Blagojevic and Daley don't need guns to protect themselves and their families they have POLICE assigned to do that. Regular citizens are on their own.
Will you give up your armed thugs Bodyguards first???
Trying to imitate Mitt Romney?
Please consider taking these kids plinking at the first opportunity (assuming parental permission). I've taught many of my kid's friends how to shoot. Many develop a passion. Many are willing to defend that passion at the ballot box.
A lot of kids don't understand economics, are open-minded about gays, abortion, etc. Give them a passion for firearms and you'll create young Republicans (or at least Libertarians). One thing for sure, they will NOT vote for the gun-grabber party. This "single-issue" was enough for me personally 25 years ago and still counting.
As always, make sure safe handling is the priority.

Good advice.
I plan to take my grandson to the range this spring - if I can persuade his mother.
Blowjerkoffbitch was Brady's floor leader whan he was in the us Kongress.
That's just it. These sinister bastards don't want to eliminate the problem entirely. They will not be happy until every citizen comes crawling to them on their hands and knees relying on them for everything. Then they'll have us right where they want us. Self-reliance just doesn't fit into their agenda.
Do you use a button die for the rifling? If so, where do you get them?
Blago is an idiot. How many times is there going to be a vote on this?
It isn't a coincidence that Presser vs Illinois is one of the two landmark cases on violations of the Second Amendment, the other being U.S. vs. Miller, which relied on Presser as precedent.
Chicago union-busters were using Chicago cops to break up labor meetings and break heads. The state of Illinois concurrently moved to restrict firearms ownership by passing a law that restricted the Illinois Militia (Guard) to a roster of 8600 reliable souls -- and then relied on the Militia Clause to restrict RKBA to the 8600 political reliables.
Presser was arrested because he was a) a labor organizer and b) not a member of the 8600. He was convicted under Illinois law, and SCOTUS upheld the conviction (the RKBA equivalent of Plessey vs. Ferguson) on the theory that the States are the repositories of individual rights, not the federal Constitution, and that if Illinois said that only 8600 people have rights, that was OK with SCOTUS.
Methinks they took the blindfold off, personally.
That case stinks to high heaven and cries out for overturn -- as does Miller, which was argued by Franklin Roosevelt's Solicitor General against a brief sitting on an empty defense table, representing an absent lawyer, a dead defendant and an indigent and lawyerless co-defendant.
No wonder SCOTUS refuses to accept any new Second Amendment cases. The body of case law cries of moral and intellectual corruption.
Ah, didn't know that. Didn't know the other thing, either -- LOL!
Maybe a world war would help clean out these nests of America-haters. (OK, so spank me for thinking it.)
Your description of Miller is so vivid, it reads like a scene from a movie.
what kind of rifle is that? looks like a Vz52...
