Nation Firearms Act, Screwing Over Those Who Comply Since 1934

Walls of the City shows us even if you try to comply with the National Firearms Act you should be bloody careful because purchasing the wrong accessory will make you no longer compliant. See Jesus Amador Jr. had a H&K SP89 pistol. He also owned a vertical grip for it which makes it an any other weapon under the NFA. But Mr. Amador is a good law abiding citizen and jumped through all the hoops to properly register the gun with the ATF.

The problem is that even though it was properly registered as an any other weapon he also possessed a butt stock for the pistol. Well he decided to sell the pistol with the vertical grip and butt stock attachments. What he didn’t know was the person buying it was an undercover agent and all the hoops jumped through didn’t mean shit. See because he had a butt stock attachment the gun needed to be re-registered as a short barreled rifle instead of an any other weapon. Mr. Amador didn’t know this and figured if he registered his pistol as an NFA weapon he was good to go. This sums up the story appropriately:

Well folks my name is Jesus Amador, you out there might just know me as Digitalage03, i recently met up with a prospected buyer for my sp89 clone pistol, well turns out the guy was a undercover cop and the reason he wanted to meet up with me is because he saw that i was selling the pistol with a stock as one of the accessories, which by the way it was never on the gun and it is legal to own, you just cant install it without a tax stamp, well anyways once i met up with him not only did i get slammed to the ground and had about 7 armed cops (one of which) had a loaded 12ga to the back of my head while on the ground handcuffed they also illegally searched my car and even had the balls to drive off in my car from private property to a public place so they can tear thru it before the towtruck came and got ,

Thankfully the police apparently fucked up big time with the arrest which is probably the only thing that will save Mr. Amador from a long prison sentence for having the gall to own a butt stock attachment for his pistol. Anybody who says the National Firearms Act is a good law and doesn’t affect innocent people is a fucking moron.

Lies, Damned Lies, and the Anti-Gunner Statistics

Joe Huffman shows us once again how the anti-gun crowd lies. According to a web site ironically containing the word logic in the title over 500 children die each year due to gun related accidents. Bad news for the anti-gunners, the Center foe Disease Control tracks such information. And of course their statistic is right if you redefine children to be anybody 54 years of age or younger. Once again the anti-gunners show they don’t just stretch the truth they redefine it completely.

Sure We’ll Lighten Up After You Stop Lying

Snowflakes in Hell brings us a rather amusing piece provided by the “un-bias” media. The media is telling the NRA (that would be us) to lighten up on the mayors. We all know Mayors Against Illegal Guns is an organization purposely named in a deceptive manner to increase their numbers. Over 50 mayors have been stricken from their roster already. The NRA has been pushing hard against them every since Bloomberg decided to push hard against the NRA.

Here’s my response to the media’s request. Sure we’ll lighten up the second you and Bloomberg’s posse stop lying about the purpose of the organization and who is in it.

Ron Paul Signed My Magazine

OK I have to post this immediately. I went to the student town hall meeting at the University of Minnesota campus. There representative Ron Paul was speaking and afterwards he did the rounds signing things. Here’s what I got him to sign:

Yes he signed my spare carry magazine which was loaded at the time. That’s how you test if a politician is pro-gun or not.

Connection Established Between Bloomberg’s Posse and the Brady Bunch

Wow Sebastian and Bitter from Snowflakes in Hell do amazing work. They have been taking the war to Mayors Against Illegal Guns faster than anybody else I know of. A great post there made by Bitter establishes the connection between Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Campaign. This is a big deal since Bloomberg is trying to make it appear as though his posse isn’t an anti-gun organization but a group only against illegal guns. Of course we know that’s not true.

Keep up the good work you two.

My Truth About Guns Podcast is Live

Set the way back machine to roughly a month ago. I mentioned I was working on a gun rights project that I was going to unveil shortly after I mentioned it. Well it’s been delayed a bit but it is now live. Truth About Guns is live and episode one is up and running.

The podcast is where I take anti-gun articles and use published facts to disprove the lies, half-truths, and statistical abuses. Each episode will have the citations I used posted on the website. Anyways more information is available on the podcast page so take a jump and have a listen.

In New York Dictators have More Right than You

Welcome to Mayor Bloomberg’s home, New York. Here the only people allowed to carry guns are the police, criminals, and foreign dictators. The latest episode of No Agenda started out with Adam Curry talking about the gun toting body cards of Libya’s own dictator. It seems Moammar Khadafy travels with an entourage of 40 to 50 armed women. Furthermore they will be in Manhattan for the United Nations General Assembly.

I hope you feel good about New York now because you, as a regular citizen, have less rights in that city than foreign dictators.

Why Firearm Registration is a Bad Idea

Rob Allen reminds us again why gun registration is a bad thing. It has nothing to do with controlling illegal guns or protecting the public. The only thing gun registration facilitates is later confiscation by the government when they decide you no longer should own guns.

A classic example is Nazi controller Germany. And before somebody goes shooting their mouth off about Godwin’s law you better look it up (it only applies when incorrectly comparing your opponent to Adolf Hitler or Nazis, not when bringing up historical facts). But the Nazis required the registration of firearms before World War II then subsequently confiscated them. Had the persecuted population of Germany (Jewish, gypsies, homosexuals, and pretty much anybody else they could blame for something) been armed it would have been much more difficult for the Nazis to enact their “final solution.” I’ll close this out with a great quote by the lat Jeff Cooper:

The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized.

Gun confiscation is the opening act to tyranny because without an unarmed populace tyranny can not exist.

Who Needs Guns for Protection When You Have Paper

That the question governor of self-defense hating Illinois asks. Via The War on Guns comes a story about a new bill that was passed in Illinois meant to help victims protect themselves. At least that’s what they say it means but in actuality it doesn’t. Recently passed House Bill 693 will allows the following:

“By allowing victims to obtain an order of protection early on from their predators, the problem may be resolved before it reaches that next level.”

Yup their idea of providing protection is to make obtaining a piece of paper easier. This is coming from the same state that says the best methods women can use to defend themselves are vomit, scream, or surrender. Notice how none of those three options will really defend somebody against an attacker?

I have a proposition for a method Illinois can enable to help people protect themselves against predators. Pass a bill that not only allows citizens of Illinois to legally carry a firearm but also make it a shall issue law. That piece of paper known as a restraining order won’t do shit if the predator decided to attack you. On the other hand I’m yet to meet somebody who won’t reconsider their actions when a gun is aimed at them and I’m yes to meet somebody who can continue an attack when they are dead.

Providing a means for the government to offer defense to people is useless if the government won’t provide body guards to those protected people 24/7. Passing laws that enable people to take responsibility for their well being into their own hands is worthwhile.

Remember it’s Citizen’s Guns that Cause Crime

I was browsing the BBC and noticed an interesting article in the UK section. It’s actually a movie about a man who illegally made guns for gangs. I just don’t understand this though since guns are all but illegal in the UK this man shouldn’t have been doing this, after all it’s against the law. Also remember that the guns of citizens were confiscated because that was the supposed cause of crime. Once you take everybody’s guns the problem of gun crime is solved after all, oh wait this guy proved that wrong.
