Lies and Gun Grabbers

We are an enlightened people who tend to do what is best for ourselves, our family and ultimately our nation. Our inalienable—that is, God given—rights form the most important part of our Constitution and have been ingrained in the psyche of the American people. The Second Amendment has stood the test of time even though it has been under attack from progressives for as long as I can remember.

In the past, there has been concern for individuals who owned guns, and this concern has reached a fever pitch. Congress was right to cut funding from the ATF to stop such regulations as banning the importation of some firearms and ammunition. It was also appropriate that Congress should make it illegal for the ATF to create a national gun registry.

The ATF has become one of the most lawless of federal bureaucracies thanks to its unending persecution of law abiding American gun owners. It was ATF agents who managed Operation Fast and Furious, an Obama/Holder project designed to convince the American public that new and more stringent gun control measures were necessary. The ATF is directly responsible for the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, yet no charges have been filed, no agents removed.

Why are radical, gun control advocates intent upon the implementation of legislation which will have no positive effect against crime or criminals? They concoct regulations that make absolutely no sense, like 10 round magazine restrictions. Don’t they understand that someone meaning to do a great amount of harm will just carry more magazines?

The “assault weapons” ban, based solely on cosmetics, lasted 10 years and had no effect whatever on crime or the murder rate. One weapon with a bayonet holder is considered an assault weapon, whereas the same weapon without, is...

Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

It’s not hard to see why liberals and gun control go together like gasoline and a lighted match.

“Veterans are being singled out, having their guns taken away for such things as visiting a VA psychologist for minor depression”

This is IMPORTANT because this is likely the direction of gun control efforts for the near-term. The bottom line for ANYONE (not just veterans), including your kids, is to do all you can to stay clear of shrinks - we are getting close to the point where one bad answer to a shrink (and possibly even a regular doctor, but we really can’t stay clear of them) can get you on the no-gun-allowed list.
