Another victory for advocates is likely to be a requirement for all licensed dealers and manufacturers to report to federal authorities any guns that are stolen in transit to a buyer as missing from their inventory. Currently, advocates say, thieves often target packages addressed to gun retailers in the hopes of stealing unregistered guns that are harder to trace. And while buyer and seller might sort out refunds or replacements on their own, they’re not required to report the missing guns to the National Crime Information Center.

If this is true, it shows how ready this administration is to spread a thick layer of BS: It is already a requirement to report lost or stolen firearms by manufacturers, distributors and licensed sellers.

From the ATF website:

Any Federal Firearms Licensee who has knowledge of the theft or loss of any firearms from their inventory must report such theft or loss within 48 hours of discovery to ATF and to the local law enforcement agency. (Regulations at 27 CFR § 478.39a and implementing section 923(g)(6) require that the report of theft or loss be made by telephone and in writing to ATF).

Upon discovery of any theft or loss of any of your firearms:

1. First, call your local law enforcement agency to report the theft or loss. Contacting .the local law enforcement authorities is essential to the quick recovery of firearms taken in a crime. If the firearms are unaccounted for during inventory, you should make it clear to the authorities that there is no evidence of a crime and that the disposition of these firearms is unknown and may stem from a record keeping error.
2. Second, call the ATF’s Stolen Firearms Program Manager toll-free at 1-888-930-9275. They can also assist in the preparation of the Theft / Loss Report for submission. ATF will work with the local law enforcement authorities investigating the theft.
3. Third, complete the report form (ATF Form 3310.11) and attach any continuation sheets necessary (ATF Form 3310.11A) and mail it to ATF’s National Tracing Center. Be sure to submit the original form(s) to ATF and retain copies for your records.
4. Fourth, complete the report form (ATF Form 3310.6) (INTERSTATE) for firearms missing in shipment; reports can be taken by either party, the Shipper, Consignee/Receiver or the Carrier

As Dennis B. from Dragon Leatherworks (An FFL himself) explains: “they are playing to the low-information voter and the Moms Demand Something crowd that has no clue what the actual *laws* say.”

If you ask me, what we have here is dropping tons of make up to see if they can make the porcine look decent enough. Just like Moms Demand are celebrating loudly that some store chain in Texas will not allow Open Carry at its several locales but do not acknowledge the fact that they were unable to stop Open Carry altogether as they had promise to do. Sort of being in an accident and having to go to a hospital but announcing to the four winds they won because the manicure is still intact.

If this proposed executive order is real, then we can breathe a bit easier knowing it is all gonna be for show with no irreversible effect. Now, I do not discard all this crap as smoke curtain for other attempts at state and local level like Seattle’s tax on firearms and ammunition.

Remember, the beast is wounded and dying but it is still dangerous. Expect idiocy and vindictiveness.

A Glock with a hammer.

We all know Hollywood takes some liberties with firearms. Endless ammo, exaggerated performance, etc. The list goes on and on. I recently caught a blatant error in the Marvel movie ANT-MAN.When Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, confronts his old assistant Darren Cross, portrayed by Correy Stoll, Darren pulls out a Gen 2 Glock 17. He tries to shoot Hank Pym but has a malfunction.Here is a screen shot where the camera zooms in to show the malfunction.

I am going to start calling gun stores..OK maybe two gun stores of people we know and ask if they have Glocks with hammers like in the movie Ant Man.

Because if it is in the movies, it has to be true!

The Government? Ha! She Who Must Be Obeyed? Panic!

United States’s Gun Owners are members of the biggest Asymmetric Army in the World.

That should be a comforting thought to all Gun Grabbers.

Happy New Year!

And seriously, a much grateful thanks to the top “commentators” for the year according to WordPress:.

Jim, you should be writing your books, damn it!

I also want to thank J. Kb. for agreeing to leave his thoughts in my blog. Other than creating this site, inviting him to share with everybody what he feels about issues has been a great plus. I needed a serious writer anyway, I was more like the comics and gossip section of a paper and he is Page A2 and editorial.

And to everybody who took time out of their lives to stop and read the blog this year, our most sincere Thank You.

Now go have fun today if you are not working. If you are, be safe because you know the moron factor gets multiplied until at least 3 am.

See you guys in 2016.

28 out of the top 30 ‘murder capitals’ – and all of the top 24 – have mayors who belong to the Democratic Party.  They say that correlation is not causation, and in general I agree:  but that degree of correlation between the dominant political party in each city, and the crime rate in each city, is hard to explain away, IMHO.  Draw your own conclusions

Not saying a thing….

I followed the news of the San Barnardino shooting terrorist attack.  As I understand what happened, two radicalized Islamist Jihadis, Mr. Farook and his wife, planned and executed a massacre in support of ISIS.  Mr. Farook’s neighbor, Mr. Marques, bought the guns used in the attack, in clear violation of federal law.  Mr. Marques was also radicalized and a Jihadi, and he had planned with Mr. Farook and his wife, a different attack which they did not carry out.  To me, this was a clear cut case of radical Islamic terrorism.

To other people, it seems, terrorism had nothing to do with San Bernardino.  It was the guns that were at fault.  Of course, because it’s the gun’s fault, we must ban the guns.  That is the usual train of thought that leads to gun control proposals after an incident like that.

It’s something that we in the gun community have faced before.

At the time of this post, some 917 people have decided to up the ante.  It’s not just the guns.  It’s the pictures of guns, and magazine articles about guns, and advertisements for guns.  They need to go because… moral outrage.

A writer for the Willamette Week published an op-ed criticizing Cabela’s for an flyer advertising $150 off the price of an S&W M&P 15 Sport.  Somebody elese started a Change.org petition to get the grocery store chain Albertson’s (which just so happens to be owned by Cerberus Capital) to stop selling gun magazines.  That petition has some 916 signatures.

What is the logic behind this?  Well, the ad and magazines depict the brand and/or type of gun used in the San Bernardino.

I cannot wrap my mind around the craven, milquetoast, spinelessness that it takes wittiness evil and say “ISIS- SCHMISIS, the real problem is print media about guns.”  Forget terrorism.  Forget radical Islamic ideology.  Forget the use of social media by ISIS to recruit people.  Nope.  The greatest threat to America is hobbyists who like to read about their hobbies and stores that like to advertise sales to their clientele.  If we can only get rid of the magazines and advertisements, we will have peace in our time.
