Attempt at more Gun Control for Michigan
State Rep. John Townsend (D -Royal Oak) is poised to introduce more gun-control legislation while Republican counterparts Republican counterparts in Lansing have already proposed laws that essentially would exclude Michiganders from similar calls for more gun control from the Obama administration. I just wish Mr. Townsend and others of his ilk, can explain their interpretation of “…shall not be infringed.” Details of the misguided plan are here…

Firearms Owners, Industry Not the “Bad Guys” Sanetti Tells PBS
NEWTOWN, Conn. — In an extended interview with the PBS Frontline program, Steve Sanetti, president and CEO of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, emphatically says that the nation’s firearms owners and firearms industry are not responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms and, consequently, should not be subjected to the severe restrictions being considered by Congress and many state legislatures. “[Firearms owners] are not the bad guys. The industry isn’t the bad guys,” said Sanetti in the interview. “Insofar as we can help the situation we want to be able to help. But that doesn’t mean piling meaningless restrictions and onerous conditions upon people who want to exercise their rights and just enjoy what they do peacefully.” Read more
Texas Bill would Block Police from Enforcing Federal Gun Laws
Under a measure advancing in the Texas Capitol, local police officers could be convicted of a crime for enforcing any new federal gun control laws.
Michigan Teachers Offered Professional Gun Training
Livingston County (MI) teachers have an opportunity to be professionally trained in the defensive use of handguns through a group wanting to prevent school mass killings. In the piece some reluctant teachers worry about the cost of liability insurance and the possibility of accidents and the possibility of students stealing teachers’ guns would be a recipe for disaster.
I thought we already have a recipe for disaster: Gun-Free Zones!
Missouri Proposal to Destroy or Surrender Firearms
Missouri Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy firearms including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with fixed magazines that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.
Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them. Man that’s a relief! The innane idea is here…

Montana Police Stand Against Obama and Feds
You may have heard who police are supporting more gun control measures, as proposed by Obama. But, what we fail to see presented by the national media is that only certain sheriffs support gun control – appointed sheriffs, that is. You see, those that have been appointed fear reprisals, if they don’t follow in the footsteps of gun-grabbing superiors. On the other hand, law enforcement officials, who have been elected to office, hold another view and understand what “…shall not be infringed” actually means. Accordingly, they are standing tall in the face of more federal mandates. Montana is one such state and a “sheriffs first” bill has been introduced.
The so-called “sheriffs first” bill would require federal agents to get a sheriff’s permission before making arrests or serving warrants – or risk local kidnapping or trespassing charges. The details are here…
Wisconsin Democrats Introduce Bill to Outlaw Hollow Points
GW: I guess they’d rather people use full metal jacket bullets for everything. I wonder if they’ve ever heard of the dangers of over-penetration – as in through attackers and then walls. This type of legislation demonstrates, once again, how little gun grabbers understand ballistics and the subsequent and unintentional consequences of their dumb ideas. Of course, innocents will be killed with richochets, as well, because of the inherent dangers of non-expanding ammo. But, as long as they can “save one life” it doesn’t matter how many they sacrifice in the process.
The bill draft that provides whoever intentionally sells, transports or possesses any bullet that expands or flattens easily in the human body is guilty of a Class H felony. This bill would outlaw 99% of all self-defense ammunition on the market, including most hunting ammunition. Read what the whack jobs have cooked up here…
