TP: I am relieved that this gun was removed from the streets, more specifically, from the hands of…Read More gang-bangers. A semi-automatic non-pump shotgun can do some serious damage to be sure. However....I found this "reporting" to be less than competent and rife with the knee-jerk reactionism so indicative of the uneducated when it comes to guns in America. As to the military's use of close-quarter shotgun implementation, my unit had Mossberg shotguns for door breaching, as you mentioned. They also provided an intimidation factor due to their appearance. (They were vicious beasts to behold!) Anyhoos, just another example of fear-mongering and group-think hysteria for the anti-gun masses to screech along with. Fah.

Sanchez - IIRC, semi auto shotguns are only deemd AWs if they are mag fed or have a 5+ round tubular…Read More mag AND a pistol grip. However, it might capture any s-a scattergun that has a tubular mag extension for six or more rounds. My guess is that your friend's Beretta is either 3 or 4 rounds tops so he should be good.

Hey Publius! Thanks for the catch. I posted this yesterday with the very cool Patch app but it must…Read More have auto corrected on me. I've made the change and appreciate you letting me know.

Milton, it is the same with the environmental groups. they want to protect the snail darter but do…Read More not want to get involved with the illegal immigration issue. Why should they you may ask?

The concluding paragraph from the item above: "Hopefully her 30-day experience will remove her…Read More fear of firearms and help her recognize that the vast majority of American firearms owners have taken to their responsibility with the necessary seriousness and gravity required. Maybe she’ll also learn that no matter how many laws you pass, you can’t regulate irresponsibility out of existence. Grown-ups still have to be grown-ups. Maybe she will also learn how the Bill of Rights is supposed to work, and how one amendment strengthens another. At a minimum, people like Heidi Yewman should be passingly familiar with the Constitutional rights they’re agitating to take away from their fellow citizens."

never forget Newtown...!! (RNS) Each Father’s Day, Neil Heslin and his son, Jesse Lewis, used…Read More to go to a car show.
But that tradition died when 6-year-old Jesse was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
This Father’s Day, Heslin, who has been active with other Sandy Hook parents in pushing for gun control legislation, is giving his support to the No Father’s Day campaign.
Speaking at a media teleconference to launch the campaign, Heslin said, “Jesse was my only child, my only immediate family. I don’t have a father to share Father’s Day with.”
Initiated by PICO National Network’s Lifelines to Healing Campaign, the campaign asks participants to send e-cards to Congress, urging passage of legislation to create universal background checks and end gun trafficking.

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need the…Read More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’”
Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds:
"We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?
