How could I purchase the Tavor? Contact you or find a dealer who can order one?

I would also probably purchase the 9mm Lugar Parabellum conversion kit.

Thanks.

Yeah, Jim, an obvious error that I spotted right away, too. When I submit a column for publication, the titles are never included. The editor of the newspaper or online entity always has the job of composing titles. Thanks for the heads-up; I’ll let the editor know.

Glenn: You wrote an article for Ammoland with the following title: “Humane Society of the United States Medeling in Michigan.” Don’t you mean “Meddling?”

@RanWiz: Your statement about the word, “Regulated,” is deceptive. Let’s be clear about this. The word “regulated” is used in relation to a well regulated Militia, NOT in regard to regulation of arms: “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.”

Regulations of arms is an infringement.

Notice it does not say, “… the right of the army to keep and bear arms.” It says, “… the right of the PEOPLE…” [emphasis added] It is obvious from this that the word Militia does not refer to the army, but to the armed populace that are to be trained and at the ready.

Regulating the arms of law-abiding citizens is an infringement. And we, the People, have been putting up with infringements of our 2nd Amendment-enumerated rights for far too long.

Furthermore, your statement, “If the ‘pro-gun’ lobby does not accept reasonable positions then eventually additional erosion of proper gun rights will occur,” is ludicrous. Accepting “reasonable positions” is THE VERY THING that is allowing further erosion of the rights of the people.

To say that current regulations are insufficent is like saying America just needs a little more poison to get well. Current regulations such as gun-free zones are not reasonalbe and don’t work. No more poison for me.

World history has proved otherwise. Driving a car is not a right; to keep and bear arms is – and this right – the only one that protects our other rights – shall not be infringed. With 20,000 gun laws on the books already, who would belive another law will make people non-violent.

Second amendment uses the word, “Regulated” – current regulations are obviously insufficient. More regulation is needed to make the country a safer place. Guns on Chicago streets are sold illegally – this is obvious from every angle of research. The laws and enforcement of current laws are only two tools of the many that must be used to control gun violence. If the ‘pro-gun’ lobby does not accept reasonable positions then eventually additional erosion of proper gun rights will occur. Logic, not emotion is the path forward.

We register cars, why not guns? If a person is truly law abiding, and really has faith in the rule of law then there is no reason to fear registration of guns. Those who oppose registration seem to do so on the basis of fear of tyranny FROM our government. If this is truly a worthy fear, that is if tyranny FROM our own government is actually about to happen, then all is already lost.

Wow! Very cool, from one birder to another. I have a small tributary to the Looking Glass River on my property and have been seeing a Great Blue Heron fishing in it daily. And, last week I noticed large numbers of Eastern Blue Birds in my wildlife food plots. Hope they made it out of here before this storm, because food will be scarce now.

Just yesterday, I noticed the Great Blue Heron is fishing in the creek after a crust of ice had melted. It appears that the bluebirds have decided to move South now.
