BREAKING: Gun Industry Boycott of California is getting underway!

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Gary

Hot on the heels of Ruger’s announcement that it will allow all of its pistols to fall off the California Department Of Justice approved list, ending Ruger’s pistol sales in the Golden State, we’ve just learned that Smith & Wesson’s M&P pistols will also go off the menu.

via BREAKING: Smith & Wesson M&P Pistols to Fall Off CA DOJ Approved List | The Truth About Guns.

TruthAboutGuns.com is reporting that both Ruger and Smith&Wesson are about to let their popular handguns fall off the California DOJ approval list. It’s high time these manufacturers followed Ronnie Barrett’s example. Looks like they finally will. Hopefully others will follow suit and refuse to sell to anyone providing firearms to California police departments too. If they want to dry up their supply of guns, it would seem we should oblige them.

▶ Piers Morgan ist still at it. Sheriff Chris Nocco isn’t playing is game.

I have to applaud the sheriff. With respect to the Curtis Reeves case, he’s sticking to the facts. And unlike so many police chiefs who are simply mouth pieces for the mayors that appoint them, the sheriff is sticking to the facts and stating the obvious, Curtis Reeves killed Chad Oulson. The gun didn’t commit the act. Had Reeves acted with a knife, we wouldn’t have people arguing the knife did it, at least not in the US. Piers Morgan’s native country is another story entirely.

Video: Body cam captures violent ‘suicide by cop’ in Idaho

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Gary

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Coeur d’Alene Police Officer Spencer Mortensen ordered Eric Byron Johnston eight times to drop two knives before fatally shooting him in a small apartment near downtown last summer, the officer’s body camera recording shows.

Police released the video footage yesterday. The prosecuting attorney in neighboring Bonner County reviewed an Idaho State Police investigation into the Aug. 25, 2013, shooting and concluded that Johnston, a 35-year-old Dalton Gardens resident, appeared intent on “suicide by cop” and that no charges should be filed against Mortensen.

Check out Herra Kuulapaa. You’re welcome. He’s from Finland. TruthAboutGuns.com reminded me about Kuulapaa’s work this morning after his work appeared in the UK’s Telegraph. Some of the images, truly are beautiful. But, there are also a lot of interesting phenomenon to be seen such as all the unburned powder present in the air. Check it out. If I’m not mistaken, some of the images are actually for sale. Might make a nice present for a shooter new you.
