Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/27/09

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

Nicki has another good one entitled, 'More Second Amendment Ass-Kicking.'

Mike Vanderboegh solicits our thoughts on Obama being a combination of Communist, Socialist, Nazi, and Islamo-Fascist.

Western Rifle Shooters Association reminds us, with documentation, that Ted Kennedy offered to help the Soviet Communists once President Ronald Reagan embarked on a mission to destroy the 'evil empire.' This is part of the historical record and must be discussed as part of Kennedy's legacy, even as the talking heads extol his virtues.

JR provides us with his latest update on his weight-loss adventure, and it looks like he is doing magnificently.

Interesting! Mike McCarville reports that Americans for Limited Government is formally opposing Obama's appointee Cass Sunstein for 'Regulatory Czar.' Sunstein is one of the proponents of the notion that animals have a right to legal representation in the courts.

Alphecca notes that Democrats have begun turning on each other in the healthcare debate.

Standing By has a highly interesting read entitled, 'If Liquor Were Treated Like Guns.'

Walls of the City reports that the NRA called the BATFE's hand on one of its shenanigans, and effected a change for the better.
