Second Amendment News Roundup for 9/12/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Today along with a few of our regulars, we highlight some very good bloggers who unfortunately do not get much attention. Give them all a look.

Bear on a Bicycle reports some rather interesting news concerning the supposed 'scandal' involving Governor Palin's firing of a state trooper in Alaska. This is priceless!

Cap'n Bob and the Damsel blog on the NRA's new website dedicated to the truth about Barack Obama's anti-gun views. Folks, don't let this one get by you--Obama wants to ban handguns. Never has McCain come close to such extremist views, although he has enraged some of us at times concerning the 'assault weapons' thing.

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit has the MUST-read of the day on Sarah Palin's interview by Charles Gibson on ABC. From what we can tell, Palin passed the test, but Gibson was ill-prepared.

Traction Control has some video clips of the Palin interview.

Brigid at Home on the Range posts an interesting read on the EO Tech HWS Military Model 511.A65 scope, which is used by SWAT.

Mr. Completely provides information on sending firearms to and from the Gun Bloggers Rendezvous in Reno in October.

Xavier writes an interesting piece on the Clark Combat Commander 1911 pistol.

Monica Crowley has some good reading on the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Do yourselves a favor, and go read it.

Mark Steyn is back after a hiatus following his trial by the kangaroo court of the British Columbian 'human rights' Commission, during which he was charged with writing against Muslim extremists in Europe. As always, he has a good variety of reading to choose from.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry point to an article that shows how the courts are misusing the Heller decision.

Texas Fred comments on S.C. Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler's statement that Palin's only qualification is that she hasn't had an abortion. As a South Carolinian, all I can say is that she and her husband, Donald Fowler, are an embarrassment to this state and to the nation (at one time Mr. Fowler was the national Democratic Party Chair).

ARRA News Service suggests that Congressmen and Senators who oppose offshore oil drilling--most of them Democrats--may have a hard time getting re-elected in November.

Bloviating Zeppelin says that the Left is certifiably insane. I agree. Just wait till you see what a Canadian 'doctor' said about Palin's decision to go ahead and have a Downs baby rather than abort it!

Captain of a Crew of One reports a news story out of Arizona on two 19 year olds who were 'caught' with some 'assault weapons.'

Joe Huffman posts essential reading on guns and politics, including comments on Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, and Barack Gun-Ban-O-Bama.

ROFL!! xrlq comments on the latest tactic of Democrats, trying to claim that to refer to 'community organizers' is a racist comment since the term refers to a 'race.' LOL!! Holy Toledo, these people have lost their freakin' minds. And then there was the Tennessee Democrat who said that Jesus was a community organizer, just like Obama! Ohhhhh Lord, call the paramedics...I can't breath for the laughter.

David Codrea reports that the JBTs are up to no good again, and, of course, the AP and the MSM are right in their hip pockets.

Armed and Safe effectively blows to bits any contention on the part of Barack Gun-Ban-O-Bama that he is all for protecting the 2nd Amendment.

JR provides an excellent rundown of the various bloggers' comments on 9/11.

Nicki has a MUST-read from John Stossel and Dr. Walter Williams on basic economics and how the government cannot create wealth.
