UPDATE: PSH already coming in. People will carry guns on the White House lawn! Quick, hide the water dog!

Well, staffers do have the right to protect themselves from Rahm Emmanuel!

As I understand it all it’s going to cost us is a surcharge on our credit card bills to “bail out” the folks who default on theirs.

Once a month.

Forever.

Remember Obama taught Constitutional Law. The Supreme Court has decided that it is our Constitutional right to Keep and Bear Arms. Aside from trying to keep firearms out of the hands of nut jobs, felons and illegals bringing them to Mexico, I don’t think we will see any anti carry legislation during his term. AWB possibly, but hunting long arms and CCW handgun bans, not likely. I personally don’t feel a need to rock-n-roll on the range with an AK, but to each his own. I care more about protecting my family at home and while out an about with a legally concealed handgun.

The Brady Campaign was right, at least so far, Obama is signing “common sense gun control” laws like this one.

Rather then attacking the phrase, it should be co-opted to mean laws to protect gun rights.

This is certainly great news….well done NRA!

Let’s keep the pressure on….support your local gun clubs, encourage and/or take a new prospective shooter to the range and get vocal…

We can make a difference…

The handgun point system is actually just something ATF pulled out of their asses. It’s not a law or regulation anywhere. It’s how they’ve decided to implement the “sporting purposes” language in GCA 68. I think we need to get rid of that, but it’s going to be more controversial.

Coburn could add the “parkd carry is effective immediately” language to another amendment, and it would be great if that amendment were something along the lines of open carry legalization nationwide, or repeal of the point system that effectively became import restrictions on small handguns.

And this is the correct blog on which to hope for the latter…..

[...] As many have noted, this must really remind the Brady Bunch that their most influential days are behind them. When Obama was elected, we were treated to a shower of VPC and Brady Campaign press releases about how we’d finally be getting some of that “common sense gun control” (read: restrictions on freedom that don’t do much to actually prevent crime).

RE: the last paragraph of my last post …

I forgot to add that in my opinion, forcing congress to vote AGAIN on this same amendment simply to move the effective date forward seems petty … like kid’s play.

I truly hope that Coburn isn’t that stubborn. There are already plenty of folks bitter about a gun amendment attached to credit card legislation … why give them more ammo and more justification for bitterness with a petty move to correct a small mistake? I hope Coburn is smarter than that.
