... "The exact nature of the easing of restrictions has not been specified, but 'the security minister suggested the rules would relax carrying restrictions for private security guards and off-duty army officers,' WSJ continued. That confirms the discussion is focusing on the 'Only Ones,' and private citizens will still be relegated to either second-class status or else be forced to make a choice that could bring criminal charges. 'In Israel, carrying a gun is not a right granted by the constitution, but rather a privilege given to those few who pass background checks and who can demonstrate a real need for possessing firearms.'" ... |

"We have discussed recently the Washington State ballot initiative, successful in the recent election, that will outlaw all private sales of firearms (because a sale in which the prospective buyer's criminal history--and increasingly even medical history--is first combed through by the FBI, is anything but 'private'). That discussion was about the threat posed by this new approach by the gun ban zealots--using a lavishly funded media blitz to dupe low information voters into passing oppressive 'gun control' ballot initiatives. A very useful breakdown of the future of that threat in other states can be found here, by the way." ... |

"Readers can thank Judicial Watch for prying the latest embarrassing documents out of the Obama administration, as part of its effort to uncover the full story behind Operation Fast & Furious. Last night’s document dump deals with a related matter — the attempt to keep the media at bay and spin the news to the best advantage of Barack Obama and outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder. The DoJ provided another set of documents, totaling more than 42,000 pages, under court order to JW on November 18th, and they make it clear that the White House took it upon themselves to pressure CBS into silencing Sharyl Attkisson:" ... |

"Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder’s Friday video message to police in Ferguson, Mo. ... may have taken a credibility trip to nowhere after the FBI reportedly arrested two men yesterday in an alleged gun and bomb plot in connection with the planned protests."
"... They are alleged to have illegally purchased two Hi-Point .45-caliber pistols, according to the CBS report, quoting court documents."
"Holder’s video, extolling the virtues of peaceful protest and public safety, encouraged law enforcement to be restrained. The First Amendment protects the right of free speech and protest, but it doesn’t protect the use of bombs or guns." ... |

I’m still optimistic that some of them will be promising performers that will rival the best I’ve found so far.

"'Guns lead to thousands of deaths and injuries among children every year. More American homes have guns than dogs, and nearly 1,500 children younger than 18 years of age die from shootings every year. ... Of course, it is important to educate children on what to do when they come across dangerous situations, such as unsupervised firearms. But why put the blame and pressure on children to handle dangerous firearms correctly?' Wait, does your head hurt after reading that, too? Good, I thought it was only me. What passes for logic in Anna Eskamani’s green-skied world evidently means lamenting the deaths of children who find unsecured firearms while decrying attempts to teach them what to do if they find an unsecured firearm . . ." ... |

"According to the Second Amendment, 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' If we take it away from the citizens, they will say we are violating their rights. But have you thought about the victims who have been shot or killed? Their right was also violated! That right was their right to live."

"... The Second Amendment, expressing the right to bear arms is a very controversial topic. Though it is a topic of great controversy, there is a simple solution: stricter gun control. Gun control laws should be more strict because it will decrease the death toll, decrease gun violence, and will prevent criminals from obtaining guns."
"Stricter gun laws will greatly decrease gun violence on the street. The number of children that are injured from a gun is very high in the United States. In fact, 'Almost one child or teen an hour is injured by a firearm seriously enough to require hospitalization, a new analysis finds. ...'" ... |

"On November 22 the Tallahassee Democrat called for the repeal of the Second Amendment and a total ban on handguns and 'assault rifles.'"
"For those who respond by saying that taking guns from law-abiding citizens will only leave them in the hands of criminals the Democrat says, 'That's a chance worth taking.'"
"The anti-Second Amendment piece was written by Democrat columnist Gerald Ensley, who argues that attacks like the one at FSU on November 20 prove the need for repealing the Second Amendment and banning certain categories of guns." ... |

"When someone with a gun walked into Strozier Library this morning, presenting an imminent threat to the lives of students ... his book provided the philosophical and legal frameworks for the right of those students and library employees to defend themselves, but provided no physical defense." ... |

"Previously in San Diego, carrying concealed guns required a good cause for authorization, such as a specific, identifiable threat to a person. This is no longer the case since the law was weakened by a split 9th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals decision. Now the rather ambiguous need for self-defense can serve as justification to apply for a concealed gun permit. There still needs to be carefully placed restrictions on the handling and distribution of firearms, despite allowing more people to apply for gun permits."
"Since the ruling of the panel, it is unclear how many requests for gun permits will be granted. ..." ... |

At the table operated by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Second Amendment Foundation, dozens of people had the same question: What now?"
"This is the last gun show prior to when I-594 becomes effective early in December. Several people wanted to know if SAF and/or the National Rifle Association are going to take legal action. That appears to be a primary concern of the gun prohibitionists who spent millions of dollars to pass the measure." ... |

"I am writing to tell you why I think we have a problem with our gun law in Iowa. On Jan. 1, 2011, the Iowa Senate passed a bill changing the laws permitting Iowans to carry guns. The new bill allows open or concealed carry of rifles, handguns and shotguns."
"I think this creates uneasiness in our community and is a potential danger to our citizens. ..."
"I believe creating stricter gun laws would reduce the amount of gun violence. By allowing people to arm themselves, we create a greater risk for shootings, as well as an image problem. This law tells young people guns aren’t harmful. They won’t realize how dangerous guns are and will have greater access to them." ... |
