Notes From HPS

It’s more than plausible that of the portion that would not be shipped overseas, at least some would end up in killers’ hands here in the U.S., available for appalling mayhem. Why, after all, would an arms smuggler just sit on the weapons, which would thus not be making him any money, and would instead just expose him to the risk of arrest and prosecution?
Does anyone think that had that indeed happened, Yee would not attempt to exploit the ensuing carnage as justification for more “gun control”?
Well, it seems to be the collectivist’s modus operandi.
Case in point, since OSHA is mentioned as a possible catalyst in Thursday’s Bozeman raid by other agencies, this column warned back in 2009 that Obama’s pick to head the agency, David Michaels, was strongly anti-gun and committed to using regulatory schemes to get his way. At the time of his nomination, this column advocated organized opposition, including scoring confirmation votes against gun group ratings and contacting the appropriate Senate committee, even reminding readers of Michaels’ organizational connections with George Soros (himself a backer of draconian international citizen disarmament efforts).
I’ve warned you about the executive branch of the government and legislating by federal register notice. This is a corollary. They send the regulators in and fine you, shut you down, and make it impossible to do business. They may even send an armed team after you for breaking the rules they wrote without the consent of the Congress.

PTR makes its first rifles in South Carolina. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times. Smith & Wesson, Rock River Arms, Remington, Mossberg … what are you waiting for?
Some genius named Rachel Stella is asking about Georgia’s new law, and whether it’s okay to have guns on God’s property. I’m in favor of guns on God’s property, and oh, by the way, the posing of the question assumes a chasm between the sacred and secular. The Psalmist says that the “cattle on a thousand hills belong to God” (Psalm 50:10), or in other words, we’re just stewards. He owns everything. So that about covers it for me. Guns everywhere.
