Gun Enthusiasts Mobilize in Blogosphere in New Era For Grassroots

A massive and seemingly mobilized online community has sprung among gun rights advocates readying for any possible action by the Democratic-led Congress to limit an individual's right to bear arms.

While activity on gun issues has been light in recent years — no Million Mom march or action to renew the assault weapons ban that expired two years ago — an explosion of activity among Web loggers shows Second Amendment purists are anything but complacent with the new majority.

"Blogging is sort of like a gun store, you get a whole bunch of guys around the store, really just to talk," said Gunner Miller, who runs the No Quarters Web site. "It has a swarm effect — if we see a problem, we all start swarming on it."

Nobody knows that better than Jim Zumbo, a well-known outdoorsman with a 40-year relationship with the National Rifle Association. Zumbo recently lost his weekly television program on the Outdoor Channel, his decades-long gig as hunting editor for the magazine Outdoor Life and many of his big-name sponsors, including Remington Arms Co., for which he was a spokesman, in a matter of days over comments he made on his personal blog about so-called assault weapons.

Liberals burning desire is to take away all guns so Liberals can have "total" control of the country. Queen Pelosi, King Hillary, and their court jesters Murtha, Kerry, Schumer, Reid, Rangel want total control and to rule!

If Rangel had the power, you, your family, your dog and cat would be in gulags.

I keep repeating "the silent majority better start screaming" before all our rights are stolen by Liberals, before we don't have a military, before our country is attacked again by Islamic fanatics, and before we're ruled by Liberals. Sounds ridiculous? Think again.

The old phrase "stand up and be counted" comes to mind. Pelosi and Queen Hillary think of themselves as rulers who can control our lives. IMO, they look down upon the American people as idiots who need to be wards of the state.

Republicans that sat home during the last election in order to teach RINOs a lesson, cut off their noses and our noses, and left us with Liberals bent on destroying this great nation.

I've never liked plastic guns. /grin

Oh I like plastic "heaters" just fine, I've got two of them, (meaning they have polymer frames) but plastic hooters, I don't care for. Only the Real Deal for me.
