Lou Dobbs Decides Who/Why Can Be Pro-Gun

Fear-monger Lou Dobbs and Bill Tucker are scared that President Obama's regulatory "czar", Cass Sunstein, is going to take away our guns.
Here's why:

DOBBS: And the czar here, Cass Sunstein -- I mean, what's his deal?

TUCKER: He's a vegetarian, and he believes that hunting ought to be banned.

DOBBS: So, he's not big on hunting.

TUCKER: He's not big on hunting at all. But he has openly supported the right of animals to sue. He believes animals ought to have rights...

DOBBS: I'm sorry, repeat that again?

TUCKER: He believes animals should have rights, which would include the right to sue if they have been mistreated.

DOBBS: If they were hunted.

TUCKER: Or I guess hunted.

DOBBS: If they were hunted -- really?

TUCKER: I can't explain it, Lou, I'm just telling you.

DOBBS: I just think we should let this sort of percolate, because, presumably, the president knows this man, knows who he put there...

TUCKER: Yes.

DOBBS: ... as the regulatory czar over guns. That's truly, truly interesting.

Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar over guns? Not exactly.

Sunstein has been nominated to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, whose role it is to review draft regulations under Executive Order 12866; additionally, "OIRA reviews collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and also develops and oversees the implementation of government-wide policies in the areas of information technology, information policy, privacy, and statistical policy."

Guns have NOTHING to do with the position.
_____

Apparently, guns can only be trusted with hunters and certainly not vegetarians/vegans!
Fuck off, Dobbs.

Kel-Tec <3s Michael Savage

Kel-Tec have teamed up with fascist douchelord Michael Savage to produce a limited edition .380 P3A pistol.

I can only guess the team up was to produce a beautiful weapon for those fighting against Michael Savage's stated enemies:
women, people of color, and homosexuals.

I don't know how much anyone reading this can or will put this info to use but it sure is clever.

The Firearm Blog is a great blog, by the way.

Gunfighter Cast

I have searched for decent gun-related podcasts. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them are completely infected by rightwing paranoia. I did find one that was entertaining, very informative, and useful for all skill levels.

Gunfighter Cast

The cast is hosted by Daniel and sometimes-co-host Justin. Both are US Marines and located in the Southern US. I will be honest, I might look at you funny if you suggest me listening to a show by two Marines but these guys know their shit inside-and-out. They sound like nice guys who just wish to share their knowledge of weapons.

Recently, the show began a back-to-basics series which is an excellent time to get into it. I also recommend checking past episodes' content via iTunes (or whatever) for topics which might interest you.

Turn Up The Heat: A Firearms Primer

Turn Up The Heat: A Firearms Primer For Anarchists and Punks by Felix Von Havoc was originally printed in Profane Existence #18. I got this version from Making Punk A Threat Again.

I have found it to be a very good introduction to firearms. Published some 16+ years ago, parts might be a bit outdated but it contains a lot of solid information.

Gun Club #1

THE GUN CLUB

This is a living document: Always open to critique and change. This is a beginning: Something to build upon.

My/our hope is to create an exchange of ideas, information, and skills in relation to guns and ammunition. Specifically, we want to share all of this as it pertains to the urban metropolis and without the reactionary political element too often associated with weaponry and defense.

It is imperative to embrace all skill levels; from expert to novice. Elitist attitudes will only alienate and isolate. As a non-hierarchical entity, there is no room for this type of division. Those with knowledge and/or skill are to freely share it for the common good.

Self-defense: Arms are to be maintained in the broad sense of “self-defense”: In defense of ourselves as individuals, our families (however defined), our communities, and our world.

As anti-authoritarians, we do not recognize any body as having natural reign over us. However, we do acknowledge the importance of recognizing, defending, and expanding the legal state apparatus that allows us to bear arms.

Forward.
