Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/19/07

Many apologies for yesterday's absence of the Second Amendment News Roundup. I was out all day, and then last evening I had one of those family Christmas gatherings where I needed to show my face.

At any rate, focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Breda reports that Jeri Thompson gives the reason she loves Fred--he is his own man. Real men also like Fred for that reason. It's hard to support most politicians because in the final analysis they are pussies, placating the media, special interests, etc., to the point to where they appear emasculated. But not Fred:
