Trolling anti-gunners with a $50,000 gold pistol . . . The Trump 45 Aims To Make Presidential Guns Great Again
In addition to its gold finish, the Trump 45 has its name engraved on one side and “45th President of the United States on the other and is made of steel “to aerospace tolerances and with artisan finishes.”
The grips are made from the American holly tree, and the trigger and front sight are made from 4-billion-year-old meteorite that, according to a statement released by Cabot Guns, symbolizes the “meteoric focus of the Trump Presidency and commitment to America.” …
The company expects the Trump 45 series to attract Trump fans who are keen on protecting their Second Amendment rights.
Or, as in Africa, it could finance the management and protection of otherwise endangered populations . . . Trophy hunting may cause extinction in a changing environment
Trophy hunting and other activities involving the targeting of high-quality male animals could lead to the extinction of certain species faced with changing environmental conditions, according to new research from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
Male animals with large secondary sexual traits, such as antelope horns, deer antlers and lions’ manes are often targeted by hunters for recreational purposes. Similarly, some insect collectors will pay high prices for specimens of animals such as stag beetles because of their large secondary sexual traits.
These well-ornamented individuals tend to be the most evolutionarily fit so if they are removed then the best genes are taken out of the population. The researchers predict that in some circumstances, when an animal population is faced with a changing environment, harvesting rates of as low as five per cent of these high quality males can cause extinction.
The study was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
Valerie Plame Wilson (or her HuffPo editor) tries out a new, scarier moniker for “assault rifle” . . . Enough With The Death Raffles
In the summer of 2016, we discovered that the United Way of Otero County, New Mexico was holding a firearms raffle that would put 108 firearms into this small rural community. The prize list included a sniper rifle designed to shoot a person from a mile away as well as an AR-15 assault weapon ― the weapon used in the Sandy Hook massacre.
As board members of the United Way of Santa Fe County, we urged United Way World Wide to put a stop to this firearms raffle as well as to the 13 other such raffles occurring throughout the country under the United Way brand. In 2017, we were relieved to see that United Way World Wide changed their licensing agreement to specifically not allow firearm raffles under their brand name.
Unhappy with this decision, United Way of Otero County separated from United Way World Wide and became Thrive in Southern New Mexico. In 2017-2018, they will begin raffling another 108 firearms including five AR-556/5.56 AR-15 assault weapons.
All eyes on Ginsburg, Kennedy and Breyer . . . NRA Statement on Maryland Gun Ban
The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court declining to accept a case challenging Maryland’s 2013 ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and standard capacity magazines:
“Maryland’s ban on commonly owned firearms and magazines violates our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. The court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller clearly stated that arms in common use for lawful purposes are protected by the Second Amendment and thus cannot be subject to an outright ban. We will continue fighting to ensure that the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Americans are respected in the courts.”
Funny how that always seems to happen when a country becomes a workers’ paradise . . . How Russians lost their own 2nd Amendment: The right to bear arms
The Bolshevik Revolution put an end to the free circulation of guns among the general public. The leaders of the uprising knew only too well what the masses were capable of, especially if armed up to the teeth, and moved to monopolize gun ownership.
In 1918 the Bolsheviks initiated a large scale confiscation of civilian firearms, outlawing their possession and threatening up to 10 years in prison for concealing a gun.
The only exception was made for hunters who were allowed to possess smoothbore weapons. Gun licenses, however, were strictly regulated and only issued by the NKVD, the police organization known for its role in Joseph Stalin’s political purges.

Gun crime soars in the UK? But that’s unpossible! . . . Offences involving firearms
Offences involving firearms7 increased by 27% (to 6,696) in year ending June 2017 compared with the previous year (5,269 offences). This was driven largely by a 25% increase in offences involving handguns (up to 2,791 from 2,224) and partly by an 18% increase in offences involving imitation weapons such as BB guns8 (up to 1,721 from 1,457), a 53% increase in offences involving shotguns (up to 652 from 427) and a 47% increase in offences involving unidentified firearms (up to 933 from 635). The latest rise continues an upward trend seen in firearms offences in the last few years, however, offences are still 31% below a decade ago (in the year ending March 2007; Figure 11).
Over the last year, over two-thirds (32 of the 439) of police forces recorded a rise in offences involving firearms. The force that showed the largest volume increase was the Metropolitan Police (accounting for almost 50% of the increase in England and Wales).

He chose…poorly . . . Police say deputy fatally shot intruder at her Detroit home
Police say an off-duty sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a man who had broken into her home in southwest Detroit.
The Wayne County deputy was inside the home when she heard a door being kicked in about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. The deputy told investigators she grabbed her weapon and fired shots at the intruder, who was armed with a pistol and wearing a black ski mask.
The man was struck in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene.
THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT SIG SAUER

The liberal pond scum can continue to use that term as much as they like. I’m now immune to it.
“If the central government has the authority to tell a state it must accept permits from all the other states, then it also has the authority to tell a state it may not accept a concealed permit from any other states. If the central government can do these things it can set up a national concealed carry permit scheme and in essence bring into existence a national arms registry. That is exactly where this is headed.” Attorney Richard D. Fry
Our federal Constitution doesn’t delegate to the federal government any power over the Country at Large to restrict our arms (CCW’s are a restriction). Accordingly, all pretended federal laws, regulations, orders, opinions, or treaties which purport to do so are unconstitutional as outside the scope of powers delegated. They are also unconstitutional as in violation of the Second Amendment.
So before ya’ll get excited about HR38 which is a nice idea, just that no delegated authority for FedGov to do it. CCW’s are you asking permission of your Government to exercise your right. Rights don’t come from Government.
Sounds like the author of the article was absent the day the taught the Constitution…oops sorry they don’t teach the Constitution in Government schools or law school, so it’s up to each of us to get educated, God knows our “elected” Representatives aren’t.

The central government has the authority to stop states from violating the 2A. That’s in Section 5 of the 14A. It also has the authority to make laws regarding the militia. Specifically “[t]o provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia.” Additionally, it has the authority to “make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” that power. Furthermore, it has the authority to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes: and to “make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” that power. The powers granted by the Constitution to the central government are limited by the Bill of Rights and other provisions of the Constitution.
H.R. 38 is a bill allowing people (the militia) to move from one state to another (a key component of interstate commerce) while bearing arms (one of the rights protected by the Constitution). The Congress has the authority to pass this law under Article I, Section 8, Clauses 3 and 16 (and probably others in that section) and Section 5 of the 14A. What exactly in the Constitution prohibits Congress from making such a law?
Sounds maybe you were the one absent the day the Constitution was being taught.
#13: Like Kimber before them, they’re abject trash now that Ron Cohen has been appointed CEO. You should avoid Sig like the plague.
One day I expect it will come out that he’s a double agent getting money from the Clinton Foundation to destroy gun companies from the inside or something. No one can be that much of a screw-up on accident.
That paintball gun buying guide makes me laugh, for 90% of players the standard rental type marker works fine, skill trumps equipment. I play a fair amount and am a fairly good player, I’ve owned the same, basically stock, Tippmann 98 for over 15 years, finally bought a Tippmann A5 3 years ago, and it’s pretty cool too. A I like to explain to middle schoolers when run church camp paintball that has a mish-mash of Tippmann guns the youth ministry bought over the years “Look, they all propel a sort of round object at 280 feet per second the exact same way, so just take one They all work just fine.” But somehow, my gun still “Hits harder”
So are all the Black, Hispanic and Asian folks that purchased guns while Obama was in office racist too?
Big whoops for them, loss of rights down the road for the rest of us
This is a little off-topic, although relevant. A black fabric “cell-phone” holster (mine is made by Proteck) is another viable carry alternative. With the popularity of larger I-phones, the somewhat larger size—which is perfect for a Kel-Tec or LCP—is so unremarkable looking that people just tend to ignore it.
This proves you should always carry one up the pipe when moving. Carry in an empty gun and you’ll be on the menu. You just never know when you might be lower on the food chain.
What you need is one of those .9mm handguns. They fit well into your watch pocket and are much easier to get to with one finger.
The PROBLEM, boy and gurls, is that the Texas church shooter WAS NOT convicted of domestic violence. THEREFORE, technically, he WAS NOT required to be reported to NICS as a domestic violence convict.
The UCMJ does NOT have a crime of domestic violence as an offence. The Texas church shooter was convicted of ASSAULT. Two counts, against his wife and child. A TECHNICAL difference that the military uses to LEGALLY avoid having to report a military member to NICS.
You want military members reported to NICS for assault of their spouses and children, there has to be CONGRESSIONAL action to change the UCMJ laws to INCLUDE a charge of domestic violence that is separate from a charge of assault.
Correct. The offense must have, “as an element, the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse, parent, or guardian, or by a person similarly situated to a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim.” 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33). Now there could be some tortured reading that “as an element” is only referring to “the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon,” but like I said, that would be a tortured reading. Also, having just read that, there are probably a lot of people on the prohibited list convicted of threatening the use of force without a deadly weapon, which would not make them a prohibited person.
If someone commits a misdemeanor assault involving domestic violence, but only gets convicted of regular misdemeanor assault, then that person is not a prohibited person.
But wasn’t he convicted of a crime that was punishable by more than a year?
Well that’s lets CAlifornia an out as the state does not issue permits
Here’s my hope. The judges who would move to overturn the lower court ruling knew they were in the minority. They also know that Trump will eventually appoint more judges that will be with them. So instead of voting to hear the case and see it upheld they moved to not hear the case knowing it will be back when the majority will move to overturn.
I despise the United Way. When I was in-house counsel for a Fortune 100, the senior management extorted money from the employees for their pet causes, and most prominent among these was United Way.
I refused to participate, which certainly didn’t enhance my rep as a “team player.”
The same management also extorted money for the Democrats in 1994. When it came time for me to make a pledge, I donated to the Republicans. What pissed everybody off the most is after the election when I framed a famous magazine cover depicting an elephant trampling a jackass and hung it on my wall.
Democrats, extortion and the United Way — an unholy trinity if there ever was one.
“The error in the (Devin) Kelley case was not an isolated incident”
That’s because there was no “error.” It’s the Air Farce’s policy not to report. It’s also the Army’s policy, which is why Jared Lee Loughner was able to buy his murder weapon legitimately.
I routinely skip over the pocket dump entries as I find them meaningless. I wonder how many others do the same.
That’s in bad taste. Says the ATF Agent that likes Jaegermeister mixed with Everclear in Dr. Pepper.
They could wait till late December and take a bus down to Wounded Knee.
Another great example of the government taking your guns so they can “protect” you.
“The work is funded by The Joyce Foundation.”
And nothing more needs to be said.
Yes, one would think the conclusion was already determined before the JF would pay for the study to come to that conclusion.
One more thing to say:
Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research
Doesn’t matter. My rights trump any projected reduction. That’s why they are rights.
“American Journal of Epidemiology” – Since I don’t have the time to read every study about gun control’s effectiveness, I just assume that every study done by doctors and such instead of a criminologist or economist is deeply flawed because if it isn’t deeply flawed, that would be a black swan event.
Canada aaaaaaa? Our weak neighbor never had the cahonies to breakaway from their British overlords. Makes me ashamed of those French Canadian ancestors😫😫😫
And no word on round count
at least we aren’t ambushed by auto playing videos, just bad reporting
A bureaucrat is a bureaucrat is a bureaucrat. His preferred solution to a problem is to ignore it in the hope that it will go away by itself or the person adversely affected will stop complaining. Second choice is to push to problem out of his jurisdiction so that he can deny that it’s his responsibility. Public school systems do this in cases of chronic bullying. So do colleges (e.g. Jared Loughner and James Holmes). It appears the air force does, too.
“I feel something hard!”
The takeaway quote from this waste of time.
Transcripts? Please?
Dose anyone know where they are made?
“GIVE us guns”…there’s yer problem India boyz. Your democracy sucks. Who knows what motivates a serial killer?!? Handing your gat over to a co-worker sounds very “gangbanger”😡😡😡
