Music....Sweet Music

Only one more to go and then it's just down to improving the ones that are already on the books.

That sound you hear are Brady staffers working on their resumes. (Update: Well, what do you know? :) )

Welcome to the dustbin.

IL Gov. Quinn: Modern Day George Wallace

In the face of being the last state depriving citizens of self defense (unless you're a Chicago Alderman) Quinn digs in his heels and proclaims "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"

The excuses are weak and pathetic, just like all the opponents of CCW:

“Our streets need to be safer, and a concealed carry law would put first responders and the public at risk by allowing more weapons – hidden weapons – in public places."...
“In fact, by the time they get the gun out, it may well be too late. And to the extent they get the gun out early, they may well be causing pain and harm and damage to a family member,” Currie said.

The same nonsense trotted out before each and every other state passed CCW. Now just add one more reason Illinois is a laughing stock.

Double Standards for Doctors

In Florida, Gun Ban advocates screech that the AAP isn't allowed to push a political agenda to ban guns under the guise of 'Health'.

In Arizona, Gun Ban advocates are screeching that those adjudicated as healthy by Doctors and the Courts are allowed to own firearms.

And they lie about it in the process:

Double standards and dishonesty. Par for the course when trying to restrict civil rights.

And Then There Was One...

Now that the Wis. Assembly and Senate have overwhelmingly passed CCW (68-27 & 25-8), it's on to their Governor to sign it which he is expected to.

That leaves IL as the last state w/ absolutely no form of Carry whatsoever even if you include states like Maryland where only a few have it. All due to Chicago.

The so-called 'leadership' of state is an embarrassment.

SIH has more.

Chicago Gun Registration compliance matches almost exactly to SES :

NY Times: Ignorant and Lying

The editorialists at the NYT puts out an editorial, unsurprisingly, calling for more restrictions on firearms and attacking Rep. Issa for not doing the same. Again they ignore 150 pages of testimony to focus on him keeping the hearings focused.

That's the ignorant part. The lying part? Again the usual:

Three out of five of those guns were battlefield weapons that were outlawed here until the assault weapons ban was allowed to lapse in 2004.

They were neither 'battlefield weapons' nor were they 'outlawed'. And the Times (should) know this. If they don't, they shouldn't be writing about it. If they do, they're lying.

The 'Logic' of Gun Control

Federal Agency (BATFE/DOJ) knowingly allows thousands of firearms to be smuggled into Mexico w/ no real plan to track them. Gun Ban groups' reaction?

ProtestEasyGuns Protest Easy Guns

This whole mess demonstrates how America's weak gun laws don't go far enough to stop traffickers and criminals....

How can you reason w/ a mentality like that? And this isn't just some off the wall individual, this is the voice of the organizations themselves.

@CSGV Attacks Veterans, Runs w/ Crazy

SIH posted this morning about our favorite Brady punching bag and Joyce puppet attacking a Marine Veteran for touting his service while running for Congress.

Well the fanatics at the Coalition to Stop Gun Ownership doesn't think much of our military veterans either:

Is there anyone they DON'T have contempt for?

Stupid Laws in Illinois

Seriously guys? There was nothing more pressing last year in the IL Legislature than to ban 'Novelty Lighters'?

And being that it's apparent nobody knows about it, how many accidents have their been in the last year w/ them still on sale? How much time was wasted on this nonsense? How much of our tax money went towards it? To much, whatever it was.

Oh right, it was 'for the children'. Silly me.

Collective Myths

Dave Hardy's latest article presents more evidence that the belief of the 'Collective Rights' myth of the 2A is a recent invention used to promote gun control:

To an early 21st century observer, it might seem that the militia-uses-only
view of the Second Amendment had always been predominant, and the Heller and
McDonald involved dramatic legal change. In full historical context, however, it
becomes apparent that those decisions recognize the individual rights understanding that had prevailed from the Framing onward. The militia-uses-only approach rejected in Heller and McDonald was in fact a very recent creation of the lower Federal courts, which had been subject to scholarly challenge almost from its
outset.

And unlike the gun control lobby, this historical research hasn't been funded by advocacy groups pushing a pre-determined conclusion.
