Illinois passes amended SB 1034, neglects far better option

But must it be as bad as all that? In most states, after all, the state police do not play any role in approving (or denying) gun sales. When a gun shop customer wants to buy a gun, the gun dealer dials up the federal NICS system, and finds out whether or not the sale may proceed--no state police involvement whatsoever.

Why not get Illinois out of the business of enforcing federal gun laws altogether? Why not scrap the FOID program, of which the vast majority of states have no equivalent, and do not seem to miss it? [More]

California legislator wants to ban popular firearm accessory, and discussion

The chilling part, though, is the next sentence. Yee would apparently allow "no debate, no discussion" about effective militia capable arms for Californians. If he feels so free to trample the first two amendments of the Bill of Rights, can his attacks on the other eight be far behind? [More]

Obama administration should advise 'Snuffy' Pfleger, too

Chicago's Father Michael "Snuffy" Pfleger--so named for his threat to "snuff out" gun dealers and legislators opposed to making Illinois gun laws even more draconian than they already are--has a long history of preaching very specific, partisan political advocacy (a history that repeats itelf), and has so far seemed immune to the tax consequences one might expect.

'Onion' article not funny, and misses point--NO number of dead warrants gun laws

Furthermore, the denial of such a monopoly is the last line of defense against genocide. So here's an idea for a funny article, Onion: write about CSGV executive director Josh Horwitz telling how many millions of government-disarmed citizens murdered by their governments--how many scores of millions; hundreds of millions--it would take for CSGV to drop their demand for a genocide-enabling "government monopoly on force."

Sounds like a real knee-slapper, doesn't it? [More]

GOP 'leadership' apparently proving Holder's 'nation of cowards' charge

If there is any truth to the claim that GOP leadership is reluctant to aggressively pursue justice for this abomination, because doing so would appear "racist," then racial cowardice will have triumphed over decency. Ironically, setting lower standards of behavior (or no standards, perhaps) "on the first black attorney general, who is serving under the first black president," because they are black, would itself define racial discrimination.

Stealth 'gun control' threatens Illinois

In other words, Illinoisans are apparently expected to accept the notion that unless the state and federal governments can agree on how to ensure that we the people are adequately "gun controlled," the people's right to buy firearms will be suspended. [More]

Mayors Against Illegal Guns sells tyranny to city taxpayers

And now we know that the taxpayers of at least 10 cities are being forced to subsidize that sick agenda. As National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea puts it, "How unsurprising of hive insect queen Bloomberg to rely on the Chicom final insult of charging for the executioner's bullet."

That is an insult that cannot be borne by a free people. [More]
