Eric Holder explains how gun owners can enjoy their Second Amendment rights with “techno” guns costing over $1000 more each – never acknowledging that guns are used for defensive purposes millions of times each year. Like it never happens.
The Washington Post has this piece on the concept to jack up gun prices so much, it will cause gun control – Washington style – because people will no longer be able to afford them. Nothing new here.
Holder’s twisted logic is below:
Secretary of State spokesman Fred Woodhams said their offices would still serve a person lawfully carrying a pistol. Next time. Video of a man open-carrying that got hauled off is here…

In April of 2013, the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) gave away 30 brand-new guns through their “Gun-A-Day” promotion. The organization plans to repeat the giveaway this year.

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on behalf of their members against the State of California in Fresno Superior Court to prevent enforcement of the state’s microstamping law. The state statute enacted in 2007, but not made effective until May 2013, requires that all semiautomatic handguns sold in the state not already on the California approved handgun roster incorporate unproven and unreliable microstamping technology.

Being good Americans, we take the position that anyone who is arrested and charged with multiple crimes is innocent until proven guilty. That’s more than California state senator Leland Yee (D) has done for gun owners in the past. In August 2012, Yee said “no one will convince me it’s anything other than a joke to say that having multiple clips and semi-automatic weapons that can shoot 100 or more bullets at a time is necessary in this state or in this country, it’s ridiculous.”
Now, Yee has other things with which to concern himself, and none is a joking matter.
The San Jose Mercury-News reports that “Yee now is accused of consorting with notorious felons, accepting money for his cash-strapped political campaigns in exchange for favors and promising undercover FBI agents he could deliver connections to international gun runners.” Additionally, he “is depicted in a startling, 137-page FBI affidavit of repeatedly offering to broker illegal firearms sales in exchange for campaign contributions,” and he is “linked to a host of wrongdoing to pad his political war chest, charged with seven felonies in a case with two dozen defendants accused of everything from money laundering to murder-for-hire.” Read more

GW: This is really some whacked-out “logic.” A handgun for self-defense is meant to stop a bad guy, but the liberal 9th Circuit Court ruled that hollow-point bullets are illegal. It’s beyond reason and the sorry details are here…
