He regularly posts this stuff, but runs and hides when asked that question. Just check out the NRA thread. There are tons of examples of his idiocy in this particular regard. Meanwhile, 89 people died in car accidents yesterday.
I like Switzerland's approach to guns. That is, EVERYONE required to own a gun. That way, violent perps know "my potential victim(s) A. Likely have a gun themselves, and B. I'm likely to get my ass shot and killed.... mebbe I better think about it." DUH! Of course... "Defense against violent criminals" pales in comparison to the MUCH more important reason for the populace to be armed.... DEFENSE AGAINST OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT!! Especially our own.

This is from wnd, so take the article with a grain of skepticism. Islamic invasion pulls trigger: Europe now scrambles for guns Many 'now wish they had a 2nd Amendment' Published: 13 hours ago Leo Hohmann About | Email | Archive Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders. Tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government. Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries. The laws in Austria, while still strict, are a bit less overbearing. A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out. And those arming themselves are primarily women. “If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them,” the Czech newscaster says. “All of them are currently sold out.” He cites the Austrian news outlet Trioler Tageszeitung as the source of his report. “We cannot complain about lack of demand,” Stephen Mayer, a gun merchant, told Trioler Tageszeitung. He claims the stock has been sold out for the last three weeks and that demand is being fueled by fears generated by social changes. “People want to protect themselves,” Mayer said. “Nonetheless, the most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women.” They are also buying pepper sprays, which Mayer said are in big demand among those who can’t get a gun. Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, said he recently returned from a gun rights event in Europe, where he sensed a change in attitude toward firearms. “I just returned from a gun rights meeting in Belgium, and I can attest that all over Europe people now want the means to defend themselves,” Gottlieb told WND. “Self-defense is no longer a dirty word. In countries like Austria, where it is still legal to own a firearm, gun sales are at record levels. I can tell you first-hand that people in Europe now wish they had a Second Amendment.” More potential new customers are entering the market than ever before, according to the Czech report. Watch clip of Czech TV report on Austrians rushing to arm themselves: http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/islamic-...r-guns/#ooid=NlMzJmeDqz9kMNVbEqrz_JeOt2fypQhK Until the refugees started flooding Europe, it was mostly hunters and sport shooters who purchased firearms. Now, people are seeking weapons for self-defense because they are worried about their personal safety. Most have never used a gun before. So-called "projectile weapons" are available in Austria under two classifications, C and D, which are rifles and shotguns. Every adult Austrian is legally able to apply for a weapons permit but must disclose to the government their reason for wanting to own a gun. The news outlet then interview a sociologist and an Austrian journalist, both of whom said the weapons purchases were based on unfounded fears about foreign migrants. 'Something is very wrong here' The Viennese sociologist, identified only as Mr. Gertler, said no such fears about migrants should ever be published by any Austrian news outlet. A journalist named Wittinger said "something is very wrong here" if Austrians are buying guns to protect themselves against migrants. "Shotguns will not, after all, solve any immediate problems, quite the contrary," he said. The Czech TV station then reported that Islamists are promising: "We will cut the heads off unbelieving dogs even in Europe." "Look forward to it, it's coming soon!" the Czech newscaster said. ISIS-trained jihadists are now returning as European citizens or they are trying to infiltrate as migrants. In one propaganda video an ISIS operative informs his comrades back home in Germany to slit the throats of unbelievers in Germany, Czech TV reports. "Overall, the ministry of interior stated that Germany is in the cross-hairs of Islamic terrorists but that he does not have any indications of specific threats," he said. Bracing for another Islamic invasion The Czech site reflects awareness of a major event in Western history, said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. "Polish King John Sobieski defeated the Muslim invaders at the gates of Vienna in 1683. Another Muslim invasion is underway and Austrians are alarmed, hence their run on gun stores," Pratt told WND. "Women are right to be concerned in view of the Muslim view of women that they are good for raping and little else." The Czech TV report cited the Arab Spring as the root cause for the flood of Muslim migrants into Europe. "More and more, the whole thing is turning into the situation that we will experience the much-touted Arab spring from very close up – right here at home," the reporter said. "What's more, many European are alienating large part of their own populace with unfortunate social and multicultural politics, merciless removal of children, unfair seizures and trading on traditional European values and with policies which are usually less friendly toward conservative and traditional native inhabitants and leans toward that portion of inhabitants who have little trouble with globalization and nonchalant liberalization, removal of traditions and Islamization. Yet we will not be able to rely on it, that portion of (population) once the Arab Spring comes here. And that will probably be, as they say, closing the barn after the cows are gone."
Poll: 2 Out of 3 Americans Say Focus On Mental Health, Not Gun Control Getty Images by AWR Hawkins26 Oct 20151,789 After a week of polls showing the American people reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting with stronger support for gun rights than gun control, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released October 26 shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans also believe Congressional focus ought to be on fixing our mental health system instead of talking about more gun laws. According to The Washington Post, the poll shows that 63 percent of Americans believe mass public attacks like the one at UCC “reflect problems identifying and treating people with mental health problems rather than inadequate gun control laws.” Only 23 percent of Americans believe such attacks show the need for more gun control. And if we break down poll responses by political parties we see the continuation of a similar pattern–namely, that Second Amendment support is coming from Republicans and independents while the driving force behind gun control is the Democrat Party. For example, in the Washington Post-ABC News Poll 82 percent of Republicans and 65 percent of Independents says mass public attacks show the focus should be on mental health rather than the passage of more gun control laws. Only 46 percent of Democrats agree with the Republicans and independents on this. Moreover, when asked about gun rights versus gun control, the Washington Post-ABC Poll showed that seven out of 10 Republicans say the focus should be on gun rights while seven out of 10 Democrats want more gun control. Breitbart News previously reported that the responses to a recent Gallup poll show a similar breakdown among political parties regarding concealed carry in America. Gallup showed that 56 percent of Americans believe more concealed carry would make America safer while 41 percent of Americans believe more concealed carry would make America less safe. The pro-concealed carry position was driven by Republicans and independents; eighty-two percent of Republicans believe more concealed carry would make the U.S. safer and 56 percent of independents agree. The anti-concealed position was driven by Democrats, 67 percent of whom believe more concealed carry permit holders will make America less safe.
California Sheriffs Sue To Stop ‘High Capacity’ Magazine Ban George Frey/Getty Images/AFP by AWR Hawkins25 Oct 2015461 Thirty sheriffs across the state of California are joining with the California Rifle and Pistol Association in a suit claiming Los Angeles’s recently instituted “high capacity” magazine ban “violates state regulations.” Gun owners in Los Angeles have until November 18 to surrender all “high capacity” magazines to police or otherwise dispose of them. The “high capacity” magazine ban was pushed through by L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian in the summer, then signed into law by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) on August 7. The NRA-ILA reported that the law only contains three exemptions, those are: 1) Any feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot hold more than 10 rounds; 2) Any .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device; and 3) Any tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm. According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko is involved in the suit and is worried about the legality of police driving through the city with “high capacity” magazines on their belts and in their guns. He suggests the law creates confusion because “other parts of the state allow high-capacity magazines,” thus sheriff’s will have to figure out whether to lessen the number of rounds they are willing to carry or avoid being in the city when possible. Bosenko said, “The ordinance creates a patchwork of laws that law-abiding citizens and law enforcement have to navigate through.” The California Reserve Peace Officers Association is also involved in the suit with the sheriffs and the California Rifle and Pistol Association. Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer opposes the suit and claims the “high capacity” magazine ban is constitutional. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter: @AWRHawkins.
