You need a subscription. The gun grabbers had more text than Roll Call. Scanning Media Brady in the News is good for a few laughs.
This is exactly what we need. I love Coburn.
The progressive populists know the one thing that stands in the way of their totalitarian utopia is the private ownership of firearms.
Coburn is using this platform to retaliate against progressive DemoRats (ProgRats).
Not more gun control laws, the constitution clearly states that any free man is allowed to bear arms! I always wanted to own an assault riffle, not one of those civilian versions either. I want fire power!
better yet, imagine a God Given Right being honored wherever a citizen is standing...
or better still, imagine not needing a 'liscense' to physically BEAR ARMS or drive a car...

There is a combination of things that stand in the way, and they plan to address both - an armed population of 300 million.
Look at all the "crises" and most of their solutions involve direct or indirect population control. The latest thing has been this "food safety" bill which could be used to limit your ability to grow your own food.
RKBA bump.
Go Senator Coburn!
bump.
"Rejecting this idea, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) will attach a set of gun rights amendments to must-pass appropriations bills to make expose Democrats who oppose such measures appear for being out of step with the public...."
There - all better now.
I love it. First up, national recriprocity for concealed carry licenses. One of the articles in there asked imagine if you were denied a drivers license in Pa but got one in Florida and it had to be honored in Pa. I have one for you, imagine getting a drivers license in Pa and it is not honored in Ohio? That is exactly what is happening with conceal carry licenses. My Pa conceal carry license is not honored in Ohio.
Here in town I have as a friend a retired AF LtCol. who went back to his old home state of OK to assist Coburn with his campaign back in 2004; says it's one of the most productive things he ever did.
This is highly ironic- The Texas State Rifle Association published a few months ago an article describing the ease and convenience of QUALIFIED (inside their respective states) residents of states outside of PA in getting a PA CHL license which is reciprocal here in TX (or other states). The reason that they published this was that at the time, TX was way behind on renewals.
If he puts in a repeal of the 1986 Hughes Amendment which was passed ILLEGALlY, I’ll be thrilled!
The 2nd amendment does just fine. We don’t need more government laws.
The Bill o’ Rights is not subject to States Rights. It’s easy to see this in the First Amendment. In the Second, not so.
Why does the Second Amendment raise so many emotional conflicts in certain people?
The 2nd amendment does just fine. We don’t need more government laws.
Tyrant weather report:
Tyrants and their enablers will experience occasional showers of hot brass, brief but intense hails of lead followed by widely scattered explosions.
They have been watching too many Disney movies, or maybe too many old Tarzan movies.

Not gun control. They're gun amendments.
You might want to glance over the article before reacting to the headline.
