The March on Washington on 12 September will likely represent the culmination of all the anger and resentment that the Obamanoids' various grabs for power have generated all over the country. We have all, I think, participated in various Tea Parties in our local AOs and have experienced the indignation, the building rage at being forced by our "betters" to shut up, pay up and do what we are told. For the first time in my life, I think liberty-loving people, every-day folks, are ready to march in the streets in numbers. And frankly, I want to be there when they do. . . The march . . . is about liberty. And where people demanding liberty are, that's where the Three Percent need to be. |

"Industry wide, a lot of the new guns introduced and promised at the SHOT Show the first of the year have been held up. The reason is that demand for certain current-line models has been so great that to keep up with it, the newer entries had to be pushed to the back burner. It’s true of many companies, and it is certainly true of Smith & Wesson."
"I'm presently at a gun writers' seminar in Tulsa, on the splendid USSA (United States Shooting Academy) range.

"Gun advocates can trot out limitless reasons to own what Daley calls an 'assault weapon,' including target shooting, collecting, self-defense and competition shooting. Plus, the simple fact is the right to bear arms as affirmed in the U.S Constitution means citizens don't need a reason to own a gun."
"Although not always listed by pro-gun advocates, Daley's anti-gun policies are a primary reason to own an 'assault type gun.' Since, without the right to bear arms, freedom hating elected officials like Daley can impose their views on the citizenry." ... |

CNN’s Rick Sanchez and Ed Henry spent a few minutes Tuesday discussing the potentially dire implications of citizens simultaneously exercising both their First and Second Amendment rights.

Meet Calvin Lockner, aka "Hitler." Calvin is a convicted sex-offender who, with two other brave young Aryan lads, beat up an old black man fishing under a bridge in a park in Maryland. They knocked him to the ground, kicked him, beat him with fists and a baseball bat, then stole $19 from his wallet and his car. Cowardly bastards.
Now if Maryland allowed its law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in parks, then this elderly citizen could have killed all three of these scum-suckers in righteous self defense, and the gene pool could have been saved from possible future pollution.
Another missed opportunity courtesy of killer citizen disarmament laws.

"It seems to have started when William Kostric decided to show up outside the president's health-care forum in New Hampshire last week with a gun strapped to his leg. ... On Monday, a dozen gun-toting men, including one with an assault rifle, were outside Mr. Obama's speech to veterans in Phoenix.
