GUN SHOW LICENSE PLATE SCANS A ‘CIVIL RIGHTS OUTRAGE’

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today is calling for a probe by the House Oversight Committee on an effort by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to record license plate information on all cars belonging to gun show customers in Southern California, calling the project a “civil rights outrage.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that federal agents apparently persuaded local police officers in 2010 to scan those license plates, ostensibly to detect possible gun smuggling. But SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said the effort appears to have been “one more gun control affront launched during the Obama administration.”

  1. It’s not just the gun shows. Our local range is a very large very tacticool place. On the weekends its not uncommon to see a couple black Crown Vics slowly driving through the parking lot. They stick out.

  2. Vietvet – that is way cool.

    As a child, I wanted a Luger. Badly. There is still something about the design that holds my attention. Not overly done. Minimalist compared to a gun with a slide. And that dang flexing part is like no other.

    Back in the 60s the choices were fewer and I considered a 9mm semi-auto exotic compared to the 1911s and revolvers I personally saw. I really didn’t ever see a 9mm anything in use back then.
