Biden Never Misses a Chance to Push Gun Bans

Over the weekend through Independence Day the nation saw more shootings in several metropolitan areas. It happens somewhere in America every single weekend. Biden's answer? Ban so-called "assault weapons", so-called "high capacity magazines" and universal background checks. The usual gun ban talking points. On radio last night, talk show host Mark Levin took these on and explained what is really at work, control.  That's what they want.  They don't care about you or our right to defend ourselves.  Take a listen below.

Biden constantly repeats lies about his gun control, lies that even and CNN has fact checked and said were untrue.  Gun owners need to remain active to push back on the constant attacks.  Use the information in the audio above and from the CNN fact check and write letters to the editor to your local paper and get the message out that law abiding gun owners are not the problem.

Dave Kopel on the Costs and Consequences of Gun Control

Today, the Cato Institute published a monograph by Dave Kopel titled "The Costs and Consequences of Gun Control."  It is a very thorough look at three of the so-called "common-sense" measures that President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and groups like Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety point to as a remedy for mass shootings.  Kopel looks at "universal" background checks, a ban on so-called high-capacity magazines, and a ban on the equally misnamed assault weapons. He describes why all three are misguided and explains why none of them will prevent mass shootings. Kopel notes in his introduction to the paper that policymakers instead can take some steps to incapacitate certain mentally ill persons who are potentially violent. He also reminds us that "it would be wrong not to acknowledge that gun laws often cannot stop a person bent on murder", and it is futile for policymakers to pretend otherwise. The monograph is a must read for pro-rights advocates who wish to counter the claims of the gun ban crowd.

Update:  On Wednesday, Kopel spoke with Cam Edwards of NRANews.com about the monograph.

Gun Control Proposals to be Released at UVA December 2nd

A group of leading gun ban advocates will convene at the University of Virginia on Monday, December 2nd, to propose "specific state-level policy recommendations" they say are designed to keep firearms out of the hands of those most likely to commit violence.

Among those slated to participate are Lt. Gov.-elect Ralph Northam, state Sen. Donald McEachin; Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence; and gun ban advocate and member of Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe's Transition Team, Lori Haas.

Given this line up, look for the usual proposals such as so-called "universial" background checks, bans on ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds, and so on and so on.

The event will be live streamed from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM. at http://new.livestream.com/UVABattenSchool/events/2565671.
