It’s your petard, after all: Mother Jones reporter videotapes/writes about committing multiple gun felonies in California

Written By: Bob - May• 24•13

Mother Jones reporter Bryan Schatz (that’s apparently/unfortunately his real name) went to a “build party” in California, and built an AK-pattern rifle in order to gin up anti-gun hysteria among his hipster peers.

In the free states and under federal law, building your own rifle is is absolutely legal. I have friends who have built firearms from nothing that are frankly far more impressive, but that is another story.

Unfortunately for Schatz,  he traveled from Colorado to the state of California and didn’t follow their (abitrary, absurd, etc) rules, and constructed his firearm in such a way as to make a prohibited firearm, which he also apparently disposed of illegally, according to one of his reader-critics who seems to know California’s law far better than Schatz.

Do you know how many felonies you just committed?  Just because you are a reporter doesn’t make you immune to these multiple CA felonies:

1) Owning a semi-automatic w/ a pistol grip
2) At 1:20 you can clearly see that the magazine lock is mounted too far back, allowing the magazine to be detached without the use of a tool.
3) You perform an improper disposal of the gun and leave it for the garbage collector. By CA law, that’s an illegal transfer since he didn’t go through an FFL.

I hope you get shafted by those strict laws you support, idiot.

I suspect Schatz is now attempting to claim the David Gregory defense, where liberal anti-gun activists aren’t expected to be held to the same laws as regular people.

Kick-ass Appleseed in Indiana in June

Written By: Bob - May• 24•13

I’ve really go to get off my butt and see if I can’t start arranging some cool sponsored Appleseed events like these guys are putting together.

Seriously… how do you top a full distance Appleseed, free ammo, and a chance to shoot the some of latest and greatest firearms on the market?

Free ammo, and the latest guns on the market. How can you miss that?

Free ammo, and the latest guns on the market. How can you miss that?

This is the first of our 2013 Industry Shoots and it is going to be a ball!

We will be spending 2 days shooting free ammo from Wolf Performance Arms and doing it at KD distances. We will also be carrying everything we use, and bringing nothing other than what we absolutely need.
Each attendee gets 250 free rounds of ammo for their own rifle and on Sunday we will get the chance to test out some 308 Veprs, some .223 Tavors, and some other rifle goodies coming along to us with our sponsors who will be at the shoot.

This is a very exciting bit of news and there are only 40 slots. We expect the event to fill up very quickly as there is no previous attendance required and even though we will try and keep any of our instructors from signing up as shooters – the 40 slots will fill up pretty quick.

The requirements & rules for the event are specific since it is on a US army base and they have to be followed to the letter. You can find them here:

https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=35705.0

Come and find out what your rifle can do when it gets to lay in grass and dirt; not on a mat.
Come and find out what your gear can do when you have to keep it to a luggable minimum.
Come and fine out what you can do when you have to walk it and you for two full days.

Move quick or lose your chance at this unique event opportunity and the free ammo that comes with it!

I've always wanted to try a semi-auto 7.62x54R, and the Tavor is just gravy.

I’ve always wanted to try a semi-auto 7.62x54R, and the Tavor is just gravy.

Opportunities like this rarely come around, and space is limited. There are just 12 slots left as I post this. If you live anywhere near Indiana, I’d suggest jumping on this today.

Register here.

New York District Attorney refuses prosecution in first arrest under unconstitutional NY SAFE act

Written By: Bob - May• 24•13

Columbia County District Attorney is showing the sort of intestinal fortitude that died in Albany and New York City long ago, and has effectively told Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the treasonous legislature to get bent:

The Columbia County District Attorney is making good on a promise not to prosecute a man arrested under the SAFE Act.

DA Paul Czajka told NewsChannel 13 he would not prosecute Gregory Dean Jr.

Dean was pulled over earlier this month after police say the light over his license plate was out.

Police say he also had a gun in his car.

While they say it was possessed legally, it had nine rounds of ammunition, which exceeds the state’s new limit of seven rounds.

I have no idea of Paul Czajka’s politics, but I like his background. Think there is any chance we could get a guy like him in the governor’s mansion and turn New York back into a free state?

The man who armed America

Written By: Bob - May• 24•13

My latest post, Barack Obama, World’s Greatest Gun Salesman is up over at PJ Media. Check it out… the raw numbers might surprise you.

We’re winning the war numerically over the past half decade or more, but we’ve got to do a much better job of fighting the culture war regarding the perception of guns and gun owners in society. Shockingly, I have some thoughts on that, and I’m going to see what I can do to help the industry promote the culture that I frankly think they’ve missed on so far.

If Barack Obama had a son, he’d be a school-skipping, drug-abusing, gun-weilding, MMA-wannabe who picked a fight with the wrong guy

Trayon with a mouthful of smoke.

Trayon with a mouthful of smoke.

Yeah, so about Trayvon:

George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys on Thursday released photos and text messages from 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s cellphone ahead of a hearing that will determine whether they can be used at Zimmerman’s murder trial.

…

The photos show Martin blowing smoke and extending his middle finger to the camera. The photos also show a gun and what appears to be a potted marijuana plant.

In the text messages, Martin tells a friend that his mother has told him he needs to move out of her house and move in with his father since he was caught skipping school.

Trayvon with his hands on a Smith & Wesson Sigma or variant.

Trayvon with his hands on a Smith & Wesson Sigma. Sorta. He knew how to hold a gun about as well as he knew how to throw a knockout punch.

The more we learn about Trayvon Martin, the more it seems obvious that he wasn’t a cherubic boy with a bright future ahead of him. He was a drug abuser with no ambition, who likely would have ended up in prison or the morgue sooner rather than later even if he hadn’t chosen to confront George Zimmerman on a rainy February night.

When the case against Zimmerman is thrown out, there will be riots.

All for the sake of an ill-chosen symbol, bolstered by an incompetent President that doesn’t know when to keep his fool mouth shut.
