"Remember all those who denied that firearms confiscation as a result of New York�s new gun laws was too 'insane' to even consider?" ...
"There�s just one huge problem it is happening now in New York State!"
"It seems those that tried desperately to warn of such an insidious plot had hit the bullseye with their warnings after all. News came from multiple NY State based firearms enthusiast websites late Friday that confiscations of Pistol Owner ID Cards, as well as firearms and accessories has commenced in NY ..."
"Those folks having their weapons and FID cards confiscated have been discovered to have been prescribed multiple different types of psychotropic drugs, such as those for Depression or Anxiety. ..." ... |

"I would like for you to meet Beth Ferrizzi of Fargo North Dakota. She is an average American women who considers herself a law-abiding and even upstanding citizen. She is married to Air Force Master Sergeant Joe Ferrizzi and they are expecting their second child."
"Joe, who is deployed to Honduras serving his country, was recently able to meet Beth and their 6 year old daughter in Pennsylvania for a family visit. He also wanted to show her the Philadelphia neighborhood where he grew up. It was to be a happy family reunion between a soldier and his girl. What could be more American than that?"
"But now, she has an arrest record and is facing a felony charge that could imprison her for up to 15 years." ... |

"I was going to post Dom Raso�s commentary yesterday but the words got in the way. This morning I read a post that convinced me that Raso�s right: gun grabbers are lost in their masquerade. They believe that disarming Americans makes them safer. You heard that right. Not disarming criminals, although, you know, that too. Disarming civilians. They really believe it, too. And it�s not just ignorance. Here�s the money shot from rfij.com, quoting the Director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and oft-cited gun control advocate Dr. David Hemenway . . ." ... |

"The Truth About Guns does not encourage nor condone shooting another human being unless that someone poses a direct, credible and imminent lethal threat, and imminence is imminent. It doesn�t matter if the person or persons posing the threat are criminals, crazies or government representatives. Self-defense. That�s as far as we go. That said, war. Also: we�re not afraid to report the fact that gun bloggers (including yours truly) predict that slave state gun grabbing will end in tears, as the Brits are wont to say. Not without provocation but still . . . Over at naturalnews.com, Mike Adams takes it all a step further. What if the United States Supreme Court refuses to strike down civilian disarmament laws?

"The NRA, being by far the largest and best known gun rights organization in the U.S. (although the New York Times has recently discovered Gun Owners of America, whose positions upset 'the Gray Lady' even more), has long borne the brunt of left-wing hate against armed American citizens, and also the blame for every violent crime committed with a gun. Since the atrocity at Sandy Hook Elementary last December, that vitriol has risen in pitch and volume to levels never heard before." ... |

"Fashion-forward gunnies who simply adored the Ruger 22/45 Lite with its gold lam� upper and chic black lower will be depressed to know that the gold model has been replaced, at least temporarily, by an all black, bling-free, high testosterone, manly model. Well, why not? It�ll go with anything, including pearls. Personally, I liked the golden-toned 22/45 Lite. It didn�t look like every other modern pistol, which was a refreshing change. It didn�t look 'scary.' While hard men may abjure even a touch of flash, I thought that nontraditional shooters might be tempted into the fold by a brightly-decorated pistol in a nontraditional color . . ." ... |

"My wife is into quilting in a big way. This comes in handy at times, because whenever she says something to me like, 'just how many guns do you need?', I look in the room that�s filled with her sewing supplies and counter with 'just how much quilting fabric do you need?' We respect each other�s hobbies and keep our respective distances. However, our two worlds recently collided . . ."

Its claim to fame is a zippered pouch specifically designed to carry a pistol." ... |

"Reading one of the posts at TTAG today, I had an epiphany. If gun grabbers claim that places like Chicago and California suffer from seepage of guns from other states that causes their crime rates to rise, then why do the places the guns originated from have lower crime rates? Here�s why: it doesn�t matter where a gun comes from. Chicago and California have higher rates of crime because those areas are more conducive to criminal activity. Slow police response (if any at all in certain areas of the South Side of the Windy City) and unarmed civilians make those places criminal-friendly zones. The laws there keep people who abide by them unarmed and helpless, but they don�t stop bad guys . . ." ... |

"I find it odd that gun control advocates demand a plan for disarmament but don�t have a plan for dealing with a lethal threat�other than preventing it from happening in the first place by stopping criminals from getting guns (assuming that guns are all that�s needed to create a lethal threat) and paying cops to protect the public (i.e. mop-up) using weapons that law-abiding citizens shouldn�t be allowed to keep and bear.

'Nothing is going to be more important in making sure Congress moves forward this week than hearing from them [the families of the children slain at Sandy Hook].' Not logic. Not practicality. Not efficacy. The President�s speech kicks off more like an election rally than a civilian disarmament speech. 'I love you too,' Obama says to the cheering, adoring crowd. And then the grimaces.

"If you�re a 'low-information voter' who supports universal background checks (UBCs) avoid reading reports on the subject. Even the most fervently pro-disarmament media outlets are having real trouble making the case for UBCs�once they explain what that actually means. And how they would 'work.' To wit this from nydailynews.com: 'Even under the new restrictions, [Aurora, Colorado spree killer James] Holmes might well have been able to buy guns because he was not diagnosed as mentally ill until too late. But he dramatically illustrates why America needs a foolproof system for separating those who have been officially classified as mentally ill from weapons.' Huh?

The Senate�s top Democrat said he would be willing to consider any agreement covering universal background checks � the centerpiece of the new gun control proposals � if a bipartisan pair of senators could reach one. In the meanwhile, Reid said Tuesday that he would press forward." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. � Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
