Wilmette gun ban off the books - Illinois Gun Victory
2008-07-24 21:25:00

2008-06-26 16:26:00
WASHINGTON (AP) - John McCain welcomed a Supreme Court decision invalidating a District of Columbia handgun ban.

Obama & Gun Control
2008-06-16 06:04:00
I guess, just like every typical American Liberal, Obama is a flip-flopper too.  This time on gun control. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” — Barack Obama, Remarks At Fundraiser, Philadelphia, PA, 6/14/08 I guess you could say that Obama was for gun control (his entire political career) before he was against it ...
The NRA "smears" Obama?
2008-06-08 19:19:00
NRA Smears Obama's Stance on Gun Ownership. Barack Obama is trying to walk a fine line between protecting the right to bear arms guaranteed under the Second Amendment and clamping down on more than 30,000 deaths from firearms that happen every year in the United States. ... The laws Barack Obama supports that the NRA are vehemently against include sensible acts like: * Mandatory waiting periods to purchase a gun * Requiring citizens to actually register their firearms * Mandatory micro stamping of guns to aid tracing weapons * Banning inexpensive handguns that make it easier for criminals to acquire * Limit gun purchases to one gun a month * Require training for gun owners * Restrict gun ownership to citizens 21 and older * Eliminate right to carry concealed weapons read more

Tom Elben and Appeasment Strategy
2008-05-29 13:07:00
I am sure many of you have seen this on a number of other sites:NRA's slippery slope full of holes Again we get to the "reasonable controls" and "intelligent compromises" without actually statement of what these phrases mean. The short answer is a new red-tape hassle that doesn't solve the underlying problem, and stands to create new criminals rather than punishing the ones we already have. Consider a person who has some prohibited weapon, a magazine that is too big, a serial number that is too high, a caliber that is too scary, a grip that is too pistol-like, or some other qualifying feature. Depending on where this person lives this is either a serious crime or a big fat nothing. read more

Relaxation on Gun Control, Unlicensed Sales Contribute to Gun Violence in O
2008-05-22 22:24:00
Here are a few paragraphs from the article for you to read: Easy access to guns has dire consequences. "There would be fewer fatalities if guns weren't so easy to get," said Deane Calhoun, founder and director of Youth ALIVE!, an Oakland organization dedicated to preventing youth violence. "Kids used to talk about using a knife to go after someone," she said. "And to use a knife you have to look at someone directly and be near to them. With an assault gun, you can just spray ? drive by and spray bullets. You don't have to look at the person." The distance that shooting a gun allows takes away a deterrent: Seeing that your victim is a human being, Calhoun said. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when guns are stored in a home there is a threefold increase in the risk of homicide by someone in that home, and a fivefold increase in the risk of suicide. MY opinion? One day guns will be relegated into the annals of history and parents will say to their children while lo...

On Friday McCain addresses the NRA’s annual convention in Louisville. Perhaps the ...
Gun Control in Albany
2008-05-14 04:00:00
Politicians in Albany, New York, are keeping up their anti-gun ways. Their "task force on gun violence" is meeting to come up with new gun control laws, even when 80 percent of the violent crime in Albany doesn't involve guns at all. Doesn't it make more sense for politicians to focus on people committing violent crime, instead of guns? Of course it does - if the politicians are really serious about making Albany safer. But they're more interested in getting headlines than providing solutions....(read more)

The fruits of gun control
2008-05-09 11:02:00
Fifty-four shootings in two weekends. Shot-up bodies recovered in groups of three and five. Is this Ramadi? Basra? No. Welcome to Chicago. After a recent outbreak of gun-related violence, Mayor Richard Daley is now pushed into supporting a plan by new Police Superintendent Jody Weis to arm 13,000 Chicago police officers with assault rifles. Depending on how many weapons are eventually deployed, this may develop into the largest militarization of police patrol officers in United States history. If the department arms 10,000 of their officers with M4s, the police will have 9,900 more assault rifles in Chicago than the U.S. Marines presently have in Fallujah, Iraq.

Gun control is based on false premises
2008-05-07 18:18:00

Law and Policy
2008-04-17 02:07:00
The previous post about Wal-Marts decision to support Bloomberg's gun control agenda leads me back to the subject of law and policy. Wal-Mart as a private entity can do or disclose any information it feels like disclosing to anyone it feels like disclosing it too, so long as that information isn't protected by law. Free and easy disclosure of all of this personal information is totally harmless as long the recipients are completely benevolent. Corruption anywhere along the way makes these disclosures dangerous. At some level you have an employee with your purchasing habits. If they think you are dangerous they can inform the government, if they think you are immoral they can inform their fringe activist friends. What is to prevent an employee from red-flagging a customer? read more

Guns on Campus
2008-04-05 22:14:00
On Guns at Universities Some will argue that if there were armed students that it would minimize the effects of such events. Perhaps. But using the NIU sitiuation as an example, if a guy jumps out from behind a curtain into a lecture hall and starts shooting, the surprise factor alone could have allowed him to shoot 22 plus himself, as happened here. Indeed, if some dude in the back row happened to be packing heat and tried to shoot back there would be the whole crossfire problem. read more
Gun Control Opposes Even Passive Defensive Tools

'Bullet proof hoodie' condemned by gun (control) groups (Retitled because across the atlantic a 'gun group' is against firearms ownership.) Body armor reduces the chance of injury if you are shot, but apparently in Britain that constitutes encouraging violence: But gun control groups said today that the company was practising ?exploitation at its most grotesque?. They predicted a rise in gang violence, saying children would buy the hoodie as a status symbol. Raymond Stevenson, a spokesman for Don?t Trigger, an international anti-gun campaign based in Brixton, London, said: ?It?s not helping kids to provide them with bullet-proof armoury. These companies are just encouraging the escalation of the urban warfare. read more

They're consistently ignoring Barack Obama's statements that he "supports" the Second Amendment, and they're also consistently ignoring Senator Obama's repeated calls for the kind of gun control that would spell the end of the Second Amendment as we know it. Back in 1999, Obama called for a laundry list of gun control , including a 500 percent increase in taxes on firearms and ammunition. He called for bans of affordable handguns....(read more)
