Second Amendment News Roundup for 2/16/09

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

David Codrea gets us started for this Monday morning with a variety of topics at his Gun Rights Examiner column. Included are--news on the NRA election, Len Savage, and firearms bills waiting to be considered.

Kurt Hofmann writes about the next gun that's likely to be targeted for a ban over at his column at St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

Rev. Kharma has good reading entitled, 'What is Freedom Worth to You?'

JR posts a link to a post and a video on "Trillion with a 'T''--and it's worth taking a look!

Days of our Trailers comments on the news story that hit over the weekend that Roland Burris, Blago's choice to replace Obama in the Senate, has apparently perjured himself. This is big news and could get out of hand quickly...I understand the GOP in Illinois is calling for Burris to step down.

Walls of the City has an absolute must-read. He thoroughly fisks the editors at Commercial Appeal over their rationalizations (excuses) for publishing the names of concealed-carry licensees. And then take a look at this one entitled, 'Another Attack on Privacy.' Do yourself a favor and read both...every word.

Pax Parabellum reports that Barack Obama wants the bust of the great Sir Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office. What a complete imbecile!

Say Uncle reports that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has made a statement to the Press that indicates she may not be sucked in by Little Chucky Schumer or the Bastard after all. I have been one of Gillibrand's biggest critics, and I am still skeptical. But what she said here is encouraging.

Free in Idaho poses a crucial challenge the Lefty type readers. This is essential reading!

Alphecca blogs on yet another gun control law that can't be enforced.

Roberta X points to one of the liberal 'authorized journalists' who suddenly got struck with a good dose of reality. In religious terms we would call it an epiphany. In simple terms we would simply say he got zapped sane.

21 Guns, Salute asks, 'what did YOU do today for freedom?' A great graphic also provided.

Sipsy Street Irregulars asserts that the failure to save Eastern Europe will result in a quick meltdown that will spread like wildfire.

Tam cites the buffoonery of the masters of government inefficiency lecturing the rest of society on how to be more efficient!

Nicki blogs on the Armed Females of America's 'Second Amendment March.' Take a look!

Robb Allen posts the quote of the day.

Breda has essential reading on book-banning. But wait till you see what is being banned and who is doing it! And she should know. She's a librarian!

Ride Fast and Shoot Straight has a most interesting post entitled, 'The Women of the IDF.'

Mindful Musings posts more on how the stimulus package will bring us closer to a Soviet America.

Western Rifle Shooters Association provides us with 'the quote of the month.'

From Conservative Libertarian Outpost: 'Zero Tolerance, Zero Common Sense.'

Live from the Upper Texas Gulf Coast provides an important update to the Geert Wilders free speech case in Europe, and it's spreading fallout, particularly in Britain.

Atlas has even more on the Geert Wilders case. Why should you care about this? Because it is a liberty issue--in 'mainstream' Europe! We simply can't let this happen!

Notoriously Conservative points to a WSJ article on Obama's fear-mongering.

The Rustmeister reports that the NRA has gotten involved with the protest against the Commercial Appeal's decision to publish the names of concealed carry licensees.

Texas Fred has an update on the National Right to Carry Reciprocity Bill.

The BoBo Files posts a great 'Carnival of Politics.' Lots of links!

Michelle Malkin says there is a taxpayer revolt brewing against Obama's pork-laden stimulus bill, along with protests planned in certain cities. Read it all.

Dr. John Lott has the latest news on the Norm Coleman-Al Franken court battle over the Senate seat in Minnesota.

Gateway Pundit reports the explosive information that the Obama team has already admitted on TV that the trillion dollar stimulus package won't work. Absolutely incredible. Are we living in la-la land???!!!

Sebastian provides excellent reading on the Brady Campaign's case against the federal government's allowing citizens who have state licenses to bring their guns into national parks.
