Second Amendment News Roundup for 9/10/09

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

Walls of the City has an excellent post today, including lots of neat gun photos, entitled, 'Kickin' It Old Skool.' Take a look.

Days of our Trailers provides an update on Illinois Mayors Against Guns.

Notoriously Conservative notes the 'outrage' the Obamanoids feel toward Joe Wilson today...the hypocrites.

Texas Fred highlights the price-tag for the ObamaCare snake oil plan.

Insight on Freedom posts excellent reading on the climate entitled, 'Leader of None.'

From Free in Idaho: 'No Change.'

Robb Allen provides an important update on Sarah Palin. A MUST-read!

Meeting on the Green considers the issue of how we get out of the mess we're in as a nation.

Codrea's War on Guns shows us that the ATF is in the news quite a bit concerning its corruption, and he lists his latest Examiner articles on the subject.

Tam posts 'your Thursday doom and gloom.'

Standing By reports the disturbing news that the Boy Scouts can no longer bring knives to their camping trips.

Way Up North has THE must-read quote of the day from Thomas Jefferson.

Sebastian comments on the divide between the 'prags' and the 'three percenters' and points to more commentary from Joe Huffman.

The Wandering Minstrel has a must-see pic of 'liars caught in the act.'

Pax Parabellum thoroughly debunks Obama's claim that he has 'saved the economy.'

Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/27/09

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

Say Uncle comments on the fact that liberals never waste the death of one of their own to push their extremist agenda. Poor, poor taste!

Texas Fred reports that Mexico's new drug law has U.S. officials worried.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost points to a news story that admits Chicago's violence is running rampant in spite of its gun ban.

From Days of our Trailers: 'The Zombie Constitution.'

Sebastian discusses why the 2010 midterm elections are so vitally important.

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. My view is that he can be all four because totalitarianism encompasses various political parties and ideologies, all of which adhere to the belief in complete, centralized government control of a society.

Robb Allen promotes a great idea that I hope takes off--'Take a Vet to Lunch.'

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.

Congratulations to Tam on her 4th anniversary at her blog, 'View from the Porch.'

Roberta X has a word or two about those who 'drone on about drones.' Take a look.

Pax Parabellum comments on the latest idea put forth by that unparalleled scumbag, Chris Matthews.

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.

David Codrea writes an eye-opener that in one county at least, swimming pools are more dangerous for kids than guns.

"David Olofson's Revenge"--Documents Related to ATF

It seems that David Olofson, the man targeted by the ATF for unjust and unusual punishment related to 'firearms violations,' can get at least some measure of revenge by 'this call for documents related to the ATF.'

Here is an excerpt from the article:

It happens that I was recently clued in to an excellent source on the ATF: the reports of the Congressional Research Service. These reports are available to every Congressman and Senator. Occasionally, the rest of us get to see them when they are leaked by one of the 635 elect or one of their staff.

Here is one from last year, leaked to the excellent website, WikiLeaks, which is an analysis of the ATF's budget and operations. There is another such annual report due now. It strikes me that this could be an excellent hobby for someone with connections to a congressional staffer -- download, print out, pdf file, post on the Internet and otherwise get these documents out into the public domain where they can be analyzed by experts in the Second Amendment community.

Click on the link above for other sources of inside information on the ATF.

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

Nicki comments on the fact that Red's Trading Post is close to a settlement with the BATFE. But, as many of you know by now, Ryan has taken down his blog. I can't help but wonder if this is part of the settlement with the jackbooted thugs:

http://tractioncontrol.well-regulatedmilitia.org/?p=1087

Mike McCarville tells us that the integrity-challenged Senator Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is claiming that because McCain comes from a family of military servicemen he is thus unfit to be President.

David Hardy informs us about Steve Halbrooks' new book, 'The Founders' Second Amendment':
http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2008/05/steve_halbrooks.php

In a free society, government agencies should have no 'secret offices' except as secondary locations in the event of a major emergency. But the BATFE is getting a new office in a secret location. Mmmmm, wonder why??? As David Codrea points out, there is a very obvious reason why, and it ain't good:
http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2008/05/secret-location-of-batfu-cave.html

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/4/08

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

Breda starts us off with a post entitled, 'When You Just Can't Run Away':
http://thebredafallacy.blogspot.com/2008/04/when-you-just-cant-run-away.html

Mike McCarville reports that Hillary is now saying 'there is no such thing as a pledged delegate':
http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/desperate-hillary-clinton-stuns-many-no.html

JR reports on his work as a newly chosen delegate to the Texas Republican Senatorial District 10, and much of it should be of great interest to gun owners:
http://akeyboardanda45.blogspot.com/2008/04/right-kind-of-change.html

Now that Barack Obama has openly admitted he is against licensed concealed carry of firearms, we know he is even worse on gun rights than Hillary. Alphecca comments on the latest admission from Obama:
http://www.alphecca.com/?p=703

FreedomSight has a good read on checks and balances in government:
http://freedomsight.net/?p=2404

The War on Guns reports that the quintessential hippie-Commie from the 60s, 'Hanoi Jane' Fonda, has endorsed Barack Obama for President....from one Commie to another, apparently:
http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-commie-for-obommie.html

First it was Montana, and now it is Wyoming. Increasingly the western states are flexing their muscle against the Feds, particularly when it comes to the BATFE (ATF). Uncle has this good news:
http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/04/04/states_rights-3/

68. That's the number of lies Barack Obama has told, according to critics. Dr. John Lott has a link to the list:

Second Amendment News Roundup for 3/1/08

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

I am a bit late getting on board with this (the death of Bill Buckley was a set-back), but Nicki has the story and two updates of the latest gestapo tactics of the AFT...the jackbooted thugs have struck again:
http://libertyzone.blogspot.com/2008/02/cavalry-arms-raided-by-atf-today.html

Nicki also has this from Congressional and Senate morons. The Democrats wish to battle rising oil prices by piling on more taxes! The federal government already takes more in taxes from a gallon of gas than the oil companies make in profits. But of course it is always corporate America that is greedy and evil, never government:
http://libertyzone.blogspot.com/2008/02/in-attempt-to-battle-rising-oil-prices.html

The War on Guns provides the updates to the latest ATF travesty, along with the background of the story. Just click on the links:

And while you're at it, read THIS from Breda! While most Muslims are harmless, the 7% minority want to kill us...that translates to 91 MILLION Islamic extremists who wish to wreak havoc:

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

I certainly empathize with Traction Control's feelings about Fred's 3rd-place finish in S.C. If the GOP goes on to choose a non-conservative as its nominee, I fear the Party will be totally lost. Many will stay home and contemplate the next move after having abandoned both Democrats and Republicans:

Breaking News--ATF Nomination Placed on Hold

Word was received late Wednesday afternoon that the confirmation of Michael Sullivan as the Director of the BATFE (or the ATF) has been placed on hold by Idaho's two Republican Senators.

According to Senate rules, any one Senator can block legislation or confirmation indefinitely, sometimes even for years.

Sullivan has been a controversial choice due to his actions as acting director of the ATF for the past year. Under Sullivan, the ATF has continued its harassment of our citizens, put a damper on law-abiding business owners, and engaged in gestapo tactics against those who believe in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership delineates these abuses under Sullivan in the following open letter to America, issued on Wednesday:
http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-n-z/zel-open-20071212.htm

In addition, Red's Trading Post, which has been closely following the events leading up to the nomination and confirmation of Sullivan, has the following late-breaking update on the situation as it develops in Idaho:
http://redstradingpost.blogspot.com/2007/12/breaking-news-idaho-senators-put-holds.html

And thus, my friends, it seems the citizens' voices have made and are making a difference. This is the time to contact your U.S. Senators to voice your opposition to Sullivan as head of the ATF.

Here is the original news story as posted by the Associated Press:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jNl6jyIzPcvmXCr9yM2WHsCixdFQD8TG6VI81

There is no doubt that the ATF, the jackbooted thug agency of the U.S. government, is a menace to liberty and American society. This is our chance to send a strong message to Sullivan, the ATF, and President George W. Bush who nominated this sorry excuse for a public servant.

And let's not forget that Sullivan is the darling of Senate Democrats from Little Chucky Schumer to Ted 'Senator Blowhard' Kennedy.

Now is the perfect time to let our illustrious Democrat-controlled Senate know that we don't want our government harassing law-abiding citizens and businesses. It's time to take a butcher knife to the ATF, gut it like a catfish, and then boot most of its sorry-assed components straight to hell. The money saved from this financial gutting will be welcomed relief to the taxpayers.
