Bob Barr Calls Heller Decision on Gun Rights “One of Court’s Most Impor
2008-06-26 19:24:00 Bob Barr Calls Heller Decision on Gun Rights “One of Court’s Most Important Rulings on behalf of Liberty ”Washington , DC - Today the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the individual right of Americans to own guns in District of Columbia v. Heller. The ruling “will go down as one of the Supreme Court’s most important rulings on behalf of liberty,” says Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr. Until today, the Court had never held that the Second Amendment directly applied to individuals. “Today’s decision marks a new era for gun rights in America ,” explains Barr, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association. Barr also drafted the Libertarian Party’s amicus curiae brief in Heller. “By protecting an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, the Second Amendment ensures that all Americans are able to participate in sporting activities, hunt, and protect themselves and their families,” he explains.The rig...
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

Unorganized Militia Propaganda Corps - This Is Misguided
2008-05-28 16:09:00 Unorganized Militia Propaganda Corps I don't know why anyone would want to associate themselves with propaganda when the truth is on their side. Propaganda has the connotation of 'lying to win' despite of the quoted definition: 1. The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause. 2. Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause: wartime propaganda. This says nothing about empirical truth, but simply the dissemination of opinion. Propaganda is a lever for ignorance. We have seen it used by the gun-banners because they don't have facts on their side. read more

Pro-Gun Demographics
2008-05-15 15:50:00 This is some spot on commentary: Eating our own First and foremost is getting behind the constitutional right of the 2nd Amendment, because gun control needs to become a non-issue. If the constituencies of both parties reject these inane assaults on our liberties and safety then we can move on to disagree about the other issues. The NRA and other gun rights groups need to shed the image of fat white guys in cammo. The population of rural farmers is not growing as fast as that of urban minority groups. As a practical matter rural farmers are less likely to be targeted for crime and oppression than members of minority groups living in the inner cities. read more

Gun rights splits Pa. Democrats
2008-04-14 18:28:00 On Sunday gun rights took center stage for Pennsylvania Democrats in the suburbs of Philadelphia and the rural communities of the central part of the state as primary voters debated the meaning of Barack Obama?s statements about what motivates ?small-town? voters. Obama?s challenge: How to reach wealthy liberals in Philadelphia?s suburbs without alienating the central part of the state?s blue-collar masses. ?For Obama to win the state, he has to win the suburbs of Philadelphia big,? said Jon Delano, a Pittsburgh-based political analyst and adjunct policy professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Delano added, however, that ?a third of the Democrats are in southeastern Pennsylvania, a quarter are in southwestern Pennsylvania, and the remaining 40 percent are spread across hundreds of miles in nooks and crannies that require retail politics, and Clinton is very good at retail politics.?

Guns on Campus

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

Montanans insist on gun rights
2008-02-26 22:49:00 Montana officials are warning that if the Supreme Court rules in the D.C. gun ban case that the right to keep and bear arms protects only state-run militias like the National Guard, then the federal government will have breached Montana's statehood contract. Nobody is raising flags for the Republic of Montana, but nobody is kidding, either. So far, 39 elected Montana officials have signed a resolution declaring that a court ruling of the Second Amendment is a right of states and not of individuals would violate Montana's compact. "The U.S. would do well to keep its contractual promise to the states that the Second Amendment secures an individual right now as it did upon execution of the statehood contract," Montana Secretary of State Brad Johnson said in a Feb. 15 letter to The Washington Times. Let's talk about gun rights for a moment shall we? We all know it's a subject that's near and dear to my heart. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of ...

Mark Cuban - Traitor
2007-09-05 22:45:00 Mark Cuban and his Dallas Mavericks can go to hell. It has become clear that it was Cuban who financed Brian De Palma's hit piece on our troops in Iraq (for those of you lefties who want to see this it's called Redacted). I have not seen the film so I can't overtly bash it. Apparently they are saying that all of the troops portrayed are paid actors and that none of the film was actually shot in Iraq.De Palma is a very skilled film maker (he made Scarface) so the movie will probably be very well done. And this is the problem. More lefty filmmakers and gazillionaires actively denigrating those that allow them to do what they do. I guess I will never get it. What is the last movie Hollywood made that portrayed troops in modern war as the liberators they are? Seriously, I cannot have conversations with these people anymore. The fact is, if they get their way, then our grandchildren will be slaves. I pray there are more of us than there are of them.Pat Dollard has more. . . Related Po...

New Book Warns of Emerging Liberal Nanny State . . .
2007-07-16 16:11:00 Given the Libertarian slant of this web page, I think it most appropriate to push a book that discusses certain elements of this country and their attempts at eradicating personal responsibility and instituting a nanny state. David Harsanyi is releasing a new book called ?Nanny State: How Food Fascists, Teetotalling Do Gooders, Priggish Moralists, and Other Boneheaded bureaucrats are Turning America into a Nation of Children.?Harsaanyi describes the book in this following message:?Nanny State details the rise of the busybody -? those who act as our parents, making decisions for us in the name of health, safety and decency. Nanny State asks: Why are we allowing politicians, bureaucrats, and social activists to dictate what we eat, where we smoke, how much we drink or what we watch and read?
