Utterly disheartening. So, you think there is no slippery slope in closing the so-called 'mental illness' loophole pertaining to gun rights? Well, now it seems doctors are going to be required to report to the government anyone who has ever even exhibited symptoms of suicide (meaning severe depression), violent behavior, or 'threatening behavior,' whatever the hell that is. This is in addition to those who have been 'institutionalized!' So, now we have gone from those who have been in mental hospitals to those who merely exhibit the symptoms. Read it all here:

Traction Control reports that someone let the cat out of the bag on the hoax of global warming. Actually, they knew global cooling was coming, and they wanted to restrict economic activity (of the free market nature) before the cooling got here (thus proving what I have always maintained...the movement is political and not scientific):

Second Amendment News Roundup for 2/15/08

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

In this post (read it all the way to the end), Sebastian explains why opposing the microstamping bill in Congress is so crucial to firearms rights. The NRA is behind blocking this Ted Kennedy legislation as well:
http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/?p=2680

Gun Law News has more on the federal microstamping bill in Congress:
http://www.gunlawnews.org/News/s2605020808-2.html

Here we go again. Gunman kills 5 on a college campus in Illinois. The Brady Gang and Carolyn McCarthy couldn't BUY better publicity and public relations than this. But remember, the killings occurred in yet another GUN FREE ZONE:

The secret is now out. The Feds have released the sealed information. Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids. His homerun record should be revoked, he should be permanently banned from baseball, and he should never be allowed in the Hall of Fame to share the spotlight with gentlemen such as Hank Aaron, Cal Ripkin, and Lou Gehrig:

http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/08/theyrecomingafteryou.htm

Federal Microstamping is Upon Us

The wolves are knocking at the door once again as a bill has been introduced in Congress to mandate nationwide microstamping. Senator Ted Kennedy, one of the most ardent gun-grabbers in Congress, is a co-sponsor of the bill.

It wasn't long ago that gun rights activists were up in arms concerning such a bill that was passed by the California legislature. Howls are protests were heard from every sector of the country, and countless bloggers urged us to contract Governor Arnold Schwartzenneger to encourage him to veto the legislation.

None of it worked, and microstamping become law in California.

And now the U.S. Congress seems to be bent on passing a similar bill that will apply to the entire country in the name of 'catching criminals who use firearms.'

Most of us know in our heart of hearts, however, that this is just another attempt at infringing on a right that the Constitution says 'shall not be infringed,' not to mention yet another burden that is forced on gun owners, gun dealers, and gun manufacturers.

And we all know where this is coming from--the Brady Gang and the Left, represented by the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Rangel, McCarthy, and Dingel.

Each and every time we 'compromise' with this gang of thugs, we only get our butts kicked more violently. There is no compromise with them. Compromise only means that they are given impetus to come back with more anti-freedom and restrictive legislation that flies in the face of every liberty protected by the Constitution.

I may be a lone voice about this issue, for I haven't seen one single gun-rights blogger sound the alarm about this bill. But I am going to scream bloody murder about it until somebody pays attention.

This is a dangerous piece of tyranny that is being foisted on the public by the U.S. Congress, and it is time for us to contact our Senators and Representatives in the Congress to protest this bill.

And the time to act is NOW!

LIBERTY ALERT! MICROSTAMPING IN U.S. CONGRESS!

For those who may not yet be convinced of the 'slippery slope' theory of the gradual removal of rights, here is something for you to put in your pipe and smoke. A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Congress, co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy, to make the California gun microstamping law effective in ALL FIFTY STATES.

My friends, this is what we are facing on a much broader scale in November of 2008, particularly if Obama or Hillary get elected along with a Democratic Congress.

If these purveyors of tyranny and anti-freedom have the gall to do this now, just wait until November.
