Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/10/08

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

Nicki at the Liberty Zone comments on the Blagojevich corruption scandal in Illinois.

Traction Control is presently in a place where it is only -17F. A warm day in these days of 'global warming.'

Pax Parabellum reports that Governor Blagojevich was a gun owner, although he is one of the most rabid anti-gun politicians in the country. But not anymore. He's been ordered to turn in his permit.

Mike McCarville reminds us that although the Blagojevich scandal reaches deep, there is no indication or evidence linking Barack Obama to it in any way.

From Michelle Malkin:
*The Obama camp has called for Blagojevich to resign
*5 Republicans are ready to filibuster the auto bailout
*The final details of the auto bailout bill, vote may be Sat.

Texas Fred has an excellent post on the bailout. Be sure to see the graphic.

Breda posts the audio from last night's edition of Gun Nuts Radio.

Xrlq provides excellent reading on 'guns, medicine, and selective mission creep.'

Gun Rights Examiner posts Codrea's column for today entitled, 'You Got to Protect Yourself.'

Western Rifle Shooters Association shares words of wisdom from the great Colonel Jeff Cooper.

Mindful Musings presents a sobering but essential read entitled, 'Are You Ready?'

JR says that the Houston Chronicle has taken aim at gun rights in Texas.

Roberta X provides an excellent read on government and lines in the sand. And I agree with her about government. If it's big enough to do everything for you, it's big enough to take everything you have away from you (my interpretation of her words).

Gateway Pundit reports that despite his denials, Obama met with Blagojevich on Nov. 5 to discuss his Senate seat.

Sebastian posts an interesting read entitled, 'Republican Revolutions.'
