1742<p><br/></p><p><span style="display: initial;">For decades, gun control advocates and their allies in &ldquo;public health&rdquo; have pushed a misleading factoid about children and firearms.<br/>This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 0-14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-17, 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of &ldquo;children&rdquo; (ages 0-17, 0-19 or 0-24) who are subjected to &ldquo;gun violence&rdquo; each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies by claiming &ldquo;gun violence is the leading cause of death of children.&rdquo;</span></p></div>

Volunteers are hard at work&mdash;stacking arrows, checking firearms, brewing coffee. Today the entire club has paused its normal operations for something truly special: a Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinic. Soon, 60 women from across the state will arrive for a full day of hands-on experience with rifle, pistol, shotgun and archery.</span></p><p><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;">Demand for this clinic is sky-high. Thousands of women participate in Women On Target clinics nationwide, but spots at DCWC clinic are coveted. Co-organizers Edie Fleeman and Lisa Williams have refined a registration process to keep things fair: paper registrations only, postmarked after a specified date, no walk-ins, no spectators, no special favors for friends and family. Planning takes months. Execution requires a small army of volunteers.</span></p><p><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p><strong style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;">Women from All Walks of Life</strong><span style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;"><br/>Just before 8 a.m., a steady stream of cars winds toward the clubhouse. The women stepping out reflect the diversity of North Carolina&mdash;students, retirees, nurses, scientists, even a rising country music artist. Many are here to handle firearms for the first time. They&rsquo;ve come to learn, to connect and to discover.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><span style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;">&ldquo;Nothing is more exciting than to see women step away from their normal lives and have a great time doing something totally new and different,&rdquo; said coach Robin Gallagher.</span><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p></div>

Further, it includes an enforcement mechanism that allows the North Carolina Attorney General to pursue legal remedies against entities that violate these provisions. This is an important protection for gun owners, protecting private purchasing data from abuse by third parties. Twenty states have adopted similar legislation. For more information, click&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.nraila.org/articles/20230717/mcc-update-pro-gun-states-block-credit-card-gun-registry-scheme" target="_blank" style="display: initial;">here</a><span style="display: initial;">.</span></p><p><span class="" style="display: initial;"><span style="display: initial;">Collecting firearm retailer financial transaction data amounts to surveillance and registration of law-abiding gun owners. Those promoting this scheme are in favor of firearm and gun owner registrations. Therefore, it should be assumed that the goal of this program is to share all collected firearm retailer MCC data with government authorities and potentially private third parties that may include gun control organizations and anti-gun researchers.</span>

A &ldquo;dangerous&rdquo; arm, the court determined, is one &ldquo;that a typical operator cannot reasonably control to neutralize discrete, identified aggressors.&rdquo; An &ldquo;unusual&rdquo; arm is &ldquo;an arm deploying an atypical method to neutralize an opponent in confrontation or that deploys a neutralizing agent that is caustic, incendiary, noxious, poisonous, or radioactive.&rdquo; And a &ldquo;common&rdquo; arm encompasses &ldquo;any bearable rifle, shotgun, or pistol that is capable of semiautomatic fire and is or has been available for purchase, possession, and usage by law-abiding citizens for self-defense, provided that it is not otherwise &lsquo;dangerous and unusual.&rsquo;&rdquo; Applying these definitions, the court concluded that the banned &ldquo;assault weapons&rdquo; and &ldquo;large-capacity magazines&rdquo; are common arms covered by the Second Amendment.</span>

The VA, of course, is a creation of Congress, as are the statutes that empower, guide, and fund its activities.<br/><br/>Yet as is characteristic of many government agencies, the VA has formed its own agenda, born of deeply entrenched bureaucrats with their personal ideas about how government should operate. One glaring example of this is the department&rsquo;s focus on gun control, a priority that is not only unrelated to its core mission but puts the VA at odds with many of the veterans its serves, who deeply value the right to keep and bear arms. In a stunning example of bureaucracy run amok, VA officials brazenly told incredulous members of Congress at Wednesday&rsquo;s hearing the VA &ldquo;could not&rdquo; and &ldquo;would not&rdquo; comply with proposed legislation aimed at reining in this unauthorized mission.&nbsp;<br/></span></p></div>
