I like some of these talking points. Relating their arguments to the 1st Amendment is great.

Democrats propose $10,000 fine for gun owners who don’t have insurance
From a reader:
Rep.
Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and eight Democrat cosponsors have introduced
the “Firearm Risk Protection Act” (H.R. 1369) into Congress, the first
bill that would require liability
insurance of gun buyers nationwide.
She was joined in sponsoring the bill by Reps. James Moran of Virginia and Eleanor Holmes Norton of Washington, D.C.
The proposal was introduced into the House Judiciary Committee.

The
law would require gun buyers to have liability insurance coverage
before being allowed to purchase a weapon and imposes a fine of $10,000
if an owner is found not to have
the required coverage; service members and law enforcement officers are
exempt from this insurance requirement.
Attempts to pass legislation in several states have failed.
“We
have a long history of requiring insurance for high-risk products – and
no one disputes that guns are dangerous,” Maloney said in a statement.
“While many individual states
are debating this issue now, it makes more sense for Congress to
establish a national requirement to allow the insurance markets to begin
to price the risks involved consistently nationwide.”
Although
the bill would require gun owners to have “a qualified liability
insurance policy,” obtaining such coverage could be nearly impossible as
few companies offer that
type of product.
“Legislatures
can mandate, but can’t compel insurers to sell it,” said Robert
Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute when asked
recently by IFAwebnews.com
if the insurance industry was prepared to offer firearm liability
insurance.
Currently,
guns are only insured as property in most cases, but bodily and
property injury due to accidental discharge may be covered under a
traditional homeowners policy,
akin to slip and fall incidents.
According
to Hartwig, most insurance companies understand the low probability of
such an event and do not even ask prospective policyholders if they own a
gun.
The
National Rifle Association currently endorses an “excess personal
liability” plan with up to $250,000 in coverage, administered by Lockton
Affinity. A “self-defense” rider
is also available, covering NRA members involved in an act of
self-defense.
The
six other co-sponsors of Maloney’s bill are Keith Ellison (Minn.),
Michael Capuano (Mass.), Bobby Rush (Ill.), Nikki Tsongas (Mass.),
Stephen Lynch (Mass.) and Earl Blumenauer
(Ore.).

For the Record: Gun Control
Let's just keep shining the light on this issue:

I have not been to the range for weeks because I am nursing a serious back injury.
I have been to six docs so far and I am probably heading for surgery soon.
Joy.
Ammo is still scarce around here.
No word yet on my two SBR requests.
Still saving pennies for my AR-15 suppressor.
Plus I am still waiting for control to be returned to the sane in various statehouses...
--Maybe I will clean something and take pics...
Hidden Safe in an Air Vent
This kit is designed to fit between 16 inch studs. It looks really easy to install yourself. The inside is configurable in various ways
You can buy one here.
An air vent in a closet or a bathroom may be a very good option for a handgun to get stashed.
--I may have to get one of these.
Quotes of the Week
"One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street ... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time."
"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician."
"Remember the first rule of gunfighting ... have a gun."
"The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory."
"The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail ... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation."
"Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands."
10 Round mags
A friend sent me an email with a link to a craigslist add from a guy that lived in a restricted area and would straight up trade regular mags for 10 round mags.
I happen to have two of the evil things in my safe.
They came with the JR Carbine.
I sent him a quick email and we will be meeting at a Waffle House later next week to make the exchange.
I will exchange all his Evil relics for Good.
--Stupid politicians.
Suppressor Shopping
I have been reading on several forums and Youtube that using a 7.62mm suppressor on a 5.56mm is effective and has the benefit of the ability to use the same suppressor on other rifles.
I am leaning toward trying it with all else being equal.
Suppressing a .223 SBR is an interesting project. I really want a suppressor because that little bastard is damn loud!
I will also have to try a box of Subsonic .223 to see if it will cycle my rig. Here is a brand that says it will.
--Does anyone have experience with this configuration?

Racists
I was at a professional conference yesterday and overheard a gun control conversation.
The solution offered up was to allow people to buy guns but tax the hell out of guns and ammo.
$100 per bullet. $10,000 per firearm. And then he qualified it with the following statement.
"No tax for the government or police though."
It was then that I added, "Or criminals...".
They just stared at me. I continued in their own superior, intellectual, conversational tone, "If you bothered to take the time and look at the history of Gun Control in the US, that kind of plan has been used in the past to keep guns away from blacks and the poor. It is classist and racist." Total conversation killer. Love it.
I actually might have put a pebble in a couple shoes. Maybe.
--I am getting sick of these types.

Firearms Insurance
You may not realize that most homeowner or renter insurance policies have a firm limit on firearms coverage.
I am looking for recommendations.
Has anyone ever used Armscare Plus Coverage?
I am looking for a policy that will cover lost or stolen guns, ammo and accessories. It was also need to include fire coverage. I have a current full inventory with photos and serial numbers.
--Send me some links if you have some!
