Obama administration reverses course, forbids sale of 850,000 antique rifles
The South Korean government, in an effort to raise money for its military, wants to sell nearly a million antique M1 rifles that were used by U.S. soldiers in the Korean War to gun collectors in America.
The Obama administration approved the sale of the American made rifles last year. But it reversed course and banned the sale in March -- a decision that went largely unnoticed at the time but that is now sparking opposition from gun rights advocates.

Canada: It's time to finally get rid of the long gun registry
After all this time, there's still no clear evidence the long gun registry has stemmed gun related crimes. The only certainty is that the registry has cost taxpayers at least $2 billion an astronomical figure given that the Liberals promised the registry would only cost an initial $2 million in start up spending.
In a damning report in 2002, federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser found that program was not only costly, but excessively regulatory, overly complex and difficult for owners to comply with.

Canada: The gun registry doesn't make us safer
The key factor to consider when determining the fate of the federal long gun registry is whether or not it prevents crime. That was its initial objective. That is how Jean Chretien's Liberal government justified the nearly $2 billion that has been spent on the project and a bureaucracy that continues to consume between $87 million (RCMP estimate) and $106 million (Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimate) annually.

Gun owners dodge the bullet ban
The Supreme Court's recent McDonald and Heller decisions have thus far thwarted the gun grabbers' best efforts by upholding the individual's right to own firearms. Late Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency added another victory to the list as it shot down an attempt to undermine the Second Amendment through the regulation of bullets. On Aug. 3, the American Bird Conservancy and groups like Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to ban traditional lead ammunition as a "health risk."
