When it includes a lot of dead people voting
NRA was started 1871 right here in New York state. It was started by some Yankee generals who didn't like the way my Southern boys had the ability to shoot in what we call the 'War of Northern Aggression.' Now y'all might call it the Civil War, but we call it the 'War of Northern Aggression' down south. But that was the very reason that they started the National Rifle Association, was to teach and train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm and I am one who still feel very strongly that that is one of our greatest charges that we can have today, is to train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm so when they have to fight for their country, they're ready to do it. Also, when they're ready to fight tyranny, they're ready to do it. Also, when they're ready to fight tyranny, they have the wherewithal and the weapons to do it. I charge you ladies and gentlemen that that is a very important charge for all of us to take up. It's a sacred duty for all of us to maintain. We've received it from our ancestors. You think about the War of Independence. You think about Valley Forge ... And they defeated the most powerful military force known to that time in civilization.

Just got back from Utah
At dark o'thirty this morning, left Friday afternoon to go renew my Utah Instructor Certification, normal bogging should resume tomorrow, it is good there is a spell check here or this would be unreadable, I had about 5 hour sleep over the last two nights, and dam getting older sucks
But She Was Licensed
and registered
How many times have we heard the anti's say if we licensed and registered gun owners, like drivers things like this wouldn't happen?

I'm a bit speechless at the stupidity
The defense claims the two would regularly dry-fire the guns at each other (pull the trigger without ammo) and had done it that night.
Shain's attorney says Shain didn't know a handgun was reloaded by Arlen, when he pointed it at Arlen. He claims Arlen put his mouth around the barrel, and told Shain to, "Do it."
Makes Sense
Increased guns sales due to more TV shows covering the sport, have lead to more new buyers
So is the election or some of the new shows, like American Guns, Top Shot etc or a combination of both?
If it is the election then things will likely slow down in November, but if the TV has made guns cool and the "Hot" new thing to do then the wave of sales may well continue, at least till the next hot new thing shows up.

Time to carry
Something bigger than a handgun
Mob attacks, only in Chicago, in most of the armed states (America) acting like that could get a lot of people shot

Police Chief Shoots
Himself, while cleaning gun
From the article I will assume it was a Glock, now we can't blame the booger hook on this one, Glock's do have to be de-cocked to take apart. How about not following instructions? All the Glock manuals I've seen show to grasp the take down tabs from beneath the firearm, but how many people do you see grasp the tabs from the top?
Which leaves some part of the hand in front of what? Muzzle you say? You are correct!
What did we learn in basic firearms class?
Always point the gun in a safe direction
That muzzle is always pointed at something

Detroit the nation’s justifiable homicide capital?
One that did it right, and one that did it wrong
He'd called police, but an officer told him it could be days before someone showed up to take a report. Like many Detroit residents frustrated by the city’s dwindling police resources, White prepared himself for the worst.
Like White, Croff had been victimized before. After his east side home was burglarized three times in a single week, Croff came home from his security guard job and found a group of men attempting another break-in. But unlike White, Croff gave chase when the intruders fled. He eventually caught up to 53-year-old Herbert Silas and shot the unarmed man in the chest.
Never give chase

Shooting when you are drunk
can kill you
Although shooting at a fuel tank is pretty stupid, in itself, I'd think one would to be pretty close to said tank, to get maintain enough velocity for a fatal wound.

“It’s a statistical black hole,”
Police are reporting the cases as criminal homicides. When it’s later determined to be justifiable, they don’t change the easy-to-recode electronic records. It’s as simple as changing a “1” to a “4.”
So if they are finding these kind of errors in one state, how many of the nations homicides are justified?

Woman wounded by bullet, but it wasn't a gunshot wound
I did the same thing 18 years ago, except it was over a burning trash barrel, and it was a 5.56 round, and the jacket was embedded in the base of my left palm

Forget 9 vs 45!!
Let's make it 1911 vs 1911
The first video starts with them loading the gun with their strong hand, if you want to impress me, at the very least show you know how to handle a gun. Then continue to stuff your booger hook on the bang switch, With pistol and rifles we shoot for groups, not patterns, 11 million rounds?
The 2nd video was a hoot, bad stances, grips, and at the 40 second mark, that anticipation on the trigger.
This will not be my go to place for gun advice

Detonics is proud to introduce the DTX, the first semi-automatic pistol engineered on Combat Human Factor research. Every major component of the DTX is designed to enhance combat point shooting accuracy, to compensate for the precision impairments triggered by SNS activation, and enhance ease of operation.

If you can't keep guns out of prisons
How can you control them anyplace else?
Authorities seized about 125 guns stashed inside a prison following a standoff between armed inmates and troops that ended more than two weeks ago, Venezuela's prisons chief said Sunday. Varela said at a news conference that the weaponry recovered included handguns, shotguns, one submachine gun, one telescopic sight, 27 explosive devices and more than 64,000 rounds of ammunition.
