Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/15/09

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

Open Carry gets us started today with a laughable story involving an anti-gun group that put up a billboard announcing a new website, only the announcement was made before the group actually owned the domain name for the site. A PRO-gun group got it, bought it, and used the site for gun rights advocacy. ROFL!! Read about it on their forum.

Kurt Hofmann posts an informative read entitled, 'Gun Criminals for Draconian Anti-Gun Laws.' Interesting that the criminals are the ones who are all for strict gun laws that disarm citizens. Wonder why?????!!!

Mike McCarville provides a timely update on one of our soldiers for whom a congressional delegation is seeking clemency in a botched court martial case.

Roberta X weighs in on the debate about open carry. She makes an entirely reasonable point.

David Codrea issues a report on a Senatorial candidate who really 'gets it' on the gun rights issue. This is growing increasingly important as time passes, given that the electorate seems to be in a mood to throw out ALL of the bums in Congress in 2010!

Texas Fred has the scoop on the story concerning Social Security and the 'cost-of-living' adjustment.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost says there's big news today concerning the assault on liberty resulting from the problem at the U.S.-Mexican border.

Bloviating Zeppelin wrote an excellent piece exposing the lies, slander, and libel inherent in the recent attacks on Rush Limbaugh. Funny thing is, Rush laughs all the way to the bank each time the Leftists attack him. His ratings do nothing but skyrocket. Maybe we should encourage them to keep up the attacks, the clueless loons.

Say Uncle points to a great deal on 9mm ammo. Take a look!

Tam alerts us to a fellow who is looking for 'that one very special gun.' See if you can help him.

Vanderboegh has a very special open letter to Eric Holder, Attorney-General of the United States.

Western Rifle Shooters Association provides more proof that we are actually on the verge of an economic collapse--state and local governments are under extreme stress resulting from the lack of funds.

Ride Fast and Shoot Straight supplies an interesting read on government bureaucracies--the ATF vs. the California DMV.

Brigid has 'Tracks.' Take a look.

Armed Citizen posts essential reading entitled, 'Know the Facts. Read the Bill.'

CarteachO has a special message to those of us who enjoy his informative posts on firearms, but who have been deprived of his blogging of late.

Sebastian comments on the distressing news that the Obama administration has resumed talks concerning a small arms treaty at the U.N. We need John Bolton back as our U.N. Ambassador. At least he was more than willing to tell the Marxist organization to go to hell.
