"David Codrea, columnist and gun rights advocate, discusses the 'Fast and Furious' scandal implicating several government departments in helping gunrunners buy guns in the US and transport them to Mexico (apparently in order to boost statistics on illegal gun use, in order to justify more restrictive domestic gun laws)." |

The Honduran Congress has voted to ban motorcyclists from riding with passengers in a bid to curb a spate of drive-by killings.
The move follows two high-profile murders this week, both blamed on gunmen on motorbikes.
Congress also approved a wiretapping law proposed as part of efforts to tackle crime but which has raised privacy concerns.
Submitter's note: I guess they already banned the guns. |

From the first moment that the American people became aware that senior BATFE officials ordered agents in the field to allow guns sold in the U.S. to be smuggled on an all-but-certain path to Mexico’s vicious drug cartels, many of us have wondered “why.” What possible legitimate purpose could be fulfilled by allowing a large number of guns—over 2,000, by some estimates—to disappear across our southwestern border without the Mexican government’s knowledge? |

So far, NRA, 52 U.S. Representatives, two U.S. Senators, and multiple GOP Presidential candidates have called on Attorney General Eric Holder to resign because of his role in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive’s failed “Operation Fast and Furious.” Holder has steadfastly maintained that he and top Department of Justice officials did not know the scope or details of the operation until they became public earlier this year, but this week, in advance of hearings before the House Judiciary Committee, Holder called the “gun-walking” tactic used in the operation “inexcusable” and “wholly unacceptable.” He went on to say that many of the “walked” guns will likely continue to show up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico. |

Providing the option to ban concealed-carry handguns from "recreational facilities" was a bad change to House Bill 650, which became law on Dec. 1. It should never have occurred. The inclusion of that provision was a lame attempt by ignorant state legislators to water down the bill. The personal choice of some state representatives to refrain from carrying a weapon for self-defense does not extend to allowing legislators to take that choice from other North Carolinians regardless of the location in question. So, yes, concealed carry should be allowed anywhere in a park. |

Legislation that would strip U.S. funding from the United Nations if that world body adopts an international gun control treaty that threatens Second Amendment sovereignty is picking up co-sponsors and gathering Northwest support.
It is now no secret that the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was deeply involved in helping draft H.R. 3594, which was submitted on Dec. 7 by Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh, who delivered the keynote address at the Gun Rights Policy Conference in late September in Chicago. The GRPC is co-sponsored by the CCRKBA, along with its sister organization, the Second Amendment Foundation. |

“At a time when our constitutional freedoms are at stake,” Gottlieb concluded, “the only way to prevent their erosion by international treaty is to put in place the legislative mechanism to cut the U.N. off financially. We’re delighted that Walsh and nearly a dozen of his colleagues have the vision and intestinal fortitude to pursue that preventative measure. International gun grabbers need to keep their hands off of our Constitution, and out of our pockets.” |

Pike Countians will decide during the coming election whether to allow people to carry concealed weapons, but the decision will be moot because of state laws prohibiting such activity.
Illinois is among the only states that does not allow citizens to carry firearms in public. For Pike County resident Dan Mefford, this flies in the face of the Second Amendment.
That's why he and other supporters have filed a petition with the County Clerk to place a question allowing concealed carry on the primary ballot. |
