IMHO, they might try to close the "gun show loophole" in a lameduck Congress.

Thomas Sowell: The Point of No Return

Dems retreat on health care cost pitch (promises to "improve it")

Mayor Bloomberg talks gun control with Sestak

Please, No More Teachable Moments Victor Davis Hanson

Say a prayer for Tolik whose last post was on Feb. 26, IIRC. I'm afraid Tolik has gone to a better place. If anyone wants to start a new Victor Davis Hanson ping list, you can put my name on it.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

We’re not taking anything up the ass, they will be. All of those hundreds of millions of guns were all lost in unfortunate accidents involving lakes and streams. They can pass all the laws they want, no one is going to comply with them. f ‘em.

National lawmakers were in Chicago holding a Congressional hearing on proposed gun control legislation today.

When did the Democrats unilaterally change the national capitol to Chicago? Or are they just lost because they don't read maps any better than they read their own legislation?

CAMP GUNFREE!

A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life. MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!

Details below.

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Are you as alarmed as the United Nations and some within our own government about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos allowed to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

Nazi Germany Weapons Law (1938) §1: "Jews are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority."

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.

The unique main gate at Camp GunFree.

The sign over the beautiful wrought iron gate declares: “NO FIREARMS ALLOWED!” Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns will ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.

Camp Director, Oberstfurher Koch, and his crack staff are here to see to your COMPLETE safety from dangerous firearms.

Spacious and comfortable sleeping accommodations are a hallmark of Camp GunFree. Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist – even if for a short time -- in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized play activities.

Current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

I don’t know what has happened since but I know they were leaning toward at least a tacit endorsement of Reid.

I agree. Maybe it’s just the crowd I hang with, but I don’t know a single gun owner who does not voice clearly that THAT is the line they will not cross. And most think it’s coming soon. Get and hide your unregistered firearms while you can.

A decent government in DC would make it a Federal felony to even propose or try to pass a law restricting the 2nd. This has always been my complaint about the defensive, finger-in-the-dike approach of the NRA to this continuous onslaught.

You see this is why applying the 2nd amendment to the States is a bad idea. Now the same exceptions which are applied by the individual state and local governments can and will be applied by the by Washington D.C. upon all of us whether we want them or not.

There is no room for live and let live among liberals, EVERYONE has to do things their way! Everyone has to be made subject to their “benevolent” laws telling them how to live their live and govern themselves.

The lawless Federal Government knows no limit to its power particular as it has now applied the same limits to the states. Making our States little more then a redundant government.

It's too soon for any endorsements, and now Reid voted for Sotomayor and Kagan.
