I, too, get irritated with the way the nefarious 'Gun Lobby' is portrayed in the media. I personally know several of the people in the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance (GOCRA) who were instrumental in getting the Minnesota Citizens' Personal Protection Act (our 'shall-issue' law) passed, and I met some of the opposition, including Heather Martens, the Executive Director of Citizens for a Safer Minnesota (CSM)…"

"In October, I posted a graphic developed by Rob Vance that showed the progress in the growth of firearms carry rights from 1986 through 2011 as a percentage of the U.S. population. In 1986, 90% of the U.S. population lived in states that severely restricted carry rights or had none at all. Today, over two-thirds of Americans live in states with either shall-issue carry or constitutional carry. The conclusion was that shall-issue is the new norm."

... "Here's my conclusion: If anybody in the government, at any level of government, starts raiding American citizens' homes, putting black bags over their heads and carrying them off without due process, then the shooting begins whether they have a law that says they can or not. That's just a fact. Nothing repeals your natural, God-given and inalienable rights. No more free Wacos."
"So, my advice? Until you actually see the whites of the raid parties eyes, don't start shooting. No Fort Sumters. ..."
"In the meantime, do what you should have been doing all along -- preparing. Training. Fitness. Logistics. Planning defensive strategies for your local area."

"You might assume that revolution brews here in the 'Homeland,' given Our Rulers’ paranoia: both the House and Senate have passed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA); the bill requires only Obummer’s signature by December 26 to destroy the venerable, infinitely precious right of habeas corpus. Thereafter, the president may declare American citizens 'terrorists' with no evidence whatsoever and imprison them indefinitely."

Impelled, perhaps, by the irony of being part of a Labour government that was presiding over wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the treaty Straw called for will likely be adopted in July 2012. Today, British NGOs are among the treaty’s most vociferous advocates, with Oxfam calling with monotonous regularity for a 'bulletproof Arms Trade Treaty.'"
