An opinion piece in the New York Times by columnist Gail Collins has ignited a discussion that includes some alarmingly false impressions about the Second Amendment, and some clear misunderstandings about the difference between rights and a privileges.

Collins indicates in responses to various readers she is not a fan of guns, but it is some of the reader responses to which Second Amendment activists should pay attention. They offer a view into the anti-gun mindset that can be both frustrating and amusing, as well as disappointing. Friday morning, there were more than 925 responses to the Collins article, headlined Ready to Nag About Gun Control?

In 2004, the Hornady Manufacturing Company introduced the .17 Hornady Mach 2 (.17 HM2) using a .22 LR case that had been extended and necked down. This cartridge should not be mistaken for the Hornady .17 HMR, which is based on the case of a .22 Magnum. The .17 HM2 is designed to take varmint at 100 yards or more, and performs the task admirably. It develops a similar amount of energy as the .22 LR in foot pounds, but it travels at a higher velocity resulting in a flatter bullet trajectory.

Second Amendment supporters, though, often find people questioning this mindset often because they dont know the current laws, how little they are enforced, or what anti-Second Amendment extremists ultimately want to subject this country to.

A Second Amendment rally was held in downtown Twin Falls Thursday night, and the people who organized and attended the event want the city leaders to do what some other Magic Valley cities have done in recent months, make Twin Falls a Second Amendment Sanctuary City. The rally was organized by Lanny Denton and Forrest Anderson, and at the event, the two men were collecting signatures for a petition that will be submitted to the city council Monday night that will request the city council to direct city staff to draft a resolution to make Twin Falls a Second Amendment Sanctuary City. Once drafted they want the city council to have a vote to adopt the resolution.
