The Real Reason ATF Is Backing down from Green Tip Ammo Ban

Joshua Krause

After the ATF attempted to add the popular M855 green tip ammo to its list of restricted armor piercing munitions, there was widespread backlash against the move by the public. But barely a week after the ban was proposed, the ATF has already pulled back from its controversial decision. They’ve decided to postpone any action against the M855 round, after receiving 80,000 comments from the public, most of which were “critical” of their proposal.

Yesterday morning, the agency announced on Twitter “You spoke, we listened. @ATFHQ plans more study on the proposed AP Ammo exemption framework.”

However, the White House, which most gun enthusiasts suspected of being behind the ammo ban, has remained defiant.

If You Can't Stop 3D Printed Guns - Print One

Tony Cartalucci

People will inevitably 3D print guns and there is nothing you can do to stop them except prepare society to be mature and responsible enough to handle this new power. 

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. And the sort of people that kill range from the mentally unstable and/or the medicated, to political extremists, to criminals, and of course the biggest killer in human history, the government. Unfortunately, a shortage of weapons or the legal inaccessibility of weaponry never seems to be enough to stop such people from harming or killing others - and levels of violence appear more linked to social and economic issues rather than access to weaponry. 

Take the United Kingdom and Japan for example, two nations with populations that are for all intents and purposes "disarmed." Despite the UK having a population almost twice as small as Japan's it still has more total murders per year then their Japanese counterparts. The problem is socioeconomic, and so too is the solution. Here, we can see that access to weapons has little correlation to violence.

In fact, one could easily overlay a map of global poverty on top a map of global homicides and see the obvious correlation. And despite America's love-affair with firearms, it is by far not the most violent nation on Earth - not even close.

The War On Preppers: Obama Bans Ammo For The Most Popular Rifle In America

Michael Snyder

Because he can’t get Congress to approve the things that he wants to do, Barack Obama has apparently decided to rule by decree for the rest of his time in the White House.  One of Obama’s latest moves is to try to ban some of the most popular ammunition for the most popular rifle in America.  Previously, the Obama administration attempted unsuccessfully to ban the AR-15.  That didn’t work, so now Obama is going after the ammunition.

This is yet another example of the war on preppers that is going on all over the nation.  Whether you are a gun owner or not, this assault on our constitutional rights should disturb you greatly.

Barack Obama has promised to try to squeeze as much “change” as possible out of his last two years, and in the process he is “fundamentally transforming” America.  But what will our country look like when he is done?

States Move to Shield Themselves from Federal Gun Control Enforcement

Paul Lawrance

Both state legislatures in Arizona and Montana this week have passed bills that would shield themselves from any federal gun control measures that could be pressed upon the states in the future.

Both Senate Bill 1330 (SB1330), which passed in Arizona, and House Bill 203 (HB203) passing in Montana would prohibit state agencies and employees from enforcing federal gun control that restricts ownership of a personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition.

Cody Wilson: Modern Democracy is Derailed Train, Retrograde Abuses of Liberty

Activist Post

RT talks to Cody Wilson, the creator of the 3D-printed firearm dubbed “The Liberator”.

When asked why he supports decentralized power after all the "progress" society has made from tribal societies to federal power, Wilson responds:

I'm seeing nothing but, from my perspective, a train in perpetual derailment, retrograde abuses of liberties, in that there is no concept the real human rights. It's just something we use to go like bomb Iraq, or take over a country or assert our economic dominance. I'm seeing a slide toward barbarism, not toward civilization that you're there you're implying. I'm doing everything I can to maintain a distance that separates us and keep our humanity as individuals.

Shhhh… The Crime Rate in Chicago Took a Nose-Dive. Here’s Why

Aaron Nelson (The Anti-Media)

In 2012, Chicago was the murder capital of America. That December, the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit struck down the ban Illinois had in place on concealed carry. This year was the first time the new concealed carry program was implemented in the state.

Guess what? In the first quarter of 2014, the homicide rate in Chicago dropped to the lowest we have seen in 56 years. Auto theft rates have dropped by 26% and burglaries are down by 20%.

Well, what do you know? Now that people can defend themselves in public, Chicago’s notorious crime rate has suddenly plummeted. It’s not rocket science. For some reason I doubt the cops are responsible for the sudden turnaround.

If I were you, I would worry about the militarization of the police, Piers.

Shooting instructor dies after being accidentally shot by girl

Live Leak

A shooting instructor has died after a nine-year-old girl accidentally shot him in the head as he taught her how to use a sub-machine gun.

Charles Vacca, a father and veteran from Lake Havasu City, Arizona, was airlifted to hospital on Monday morning after the little girl shot him with a Uzi at an outdoor shooting range in Dolan Springs.

'Vacca was standing next to the girl while he was instructing her how to use the weapon when the accident happened,' a Mohave County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told BNO News.

'Further investigations determined [that when] the girl pulled the trigger on the automatic Uzi, the recoil sent the gun over her head, and the victim was shot.'

Vacca was airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he
died of his injuries around 9pm on Monday. An autopsy will now be carried out.

Nanny State and Police State Unite to Arrest Boy For Bringing the Word "Gun" to School

Anthony Freda Art

Brandon Turbeville

Thankfully, the dynamic duo of the Police State and the Nanny State come together again to protect the American people from another dangerous terrorist. This time, the danger to society was a 16-year-old boy from Summerville, S.C. who went so far as to write a fictional statement about killing a dinosaur with a gun.

After being given an assignment to “write a few sentences about themselves” as if it were a Facebook status, Alex Stone proceeded to write a fictional story that included the words “gun” and “take care of business.”

"I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business," Stone said. 

School Safety Expert Threatened for Questioning Official Narrative of the Sandy Hook Massacre

Federal Jack

Wolfgang W. Halbig doesn't believe anyone was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, and he's looking for some answers. So many answers, in fact, that he was paid a visit by some police investigators telling him to back off.

Mr. Halbig isn't your average "conspiracy theorist." He's worked in public education as a teacher, dean, assistant principal, principal of an alternative school and as the Director for School Safety and Security for the Seminole County Public Schools, a school district of approximately 65,000 students.

A former Florida State Trooper and United States Customs Inspector, Mr. Halbig was invited by the U.S. Department of Justice to train over 3,500 school police officers, school superintendents and school principals. He travels the country providing presentations and keynotes to a variety of school board associations and conferences and is a nationally-recognized school safety and security expert and consultant, who has provided safety training and school assessments for more than 4,000 school districts nationwide.

Dave Gahary spoke with Wolfgang about why he doesn't believe the official story of the Sandy Hook Elementary School event, in this interesting interview.

The Grizzly: First Fully 3D Printed Rifle Gets a Shot Off

Fully 3D Printed Rifle
being readied for first test fire

Activist Post

This is an update to the ongoing progress with 3D printed weapons. 

The eyes of the world are on the innovation of 3D printing. Naturally, whenever a new technology is created that offers open source DIY opportunities to the average individual, it is going to make governments and their protected corporate interests very nervous.

Such is the case with 3D weapons manufacturing. Defense Distributed has been offering sets of computer files for free through their DEFCAD online library, including their now 50+ files in the MEGA PACK. Their progress, as well as their subsequent hindering by the US Department of Defense Trade Controls, has been documented by a series of video updates below.

Legal difficulties aside, progress continues. The Lulz Liberator was the latest to be introduced by two Wisconsin engineers; they built upon the work of Defense Distributed and entered into the 3D handgun market made as the cheapest yet produced at just $25. Now, the world has been given a prototype for the first full rifle seen in the video below. As noted by the developer, ThreeD Ukulele, the gun was named after the Canadian-built Sherman Tanks of WWII.

Congressman introduces bill to defund schools that punish kids for chewing pastries into gun shapes

Madison Ruppert

Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) has introduced a bill called the “Student Protection Act” which would withdraw federal funding from any public school that punishes children for brandishing pastries chewed into the shape of a gun, playing with imaginary weapons, drawing guns and more.

Stockman’s legislation, H.R. 2625, also called “a bill to protect the rights of children,” comes in response to several nonsensical incidents where students were punished for everything from imaginary grenades and gunshots to bubble guns.

The bill specifically brings up at least one of the above cases as well as the troubling case of the three-year-old deaf boy who was pressured by a school to change his name because when signed it resembles a gun, thus violating their weapons policy.

Bulls Eye: Smith and Wesson Sales Skyrocket: “We Are At Maximum Capacity”

Mac Slavo

Economic growth from the first quarter may have just gone boom as American wages collapse and the prospects for jobs continue to deteriorate, but one industry is breaking records without fail every month.

Firearms manufacturer Smith and Wesson reported a 37% increase in sales year-over-year, with President James Debney noting that demand for product isn’t waning and production capacity is the only bottleneck (so, if they had more manufacturing plants, sales would be even higher).

President James Debney:

Gun Control by Proxy: Insurance Companies Vow to Drop Schools if Teachers Carry Concealed Under New Law

Kimberly Paxton

Have gun control proponents figured out a new way to make sure that our children are not protected in schools?

As Kansas passes a state law that will allow certain teachers and other employees to carry guns, the insurance company that covers most of the schools has said they will refuse to indemnify the facilities that allow concealed carry permit holders to have weapons at school. Because of this, the state’s school board association has urged the schools NOT to take advantage of the new law.

EMC Insurance Companies, the state’s main insurer of schools, won’t insure districts with armed employees under the new law, which takes effect July 1. Districts already insured by EMC wouldn’t have their policies renewed.

How Schools Use Fear to Brainwash Students to Trust the System: A Parent’s Story

Recently my child experienced firsthand the kind of victim disarmament indoctrination America’s public school system is teaching our children.

Melissa Melton



The school went on lockdown mode without even bothering to inform me, her parent, and while it turned out to be nothing at all, the impression left on my child that day will not soon be forgotten.

In 2005, a federal court upheld that our nation’s public schools trump parent rights:

Parents and politicians alike were shocked when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Nov. 2 that parents’ fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children “does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door,” and that a public school has the right to provide its students with “whatever information it wishes to provide, sexual or otherwise.

The court went on to clarify:

Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed.

What this decision essentially says is that, as a parent, your rights to control what your children are being taught end at the school door.

Will Colorado Senator Who Backed Strict Gun Control Law Face State's First Ever Recall Election?

Daniel Jackson

A Colorado lawmaker who championed some of the strictest gun laws in the country is now facing a possible recall after concerned citizens turned in twice the needed petition signatures to initiate the state's first ever recall election.

Democratic Senate President John Morse sponsored the new gun laws in Colorado and originally backed an even stricter law that would have made gun owners liable for damage caused by their weapons. Because of this, citizens within the state have risen up and are set to possibly remove him from office.

1990s, Netscape or Internet Explorer? For those who have not followed the Open Source Movement – while many or most of you were arguing Mac or Windows, Free BSD was doing cartwheels where Mac System 6 and Windows 3.1 (both could play music CD’s, neither could surf the web) could barely stay booted-up.

But deceased Steve Jobs and Monsanto’s Michael Taylor could well surpass Bill Gates' position as most hated man on Earth today if either could corner 3D tech, now. BTW, open-source Firefox works the best. This is not about guns, this is about Boardwalk Place billionaire monopoly via Plutarchs.

Let us digress – the government has focused the corrupt lamestream media onto guns as populace bogeyman aka fear mongering. How many of your loved ones were assassinated via plastic homemade guns? How many of your loved ones might soon in the future need a 3D bio-liver, 3D bio-kidney or 3D bio-cornea transplant? The great national panic is the consumer printing their own, bypassing Astra Zeneca, Dow, 3M and Monsanto.

First 3D-Printed Handgun Successfully Test Fired; Ready to Hit the Web

Updates and Downloads HERE

Activist Post

This is an update to Defense Distributed's ongoing progress with 3D printed weapons. 

The eyes of the world are on the innovation of 3D printing. Naturally, whenever a new technology is created that offers open source DIY opportunities to the average individual, it is going to make governments and their protected corporate interests very nervous.

Such is the case with 3D weapons manufacturing. Defense Distributed has been offering sets of computer files for free through their DEFCAD online library. Their progress has been documented on their own site by a series of video updates the company has posted.

Now, after 8 months of discussing the possibility of a fully printable 3D handgun with all parts made of a composite plastic, except for the firing pin, Defense Distributed is set to release the new CAD files to the Web following a successful test fire on Saturday which can be seen in the latest video below.
