Nevada Nullification Petition
Here is a draft of a Nevada state nullification petition that I have drafted up to pass around to all your local gun stores to sign and send to your state legislature. Please reference the Nevada state legislature website to locate your assemblyman or senator to send the petitions to. Hopefully we will be able to get a bill into the legislature.
Cheers

Reno Gun Blog is on Twitter now!
Well I thought I'd make a twitter account for the Reno Gun Blog to attract more traffic so that hopefully more can come to become educated on the importance of our 2nd Amendment Rights. Link is at the bottom.

Obama waives ban on sending weapons to countries that are known to endorse terrorist groups
Article <--- Link to original source
And yet we just narrowly defeated the Assault Weapons Ban domestically here in the U.S., yet the Executive Branch is using their authority to circumvent a Federal Law that is on the books, which is exactly why we have three branches of government, to create checks and balances. Why is this here on the blog? Well........ I'm seeking to bring to the readers' (all zero of you) attention some of the dangers that I see with doing this.
1. We have not learned our lesson of what happens when we back a certain militant Islamic group and supply them with weapons (Afghanistan in the 1980's against Russia funneling through Saudi Arabia). In the early part of the Afghanistan war, the primary source of weapons that the Talibs used against NATO forces were those acquired back in the 1980's. After the Mujahideen kicked the Russians out of their home country, these weapons simply did not get returned to Saudi Arabia or the U.S., they kept them and after used them to fight the Northern Alliance led by Massoud and instituted their own Sharia regime. Was it better than the Russian occupation? I am not going to start that debate.
2. Besides the no accountability and the tracking of weapons issue, we are giving the rebels what Dianne Feinstein considers true "Assault Rifles". My educated guess surplus M-16's and select-fire AK's/RPK's/PKM's purchased surplus outside the U.S. to funnel through another middle east country. That is we the American People learned the CIA was doing in Libya; it was a drop off point to ship out these weapons. I do think that's another contributing factor to why the Benghazi attack happened.
The most interesting thing I see out of all of this is the fact that President Obama just recently signed an executive order stopping the sale of Curio & Relic weapons by the federal government to collectors for personal collections citing that this is a way for criminals to acquire weapons by circumventing background checks and straw purchasers by them for prohibited purchasers, but yet our country will send fully automatic rifles to a rebel group in a heavily militant Islamic country with no guarantee of where these weapons will end up in say a decade from now. Here is the other illogical thing about banning government C&R weapon sales. For a weapon to be C&R eligible it has to meet certain requirements:
1. It must be 50 years or older OR
2. It must be on the approved C&R list, such as Soviet era SKS's, 9x18 Makarovs (CZ 82's) and more.
This is how many have acquired surplus M1 Garands or M1A carbines, but yet I can't recall mass shootings committed with these collector weapons. Coming down to it was just another power play by the Executive Branch trying to circumvent the 2nd Amendment again. While I will admit that there are full auto C&R weapons, the prices of these are in the 5 figure price range. A fully automatic Thompson SMG will go for anywhere from 13k-30k, and it still must have a tax stamp paid for and be registered just like any other full auto in the NFA registry. I think it is cheaper for a felon to grind down the sear on a 400$ AK built from a flat and have an inexpensive bullet hose. Criminals are not going to abide by the gun laws we already have on the books, so why are we restricting the sale of Curio and Relic weapons to individuals who already play by the rules? It is just another power play, and I find it very interesting that the Fed will support the overthrowing of another government in a civil war by supplying untraceable full auto weapons purchased with tax payer money, but yet they try extremely hard to regulate and restrict an American civilian's guaranteed Constitutional right to own a firearm. Since 1934 the Federal government has slowly been chipping away at our 2nd Amendment rights. Within less than 24 hours, President Obama has already started campaigning for more gun control in the wake of today's DC shooting, which I may add has some of the strictest gun control policies in the country, but yet that did not stop a mass shooting in a government building, which is standard to be a "Gun Free Zone"; it is sad that the anti-gunners are using tragedies to campaign for the systematic disarmament of the American people. Some readings are linked at the bottom to show you the reader how the Federal government has been restricting the 2nd Amendment since the 1934 National Firearms Act. God bless, and stay safe.

Franken AR Mosin shoot
I sincerely apologize about the typo in the title, but the wife and I went out today to go shooting. We brought some pistols, the Franken AR, and my Mosin 91/30. The Mosin is definitely the most fun to shoot.
Type 03 FFL and how to get one
The Type 03 FFL (Curio & Relic License) is another way to get back some of your abridged Second Amendment Rights. If you live in a people's republic state (California) then you may be out of luck on this one. This license allows for you to purchase firearms 50 years or older or on the approved C&R list and get them mailed right to your door. No background check, and no waiting. What you will need.
1. Check for 30$ Made out to the BATFE
2. Envelope
3. Stamp
4. Not be a prohibited purchaser
5. Chief Law Enforcement Officer's contact info.
The first thing one must do is download this form which can be found here Curio & Relic License Application, and print out two copies. One will go to your Sheriff, Chief of Police etc. Find out where the address to their licensing department and mail that copy. If you look at the bottom of the application, you will see there is an ATF copy, and a CLEO copy. Once you fill that out, put in the check for 30$ and mail it to the ATF. approximately 6 weeks letter, you should get your license in the mail. The first thing I did was scan it to a PDF format so I can send it to FFL's when I purchase online. Naturally I had to make my first purchase, which was a 1954.5 Chinese Type 53 Carbine (Mosin M44 Copy) Which I bought for 105$ on gunbroker. I think with shipping it came out to about 140$, and sure enough a week later, UPS dropped it off right on my front step. There are many good C&R weapons that one can use for home defense and would make great hunting/sniper rifles. When I snap some more pictures I will upload my 150$ Mosin 91/30 scout build.

Colorado Recalls Two State Legislators
I know that this is old news, but it does go to show the reaction of politicians who have lost touch with their respective jobs. When these two legislators rail-roaded the universal background check and magazine capacity laws through the Colorado State Legislature, they honestly did not think of the back blast that it would create from their constituents. This is the power of democracy in action. Both of them were recalled, and it is deeply troubling the reaction they both give when recalled through the democratic process. It is very clear that the ex-legislator did not believe that the people of Colorado had the right nor the power to take her job from her, and I would argue that this is a modern day of the "shot heard around the world". I do hope that the rest of the country takes a lesson from this and proceed to remove persons from office who do not represent their constituents. They are no better than us in status, and we sign their paychecks. For too long many legislators/governors etc believe that we serve them.
This is a testament to the power of the people exercising their right to remove a person from office who abuses their power. By all means they should not have been able to resist the passage of the laws in the first place due to backing from Mayor Bloomberg and his deep pockets. Video below.
