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…

Despite long odds, on Tuesday night, Barack Obama managed to turn in a State of the Union performance that was filled with more theatrical pandering than the event is typically known for.  Once again seeking to capitalize off tragedy by opting for emotional, rather than reasoned arguments, the President reiterated his support for increased background checks and bans on common semi-automatic firearms and their magazines, which he referred to as “weapons of war and massive ammunition magazines.”
As usual, Obama’s remarks were short on evidence that his gun control proposals would work.  Of course, that evidence is sorely lacking–and who would know that better than the experts at his own Justice Department? Read more

Gun Free Zones Option

“It’s reasonable to wonder, are people choosing gun-free zones to go carry out these massacres because they know they won’t be stopped?”state speaker Jase Bolger asked. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that such monsters that are carrying these out are going to gun-free zones to do their massacre.”  The  “Michigan School Protection Act” may allow teachers to carry concealed pistols in schools.  Details here…
