Well, we can add another person to our list of honest liberals. Jamelle Bouie, chief political correspondent for Slate, just authored a piece that says it is downright silly to fixate on so-called assault weapons and to try to deny people their 2nd-Amendment rights based on the TSA’s no-fly list.
“Although well-meaning—supporters genuinely want to keep military-style weapons ‘off the streets’ and guns out of the hands of suspected threats—both measures are wrongheaded.”

San Francisco's Last Gun Store Closing Doors for Good  
The only gun store in San Francisco is shuttering for good, saying it can no longer operate in the city's political climate of increased gun control regulations and vocal opposition to its business.

"It's with tremendous sadness and regret that I have to announce we are closing our shop," High Bridge Arms manager Steve Alcairo announced in a Facebook post on Sept. 11. "It has been a long and difficult ride, but a great pleasure to be your last San Francisco gun shop."

Alcairo said the breaking point came this summer when a local politician proposed a law that would require High Bridge Arms to video record every gun sale and submit a weekly report of ammunition sales to the police. If passed, the law would join several local gun control ordinances on the books in a city still scarred by the 1993 murder of eight in a downtown high-rise and the 1978 assassination of Mayor George Moscone and gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

Teacher Arrested: Fired Warning Shot At 9 Men Threatening To Gang Rape His Fiancee  
Chris Harris is a Sunday School teacher (Ohio County, West Virginia) returning home from church on Sunday. On the way back home, he says nine men surrounded him and threatened to rape his fiancée, CC Roxby. They were looking for a fight.

Both Chris and his fiancée called this experience the scariest moment of their lives. Feeling their lives were threatened, Chris used his concealed weapon to fire a warning shot. Police cruisers came by and arrested Chris for “wanton endangerment”. What about the gang of 9? Well, the police officers didn’t follow them.

Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also present.

The girl’s father and mother witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men. The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.

Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.

Georgia governor signs 'unprecedented' bill expanding gun rights  
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Wednesday signed legislation significantly expanding gun rights in the state. 

The bill, described by the National Rifle Association’s lobbying arm as "the most comprehensive pro-gun reform legislation introduced in recent state history," expands the scope of public places where licensed owners are allowed to carry firearms. 

The bill makes several changes to state law. It allows those with a license to carry to bring a gun into a bar without restriction and into some government buildings that don't have certain security measures. It also allows religious leaders to decide whether it's OK for a person with a carry license to bring a gun into their place of worship.

Interim Ukrainian Government Orders Its Citizens Disarmed  
Once in power, Yatsenyuk announced last week that all citizens were to be disarmed, in order, he said, to help maintain order and assure a peaceful transition to a new government once the elections were held. The deadline for turning in all weapons was set for the very next day, the same day Yatsenyuk was to sign an agreement with Brussels to obtain desperately needed financing. Part of that agreement is that the citizenry — the protesters who had forced the resignation of one dictator and unwittingly had replaced him with another — be disarmed.

MILLER: Exclusive — Shock verdict — Mark Witaschek guilty of possessing muzzleloader bullets in D.C.  
In a surprising twist at the end of a long trial, a District of Columbia judge found Mark Witaschek guilty of “attempted possession of unlawful ammunition” for antique replica muzzleloader bullets.

Judge Robert Morin sentenced Mr. Witaschek to time served, a $50 fine and required him to enroll with the Metropolitan Police Department’s firearm offenders’ registry within 48 hours.

Mr. Witaschek’s attorney Howard X. McEachern shook his client’s hand and said, “We’re not done.” Mr. McEachern plans to appeal the decision.

Massive Georgia gun-rights bill passes legislature at last minute (VIDEO)  
House Bill 60
 was introduced into the state House over a year ago before finally passing that body on Feb. 13, 2014 by a landslide 167-3 vote. Then followed a month of being passed back and forth between the Georgia House and Senate with various amendments clarifying the measure’s sections on legalizing suppressors and allowing guns in churches.

The House, sending the bill to the governor’s desk, confirmed the final version, which passed the Senate on Mar. 18 by a 37-18 vote, Thursday.

Feinstein pushes for import ban  
It doesn’t matter that newly manufactured “assault weapons” haven’t been for sale to the general public since 1986 (thanks to President Reagan) nor that the 2nd Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with “sporting purposes”. Nope, she is going full steam ahead with her lies and misinformation to push for any ban, restriction or infringement of our 2nd Amendment rights that she can get.

Conn. officials tell gun owners to relinquish or destroy banned assault weapons  
HARTFORD, Conn. –  Connecticut officials are urging owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish them to the police or make them permanently inoperable.

The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection announced Friday it had sent a letter to owners who had failed to register the items by a Jan. 1 deadline, part of last year's gun control law. Officials offered advice on what to do now with the weapons and magazines.

The letter says gun owners are in compliance with the new state law if their items are no longer in Connecticut or were sold to an authorized gun dealer.

Those who fail to comply face charges of possessing an unregistered assault weapon and/or high capacity magazine.

Commissioner Dora Schriro denied rumors DESPP is confiscating weapons.

BAN BICYCLES: Fact, ‘More Kids Killed in Bike Accidents’ Than with Guns  
Responding to a recent report that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America (MDA) and Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) conducted about the dangers of guns in public schools, Northeastern University criminologist James Alan Fox said the annual risk of gun-related death in school is "well below one in two million," and "many times more youngsters are killed annually in bicycle accidents."

Sheriff Dean Comments on Federal Court of Appeals Decision on Cal. Concealed Weapons Permits 
Nature of Incident: Sheriff Comments on Federal Court of Appeals Case Decision Regarding California Concealed Weapons (C.C.W.) Permits

Location: Ventura County
Date & Time: February 14, 2014 @ 11:30 a.m.
Unit(s) Responsible: Sheriff’s Administration

Narrative:
A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit made a significant ruling regarding the issuance of concealed weapons permits and what criteria may or may not be used in denying a permit. California laws currently authorize citizens to carry a concealed weapon upon receiving a permit that is based on a showing of good cause to need to carry, having good moral character, and passing a background check.

The court has struck down the good cause portion of the current law. Our legal staff is actively reviewing the case to clearly understand what guidelines will now be in place. I will, of course, comply with those guidelines and make changes in our current policy as soon as the details are clarified.

Assemblymen Wilk, Gorell and Senator Steve Knight vote Yes on SB140 – Gun Confiscation 
The U.S. Constitution is to be the SUPREME Law of the Land (Article VI).  The 2nd Amendment states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  The 14th Amendment, Section 1 states:  “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.”   These two Amendments have “married” before as in the McDonald vs. Chicago case before SCOTUS in June 2010.

Constitution Check: What does it mean that there is a right to “bear” guns?  
The Second Amendment, at its core, spells out not one, but two, rights when it protects “the right of the people.”  There is a right to “keep” a gun, there is a right, to “bear” a gun.  There is an “and” between the two in the text, so that might well be taken as a significant indication that these are separate rights.

McDonald v. Chicago: NRA's Argument Prevails as Supreme Court Applies Second Amendment Nationwide 
On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court of the United States, in McDonald v. City of Chicago—a case challenging handgun bans in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois—ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense nationwide.

The Court's majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas concurring in whole or in part. These five Justices also constituted the 5-4 majority in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), in which the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects a pre-existing, private, individually-held right to keep and bear arms, without regard to a person's relationship to a militia, and that the District of Columbia's bans on handguns and on keeping firearms assembled within the home were unconstitutional. Dissenting in McDonald were Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Paul Stevens, all of whom dissented in Heller, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, recently appointed to the Court by President Barack Obama.
