Gun Stories of the Year...

Next week I'll be doing a "double feature" on the show and I thought I'd ask for your opinions. What were the biggest stories, the best, the worst, etc., concerning firearms and the Second Amendment? For myself, probably the best news was the demise of the phony "assault weapons" ban but you might feel differently, such as more states allowing concealed carry. So cast your votes in the comments and I'll take that into consideration next week when I do my year-end summery for my report, both here and on the radio show.

Definitely the AWB. And the studies by the CDC, NIJ, and NRC that conclude gun laws don't correlate with crime (yet they spin that to say ccw doesn't decrease crime).

Following in Uncle's vein, the DOJ memo stating that 2A protects an individual right.

Then there's the whole kerfuffle over the DC Gun ban. Esp., I think, the crap between the Cato and NRA suits. Seegars v. Ashcroft is the NRA-backed suit, IIRC. Triggerfinger.org has a ton of stuff on it. The Cato-backed suit I don't have a good memory on.

Liability. Beretta winning, for the 3rd time, in the liability lawsuit filed against it. But, the 9th reinstated a lawsuit against Glock. And liability legislation failed in Congress -- because of the AWB. A victory in Chicago: tinyurl.com/5fw3a - a victory for Ruger: tinyurl.com/59jfh Then there's Bushmaster settling on the Malvo (other guys name?) shootings. And Bryco tinyurl.com/5xuka

tinyurl.com/5tles US v. Stewart. OK, is hasn't been heard, but the fact that the Supremes granted cert. is pretty big.

California. Yeah, just California ... for all their moonbat thinking.

Angel Shemaya selling KABA to SAF/CCRKBA

tinyurl.com/5cppu The Oshkosh searches/confiscations. Hmm, dunno how that ended up.

10th Circuit says no individual right: tinyurl.com/7xkgm

AWBs in the states following sunset of natl. AWB. Pennsylvania, ???

More states get CCW, Ohio and ???

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
