Today I launched my gun blog. I’m obviously coming from a much, much different place than your Snowflakesinhell blog. (Which was the first gun blog I had subscribed too btw.) My blog comes from the standpoint of a learning diary of someone new to firearms.

I figure a lot of people have probably forgotten more than I’ll ever know about firearms. And this blog, is to kind of make a record of someone’s progression in firearms. So that other noobs like me can benefit from my learning.

I put out right up front that I am no expert, rather the exact opposite. But I figure I’m a learner, and other interested newbies might be asking the same questions I am. And with people like Obama looking to take our rights away if they get the votes. I think Joe-average shooter can no longer allow him or herself to stay on the sidelines. We need to be more vocal, support ourselves, and more of all educate each other.

Remember that just eight years ago, presidential candidates were running on national licensing and registration, and renewing the assault weapons ban!

Eight years ago?! They’re running on the same crap today.

The Democratic Party Platform can be viewed here:

From page 50, under “Firearms”:

We can work together to enact and enforce commonsense laws and improvements — like closing the gun show loophole, improving our background check system, and reinstating the assault weapons ban, so that guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists or criminals.

Why? Look at the guy’s position before he wanted to be president. Ban on handguns. Ban gun shops with 5 miles of a park or school (which is to say almost all of them). Ban assault weapons. Licensing, registration.

Now he says he won’t take our guns. Not very reassuring in light that he’s never advocated going door to door, but nonetheless has advocated ending legal gun ownership in this country.

Try it.

He has been very clear in his position for permanently reenacting the assault weapons ban as well as his position against concealed weapons permits. I disagree that it’s “silly” to worry about these things.

Then he says he couldn’t ‘even if he wanted to.

That isn’t an admission of wanting to if he could, its a secondary clause to make it even more clear to you guys that it ain’t going to happen. I’ve been very suprised at the amount of silliness and panic on the pro-gun side about his position.

How much clearer does he have to be? Maybe you guys will stop telling everyone he will.

As to Barack, you don’t have to like him or vote for him. You can be all excited about McCain and Palin and vote for them instead. But lets be honest about the position each candidate takes. And if they change it, lets be honest about that too.

Sure, but you are going to try to take the gun on my hip aren’t you Barry?
