Notes From HPS

Basically, Clinton is dictating the terms of surrender to American gun owners and presuming they will just roll over and take it, and that she will have the power to go door-to-door and enforce her demands when a critical mass tells her to go pound sand. If a growing “I will not comply” movement has made an unenforceable dilemma for issuers of edicts in Connecticut, New York, and elsewhere, trying to impose the same thing that doesn’t work locally on a national scale seems the definition of insanity writ large.
Yes, and the civil war that ensues would be bloody. But what the collectivists can indeed accomplish is to use their army of lawyers inside the beltway to add to those 50,000 pages of federal register every year with ever more onerous regulations leading to death by a thousand cuts.
That’s because, in spite of what some gun-grabbers would have us believe, the PLCCA doesn’t protect all gun makers and sellers from being sued for reasons that include six exceptions to the civil immunity protections, loosely summarized as: Transferring a firearm knowing that it will be used to commit a crime of violence; Negligent entrustment or negligence; Causing harm by knowingly violating a State or Federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of the product; breach of contract or warranty; Responsibility for death, physical injuries or property damage resulting directly from a defect in design or manufacture of the product; and an action by the Attorney General to enforce the Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act.
And at least its obvious to me that selling ammunition doesn’t fall into any of those categories.
Cuomo: Shut the government down over guns. For once I agree with him. Shut it down and don’t ever crank it up again.
Mike Vanderboegh:
Oregon Massacre: Part I
Oregon Massacre: Part II
Oregon Massacre: Part III
These are all well worth your time.

I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering…how’s your son doing?

Thanks for asking. Not so good. He’s still suffering trying to recover from very invasive surgery. I think this will take a long time. Pray for him (if that’s your thing and you do that). Again, thanks for asking.
