"The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has called out the White House and the gun control groups in a scathing press release that said, among other things, 'calling the gun prohibition lobby a 'gun safety' group is tantamount to suggesting that Ted Bundy was an advocate for battered women.'"

"The NRA had one—count it one—news conference following the sea-change spree killing at Sandy Hook. Once the Code Pink protesters got tossed, NRA Veep Wayne LaPierre tried and failed to communicate sympathy, resolve and a coherent plan of action. As expected, the media wailed on Wayne as an out-of-touch gun clinger. Mind you, that’s the PR side of the coin. Down in the trenches, The NRA has had great success with their lobbying campaigns. They’re the guys walking down the corridors of power making the pols pay attention to your Constitutionally protected right to keep and are bear arms. The issue I am seeing: the NRA is still in reactive mode . . ." ... |

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to self-defense and a hallmark of personal sovereignty. It is specifically insulated from governmental interference by the Constitution and has historically been the linchpin of resistance to tyranny. And yet, the progressives in both political parties stand ready to use the coercive power of the government to interfere with the exercise of that right by law-abiding persons because of the gross abuse of that right by some crazies in our midst." ... |

Between 1991 and 2011, civilian rifle ownership increased from an estimated 74 million to 112 million (51% growth). During that same period, the number of rifle homicide victims declined 57% (see graph below)." ...

"The hot new video at MRCTV.org is 1995 footage of Attorney General Eric Holder, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In his remarks before the Woman's National Democratic Club, broadcast by CSPAN 2, Holder said people should be ashamed to own guns, just the way that cigarette smokes now 'cower outside of buildings' to smoke." ... |

"CNN’s Piers Morgan, who is striving to make himself the face of gun-control zealotry, made the mistake of inviting Breitbart.com editor Ben Shapiro onto his show Thursday night. They’re still cleaning up the wreckage."
"Shapiro is the author of a new book, called 'Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans.' He did a very good job of working Morgan’s use of the Newtown dead into his thesis. Morgan didn’t like it at all. He also recoiled when Shapiro’s pocket copy of the Constitution came out, deriding it as 'your little book.' I believe Count Dracula once had a similar conversation with Abraham van Helsing." ... |

"In the extended national conversation about guns that has unfolded since the shootings in Newtown, Conn., the decision by The Journal News, a newspaper based in White Plains, to publish the names and addresses of handgun permit holders in two suburban New York counties last month has emerged as a flash point."
"More than two weeks after the newspaper published the information on permit holders in the form of an interactive map on its Web site, fallout from the move continues to churn. Adding fuel to the debate, the Web site, Gawker, published a list on Tuesday of gun permit holders in New York City." ... |

"Morgan told BBC's Newsnight: 'What happens here [in the U.S.] affects me, my life and that of my family. The guns issue here is now so dangerous and out of control that something has to give.'"
"'The reaction of the gun lobby was to say more guns, less crime, arm everybody, so this spiraling descent into gun madness continues. I do find it stupid and I do find it dangerous.'" ... |

"The Second Amendment consists of a single sentence ..."
"Why does the Second Amendment exist? It exists to arm the population in order to overthrow a tyrannical government. A critical safeguard against 'standing armies' and tyrants both foreign and domestic."
"A quote from Thomas Jefferson: 'The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.'"
"Guns save lives. Every time there is a crisis, politicians learn the wrong lesson and come up with the wrong solution and use the crisis as a reason to take away our freedoms and grow government bigger." ... |

"Kevin in NY writes:"
"I am a 19-year-old volunteer firefighter living in New York. I also own an AR-15 rifle that is ban compliant. This means that I have spent well over a thousand dollars buying and modifying the rifle to make it legal in NY State, something that people in other states with less violent crime do not need to do. My AR-15 is the best home defense weapon possible for me to own in NY. As I am not yet 21, I cannot apply for a permit to purchase a pistol. Even so, I believe that my rifle is perfect for me. I hope I never need to use it to protect myself or those I love, but I know that it is the best possible firearm to do so with. ..." ... |

"The predictable and reflexive divisions in the gun control debate have emerged since the slaying of 27 people Dec. 14 in Newtown. ..."
"Until now, what has been missing is a middle ground that responsible gun owners can support. Hoffman’s Gun Center and Indoor Shooting Range ... has adopted a policy concerning the sale of assault-style rifles, like the one used in Newtown, that should serve as a voluntary model for other gun dealers and could be a basis for any additional state gun legislation."
"Although it could probably sell an unlimited number of assault-style rifles given recent panic buying, Hoffman’s will no longer sell the weapons to anyone who does not have a Connecticut pistol permit. ..." ... |

"In line with a national trend, the demand for concealed handgun licenses in Lane County has soared since a gunman armed with a
semiautomatic rifle carried out a massacre at a Connecticut elementary school last month."
"A total of 237 people filed permit applications with Lane County sheriff’s officials between Dec. 17 and New Year’s Eve, a period in which the department’s licensing office was open for just 10 days."
"That’s about 2˝ times the number of Lane County residents — 93 — who applied for permits between Dec. 1 and Dec. 14, the day of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 students and six educators dead." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. — Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776). |
