Second Amendment News Roundup for 9/12/08

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

Today along with a few of our regulars, we highlight some very good bloggers who unfortunately do not get much attention. Give them all a look.

Bear on a Bicycle reports some rather interesting news concerning the supposed 'scandal' involving Governor Palin's firing of a state trooper in Alaska. This is priceless!

Cap'n Bob and the Damsel blog on the NRA's new website dedicated to the truth about Barack Obama's anti-gun views. Folks, don't let this one get by you--Obama wants to ban handguns. Never has McCain come close to such extremist views, although he has enraged some of us at times concerning the 'assault weapons' thing.

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit has the MUST-read of the day on Sarah Palin's interview by Charles Gibson on ABC. From what we can tell, Palin passed the test, but Gibson was ill-prepared.

Traction Control has some video clips of the Palin interview.

Brigid at Home on the Range posts an interesting read on the EO Tech HWS Military Model 511.A65 scope, which is used by SWAT.

Mr. Completely provides information on sending firearms to and from the Gun Bloggers Rendezvous in Reno in October.

Xavier writes an interesting piece on the Clark Combat Commander 1911 pistol.

Monica Crowley has some good reading on the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Do yourselves a favor, and go read it.

Mark Steyn is back after a hiatus following his trial by the kangaroo court of the British Columbian 'human rights' Commission, during which he was charged with writing against Muslim extremists in Europe. As always, he has a good variety of reading to choose from.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry point to an article that shows how the courts are misusing the Heller decision.

Texas Fred comments on S.C. Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler's statement that Palin's only qualification is that she hasn't had an abortion. As a South Carolinian, all I can say is that she and her husband, Donald Fowler, are an embarrassment to this state and to the nation (at one time Mr. Fowler was the national Democratic Party Chair).

ARRA News Service suggests that Congressmen and Senators who oppose offshore oil drilling--most of them Democrats--may have a hard time getting re-elected in November.

Bloviating Zeppelin says that the Left is certifiably insane. I agree. Just wait till you see what a Canadian 'doctor' said about Palin's decision to go ahead and have a Downs baby rather than abort it!

Captain of a Crew of One reports a news story out of Arizona on two 19 year olds who were 'caught' with some 'assault weapons.'

Joe Huffman posts essential reading on guns and politics, including comments on Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, and Barack Gun-Ban-O-Bama.

ROFL!! xrlq comments on the latest tactic of Democrats, trying to claim that to refer to 'community organizers' is a racist comment since the term refers to a 'race.' LOL!! Holy Toledo, these people have lost their freakin' minds. And then there was the Tennessee Democrat who said that Jesus was a community organizer, just like Obama! Ohhhhh Lord, call the paramedics...I can't breath for the laughter.

David Codrea reports that the JBTs are up to no good again, and, of course, the AP and the MSM are right in their hip pockets.

Armed and Safe effectively blows to bits any contention on the part of Barack Gun-Ban-O-Bama that he is all for protecting the 2nd Amendment.

JR provides an excellent rundown of the various bloggers' comments on 9/11.

Nicki has a MUST-read from John Stossel and Dr. Walter Williams on basic economics and how the government cannot create wealth.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/29/08

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

From Codrea's War on Guns:
*'Palin'--David comments on McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, and I agree it is a great political choice. In addition, gun rights folk will love her.
*'Meanwhile, Back in Bloomberg Paradise'--'the Bastard's' Gotham City has an AIDS rate that is 3 times the national rate.
*'About Last Night'--it's official--the Democrats will enact more gun control if they get elected, particularly 'assault weapons' bans.

JR believes that McCain's choice of Sarah Palin is good news. I agree.

Sebastian also weighs in on the choice of Palin.

The Countertop Chronicles delineates the various reasons why Palin is an excellent choice for McCain, not the least of which is her appeal to female voters who are not extremist Leftists!

National Review, the venerable conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley, Jr. in the late 1950s, has a glowing report concerning Palin from a conservative perspective. In short, conservatives, including the religious right, are going to love Sarah Palin.

ROFL! Just wait till you see the Greek god-o-bama coming out of his Temple over at Michelle Malkin's place. And then note what Obama and his glazed-over, automaton worshippers said about Sarah Palin.

John Lott reports that the various polls show that Obama-Biden got a VERY small bounce from Barack's speech last night. McCain predicted a 15-point bounce. They actually got about 4 points...very small for an after-the-convention bounce. And it's no wonder. The liberal extremists are having a terribly hard time connecting with mainstream America.

Nicki has the MUST-read of the day. She rips to shreds Obama's speech last night as only she can. And if this is the short version (her first draft got eaten by the goblins of the Internet/computer world), I would have LOVED to have read that first version!

From Mike McCarville:
*'Palin Charges into the National Spotlight' --this gal is dynamite!
*'Palin is Right on the Second Amendment'--she and her husband both are avid hunters and gun-rights activists.
*'Palin--GOP Maverick and Reformer'--this lady backs down for NOBODY and is a true go-getter! She attacks and routs out corruption in government, even if it effects the old guard in the GOP...yet she is a true Reagan conservative--guns, God, pro-life, low taxes, limited government.
*'The Gadfly Eats his Words'--Mike gives a personal word on McCain and his ability to make sensible, solid choices--not exactly the same impression Mike had before.

Gateway Pundit reports that ex-President Jimmy Carter, failure extraordinaire and one of Barack Obama's mentors, is saying that John McCain is 'milking' his POW experience in Viet Nam. No, he hasn't. Actually he has said little about it except for the one Viet Cong soldier who respected McCain because he was a Christian. Funny how in spite of the fact that Carter is a Christian, I have ZERO respect for him!

Breda has an affinity for a chic with a gun. And that means...well, read it and see!

Uncle comments on the experience issue, comparing Obama with Palin.

An Ol' Broad's Ramblings has the cartoon of the day. Looks like somebody's been neutered! LOL!

Walls of the City has the quote of the day that I'm certain you will like.
