registration - The War on Guns

Do You Come from a Land Down Under

Calls to establish a National Firearms Register have been stalled by economic disputes between Canberra and the states. [Watch]

Tommy Lee…?

I mean, it’s not like anyone’s putting up any real objections…

Unclear on the Concept

Sailor Wins Right to Register Guns … Today marks another significant victory for the Second Amendment in Hawaii… [More]

Inigo is unimpressed.

Oops, Our Bad!

Virginia voter information ‘inadvertently’ shared, elections officials confirm [More]

I’m told “the Virginia State Police maintains a statewide database of CHP holders.”

But nothing bad could happen with such records, could it?

There’s an App for That

China province forces people of faith to register on ‘Smart Religion’ app for worship [More]

Another benefit of background checks and registration!

These people are getting more and more like American universities every day.

The Look at Me I’m On Your Side Act

Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) reintroduced a bill which would require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to destroy firearm purchase records in their database. [More]

“Reintroduced”?

What are the chances of it passing this time? Does Michael Cloud know that?

The guy’s got a pretty good record. Hollow patronizing does not improve it.

Commonsense Law-Abiding Citizen Control

Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis have proposed a motion that would direct the County’s legal counsel to study the feasibility and legality of implementing a countywide gun registry. [More]

Tell me these people aren’t shaking in their boots.

Everybody else? Well, is there a DROS file that could be used to identify scofflaws?

Our Bad…

Investigators said they “did not uncover any evidence that the timing of the (data breach) was driven by a nefarious intent or was personally or politically motivated in any way.” [More]

As we’ve seen in a prior cover-up, there’s a huge difference between “no evidence” and “exonerated.”

In any case, say it really was systemic retard-level incompetence and negligence– in any rational organization, that would result in top-level firings followed by legal actions.

Dick Goes On a Fishing Trip

Dem Senator Targets Gun Group Over Its Secret Gun Registry [More]

In other words, he’s trying to sow discord to divide and conquer by embarrassing and coercing them into surrendering industry data…?

You kinda wonder what his end game is, and why Chris Wray agrees with him on guns…

[Via Jess]

Without a Trace

Boxes of paper records fill nearly every corridor of the ATF’s National Tracing Center, where agents are struggling to keep up with surging requests from local police. [More]

Still singing the same old song…

What they want, of course, is a national registry database traceable to legal purchasers that will by design exclude the illegal ones. Who but a deplorable hate-filled racist Nazi white supremacist could be against that?

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
