From Formerly Great Britain

November 18, 2009

A former U.K. soldier says he found a discarded shotgun and turned it in to police — and now faces at least five years in prison for doing so, ThisIsSurreyToday.co.uk reported.

Paul Clarke was found guilty of possessing a firearm Tuesday after personally handing it over to Surrey Police on March 20, the Web site reported. Clarke said he spotted the gun in his garden. – FOXNews

So, the obvious conclusion is just keep the gun, since you get jailed either way.

What’s funny about that is the very reason we’re not having to worry about gun banning efforts is because for a long time we HAVE worried about gun banning efforts. The only reason the Obama administration is so consistently disappointing the Brady Bunch and the VPC is the President’s correct assessment that to do otherwise is political suicide.

Quote of the Day – Easy to Opperate Edition

Quote of the Day – It’s the Thought Edition

May 13, 2009

You can be pretty sure no one has been killed or injured with a gun used for laser tag and permanent injuries with paintball guns are exceedingly rare. But that isn’t really relevant is it? It’s the thought that counts: – Joe Huffman

Standard problem with politicians: they would rather do something visible than do something useful.


Microstamping Bill Introduced in WI

AB-221 was introduced in the Wisconsin Assembly, which would require microstamping of all new semiautomatic handguns manufactured after Jan1, 2011.

Thank You

March 21, 2009

Steve Kagen, M.D. and Ron Kind, the two Wisconsin Democrat representatives who signed the letter opposing a new AWB. We appreciate your support.
