Interesting Commentary on the Defeat of Thune Amendment


One of the more comical arguments made by some Democrat Senators -- Chuck Schumer (NY), Frank Lautenberg (NJ) and Dianne Feinstein (CA) -- is that this provision would compromise "states rights."

Of course, these Senators have shown they care little about "states rights," as evidenced by federal gun control laws that bear their names: the ban on semi-automatic firearms (the so-called Feinstein assault weapons ban) and the lifetime gun ban on people who engage in pushing-and-shoving incidents in the home (the Lautenberg misdemeanor gun ban).

And where was their adherence to states rights when they voted for the Brady bill, the Gun Free School Zones Ban and the Veterans Disarmament Act?

Read more from a special alert sent by Gun Owners of America concerning the defeat of the amendment that would have allowed national reciprocity on concealed carry of handguns.

A Gun in My Pocket

In this day and age I would no more think of venturing out of the house without my gun than I would without my drivers license. It simply goes with the territory.

Most people would have absolutely no idea that in my pocket is a firearm that can inflict deadly harm.

I certainly don't look the part. I am professional, well-dressed and groomed, unassuming, and well-mannered. I am just going about my business in a normal fashion...at the supermarket, the bank, the drug store, and even at church.

But if I am threatened with harm to my person, or if my fellow innocent citizens are thusly threatened, I am fully prepared to respond with as much force as necessary to stop the threat, up to and including using deadly force.

My experience is not really unusual in America. People who carry firearms normally do so unnoticed. They are your neighborhood grocer, your business owner, your insurance agent, your waitress, your doctor, or maybe even your minister. They are normal people who go about their business day by day, never making a big deal over the fact that they are prepared to take action in a threatening situation.

We are not itching for a gun fight or a confrontation with a thug. We will probably take evasive action 9 times out of 10 before we even think about using a firearm.

But if forced to do so out of necessity, we are prepared to take out a perpetrator, a thug, a thief, a rapist, a wife-beater, or anyone else who poses a clear, unmistakable danger to us and to those around us.

And, people within government need to be aware that there are millions of us all across the country. That is a word to the wise among those in government who have designs on robbing the citizens of their right to self-defense. You are going to have to kill millions of us before you get our guns.

Are you prepared for that kind of blood running in the streets?

I am aware that there are many good, decent people working in government who agree with us concerning our basic, fundamental rights. But I also happen to know that within the present government there are malevolent forces that would remove those rights in a heartbeat if they had the power.

To those of you who fall in that group, be assured that we among the armed citizenry stand with the Founders of this nation who believed that firearms gave average citizens the ultimate leverage against tyrannical government. If you are intent on targeting our liberties, you will be met with armed resistance.

Frankly, I hope I never have to fire that gun in my pocket at a human being. In all the years I have been a gunowner, I have been blessed in that regard. I hope that I will never be forced to use that weapon against anyone.

But if I am ever forced to use my weapon against another person, there are 2 things of which you can rest assured: I will not start such a fight, but I will most assuredly finish it.

'Walls of the City' Needs Some Input

One of our fellow gun bloggers, Walls of the City, needs some input as to suitable guns for concealed carry. He has a new spreadsheet posted with the possible choices. It would be helpful for him to know what most who hold concealed carry permits actually carry.

So, go over there and give him some help by clicking HERE.

Johnson summarily takes apart over at The Volokh Conspiracy:

South Carolina Gets One Right on Concealed Carry

The South Carolina legislature passed a bill that keeps private the names of citizens in the state who hold concealed handgun licenses. This is of vital importance given that in other states, liberal journalists and newspapers have had a field-day with publishing the names.

We retaliated right here on The Liberty Sphere by publishing the names, addresses, and phone numbers of columnists, editors, and reporters who were responsible for such a blatantly irresponsible handling of such information--information that put some persons, particularly women who are victims of abusive spouses, at great risk.

The state of South Carolina, I am happy to say, decided to nip in the bud any such trend by making it illegal for a news organization to publish the names of persons who are licensed, legal carriers of concealed firearms.

We congratulate the state legislature for doing the right thing.
