Guns on Campus

Oklahoma school to offer nation’s first bachelor’s in gunsmithing [More]

And unlike gender studies and race-hustling degrees, students can actually get jobs after graduation, so naturally, anti-self-defense political stool sample John Waldron is against it.

I wonder if Democrats will demand an exception on student loan “forgiveness” if that ever gets passed…

Bad-Mouthing Youth Shooting Sports Shows Brady Interested in Prohibition, Not Gun Safety

“What about injuries in Clay Target shooting? None. Since the High School Clay Target League’s inception in 2008, there have been no recorded injuries to athletes, coaches, or spectators. Ever.” [More]

It’s demonstrably the safest high school sport in the country. So leave it to the prohibitionists to stoke hoplophobia, with safety being the last thing on their minds.

We’re the Only Ones Hoplophobic Enough

Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]

I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives and Senate submit the notification to the federal government, the current presidential administration, and any future administration that any attempt to buyback, confiscate, or register some or all firearms, accessories, and ammunition will not be possible or necessary in the counties of Hunt, Hopkins, Van Zandt, and possibly other counties due to this series of alleged boating accidents. [More]

I was worried about environmentalcases having a fit, but we’ve got precedent courtesy of the “Only Ones.”

I don’t live in Texas so it’s a good thing I never had any guns in the first place. Nasty, evil things always going around killing people…

All the World’s a Stage

Stagebuilder is a free stage design tool that makes designing stages for matches and range training easy. [More]

I typically focus on rights, politics, and culture and don’t do shooting, hunting, and hardware here. That said, most of you have shooting interests outside of my meager offerings, so if this grabs you, have fun with it.

We’re the Only Ones Trying Enough

We would like to commend our Emergency Serviced division, Street Crimes Unit, prosecutors and judges for trying to keep the streets of Warren safe for our citizens. [More]

I guess that’s better than just scratching their heads.

Warren, for those who don’t know the town, is a place to move from.

Playing Both Sides

Politically, gun ownership in the United States has been seen as a Republican or conservative priority. And while Evans stays out of political debates and chooses not to reveal how she votes, she does tout herself as a supporter of gun rights. She prefers to keep her focus on instruction and reminding women of their right to boldly exercise the Second Amendment. [More]

So is she a short-term parasite, a long-term idiot, or just plain gutless?

Every Terrible Implement

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]

I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.

As noted:

The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”

And as noted:

Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’

Short Story

S. 4986: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act, and for other purposes. [More]

Seeing if he gets more than five cosponsors will be a good indicator of which Republicans really are “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment.”

That said, if they don’t take the Senate this is going nowhere, and introducing it now strikes me more as a pre-election publicity stunt than anything– even with Marshall’s term not ending until ’27, this still draws attention to the GOP and co-sponsor Crapo is running now.

Sorry to be so cynical, but I can’t figure out any other explanation.
