Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/12/09

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

Glenn Reynolds reports that the Holder nomination may well capsize. But beware. This happened in the Clinton Administration--2 nominees were shot down, and we wound up with the trainwreck, none other than Janet Reno...

Armed and Safe comments on NRA director Bob Barr (former Libertarian candidate for President) and his endorsement of Eric Holder.

Codrea's War on Guns has 'a free market solution.' Interesting that the anti-gun bigots don't have a clue as to the consequences of desperation.

Gun Rights Examiner posts Codrea's article on 'Barack Obama coins.' This Obama-mania stuff is getting ridiculous.

Ha! Sipsy Street Irregulars needles the ATF over their being caught totally unprepared for the onslaught of gun purchases in the run-up to Obama's inauguration.

Western Rifle Shooters Association says the Bradys have a set of proposals they are sending to Barack Obama. You can bet your bottom dollar he will listen.

Paul Davis at Reproach of Men sends in this infuriating report from Germany on the manner in which German police handled a Muslim demonstration. Just another example of anti-Jew bias on the part of a government.

21 Guns, Salute has some good news about a community that is openly pro-gun.

2A Musing posts a picture from South Carolina that perfectly depicts the failure of our 'gub'ment' schools.

I have stated several times before that I have an affinity for .38 police and military specials, either by Smith & Wesson or Taurus. Well, Brigid at Home on the Range provides excellent reading on this handgun and the ammo that works best with it. This is in-depth stuff...highly recommended!

Days of Our Trailers points to some dirty rotten scoundrels who pose as gunbloggers but who are obviously cheaters of the baser sort. lol

The Rustmeister says there's no joy in the Alehouse today. I can empathize. Although I'm not a big NFL fan, I am very much into college football, and I hate the Florida Gators...ugh! ALL of my teams lost in the end this year.

Walls of the City sizes up a few boomers he found at the gun stores over the weekend.

Texas Fred comments on a report about Israeli bombs dropped on Gaza. And he offers an alternative.

It's good to see J.D. Longstreet at Insight on Freedom writing again after a bout with pneumonia. In this post, he writes about Israel's right to self-defense.

Traction Control has all the info on a brand new webring for gunbloggers. Take a look!

Sebastian posts an analysis today on the upcoming Holder hearings in the Senate. Also, the NRA sent a letter to the committee chair about Holder.

Say Uncle points to a glaring omission in news reports on home safety.

Nicki has a MUST-read on Obama's call for everyone to 'sacrifice,' and then follows up with yet another MUST-read on the consequences of nationalized healthcare (they get to tell you how to live and what to do).

Breda shares a great photo of a shell-casing pendant that none other than Bear on a Bicycle made for her.

Mindful Musings gives us a reminder on the Grid-Down Medical course coming up in Feb.
