... "While the spin put on all those claims is easily debatable, what’s not is that this is a continuation of a policy established from the outset to keep the bus tour itinerary a secret until the last minute to minimize the chances of opposing views being heard -- even though what MAIG is demanding will affect the fundamental rights of everyone."
"Tellingly, no mention of today’s stop appears in the local paper, the Akron Beacon Journal, or at least on their Ohio.com website at this writing. And Gun Rights Examiner signed up for a zip code-based notification at the inception of the tour, yet received no email. ..." ... |

"Among those citizens who place a high value on the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, few issues elicit more emotional intensity than gun rights."
"The Second Amendment is viewed as a bellwether as to how the nation as a whole, particularly the politicians, perceives and treats human freedom. The right to self defense using any of the tools available is so important to a large portion of the population that those who seek to limit that right are viewed with deep suspicion." ... |

"If you live in New Jersey and are named Robert Johnson, Kevin Johnson, James Rogers, or Mary Smith then I have bad news for you. Governor Chris Christie just signed a bill making you a second class citizen."
"... With a stroke of the pen, Governor Christie has stripped away the constitutional rights of thousands of New Jersey residents with no due process whatsoever."
"Among the 10 gun control bills that the New Jersey governor signed on August 8th was Assembly Bill 3687. This bill prohibits all those whose name appears on the secret ’Terrorist Watch List’ from obtaining firearms identification cards or permits to purchase a handgun." ... |

"Bullets are scarce. Anyone who has tried to buy ammunition recently in Montgomery or Prattville fully understands that ammo is in short supply." ...
"When local stores do receive a shipment, the stock is limited and it does not remain on the shelf for more than a few hours, sometimes mere minutes. Most stores, in an attempt to be fair, have implemented rationing ..."
"Although the president’s gun legislation failed to garner enough support in Congress to pass, limited supplies of ammunition accomplish the same end. To be fair, the latest attempt to pass gun legislation might have been the genesis for the current ammunition shortage, but there were, and are, other contributing factors." ... |

"Over at gunnuts.net, Caleb reckons it’s time for someone to shoot holes in the idea that a revolver is inherently more accurate than a semi-automatic pistol. And that someone is him. 'Back in the days before CNC machining, it was quite likely that if you took a brand new production revolver off the line and put it up against a brand new semi-auto pistol, the revolver would shoot more accurately. But now days, that’s not the case. To understand why, we have to look at the firing cycle of both guns.' And so he does . . ." ... |

"Yesterday ... this column noted what might be the most unforgivable aspect of Mayor Bloomberg's and the NYPD's [stop-and-frisk] jihad:"
"Perhaps most egregiously, one defense of the policy is that the objective is not really to catch criminals in the act (of carrying contraband--specifically guns). The idea behind stopping hundreds of thousands of blacks and Hispanics per year--the vast majority of them innocent--is to instill fear in every member of these ethnic groups ..."
"Incredibly, John Podhoretz. writing for the New York Post ... freely admits to seeing this (intimidation of entire ethnic groups, via police harassment of the innocent) as the point of NYPD's 'stop-and-frisk' crusade--and enthusiastically approves:" ... |

"Did you know that all handguns are semi-automatic? This means that all that stands between you and death is the pull of a trigger. Limited access to handguns would decrease violence, as has been proven in the past by numerous laws. In addition, the mass killings that throw a blanket of loss and sorrow upon our nation can only be done with guns."
"The opposing argument – that the Second Amendment applies and gives us the right to possess guns – is not supported with evidence, and is plain hogwash. ..." ... |

"Bronx secures funding for Operation SNUG, a proven anti-gun inititiative, nydailynews.com‘s spelling-challenged headline proclaims. Also fact deficient. As we reported when this coalition of ex-(?) gang bangers and ruthless pols 'Community, Government & Corporate Partnership' first started sucking on the taxpayer tit, there’s no evidence that 'violence interrupters' have reduced gang-related shootings. In fact, S.N.U.G. (Guns spelled backwards) isn’t even trying to measure their 'success.' Why would they? Like 'gun buybacks,' the program’s justification is based entirely on 'common sense.' In other words, it’s media-friendly feel-good fantasy. ..." ... |

"A law banning guns in municipal government meetings or buildings might not have prevented the tragedy in Ross Township, Monroe County - where a man who had a long-running property dispute with township officials allegedly killed three people who were attending a supervisors meeting."
"For one thing, the initial attack, according to police, came from outside the building. ..."
"But that doesn't mean we shouldn't make reasonable efforts to secure such facilities for the protection of public servants and citizens."
"And prohibiting firearms in such meetings would be a reasonable measure." ...
-------
Submitter's Note: Let's think about these prohibitions for a moment. Local gov't want to protect us from the group of people who meet all these criteria:
1) Who are cool-headed enough to obey the law and not bring guns to their meeting.
2) Who, are hot-tempered enough that if they had a gun at a meeting would be willing to commit murder.
3) Who are cool-headed enough that if they go to a meeting unarmed, lose their temper and decide to kill someone and go home to get their gun will, upon arriving home, say to themselves "You know I think I'll just make myself a sandwich instead of going back and shooting up City Hall."

"There may never be a perfect law or piece of legislation that will stop an emotionally disturbed person from doing evil things. But when gun violence kills an average of 30,000 Americans each year, even a few lives saved as a result of gun violence prevention is progress."

"The Obama administration, progressives in both political parties and many well-meaning individuals have been calling for additional gun control and background checks."
"Meanwhile, the administration facilitated the sale of guns to Mexican drug lords (the Fast and Furious operation); provided arms and aid to rebels in Egypt and Libya, many of who where members of the Muslim Brotherhood (the so-called Arab Spring); and provided arms to Syrian rebels (the scandal underlying the Benghazi coverup)."

"On the line is the elected office he has held since 2006, when he defeated Republican Ed Jones ... to become the first Democratic Senator from El Paso County since 1974."

"Since passage of the SAFE Act, membership in SCOPE (Shooters Committee on Political Education) has more than doubled, Steve Aldstadt, the group's state president, told the Genesee County chapter last night."
"There are now 5,400 members and new members continue to join at a record pace."
"'Unfortunately it took something like the SAFE Act to get everybody aware and involved,' Aldstadt said."

"Evergreen State gun owners have three things to cheer about this morning, starting with last night’s vote by the Pierce County Council to approve a range protection measure, pending final approval of the Department of Ecology."
"In addition, the City of Bellingham is paying $15,000 to a man who was confronted by a police officer for legally open carrying in a city park; an incident during which the cop drew his gun and aimed it at the armed citizen."
"The third case is a win for the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, as the City of Mill Creek repealed a ban on guns in city parks that violated state preemption, and it took a SAF letter to motivate the change." ... |

"There are a couple of problems with former Gary Mayor Richard Hatcher’s plea for the state to lift its ban on local gun control ordinances so Hoosier cities can figure out ways to limit the availability of guns."
"For one thing, it isn’t hard to show that 'availability of guns' isn’t really the problem. Just look at Gary, where the homicide rate is up 48 percent this year, and any other Indiana city where violence is much less prevalent. Guns are equally available in all of them, so there must be other factors in Gary’s violent crime problem. Look at gangs, for one thing, and the drug culture they facilitate." ... |

"I suspect they will accept nothing they read at that site, as they are thoroughly brainwashed by the 'gun grabber' crowd. It is most unlikely that anyone in Oakland shooting at children is the owner of a legally registered weapon or an NRA member." ... |
