"After Senator Joseph Lieberman released contents of his letter to Attorney General Eric Holder supporting a proposed long gun sales reporting requirement in southwest states, the [CCRKBA] today urged Lieberman to instead support an on-going investigation of the [ATF's] botched Project Gunrunner."
"In a letter to Sen. Lieberman, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb reminded him that press reports and documents relating to Gunrunner indicate that the ATF 'abetted the movement of firearms into the illicit gun market, and ultimately to drug cartels in Mexico.' ..." ... |

"The Second Amendment Foundation today publicly thanked the National Rifle Association and California Rifle & Pistol Association for sponsoring two new legal actions that seek enforcement of a case SAF won in 1994 against the City of Los Angeles regarding concealed carry permits."
"The case, Assenza v City of Los Angeles, resulted in a judgment against the city ... for the amount of $50,000."
"'We still have an enlarged photocopy of that check on our wall at the SAF office,' said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. 'The city has continually failed to live up to the court order that requires the Los Angeles Police Department to issue applications for concealed weapons permits.'" ... |

... "Still, if Sen. Lieberman is so concerned about semi-automatic rifles wending their way from U.S. gun shops to Mexican cartels, perhaps someone ought to ask him why he’s not demanding full and open hearings into 'Project Gunrunner' allegations, and insisting on getting to the bottom of ATF management stonewalling accusations—before insisting on giving them yet more power over the very area where their own employees are saying they can’t be trusted."

"It's that time of year again -- the time when the Brady Campaign releases its annual scores and rankings, lavishing praise on state governments that infringe upon the rights of their citizens and scorn on those that respect the Constitution. This year, the occasion was met with about as much enthusiasm as that other spring ritual, the income tax filing deadline. If this is the first you're hearing of the new rankings, let's hope that's because the mainstream media has finally come to its senses about this annual publicity stunt." ... |

"Guns don't kill people. People kill people. But homicidal tendencies are not evenly distributed throughout the general population. Criminals, crazies and terrorists pose a heightened threat."
"That's why even those of us who strongly support the Second Amendment also support federal laws prohibiting the most dangerous among us from purchasing or possessing firearms and explosives1."
"There's one problem with what I've written above: The restrictions in place for convicted felons and the seriously mentally ill do not apply to those on terrorist watch lists. ..." ...

"'Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead,' Ted Nugent tells CNN's Piers Morgan. 'Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless, people that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones, we're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun.'" ... |

... "David Keene of the Washington Times says, 'no other organization has done more to protect the Second Amendment' than the National Rifle Association."
"Maybe David hasn’t heard of Gun Owners of America (GunOwners.org) or Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO.org), a conservative group founded by several Jewish Americans in Hartford, Wisconsin."
"While the overrated NRA gets most of the ink, some of its activities are questionable. Too often the NRA plays ball with the liberal establishment. The NRA sat on the sideline during the Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination while GOA actively fought to defeat her, pointing out her support for gun control. The NRA sometimes backs the wrong candidate ..." ... |

"Tom Givens’ National Tactical Conference and Polite Society match finished up last weekend at the fabulous US Shooting Academy range in Tulsa. About 100 attendees picked from a smorgasbord of hands-on fighting classes, live-fire tactical shooting programs, and relevant classroom lecture. There was a smattering of military, and I’d guess about 15% or so police, with the rest of the student body and staff made up of armed citizens." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
