This Week in Guns, September 7th, 2013

The state of California is gearing up to seize legally acquired guns of individuals who have run afoul of the law. 

According to David Codrea, the ATF raid on the gun shop where the weapons were purchased that were used in the Sandy Hook massacre was a staged media event. As if nothing Obama's security apparatus does is staged. Bastards.

Troy Industries' hiring of Jody Weis as a mouthpiece has prompted Hammerhead Armaments to suspend sales of Troy Industries' products.

Chicago's top cop, Garry McCarthy, has threatened to shoot armed citizens even if they are legally licensed to a carry guns in his city. Threats against legally armed individuals: 1; Threats to gangbangers actually murdering others: 0. Way to go, baby. Mayhem! It's the Chicago way!
