Election Analysis: Gun Rights in Peril

Majority Leader Harry Reid is not that hostile, IMHO, but the grabbers are energized. It's no time to be complacent.

The gun grabbers give the lie to the notion all they want is to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. What they really want is to deny law-abiding people their right of self defense.

Someone should sue the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Standing, as in they have none.

Just like with the Obama birth certificate.

Of course, I WILL carry my gun into a Park, and should I need it, I WILL USE IT, laws be damned. You know the bad guy is not going to obey so why should I?

As they say, better judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Wow, talk about dumb. Heller will be raised, and a larger part of the gun ban could be nixed...

Ms Potato Head and her handlers can kiss ole brown spot !

I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin’.

Whew! I’m glad that they’re going to keep those evil guns out of our parks. After all, never, ever, has a weapon been in those parks - else we’d have seen senseless murders and mayhem. (liberal loon logic....)

This is a complete exposure of the true intent of the communist left in this nation. They must disarm the people, because it is the only way they can insure their edicts will go unchallenged.

Well the way I see it, cONGRESS could put a $1 a day “fee” on people that want to be armed in the park. The money would be used to promote ah....gun safety (wink wink) There would never be another thought by them on a ban since they have never met a tax payer dollar that they didn’t drool over.

Why does the Brady Bunch insist on disarming law abiding citizens? What good does it do to have a law like this when all it does is make criminals out of the good guys?

The Brady Campaign to Prevent that has done nothing but promote Gun Violence has sued the Interior Department to stop it from eliminating a 25-year-old federal rule restricting loaded guns in law abiding citizens in their attempt to lawfully protect themselves from harm in national parks.

Here are some statistics for conviction rates for Texas CHL license hnolders:

All in all, it demonstrates CHL holders are mostly well-behaved.

Looks like this is the new way to do things in America. If you don’t get your way, file a lawsuit.

I’d be all for hanging those that would attempt to undermine our constitution at this point. They are simple traitors, and should be treated as such. We will be facing enough problems this coming year without having to tolerate this crap

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to federal law you can carry
a firearm if you're a licensed fisherman going to, or coming from
where you plan to fish. It's the law I use to trump California's restrictions
on firearms. We also have a gold claim though, so that's a double trump.

Some years ago I made a trip to Fishlake National Forest in Utah on my motorcycle. I used to enjoy solo getaways. One afternoon while I was wandering around, a Ford Bronco approached and a Park Ranger got out. After exchanging some small talk, he asked if I was armed. I showed him my Ruger Super Blackhawk. He said that was good, because it's not safe out here after dark. I told him I had a room at the Fish Lake Lodge and thanked him for his concern. He repeated that he was happy to see that I came prepared.

Google Fishlake National Forest if you are looking for a great unknown vacation spot. If you like rustic splendor.

This might not be a bad thing. First most likely outcome; they spend a lot of money suing Uncle Sam and lose. Second possible outcome; they spend a lot of money suing Uncle Sam and lose and the requirement to have a CCW is found unConstitutional in the process.
