Laser Etching and Microstamping

I can't decide which one is my "favorite" sentence from this article:

"It would link purchasers to handgun ammunition through an electronic swipe of a driver's license at the point of sale."

or

"Sen. Joseph Dunn, a Garden Grove Democrat who introduced the bill for Lockyer, said he is working with law enforcement groups to resolve concerns about how to treat a massive existing inventory [and] possession of unmarked ammunition in homes..."

Squeeze, baby!

The War on Guns: Project Disarmed Neighborhoods

Blog Chez Jacq' adds some good commentary and links to the topic.

Love the picture of Dubya.

Blogs, Media and Magazines

I see Say Uncle wrote an article based on a series of email exchanges with me.

Minor point--I'm "a" contributing field editor with GUNS Magazine, as opposed to "the field editor" All it really means is I get a masthead credit. I still have to work a real job.

Dana and Real ID

"We met with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher yesterday. I asked about the Real ID proposal, which our editorial strongly opposed. Unlike some Real ID defenders, he didn't say it wasn't a national ID card. He said Americans' data already can easily be accessed by the government, so this isn't a new imposition. I asked where authority to impose a national ID card was in the Constitution. He didn't provide an answer."
