If there's anything to be said for Chicago's handgun ban, it's that it demonstrates--for those of us who needed the demonstration--that mandated defenselessness does not "work," except to produce serfs for those who would rule, and prey for those who would be predators [More]That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

So what does this have to do with gun rights? Mark Kirk may be the most ant-gun Republican in Congress.

Actually, if you need another reason not to stay at a Marriott--it would be hard to find a better one than the fact that their policy of mandated defenselessness renders guests vulnerable to being brutally raped, for which Marriott then tries to blame the victim.

Calderón is clearly banking on Americans being unaware that correlation does not equal causation. In this case, a causal link is clearly implausible. For one thing, the dramatic spike in drug cartel violence started in 2006--two years after the expiration of the ban. From a chronological perspective, a much stronger correlation can be drawn between the massively escalating violence and Calderón's assumption of office in 2006, followed ten days later by his implementation of Mexico's version of the "War on Drugs."

So if I follow correctly, the concern is that terrorists will storm an airport, and, what . . . commandeer a plane? Seems a rather odd way to go about the business of terrorism. Apparently terrorists agree, because I've never heard of any trying such a thing, anywhere, ever. We are also supposed to believe, apparently, that the only reason they haven't done it yet is that carrying guns to the airport has so far been illegal (well, in Georgia and nine other states).

The gold-plated, diamond-encrusted guns show that they can--and cheerfully do--spend any amount of money on their guns. According to the first article linked to above, Secretary of State Clinton estimated last year that the Mexican drug cartels take in $25 billion a year--and many consider that to be a low-ball figure (and by a wide margin).That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please read (digg?) and tell a friend.
Does anyone seriously believe that any laws can be put in place, that can't be easily circumvented with that kind of money? Corruption in the Mexican government is so rampant that the police and military often confronte one another. The ranks of cartel gunmen are filled with deserters from the Mexican Army--even if none take their weapons with them, for the cartels to bribe the military officers and government officials who do control the weapons is a small matter.

Since we're not hearing such shouting, we can logically conclude that the number of lives that would be saved by such legislation would be right around zero (and that's without getting into the fact that making guns harder to keep and bear legally reduces the number of people who will have lifesaving firepower on hand when they need it).

When political dissent is labeled "sedition," and when reminding the American people and their elected officials that the Second Amendment exists as a bulwark against tyranny is branded as "terroristic," the state-worshipers who see The People as pawns of the state have entered into a cold war with those of us who will not surrender are freedom.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please read it (digg it?) and spread the word.
When they then use our vocal defense of our liberty as justification to disarm us, that cold war will go hot. Nobody wants that. [More]
There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.
A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."
These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

It is long past time that we, as gun rights activists, strike off the NRA-forged shackles of "enforce existing gun laws," and get to work on the task of repealing existing infringements upon that which shall not be infringed.

Frustrated by pro-gun gains made in many state legislatures, some high profile court cases, and plunging public support for forcible citizen disarmament (aka "gun control") measures, the gun haters increasingly appear to be exploring their options to bypass our legislative process, our courts, our Constitution, and the very will of the American people, to impose draconian restrictions on gun ownership via international means. Chicago Mayor Daley's intention to sue gun manufacturers in the World Court is the latest manifestation of the international gambit (see links below the photograph for more proposed international attacks on Americans' gun rights).

To the Brady Campaign, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Southern Poverty Law Center, etc., no action by a "democratically elected" government can be legitimately resisted with force. If, in other words, the people decided, via Constitutionally approved process, to repeal the 13th Amendment, and re-institute slavery, the newly enslaved would be morally obligated to accept their new status.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

Josh Horwitz, Dennis Henigan, and all else who claim that the "insurrectionist idea" is an NRA marketing ploy, are, to put it simply, lying. If there has been any recent (within the last few decades), radical reinterpretation of the Second Amendment, it has come in the form of "I support the Second Amendment--I'm a hunter!" as if 10% of the Bill of Rights was devoted to the protection of sport.

As originally written, HB 5751 would ban not only the sale and possession of the "scary" items mentioned above, but also their manufacture. Perhaps surprisingly, given the state's political climate, Illinois has several manufacturers of such items. In past years, in arguing against those bans, it has been pointed out that lawmakers who send good jobs and tax revenue out of the state are doing the state's economy no favors. That, apparently, is why the amendment would permit manufacture of "assault weapons," etc., but only for sale out of state.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner (better late than never). Please read it (digg it?) and spread the word.
What, though, is the underlying message that sends? If these "weapons of war" are the scourge on society that Rep. Acevedo clearly believes them to be, is it not rather unprincipled of him to allow them to be inflicted on other states, simply to protect the jobs and tax revenue? Or is it that Illinois residents are somehow lacking the restraint that prevents residents of other states from shooting up their communities with Illinois-manufactured "assault weapons"? [More]
