Gun Sales Spike In June

By Aaron Smith July 7, 2015, CNN

Background checks for gun sales spiked 11% in June compared to last year, making it the busiest June ever, according to the FBI's background check data.

Last month the FBI conducted nearly 1.53 million background checks, which are required for all in-store purchases, but not for sales at gun shows or between individuals. That's the highest volume of checks in June since 1999, when the FBI started keeping track.
Gun background checks have climbed annually since 2003 with the exception of just three years, one of which was 2014, indicating a clear jump in gun sales.
Michael Bazinet, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun industry group, said the increase is driven in part by the influx of more women and first-time gun owners into the market.

"Will it take a church massacre in Ohio...?"

Guns Needed In Churches, Advocate Says 

By Darrel Drowland, Jul. 5, 2015, The Columbia Dispatch

While some have called for stricter gun regulations after the church shooting last month in Charleston, S.C., Chad D. Baus, secretary of the Buckeye Firearms Association, is espousing the opposite: End the restrictions in states such as Ohio and South Carolina on carrying concealed weapons (without advance permission) into places of worship, which otherwise become “no-guns victim zones.”

“There is strong biblical support for bearing arms for self-defense,” he said, but noted that many of today’s groups calling for more regulations are connected with churches. He criticized everyone from Pope Francis to Karl Rove to “President Barack Hussein Obama.”

“Will it take a church massacre in Ohio before the Republicans controlling the General Assembly do anything about it?” Baus asked. “Tell your legislators that places of worship shouldn’t be listed among the places where persons with murderous intent can take a gun, having full assurance that their intended victims have been disarmed by Ohio law.”

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush released 33 years of his personal income tax returns last week, posting them on his campaign website for all to see.

Why Walmart Will Keep Selling Guns

By MJ Lee, Jun. 25, 2015, CNN

(CNN)Confederate flags are off the shelves at Walmart. But still up for grabs: guns.

Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, was the first to announce plans this week to remove Confederate flag products from its stores after Dylann Roof killed nine African-Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church. The company was hailed by many for quickly responding to the uproar over the flag. But it has since come under pressure to also stop selling guns in response to the nation's latest mass shooting.

"I would hope that stores like Walmart would recognize the danger of having these guns displayed right next to an aisle away from microwave popcorn and and Xbox games," said U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat who has pressed for gun control since 20 children were shot and killed at a school in his state in 2012. "I'm not terribly confident that a 21-year-old Walmart clerk is going to sell guns responsibly or be able to give customers the kind of advice they need on how to responsibly use that gun."

The debate over the Confederate flag has also raised broader questions about where the line should be drawn for retailers that sell other questionable or offensive products.

Relentless Attack On 2nd Amendment

NRA Gun Blogs, Videos Web Forums Threatened By New Obama Regulations

By Paul Bedard, Jun. 7, 2015, Washington Examiner

Commonly used and unregulated internet discussions and videos about guns and ammo could be closed down under rules proposed by the State Department, amounting to a "gag order on firearm-related speech," the National Rifle Association is warning.

In updating regulations governing international arms sales, State is demanding that anyone who puts technical details about arms and ammo on the web first get the OK from the federal government — or face a fine of up to $1 million and 20 years in jail.

According to the NRA, that would include blogs and web forums discussing technical details of common guns and ammunition, the type of info gun owners and ammo reloaders trade all the time.

"Gunsmiths, manufacturers, reloaders, and do-it-yourselfers could all find themselves muzzled under the rule and unable to distribute or obtain the information they rely on to conduct these activities," said the NRA in a blog posting.

Man Shoots And Kills Armed Robber During Home Invasion (VIDEO)

By Bob Owens, May 21, 2015, BearingArms.com

We’ve seen people posting this viral video claiming that it took place in various locations in the United States, which is not true.

Here’s the real story, courtesy of Full30.com:

This attempted robbery took place in Brazil as a couple pulled into their garage. A group of three men hold the door open before it can completely close, and approach the driver side of the car armed with a handgun (seen at 0:37).

The concealed carrier in the driver seat noticed the man approaching and fired several rounds into the attacker. The criminal can be seen letting a shot off at 0:17 as he cowers against the wall.

The 32 year old man who was shot by the driver died from his wounds, and the other two men were apprehended by the authorities.

This is another prime example of a time when local law enforcement can do nothing for you. Your personal safety is your own responsibility.
