Thought for the week
There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

Browning has added the Pistol Vault 500 and Pistol Vault 1000 to its line-up. These compact vaults are built from 10 gauge steel - twice the thickness of most pistol vaults offered on the market - and include safe-like security measures for superior protection from break in. Security is provided by a recessed lid held tightly by a pair of tough ½" diameter locking bolts. An electronic four-button touch pad controls entry, is easily programmed with a custom entry code and uses eight AA batteries. A unique four-sided key opens the lid in the event the entry code is forgotten or the batteries fail. The pistol vaults also include external electrical contacts for use with a common 9V battery that powers the touch pad (9V back-up battery not included). MSRP Pistol Vault 1000: $219; Pistol Vault 500: $199.

MKS Supply, LLC, announces the new .380 ACP caliber Hi-Point carbine which is the same size as its larger-bore brothers in 9mm, .40S&W, and .45 ACP. It's hard-shooting, accurate and almost recoil-free. Its 16.5-inch barrel will launch .380 bullets as hard and fast as a full-power 9mm handgun, maybe even harder (when you add several inches of barrel over that of a handgun, you gain 100-150 feet per second higher velocity and possibly more with hot or +P loads). With the added velocity performance, the .380's effective range (the distance a shooter can expect to get reliable on-target hits) is extended to a couple hundred yards. For owners of Hi-Point .380 caliber pistols, both guns use the same ten-round magazines! MSRP: $297.

FBI Director:
No Problems with Concealed Carriers
FBI Director James Comey testified in front of a House panel on Wednesday to discuss the agency's 2016 budget, but he ended up making a profound point about the issue of concealed carry. At the end of the two-hour budget hearing, U.S. Rep. John Culberson (TX), chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Justice, asked Comey about the nature of his interactions with legal concealed carry permit holders. Before his stint as head of the FBI, Comey worked for more than two decades as a federal prosecutor.
"You mentioned earlier about criminals with guns; I doubt you've ever had a problem with a concealed carry permit holder who is licensed, with a background check ,using their good judgment," Culberson said at the end of Comey's two-hour testimony. "Could you comment on that as a law enforcement officer?"
"I haven't had situations where there have been problems with that," Comey said.
"With a concealed carry permit holder?" Culberson asked.
"No, not that I can remember," Comey said.
"That's a law enforcement officer's best backup, particularly if he's a Texan," Culberson said. [Source: The Daily Caller 3/26/15]

UNC Paper: Concealed Carry
Could 'Reinforce Rape Culture'
Allowing concealed carry on campus will only perpetuate rape culture, according to the University of North Carolina's The Daily Tar Heel's editorial board. In an editorial published on Monday, the student newspaper criticized the school's Students for Concealed Carry organization and claimed that the school's student group "took advantage of the national dialogue on sexual assault to push their own agenda."
According to the editorial board, concealed carry would only further place the blame for sexual assault on victims. "Like other items on the list of measures that would supposedly prevent attacks, guns would not address the causes of sexual assault," the editorial board wrote. "Even worse, they could reinforce rape culture because the burden of stopping assault would be further placed upon women." The opinion column also said that allowing concealed carry on campus would also "create the unintended consequence of increased homicides stemming from intimate partner violence."
"To reduce sexual assault, focus should be maintained on preventative programs that challenge rigid gender roles and promote healthy relationships as well as intervention trainings that teach peers to be active bystanders rather than on measures that will not solve the problem," the editorial wrote.
Meredith Allen, a junior political science and peace major, told Campus Reform that she disagreed with the editorial's premise that concealed carry promotes rape culture.
"I understand how the writer of the article might think that, but I grew up in an area where it was the norm to keep a gun in the glove box or for middle and high school students to practice marksmanship after school," Allen said. "Gun ownership was out in the open, not pushed to black market channels. It led to open communication about safe habits and the responsibility that comes with gun ownership. I believe there needs to be more education in society about the weight and responsibility of gun ownership, but I do not think the right to concealed carry should be limited nor does it promote rape culture," Allen said.

FDIC Head Admits "Mistake"
in "Operation Choke Point"
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg told members of a Congressional panel during a Tuesday public hearing that much of the FDIC's involvement in "Operation Choke Point" was a "mistake."
Gruenberg said the decision to create a list of 30 "high risk" industries that included firearms retailers should not have happened. The agency previously had withdrawn this list. NSSF has been working actively with members of Congress to stop discriminatory practices against FFLs triggered by this operation. At the hearing was NSSF retail member Mike Schuetz, owner of Wisconsin-based Hawkins Guns, who was told by his credit union that he couldn't bank with them because of guidance from federal regulators. "I feel saddened that we've reached a day and age that our government officials who are supposed to be holding up the Constitution are trampling all over it," Schuetz told The Daily Signal in an interview. Operation Choke Point's widespread implications were the subject of an insightful discussion on the Fox News Channel program, "Outnumbered."
During the markup of S. Con. Res. 11, the fiscal year 2016 budget continuing resolution, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) introduced an amendment to establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to end Operation Choke Point. The Crapo amendment was approved by a committee vote of 13-9 and the full Senate passed S. Con. Res. 11 with the Crapo amendment.

FBI Manipulated Crime Stats
to Show Increase in Mass Shootings
The Federal Bureau of Investigation purposely distorted its latest round of annual crime statistics in an attempt to make mass shootings appear more prevalent, an expert criminologist says.
John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, says the agency, which has stayed from bias in the past, appears to have edited the numbers for political reasons. "The FBI put out a clearly incorrect set of numbers on public shootings shortly before the November election last year," Lott told Fox News. "I have been reading FBI reports for 30 years, and I have never seen anything like this."
The statistics, published last September, claim that "mass shooter" incidents have seen a drastic rise between the years 2000 and 2013. "FBI figures released last September appear to show so-called 'mass shooter' attacks and deaths have dramatically increased since 2000," journalist Perry Chiaramonte writes. "The report asserted there were a total 160 such incidents in public places between 2000 and 2013, with attacks dramatically increased to 17 in 2013 from just one in 2000. The statistics also showed murders jumping to 86 from just seven over the span."
According to Lott, all reports of standard "active shooting incidents" were combined with actual mass shooting events, making the latter appear to be vastly more frequent.
After removing the manipulated numbers, Lott and the Crime Prevention Research Center say the revised statistics show a 50 percent decrease in the annual growth rate for homicides in mass shootings. |
ATF Director Resigns
in Wake of 5.56 Green Tip fiasco
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director B. Todd Jones announced this week that he is resigning. Deputy Director Thomas E. Brandon will serve as acting director after Jones departs. NSSF was aware that Jones was planning to step down, his decision likely accelerated by the overwhelmingly negative public and Congressional response to the bureau's now-withdrawn proposal to adopt a regulatory framework that would have banned 5.56mm M855 "green tip" ammunition. Jones was nominated by President Obama in January 2013 and confirmed in August of that year, the first ATF director in history to receive Senate confirmation. He had been acting director since August 2011 while also serving as U. S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Brandon was appointed deputy director of ATF in 2011 and has more than 26 years of experience with the bureau, serving as special agent in charge of the Phoenix and Detroit field divisions.
