... "In a Tuesday morning press release, Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, called the Justice Department’s investigations regarding Rosen and La Jeunesse 'deplorable and despicable.'"
"'It’s a clear sign that the Obama administration is not simply out of touch, it is out of control,' Gottlieb stated. 'It is time for Congress to put a check on the Executive branch and rein these people in, and it is also time for Attorney General Eric Holder to go.'"
"Gottlieb also noted that, 'It is the role of the press to be a watchdog on government, not the other way around.'" ... |

"Ruh roh. You know it’s getting bad out there when Jon Stewart, one of the premier forgers of what passes for conventional wisdom, starts crumpling paper and screaming MOTHERF****R! Repeatedly. Last week we asked if the burden of handling the cascading scandals the Obama administration is now juggling means they’ll be too busy dodging suddenly pointed inquiries from their former fluffers in the the White House press corps to have Double Barrel Joe Biden flying around recruiting cannon fodder for another crack at gun control legislation. The consensus of the Armed Intelligentsia was, well, mixed. But Stewart doesn’t really sound optimistic . . ." ... |

"I just finished reading an article published at huffingtonpost.com summarizing the disagreement Ted Nugent and his brother Jeffrey have over expanded background checks. Nuge’s elder brother is for expanding them, while, as you’d guess, younger brother Ted opposes expanding existing law. They posted dueling op-ed articles and are both respectful in their agreement to disagree. Very commendable of them both, and they earn my respect regardless of their conflicting views. I only wish my own don’t-agree-with-you-about-gun-control brotherly conflict was as agreeable . . ." ... |

"And I agree with Ted that our constitutional right to bear arms should not be undermined. I want all those who are qualified to purchase a gun to be able to do so. But — and here is where I part ways with my brother — not everyone is qualified to own a gun, so expanded background checks should be a legislative priority." ... |

"The gun control leadership portrays gun owners as violence-prone cavemen, and gun owners’ organizations such as the National Rifle Association as evil gangs financed by shadowy money men whose agenda is to block passage of common sense gun safety legislation."
"The opposite is true. Eighty million gun owners are law-abiding citizens who finance their activities and organizations by membership dues and legal, voluntary donations. ..."

The full scope of the threat may not be felt for decades, but the case GOA builds is compelling.
