“The regulation of guns in Myanmar is categorized as restrictive,” GunPolicy.org documents. That’s a globalist citizen disarmament project of the Sydney School of Public Health that partners with the World Health Organization and the United Nations, but which I nonetheless turn to in order to check on laws from around the world. In Myanmar’s case:

“[T]he right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by …  civilians are not allowed to possess any  … no civilian (except for ethnic Chin hunters)… may lawfully acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition … the maximum penalty for unlawful possession of a firearm is three to seven years in prison…”

What those in the media wringing their hands over Myanmar refuse to acknowledge is the citizen disarmament they demand, and the eradication of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever conceived, is what makes tyranny possible.

Those who want you to turn in your guns, have no intention of doing so.

News from Texas.

Vicki Baker had an unusual plea for police officers in McKinney, Texas, when she learned an armed fugitive had holed up in her home: Do not destroy the property.

It didn’t work. During an hourslong standoff with the man and a 15-year-old girl inside, SWAT officers shot approximately 30 tear gas canisters into Baker’s property, blew up her garage door, and drove an armored vehicle over her fence.

The teenager got out of the house, but by the time cops stormed the property, the fugitive had killed himself in Baker’s bedroom. Baker’s belongings, some of them irreplaceable, were ruined by tear gas. Even her daughter’s dog, which came running out of the home during the standoff, ended up nearly blind and completely deaf.

Hey, the cops went home safe that night and the dog was nearly blind and deaf.  To boot, the woman was left with a bill.  The only thing better would have been if a cop had been able to shoot a dog.

You’re never in more danger than when the cops are around.

I found this article to be quite useful if you’re a shotgun shooter (for hunting or anything else).

If you have additional resources you’d like to add, please feel free to do so in the comments.  Or simply add to the discussion in the article with your own experiences.

Bill/Issue: HR 1446, HR 8, Untitled Senate Bill

Position: Strongly Opposed

Summary: These bills are all designed to implement a nationwide registry of your firearms, setting the stage for gun confiscation.

The floodgates have opened on gun registry legislation, with three bills introduced in one day designed to force Universal Background Checks on gun transfers. And one of these anti-gun bills – HR 8 – already has support from Republicans.

Due to Democrat control of the House, Senate and White House, this should be a RED ALERT for gun owners. Indeed, there are even reports that these bills could be moved to a full vote sometime NEXT WEEK!

That’s right, Nancy Pelosi and her cronies are prepared to move these anti-gun bills through at lightning speed, shortening a process that normally takes months into just a few days or perhaps even hours. Therefore, it is URGENT that you take action.

Republicans and Democrats are prepared to work TOGETHER in order to force registration of your guns in preparation for possible ATF action, confiscations and more. We CANNOT let them get away with this collusion.

So continuing this line of discussion, what they’re saying is that republicans are preparing to be a sellout (but what else is new?).

… sadly, GOA has received reports from pro-gun congressmen that some Republicans are looking to “clean up” the bill and make it palatable.

This is where the Pelosi-backed H.R. 8 comes in: It would require Brady Checks through dealers — and 4473’s — on virtually every private firearms transaction in the country.

And guess what? Now they will have a national gun registry that will tell them who you are, where you live, and what guns you own.

As I’ve said, I expect at least Rubio, Romney, Cornyn, Murkowski and Collins to jump in on this in the Senate, and it will probably be impossible to stop this in the House.

Of course, this is the holy grail for the controllers.  AR-15s are small potatoes compared to a national gun registry.

Until passage of the bill, person-to-person transfers are legal, and thus form 4473 does not constitute a national gun registry.  We’ve had our debates on this, and of course form 4473 is an infringement, but UBC is where the controllers want all of this to go.

You stand warned.

I confess I hadn’t thought of that as a quick tip for checking bolt gas rings.  Also, the ejection pattern of the casings was a useful discussion.

I had missed this when it first came out.  Jeff had literally hundreds upon hundreds of long guns.  He was especially fond of lever guns.

BLUF. Mike says to get one or more of each kind.

Blackberry Smoke covers the Marshall Tucker Band hit “Take the Highway.”

I really like Charlie Starr’s awesome vocals and he hits the nail right on the head.  He gets Doug Gray’s vocals just right.  His guitar work is great too.  The flutist is Marcus Henderson from Brevard, N.C.  He does some different things than Jerry Eubanks does on this tune.  He does a nice job but I think I prefer Eubanks’ solo.

It’s too bad that Toy Caldwell, Doug Gray, George McCorkle, Jerry Eubanks and Paul Riddle are all dead now, but this is a great tribute with very lacy vocals that’s always in tune.

It’s also good to see Capricorn Studios in Macon re-opened where a lot of Southern Rock was produced.
