Gun-rights advocates on Friday protested President Obama's visit to Roseburg, Ore., where he will meet families of the victims of last week’s shooting at Umpqua Community College.
Around 300 people gathered to protest Obama before his arrival in Roseburg, according to The Register-Guard newspaper. Demonstrators held signs saying “Go Away” and “Obama Free Zone.”
Opponents and supporters of Obama lined the motorcade route as he traveled to the site of the meeting.
“It’s unconscionable to me that he would take the pain and the agony of people who just lost a loved one and basically say, no matter what you say and what you think, I’m going to use your personal tragedy for his own political agenda,” |

A recent self-defense course prompted a question about whether a victim could face legal action as a result of fighting off an attacker.
The course was for women, but self-defense laws are gender-neutral. Whether a victim could face legal consequences depends on what the attacker did and how the victim defended himself or herself.

While the FBI continued to analyze the emails Hillary Clinton thought she deleted and her advisers pressed her to hire a Republican criminal defense attorney in Washington, a madman used a lawfully purchased handgun to kill a professor and eight students at a community college in Roseburg, Ore. Looking to change the subject away from her emails, Clinton was quick to pounce.

The U.S. Supreme Court could announce as early as Tuesday whether it will hear a challenge to a suburban Chicago law banning firearms commonly known as assault weapons.
If the court agrees to hear the case, it would cast a shadow over similar bans in seven states. But declining to take it up would boost efforts to impose such bans elsewhere, at a time of renewed interest in gun regulation after recent mass shootings.

Liberal Politicians Blinded by Feel-Good Policy on Guns

There is a difference between the political left and the political right. Boiled down to its simplest terms, those who want to conserve liberty feel a duty to do good. In contrast, those on the left want to feel good. That small difference leads to profoundly different policy proposals. Few topics highlight the difference as clearly as self-defense. We’ve seen a few mass murders in recent months, though more and more of them are copy cat events encouraged by the media. The political left says they have to do something, pass some law, to show their concern. The political right asks what would actually save lives.
I think saving lives would make you feel better.
Can we agree on that? |

Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed a law Saturday that bars law-abiding, licensed citizens from carrying guns on campuses in California for self-defense.
Brown signed the ban just over a week after unarmed students in gun-free facilities at Umpqua Community College (UCC) were shot and killed by a criminal who did not have to worry about victims being able to shoot back.

In August, The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof noted that gun violence claims one life every 16 minutes in the United States. Think about it. Every day, more than 90 American families are broken by gun violence. If you're like most people, you have come to feel that achieving any significant reduction in this disturbing statistic is hopeless. Because there are more than 300 million guns in private hands in the United States.

Albert Einstein famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
In regards to America’s endless epidemic of gun violence, he might have offered this definition: seeing the same massacre over and over again and doing nothing different. |

Since a shooter killed nine people Oct. 1 at an Oregon community college, Republican presidential candidates have sounded variations on one refrain: New gun laws aren't the solution.
"I don't think more government is necessarily the answer to this," former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said while discussing the Second Amendment and shootings, also saying: "Look, stuff happens. There's always a crisis."

Two St. Lawrence County legislators are taking steps they hope will allow St. Lawrence County residents to carry concealed handguns in public, and have been conferring with the National Rifle Association to test a new county law in court.
“We’re taking a lot of different approaches to see what the best course is, what would be the right direction to take,” said Joel LaPierre, a Republican from Fowler who represents the 4th District, and one of two sponsors of a local law that is aimed at easing restrictions placed on handgun permits by St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome Richards.

There’s the cycle of poverty. There’s the cycle of violence. And then there’s the cycle of gun talk. It starts with a mass shooting. Gun-control advocates blame the deaths on gun-control opponents, who argue, in turn, that none of the proposed restrictions would have had any effect on the incident in question. The debate goes nowhere. The media move on. |

His is an opinion firmly grounded in the Second Amendment. But how effective would this strategy be in the real world? |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
