Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/5/2010

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

Western Rifle Shooters Association points to an article that perfectly depicts why the 'pragmatists' are wrong and are largely responsible for the current mess we're in.  Collaboration and negotiation with Marxists who are intent on destroying individual freedoms WILL result in the loss of your gun rights eventually.  Remember when 'pragmatists' endorsed Kirsten Gillibrand in New York?  No sooner had she been elected than she was spouting the party line on guns and everything else along with 'Little Chucky' Schumer.  This stuff has gotten us NO WHERE in a hurry, and since the NRA endorses liberal Democrats, I am through with them as well.

Vanderboegh provides sobering reading entitled, 'Will America Break Up?'

David Codrea notes more evidence that gun control does nothing to curb violence and crime.

Kurt Hofmann has a primer concerning defensive handgun carry in Illinois.  Yes, we need to pay attention to what's going on in the various states.  In one way or another those laws impact ALL of us down the road.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost shows that just because one is a member of the NRA does NOT mean they actually support gun owners.  An example from Wyoming is a case in point.

Brigid has an excellent read entitled, 'Delicate Balances.'

MOWCA posts an informative read on 'The Founders vs. Alinksy.'

Pax Parabellum notes an important anniversary that directly impacts concealed carry in restaurants.

Tam says that Michael Bane has some thoughts on the gun culture and where it's headed.

Way Up North reports there is a controversy brewing about pipelines and bullets in Alaska.

Actually, the anniversary was the violent death of Ben Goeser in a local Nashville sports bar. His wife, Nikki, was at his side and NOT carrying her weapon, even though she is licensed to carry one, because Tennessee law forbade carry in places that sell alcohol by the drink.

The law was changed to allow permit holders to carry in these places - as long as they did not consume alcohol - later in 2009 only to be stricken down by a misguided local judge as "unconstitutionally vague" three months later.

Once again Tennessee citizens who have undergone training, background checks, and paid considerable to sums to obtain state issued licenses must disarm and become defenseless if they wish to eat in these establishments.

There are several measures once again on the table for the legislature this year to correct this abrogation of our rights to self defense. But the current situation is that there is a very strong possibility of another Ben Goeser being gunned down since no one is lawfully able to bear arms in places that serve alcohol by the drink in Tennessee. As we have seen, thugs pay no attention to laws - even no carry laws - so we are left defenseless against them in these restaurants.

Because we are law abiding.
