Gun owners shine a spotlight on hypocritical attacks on their rights
Gun grabbers have been exploiting the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., to pursue their long-standing agenda of disarming America. Law-abiding and responsible gun owners are fighting back against the onslaught.
NBC anchor David Gregory acted on Sunday as if D.C. firearms laws didnt apply to him. He brandished a 30-round rifle magazine on Meet the Press during an interview with National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.

Lanier, the request was denied. Mr. Gregory went ahead anyway.
So far, Chief Laniers office will only say it has launched an investigation into the matter. Several law enforcement sources say that if anyone other than a network news anchor had done this, a warrant already would have been drafted for the perpetrators arrest for a crime that carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and one year in jail.
This is the problem when you have anti-law-enforcement liberals running the city, said Kristopher Baumann, head of the D.C. police union. The laws they create are for the little people, and they dont ever expect those laws to apply to them.
Thousands of Americans have grown so tired of the hypocrisy that theyve started a petition on the White House website seeking the deportation of Piers Morgan, the British host of CNNs Piers Morgan Tonight who...

Speaking of Piers Morgan. I got this from the Tea Party facebook link. http://www.reagancoalition.com/articles/2012/20121228005-ted-nugent-piers.html

Bumpity bang bang!
"A blanket ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines?"
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.

“A new study shows” “Some say”: the MSM
Bam-bam has some `tells’ as well: “You know what?” “Let me be clear” and “Make no mistake about it” are all prefatory to
“Hold on tight to your wallets, guns and civil liberties”.
Larry Alan Burns is a federal district judge in San Diego."
He should just move to the gun-free zone of Washington, DC.
One law for liberal elites - one law for the rest of us. Thuggishly charming in a third world kind of way...
NOW we understand why liberal elites hate the Constitution - it's a piece of paper that offers equality... eff NBC and all creeps who work there.
Now we know...

FReeEEeePED:
Yes, this one needs to be hit hard by FReepers.
This is the LA Times, folks — one of THE most lefty papers in existence.
A blanket ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines?
Yes: 42%
No: 58%
NO 58%
"Rules"? My understanding is that it is the law in D.C. and the Metropolitan Police Department has no authority to begin with to tell someone they may break the law. Good for them for telling him not to, now prosecute the law breaking bastard.
We have a phony constitutional right to get free abortions on demand. So, why can't I walk in to a gun store and get a free gun under the right to bear arms? Wouldn't that be an "equal protection" argument under the penumbra of the distorted SCOTUS?
