Move over\u00a0Ryan Busse<\/a>.\u00a0David Chipman<\/a>, shuffle on down.\u00a0Mike \u201cThe Gun Guy\u201d Weisser<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 time to make more room on the bench. Everytown for Gun Safety has their newest poster boy.<\/p>\n Meet Greg Lickenbrock. He\u2019s the latest in a string of \u201cI\u2019m a gun owner, but\u2026\u201d shills for gun control. Turns out that selling out your Second Amendment principles for billionaire Michael Bloomberg\u2019s money is more lucrative than actually standing up for what you believe.<\/p>\n Lickenbrock might not be a household name in the firearm-owning community. Chances are, though,\u00a0many have read his work<\/a>. He\u2019s the author of \u201cSafe Gun Ownership for Dummies,\u201d and spent nearly 10 years as editor for two publishers dedicated to guns, gun ownership, hunting and an outdoor lifestyle.<\/p>\n He cashed it all in to pitch gun control for Everytown. His latest venture was as a key witness to urge Colorado\u2019s legislature to ban all semiautomatic firearms that can accept a detachable magazine.\u00a0That is Senate Bill 3<\/a>. That\u2019s right. He wants to ban every Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR), traditional rifles, shotguns and pistols that accept detachable magazines. He pitches it as a minor inconvenience to gun owners and not a total ban.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the reasons these weapons are so effective on the battlefield and so devastating in mass shootings is because shooters can reload quickly,\u201d Lickenbrock\u00a0testified<\/a>. \u201cBy forcing an attacker to pause to reload, victims may have a chance to escape.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s interesting phrasing because this bill only affects those who obey the law. Put another way,\u00a0it forces a victim attempting to defend him or herself to pause to reload and the attacker has a chance to murder.<\/em><\/p>\n For a guy supposedly dedicated to safety, that\u2019s a pretty dumb idea. He\u2019d rather push a gun control narrative instead of advocating for true gun safety. After all, the safest way to clear \u2013 or render any semiautomatic firearm \u201csafe\u201d \u2013 is to drop the magazine and empty the chamber. If Lickenbrock and the bill\u2019s authors get their way, Coloradans would only be able to buy semiauto guns that have to be cycled through the action before it could be made safe. Say goodbye the same Browning BAR that your grandfather bought in the 1950s because it has a detachable magazine. Worse, this type of design wouldn\u2019t allow gun owners to attach a simple cable-style locking device, the most common lock that firearm manufacturers include in the box when a firearm is shipped from the factory.<\/p>\n But Lickenbrock presents himself as a firearm \u201cexpert.\u201d That\u2019s dubious. He was testifying about the process of clearing a jammed firearm when he dropped this insanity.<\/p>\n \u201cBut let\u2019s say you have a worse malfunction, most magazines today have a removable base plate,\u201d\u00a0Lickenbrock explained<\/a>. \u201cYou simply take that off and everything in the magazine will drop out of the gun and you\u2019ve cleared the malfunction and it\u2019s a very helpful way to clean the gun.\u201d<\/p>\n Actually, that\u2019s not true at all. What someone has is a pile of cartridges scattered at their feet and potentially a cartridge still jammed in the chamber. Lickenbrock isn\u2019t a firearm expert. He\u2019s no battlefield expert, either. He\u2019s never served a day in uniform. What he is \u2013 is dangerous.<\/p>\n So far, Lickenbrock is getting his way. A Colorado Senate committee advanced this ill-conceived\u00a0Senate Bill 3<\/a>\u00a0after nine hours of debate in a 3-2 vote. That bill would ban the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale or purchase of a \u201cspecified semiautomatic firearm,\u201d including all of those firearms previously mentioned.<\/p>\n Lickenbrock wasn\u2019t always this way. For nearly 10 years, he thought the most commonly-owned, commonly-possessed semiautomatic rifle in America \u2013 the MSR or AR-15-style rifle \u2013 was just fine for law-abiding citizens. In case Lickenbrock hasn\u2019t been paying close attention lately, there are over\u00a030.7 million of these rifles in circulation today<\/a>. That\u2019s more common than there are Ford F-150s on the road today \u2013 the most-popular selling pickup truck in America.<\/p>\n But he challenged that too.<\/p>\n \u201cYou will hear people today claim that there are, let\u2019s say, 30 million semiautomatic rifles in circulation,\u201d Lickenbrock answered when asked if MSRs are commonly-owned and commonly-possessed. \u201cThe group that puts that out has never shown their math on that number.\u201d<\/p>\n Ummmm\u2026 wait a second. That group is us, the NSSF. We do\u00a0show our math<\/a>. It\u2019s simple addition. We\u00a0show the chart.<\/a>\u00a0The numbers are derived from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive\u2019s (ATF) own manufacturing reports. Lickenbrock isn\u2019t just dangerous. He\u2019s a liar, too.<\/p>\n Lickenbrock was cool with MSRs before he was paid to believe they were \u201cicky.\u201d In addition to editing firearm magazines that prominently feature MSRs \u2013 the same ones he now wants to ban \u2013 he weighed in on his preference of firearm in a column titled, \u201cThe Ultimate Zombie Apocalypse Gun & Weapon Guide<\/a>.\u201d His choice \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 is the MSR. This is an excerpt from an Oct. 27, 2017, edition of Tactical Life<\/em>:<\/p>\n Greg Lickenbrock (Production Editor)<\/em><\/p>\n Lewis Machine & Tool CSW<\/em><\/p>\n I live in Atlanta\u2014ground zero for \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d\u2014so I\u2019d need something to help me get to the countryside immediately without getting handcuffed to a rooftop pipe. I\u2019d pick the CSW from Lewis Machine & Tool because it\u2019s integrally suppressed and easy to maneuver with. I\u2019m assuming I\u2019d have a backpack full of 300 Blackout magazines at this point, but I\u2019d honestly make sure I only had to shoot if necessary. My Jeep would do most of the work for me. And after I made it to greener pastures, I\u2019d switch to a suppressed bolt action.<\/em><\/p>\n For those not familiar with\u00a0LMT\u2019s CSW<\/a>, that stands for Confined Space Weapon. It is an MSR \u2013 the AR-15-style rifle that Bloomberg\u2019s Everytown wants to ban. It takes those detachable magazines that Lickenbrock had no issue possessing when it came to his zombie bugout fantasy but doesn\u2019t want Coloradans to possess in real life. It\u2019s also integrally suppressed and a short-barrel rifle (SBR), meaning it requires a National Firearms Act (NFA) tax stamp to possess.<\/p>\n These days, Lickenbrock\u2019s apparently disavowed any idea that law-abiding citizens should own these types of firearms. In fact, he\u2019s not just a paid Senior Firearms Analyst for Everytown for Gun Safety, he\u2019s also an author on their online publication, The Smoking Gun. That\u2019s where he gets paid to smear gun owners and the firearm industry, attacking\u00a0.2<\/a><\/strong>2 caliber MSRs<\/a>\u00a0and smearing\u00a0SHOT Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n When he\u2019s not doing that, he\u2019s the darling of the left by being a witness in Everytown\u2019s frivolous lawsuits. He testified in\u00a0Chicago v. Westforth Sports<\/em>, the lawsuit that attempted to blame a licensed firearm retailer for criminals illegally straw purchasing firearms that were later recovered in Chicago. The city blamed the gun store for the actions of the criminals committing the crimes. Lickenbrock was happy to go along with the charade. For his part, he\u00a0testified<\/a>\u00a0that he believed Westforth Sports sold as many as five firearms to Illinois residents that had a part made of zinc alloy with a melting point below 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Chicago\u2019s frivolous lawsuit was ultimately dismissed.<\/p>\n Lickenbrock\u2019s utility as a \u201cgun guy for gun control\u201d doesn\u2019t end there. He\u00a0testified<\/a>\u00a0in Vermont in April 2024, to scare state lawmakers into supporting S. 209, a bill\u00a0banning privately-made firearms<\/a>\u00a0without a serial number, or as he\u2019d refer to them as \u201cghost guns.\u201d Never mind that it\u2019s been legal to make your own firearm for your own use in America since before America became America. And never mind that the bill didn\u2019t go after criminals misusing firearms. It only targets law-abiding gun owners.<\/p>\n \u201cIn other words, none of S.209\u2019s provisions are particularly burdensome,\u201d he\u00a0testified<\/a>. \u201cI say that as a gun owner who has gone through the background check process numerous times.\u201d<\/p>\n See that part? \u201cAs a gun owner\u2026\u201d Some call that a \u201cuseful idiot.\u201d That bill passed into law without the governor\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n His latest was testifying in Colorado to ban the same rifles he\u2019s written about, shot and presumably possesses.<\/p>\n Even his book promoting safe gun storage was panned as dubious. It\u2019s #288,587 on the Amazon best seller list and earns a 2.7-star rating, with 58 percent of those only getting one star.\u00a0The first review is telling<\/a>.<\/p>\n I honestly thought that I was reading satire for the first 15 minutes or so, that\u2019s how surreal it is.<\/em><\/p>\n Not only is the author not an expert, he\u2019s less knowledgeable regarding firearms that many of the novice shooters that I know. This is nothing but anti-gun propaganda dressed up as a \u201cguide\u201d, and is full of incorrect information that will get you thrown in prison or killed. Buy something else.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n That\u2019s not the only one. Another started, \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a book full of outright lies and half-truths about guns, this is your book. It took me longer than I\u2019m proud to admit to realize that it was not satire.\u201d And another begins, \u201cThis guy doesn\u2019t have very much knowledge on firearms. He is anti 2A and makes some outrageous claims against people that are in the 2A space.\u201d<\/p>\n The picture paints itself. So does this charade. Lickenbrock added in his testimony that the Colorado bill\u2019s requirements aren\u2019t a burden, and the modification could be achieved by manufacturers using an \u201cepoxy-weld\u201d to permanently fix magazines to a receiver. He even said that if police needed to verify if a firearm was compliant, it wouldn\u2019t be an inconvenience to the lawful gun owner.<\/p>\n \u201cThere may be cases where they [police] have to fire the gun to see if it\u2019s semiautomatic,\u201d Lickenbrock\u00a0testified<\/a>. \u201cThey may need to take it to a range to tug on that magazine but I really don\u2019t think it would be that much of a burden.\u201d<\/p>\n Except that having your firearm seized and held and your Constitutional rights deprived is a burden.<\/p>\n Lickenbrock isn\u2019t an expert on anything.
