#Bronze remained rare and expensive in the Mediterranean basin, because the tin had to be imported such long distances. Therefore, only the very wealthy could afford bronze weapons, but also, bronze weapons enabled you to seize great wealth; and that set a pattern for warfare which lasted right down to the point that #firearms became cheap.

…In his ruling, Mehta recounted how the #OathKeepers stocked #firearms at a hotel outside DC & exchanged encrypted messages about using #violence to thwart the congressional proceedings. The Oath Keeper with the guns, Edward Vallejo, was not called into action, Mehta added.
When the rioters breached the Capitol, about 10 members of the Oath Keepers wearing military gear entered the building.#Trump #RevisionistHistory #law #ElectionInterference #BigLie #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy

Contrary to popular narrative, you can't just go into a store and buy a gun in US without an ID, paperwork and a background check. The ATF From 4473 is the start of that process. Lying on that form puts you at risk for a federal offense and the vendor at risk if they knowingly accept it. The latter gives the vendor an excuse to not sell to you. Short version, regardless of how you feel about firearms, it's discriminatory and we should all push back.

The ATF is proposing to revise a bunch of rules. It's mostly a good thing but there is culture war BS in there too. Specifically, folks have to enter their gender at birth on Form 4473. As this may not match their current government ID, it's a legal trap for those folks as well as the FFL. Today is the last day to comment on this proposed rule. If you're a US citizen I urge you to do so. See https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1o50R5zQ7uUaCdX7twVoMaawcNpZLs2WrMVuZUqdR-Kg/mobilebasic for templates from the Pink Pistols

Guy buys his first gun.
Decides to make a video demonstrating proper gun handling techniques.
In the parking lot after buying the gun.
It goes as well as you can expect.Look, i'm a gun owner. Target shooting is fun! And i had a concealed carry permit for many years. But i also trained every week. And i didn't do stupid stunts like this, not even at gun ranges, much less parking lots.
To all the people like this guy: please STOP! This is why i've come to support more restrictive gun laws over the years. I don't think guns should be banned, but damn! There sure are a lot of stupid people who don't need to own guns!

So I had a look at the very exacting process to obtain a pistol license in my state...
...my thesis was, the test is not just a cock-block to be nasty, but it is a psychological test to select only a specific type of individual who can be trusted with a compact firearm.
If you reduced it to one sentence;
The licensing process selects for people whose default operating mode is patient, orderly, emotionally stable, procedurally compliant, and willing to exchange immediate autonomy for long-term access.
Now, look at that list and tell me you don't want your neighbour to have those characterics?
Or would you rather have him wave his gun every time leaves blow in from your property?

CW: Firearm
Given the AQI we're expecting, I picked up my new revolver today rather than waiting. I'm expecting this to be my last purchase since I have covered my intended uses.
The holster was made by my mother around 40 years ago. It needs a little tlc but will work nicely.

So I've looked up the procedure to legally acquire a Pistol #Firearm (#gun) in my state in #Australia . Firearms of any sort are super tightly regulated, we never had a mass murder incident with a pistol, something that happens every afternoon in US (twice on the weekends)
These are the requirements
1. You have to prove you do not want a pistol
2. You have to show you need it for a good cause, the only good reason being, taking it out of a gun safe between 3PM and 6PM on a Saturday to look at it.
3. The police will require your DNA, Brain scan and check your ancestry all the way back to Jesus for any criminality, this being Australia, settled by convicts, no Australian migrant can own one.
4. Pistol dimensions are strictly regulated, the magazine may not exceed 1 round, and you have to assemble the round before you fire it, by law, with the separate parts of the bullet stored some distance apart, ideally in different municipalities.
5. The barrel of the pistol may be between 1200mm and 1201mm and of a calibre wider than the round used in the pistol
6. You need to join a secret society, and pay your firstborn as a due.
7. For the first 6 years, you can not actually own a gun, instead after you get a permit, you can look at one in the shop.
8. You have to enroll and graduate from a 3 year full time University Firearms safety and use course.
9. To maintain your license, you need to attend an official cult, sorry club, competition every weekend (Sat AND Sun)
10. You have to re-apply for the license every month and will lose it if you do not meet any of the cult, sorry club, competition requirements or are within 500m of a criminal offence being committed.

CW: Firearms Training, Dryfire Drills
I enjoy using the Mantis Laser Academy and MantisX Training apps. The latter has a number of different courses which are sets of 10 challenges appropriate to the skill level and course intent. The courses are broken into Basic, Advanced, and Elite versions of Marksmanship, Combat, and Concealed Carry.
So far, the concealed carry challenges have been more difficult than the Combat. For example, the concealed hostage rescue requires saving all 5 hostages but the combat version only requires 3 out of 5. It will be interesting to see what the others are.

"For years, #AnnaSoyfer opposed #gun ownership, her views shaped by stories of #schoolshootings and the easy availability of #firearms. Then came the #Oct7 attacks in #Israel, followed by a surge in #antisemitism that made her and her husband rethink what keeping their family safe might look like. This spring, they became among the first members of a #Jewish #firearm training group that launched in #StLouis.
“Historically, I’ve been against gun ownership,” Soyfer said. “But with the increase in antisemitism, we feel more and more that our safety is in our hands.”
As Jewish gun groups continue to grow nationwide, St. Louis is proving to be part of that trend.
The St. Louis chapter of #Lox&Loaded, a national organization focused on firearm safety and training within the Jewish community, began meeting in May..."

Went searching and this holster my mother made for me about 40 years ago. At the time it went with a Crossman CO2 pellet pistol shaped like a .357 Magnum. Yesterday, I bought a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. I'm thinking I will clean and recondition the holster for it.

The admin’s approach to #GunViolence also reflects Trump’s long political alliance with gun rights groups & his determination to undo the policies of his predecessor, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Soon after taking office, #Trump shuttered #Biden’s White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, ordered a review of Biden’s #firearms policies & issued an executive order titled, “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.”

The #Trump admin, which has systematically rolled back #firearms #regulations since returning to office, has also gutted federal #GunViolence prevention efforts, slashing #funding for programs & #research & even SUPPRESSING #taxpayer-funded reports aimed at reducing #gun injuries & deaths.

Trump Jr.'s 'Amazon of guns' could make millions under new proposed firearm rule
The proposal would allow licensed dealers to ship firearms directly to in-state residents who undergo an online identity verification and background check, along with a seven-day waiting period after notifying local law enforcement. Currently, online buyers must pick up firearms at physical stores and undergo in-person background checks unless they have a permit.
