This! I’m pretty much screwed if this shit gets real. I’ve been outspoken and vocal, and have not taken much effort to hide who I am. But it can’t make us afraid to speak. They don’t have the money or the resources to put all of us in prison. If you’ve bought a gun in the past 40 years, you’re in “the list.” Get over it. Get active.

Reaping What The Media Sows
The Journal News is to blame for this: “Officials say two burglars used a ladder to break into the home to try and steal legally-owned guns out of the homeowner’s safe.” The actions of the Journal News, and their gun control fellow travelers is not, and has never been about preventing gun violence. Their actions are about ostracizing and shaming gun owners, and if helping criminals put guns into the hands of other criminals is a cost society has to pay to deliver that shame, then so be it. I’m sure the assholes at the Journal News would be happy to explain how it’s our fault for owning guns in the first place.
Hat Tip to Reader Harold.
NRA History From the WaPo
Dave Hardy notes that this WaPo article is balanced, and factually largely correct. Dave has been in this fight since nearly the beginning, so he’s who I generally turn to for stories on things which happened before my time (which was most of it).
Compliance With Gun Restrictions
This is a few weeks old, but well worth reading. I had missed it over the holidays.
Gun Control in Connecticut
You get one shot. That’s it. Back to 1776 with you! They really are keeping up the nonsensical charade they aren’t out to take our guns. It’s really quite comical at this point.
CAP Recommendations On Guns
The Center for American Progress, basically the left’s equivalent of Heritage Foundation, is going to be submitting its own proposals for gun control, including:
CAP’s proposals — which include requiring universal background checks, banning military-grade assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and modernizing data systems to track gun sales and enforce existing laws — are all but certain to face stiff opposition from the National Rifle Association and its many allies in Congress.
What keeps killing me is a few months ago, they were thinking this issue was toxic to Democrats, and now it’s suddenly a winning cause. What changed isn’t the culture, it’s their coalition. It reminds me of something Jim Geraghty said the day after the election:
Ari Fleischer points out the silver lining is that so far, Romney is winning independents. That’s not a silver lining, that’s worse news: Democrats don’t really need independents anymore.
That’s exactly right, and I have a feeling I will be returning to that thought often over the next four years.
How to Handle Piers Morgan
I thought this young man did an admirable job of handling Morgan.
Even when they are actively proposing confiscation …
… they swear up and down they aren’t going to take our guns. I guess she didn’t get the memo that the plan is now to take our guns.
Congrats to Cam Edwards
The Sportsman Channel and NRA are launching a launching a live daily talk show. Cam is a great spokesperson, and I can think of few other people I’d rather have representing the Second Amendment to the public at large.
No Prosecution for David Gregory
Apparently the DC Attorney General is an old friend. They just lost any moral right to argue that a ban is urgently necessary with this move.
