• Will a New Colorado Law Give Local Police Powers to the Secret Service in That State?

  April 5, 2013 at 1:17pm

  This does not appear to be a big deal, as Secret Service does not act on enforcement of federal law with the exception of counterfeiting.

  If Justin Smith doesn’t have a problem with this law, I don’t really either, considering that Smith is the most outspoken Colorado Sheriff against the recent gun control laws.

  There are plenty of things we should be paying attention to – this doesn’t seem to be one of them.

• Do Michael Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Ads Violate All 3 of the NRA’s Basic Gun Safety Rules? Here’s the Evidence

  March 26, 2013 at 9:33am

  I think we’re overreacting here a little bit…

  The guy’s finger is either in front of the trigger guard (first video) or behind it (second video), clearly not on it. We have no idea if he’s pointing it in a safe direction, which doesn’t necessarily mean up or down, so criticizing him on this is nonsense. I’m also not aware of a shotgun which allows the bolt to be locked open – in mine, the default position is closed and there is no ‘slide lock’ like on a pistol.

  Whoever is criticizing these videos really needs to pay more attention. Bloomberg is doing more than enough to be criticized on – can we at least pick something legitimate rather than grasping at straws?

• Former Police Chief: Repeal the Second Amendment

  Sounds like another botard who thinks the Second Amendment is about “Sportmans’ Rights.” So strange that hunting appears nowhere in the Federalist papers.

• Gun Buyback Program in Deadly NJ City Nets Over 1,000 Firearms, Breaks Record

  December 19, 2012 at 3:03pm

  The biggest tragedy of all of this is now these firearms are going to be melted down into worthless scrap metal rather than re-sold to lawful gun owners to add to a collection – many of them look like they’ve got some history. Five full auto weapons? If they’re pre-1986 and registered, those babies are worth $5,000 each easy. How stupid to turn them over for $250.

• NRA Breaks Silence on Sandy Hook Shooting: ‘We Were Shocked, Saddened and Heartbroken’

  In reply to Top_Contributor.

  I’d strongly recommend reading the Opinion of the Court, including dissent, of DC v. Heller (2008) and the incorporation against the states in McDonald v. Chicago (2010). Very vibrant discussion of both sides, with the majority addressing both banning an entire class of arms (handguns) and the policy choices of legislatures. The self defense and militia arguments are covered quite thoroughly.

• NRA Breaks Silence on Sandy Hook Shooting: ‘We Were Shocked, Saddened and Heartbroken’

  It’s good that the NRA waited to comment out of respect for the victims. Defending gun rights in the face of overwhelming tragedy is a difficult task for anybody and virtually impossible to do without coming across as insensitive and callous.

  That said, if the NRA caves on assault weapons or magazine capacity limitations to appease the emotional knee jerk legislative response that always arises after these things, my faith in them will be shaken for the last time.

  For those in the mountain west (particularly Colorado), if the NRA caves on gun rights over the risk of “looking bad,” consider investing your time and membership dues instead in someplace like Rocky Mountain Gun Owners – there is major legislation coming in the Colorado legislature next session on assault weapons and plenty of other things and RMGO is likely to be leading the defensive charge.

• Portman Demands Answers on Benghazi Scandal, Denounces ‘Unbelievable’ White House Reaction

  Attention The Blaze – it’s MARK Udall, if we’re being accurate.

• Who won V.P. debate? Here’s what the national papers say…

  In reply to RudolphGEM.

  Another good scripture from Proverbs 12:16:

  “When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known. Smart people will ignore an insult.”

  @Raymond:

  Yes, you are of course correct. I was not commenting on the “here’s” in the headline, “Here‘s what the national paper’s say…”

  I was commenting on the “paper’s,” which I thought was quite obvious.

  I’m sorry to say it, but The Blaze has really gone downhill over the last couple of months. There used to be the occasional typo, but now I’m routinely seeing noticeable grammatical errors even in HEADLINES – “Here‘s what the national paper’s say…” Excuse me, Mr. Scarry, but an apostrophe is not needed in every word that ends with an “s.” It might be beneficial to check your posts for grammar before publishing – this is getting ridiculous and unprofessional.

  Add to that the seeming redirection away from being a hard hitting, detailed news site that is publishing the important things we aren’t hearing about elsewhere. Now, the drive seems to be to turn The Blaze into a glorified Twitter, where the goal is to post as many “articles” as possible, each containing 160 words or less.

  This is really quite sad, as The Blaze was groundbreaking when it started and I was a daily reader. It seems to have lost quite a bit of steam, and the quality has gone downhill rapidly.
