Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

A US congressman has posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appears to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a high school in Michigan.
Thomas Massie of Kentucky tweeted: “Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo.”

The Democratic US Representative John Yarmuth condemned his fellow Kentuckian’s post. “I’m old enough to remember Republicans screaming that it was insensitive to try to protect people from gun violence after a tragedy,” Yarmuth tweeted, apparently referring to calls for gun control laws.
“I promise not everyone in Kentucky is an insensitive asshole,” he added. The shooting in Oxford, Michigan, was the latest in a string of such incidents that have prompted fierce debates over school safety, gun control and gun rights.
It’s good to see Rep. Massie trolling the progs. Never quit!
Now for the readers, name the guns in the photo? If I’m not mistaken, Massie has a collection of Class 3 weapons.
A Missouri lawmaker is planning to introduce a new bill that he claims will strengthen the state’s “stand your ground” law.
Sen. Eric Burlison (R-Battlefied) pre-filed the legislation Wednesday. It would grant a person criminal immunity for using deadly force in self-defense unless the force is used against a law enforcement officer in the line of duty.
Now why would it be necessary to add the part I’ve bolded?
Because they can’t allow anything to escape the blanket indemnification they grant to all LEOs in every circumstance.
And what about a home invasion by SWAT in the wrong home where they bust in and point guns at your children, with you not knowing anything about who they are?
No he’s not, and he knows it. He isn’t trying to do the right thing. He’s got someone imprisoned for no good reason, demanding they wear a device that has no affect whatsoever over transmission of a bug that hasn’t been proven to do any real damage.
He’s infringing on liberty and God-given rights to work and be with family.
He’s evil, just as his handlers. And he knows it, regardless of his words. This is called kidnapping and false imprisonment. More specifically, it’s a war crime.
I would have been okay with her having shot them all in the face so that they never return home safely that night.
This video has apparently been making the rounds. Before we go any further, let me stipulate that I don’t know with certainty if this is really CAG or somebody playing tacticool during weekend at Bubba’s. It is alleged to be CAG. No one in the thread seems to be questioning that, and in fact, they seemed to think it’s pretty cool.
On the other hand, I’m appalled. It looks amateurish and silly. They hop off of a helicopter and clop around like cows for close to half a minute, making as much noise with the machinery and footsteps as possible. The players aren’t alerted to any presence despite the massive noise avalanche, they’re standing still, there are no trip wires to kill the team, they are out in the open with no cover or concealment, and it’s broad daylight.
If this was really a CAG practice mission, I would have expected face paint, no reflective lenses, dark clothing, entry by night along a treeline, use of NODS, and quiet approach to room entry execution that went off in two to three seconds and the rest of the building cleared in under ten seconds.
When my son was in the Marine Corps, including live fire shoot house training, when the training included Marine-on-Marine shooting they used chalk rounds. Those hurt from what I understand.
Why weren’t the actors moving? Why weren’t the actors shooting back with chalk rounds? Why wasn’t this real training rather than a waste of time and gasoline for the helicopter?
So as I stipulated, I don’t know with certainty that this is CAG. It could be weekend at Bubba’s. Somebody who can track this down please tell me this isn’t really CAG?
This is a pretty good review of the Beretta 1301. The “plasticky” feel could be helped by use of Aridus Industries parts and a Magpul stock and forend, like Langdon Tactical does when they modify the gun.
This would explain the massive hemorrhaging one medical professional has been telling me about in surgery. This video comes via correspondent Jeremy Proctor.
A South Carolina gun store owner faces an involuntary manslaughter charge after police said he shot one of his employees in the face in an attempted prank.
Jon Whitley, who owns Coastal Firearms in the Wando area, was arrested Monday nearly a month after the death of Stefan Mrgan.
Authorities found Mrgan inside the store’s lobby with a gunshot wound to his lower face on Nov. 2, news outlets reported.
A police affidavit states that Whitley placed a replica Glock BB gun among real firearms in the store with the intent of pranking Mrgan. Instead, Whitley mistakenly picked up and fired a real gun at Mrgan, according to an incident report.
Whitley is a retired major in the South Carolina National Guard and former reserve deputy for the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, The Post and Courier reported.
Mrgan, 36, was a former member of the Army Special Forces, according to the newspaper.
Court records show Whitley was granted a $15,000 personal recognizance bond by a judge Monday.
So in addition to the other rules of gun safety, for the idiots among us, we can add “Do not play pranks with guns.”
Actually, I think that’s covered under the first four.
