Gun Bills Pass in New Jersey

From ANRPC:

This afternoon, the New Jersey Assembly passed 4 gun bills, as follows:

A3797(Requires NJ State Police to disclose confidential ATF trace data in violation of federal law).Â This bill now moves to the Governorâ€™s desk.

A3796(Reopens “assaultâ€ firearms compliance window for only 180 days; fails to allow compliance for prohibited magazines and ammunition).Â Â This bill now moves to the Governorâ€™s desk.

A3583(Creates school security task force).Â This bill now moves to the Governorâ€™s desk.

A3717(Submits mental health records to NICS â€“ no stated requirement of due process).Â Â This bill was amended today and will have to be reconsidered by the full Senate (next scheduled meeting is currently May 30^th).

Major state house activity is not anticipated until the next full Senate floor vote.

Additional updates and action alerts will be forthcoming.

Is that it? If that’s it, you guys got off a lot lighter than I would have figured.

“Cat’s Ot of the Bag and Running”

So Dave Hardy reports on the latest effort to improve on 3D printing of firearms. I’ll be impressed if someone can make a 3D printed revolver or semi-auto.

Prosecutorial Discretion in DC

Apparently they have heard of it, for people who aren’t David Gregory. Of course, the fact that this guy, who shot a Pitbull attacking a child, still has to face a fine is still a travesty. We’re dealing with a guy who has no record, who is an upstanding citizen that did the right thing. The gun was legally purchased in Virginia when he lived there. Gun rights in DC are only for the rich. I guess he’s gotten the message now.

Brady Adds Voices Against Violence

Perhaps in an effort to appeal to a demographic that does not already have one foot in the grave, the Brady Campaign will have Snoop Dogg call you, and help connect you to your Senators, and not just Tony Bennett.Â Personally, I think Tony Bennett was probably more appropriate, given the Brady target demographic.

UPDATE: Uncle offers an appropriate name change, “The Brady Campaign to Cling to Relevancy.”

IRS Scandal Already Helping Gun Rights

A few days ago I mentioned that Obama’s troubles were good for our gun rights, because it meant the Administration had less clout and capital to push for his gun control platform. It would seem that is bearing out, though not quite in the way I expected.

A Shot Across the Bow

Kansas isn’t exactly a hotbed of activity for Bloomberg’s merry band of illegal mayors, but this looks like a shot across the bow to MAIG:

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â€” Kansas legislators are close to approving restrictions favored by theÂ National Rifle AssociationÂ on the use of state tax dollars to promote or oppose gun-control measures or to lobby local, state or federal officials on theÂ issue.

Remember last year that it was discovered that MAIG was using taxpayer money for paid city positions to promote MAIG’s gun control agenda. This would put the kibosh on that practice. Hopefully Kansas is just a start. I’d like to start striking back at Bloomberg and making him pay for what he’s put us through this year.

Not Valid in New York City

Slate has a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt’s carry permit issued by Dutchess County. Of course, being well connected and wealthy, I doubt Eleanor would have had any issue getting a carry permit from the City of New York. Average joe’s? Not so much.

Doping Charges in Shooting?

I kid you notÂ (link will auto play). I actually do believe that being fit makes one a better shooter, but doping in shooting? Really? I guess the Indian NRA is a lot more exciting, at least in this respect, than the American NRA — or even USA Shooting, which is the Olympic shooting sports association for the USA.

Brothers of Minor Celebrities a Big Deal if You’re the WaPo

Apparently a person whose opinion I don’t give a rat’s ass about is in favor of some gun control, and this is news because he’s the brother of a minor celebrity whose opinion I also don’t give a rat’s ass about.

A Clue This Struggle Isn’t About “Assault Weapons”

The powers that be in Colorado had Daniele Perazzi (yes, that Perazzi) arrested on suspicion of terroristic activities, because the cab driver apparently heard him talking all kinds of gun stuff. Â It’s not a good time in America to be a swarthy furriner talking gun stuff, I guess. And apparently we’re the ones who are racist and xenophobic. Yah, OK.

UPDATE: It would seem the veracity of this story could be in doubt. It may be a different Perazzi. It may not have happened at all.

UPDATE 2: According to Perazzi, this story is “devoid of any foundation and the news is completely fabricated.”
