Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/20/09

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



Say Uncle comments on the Obama Administration's change of policy on medical marijuana. I agree. My view is the same as that of my mentor, William F. Buckley, Jr., who, as a conservative, believed that the 'war on drugs' needed to end and legalization needed to ensue. Simple possession of 'forbidden substances' is not the government's business. It would free up lots of prison space to permanently house the real criminals. And no, I am not a reckless advocate of the abuse of street drugs. I simply believe in maximum personal, individual liberty, even if that means people have the freedom to hurt themselves.



Breda has the complete scoop on tonight's edition of Gun Nuts Radio. Listen in if you haven't already. It's always a good show.



Robb Allen reports the interesting news story of the 81-year-old who shot an intruder. Of course, he was just 'compensating for what he lacked below the belt,' you know....



The Wandering Minstrel reminds the Obamanoids that we are free because we are willing to fight for that freedom.



Tam provides a bit of fashion advice for those who engage in open carry.



Walls of the City opines on why he thinks a Constitutional Convention is a bad idea.



Texas Fred has a MUST-read today. The U.S. Army has concluded after an investigation that the Army troops in Alabama broke the law when they helped local law enforcement officials in a criminal man-hunt.



Conservative Libertarian Outpost says that the Feds have gone haywire. So what else is new?



Days of our Trailers reports that the Obama Administration is using the 'public health' issue as a backdoor means of enacting draconian gun control. This is a major alert!!



David Codrea issues two reports on the fact that the media is finally discovering Oath Keepers. This is essential reading here and here.



Kurt Hofmann asks THE central question of the hour concerning Oath Keepers and the notion that they are a 'threat': 'How is a vow to uphold the Constitution a "threat"?' It's a threat only to those within the present government who have absolutely no regard nor respect for the Constitution.



Western Rifle Shooters Association is reporting that Karl Denninger, the market watcher and economic guru, now says that the FDIC is totally bankrupt. As we have incessantly warned you, get out of the banks, invest in precious medals that you keep yourself, and deal in cash as much as possible.


OK, that's it for today, folks. More server problems. UGH! I had much more, but I am not being allowed. So sorry.
