Civil Rights Leader Innis, Who Moved from Liberalism to Libertarianism, Dies at 82

Civil rights icon Roy Innis, who for over 50 years in public life confounded stereotypes and the conventional wisdom of politics, died Sunday morning in New York City after a long illness. He was 82. Roy got up every day and followed his conscience on what he thought was right, and if that led him to collide with political correctness, he was willing to take the heat, said Wayne LaPierre, a longtime Innis friend and CEO of the National Rifle Association.
A tall and muscular enigma wrapped in a conundrum, Mr. Innis was noted for being a compelling speaker at the podium but otherwise mild-mannered except when he wasnt.

SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: A great loss to us all. He will be missed.

Gun-rights groups have high hopes for a new bill looking to grant national reciprocity for Americans with concealed firearm permits, introduced just as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. The bill, put forward in the new Congress last week by Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., would allow gun owners with a state-issued concealed-carry license to have that license recognized in any other state that allows concealed carry. This also would apply to states that recognize so-called constitutional carry where a license is not required for a concealed handgun.

State Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard (D-43) will introduce a bill next week that would require criminal background checks for firearms sellers who are not licensed to sell but are looking to sell or transfer guns to another individual. What theyre trying to do is, if you wanted to go and buy a firearm from your next door neighbor, you would not be able to do that. They would make that illegal, said White Rock firearms dealer Stanley Hayes. It should be the same as you wanting to sell your car and you not having to take it to an auto dealer to sell it.

We Americans love our guns -- and apparently, we love them twice as much as we used to. We first twigged to this trend in 2015, when an astounding story on The Washington Post's Wonkblog site revealed that the average number of firearms owned by a "typical gun-owning household" had roughly doubled between 1994 and 2013, to 8.1 guns per household. The trend has only gone up since.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Ayn Rand in her must-read novel, Atlas Shrugged
