SEND IN THE CLOWNS!

THIS joke simply isn't very funny:

'Send in the Clowns: Obama Administration a Joke'

It would seem the joke is on us, the American people.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/18/08

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

David Codrea at War on Guns reports that Len Savage has issued the JBTs an ultimatum concerning the return of his seized property. Read it all.

Armed and Safe says that D.C.'s first day of handgun registration yesterday didn't exactly go so well. ROFL!!

John Lott has an important item on the morons who run D.C. Since when did a semi-automatic handgun become a machine gun? ROFL!!

A Keyboard and a .45 has news about 'Cheaper Than Dirt's' new free online classified ads for firearms.

FreedomSight points to a ruling by my favorite entity in all the world--the 'World Court' of the European Union--which has 'ordered' Texas to halt executions. (Read my snide attempt at humor here, folks...this is to keep from coming unhinged).

Nicki at The Liberty Zone provides her usual riveting commentary, this time on Dick Heller's ill-fated attempt to register his gun in D.C. yesterday.

Squeaky announces that the podcast she hosts along with Ahab now has a new blog and merchandise store. Just click on the Squeaky-link for the details!

Google and the Brady Bunch both can go to hell. Say Uncle says that when you do a Google-search for the term 'carry permit holders,' the first entry that comes up is the Brady Bunch.

Snow Flakes in Hell reports that D.C.'s Eleanor Holmes Norton is encouraging residents NOT to exercise their natural, inherent right to self-defense with a handgun.

The Bitch Girls have launched a campaign to get Pennsylvania residents to volunteer for strong, pro-gun candidates before the November election. Good!

Robb Allen at Sharp as a Marble has the funny of the day. Take a look at how the 'gangstas' in D.C. are getting around the 'bottom-loading' ban.

Tam has essential reading on the quintessential abject failure--Commissar Nancy Pelosi--and her statement on Bush's 'failure.'

Traction Control turns up the heat on Barack Obama for his statement last week that America needs a Soviet or Nazi-styled 'citizen army' that would rival the U.S. military. No doubt about it, Obama is America's Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin rolled into one.

The Denver Post has a MUST-read editorial today on 'drill here, drill now'--something that is sure to have Democrats shittin' in their pants (h/t to Michelle Malkin).

The Rustmeister provides good reading today on the practice of using children to advance a political agenda. Read it all.

Texas Fred has an interesting read on the Springfield XD-45 Tactical handgun.

From Rezkorama, Advance Indiana reports that one of the scandal-ridden Obama influence-peddlers is cashing in early.

Breitbart News Service provides a report on how falling crude oil prices is driving a surge in the stock market.

And now for news from the world of the bizarre. A Mexican sex-slave operation in Asheville, North Carolina has been busted, according to WSPA News Channel 7.

SCOTUS Gun Redux: Back to the Fight

We won, and victory is sweet. Despite significant differences of opinion between the majority and minority on the Court, all 9 Justices affirmed that the Second Amendment refers, at least to some degree, to an individual right.

Precedence has been set for recognizing that self-defense through the use of firearms is a basic human right, and that is a victory worth celebrating.

But now it is time to get back to the fight.

As wonderful as Justice Antonin Scalia's words were in upholding the notion of an individual right within the Second Amendment, this Court is notorious for recognizing a right without making provision for protecting that right.

No greater example of this can be found than the Court's recognition that individual, private property rights are guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. But the Court has failed on several different occasions to extend legal protections to those citizens who have suffered through blatant violations of their property rights.

Ilya Somin's excellent post at The Volokh Conspiracy provides a sobering warning to those who think that today's Court ruling on gun rights will insure the legal protection of gun owners who must fight for their right to bear arms in the courts.

And make no mistake about it, the forces of anti-freedom will come out of the woodwork to fight harder than ever to restrict Second Amendment rights in any way they can. The Brady Campaign, for example, is already using the Court's decision to rally the troops to raise more money to fight gun rights.

In addition, we can look for a growing movement to repeal the Second Amendment altogether.

As JR points out, before the ink was dry on the Supreme Court's decision the Chicago Tribune was already calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment on its editorial page.

Further, we all know that had Al Gore or John Kerry won in 2000 and 2004, the Court's decision today would have been much different. We are only one vote away from losing a guaranteed right, and neither Roberts nor Alito would have been there to join with the majority.

A Barack Obama Presidency will guarantee a total shift in the makeup of the Court, and despite his flip-flop statement yesterday claiming he supports the Second Amendment, we can rest assured that his appointees to the Court will be in the mold of Ginsberg, Souter, Breyer, and Stevens.

This shameful gang of 4 all dissented from the majority opinion that D.C.'s gun ban must be struck down.

It is for this reason, perhaps, that Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership delayed issuing a response to Thursday's decision on Heller. That response is now on the website of the JPFO. The statement is a realistic assessment of the issues we face.

And thus, let us not be lulled into a false sense of security. We have won a major battle, but the war still rages.

And once again, it is time to fight.

House Democrats Call for Socialism

House Democrats on Wednesday showed their true colors by calling for 'the nationalization of the oil industry.'

The classic definition of 'socialism' is 'a system where the government owns the means of production.'

Thus, when Adolf Hitler nationalized certain industry within the Third Reich, he was implementing socialism within Nazi totalitarianism. When Lenin and Stalin forbade private ownership of property, business, and industry, they were implementing socialism within Communist totalitarianism.

Socialism as an economic system will forever be associated with totalitarian regimes of one sort or another. We know for sure that its proponents are anti-freedom, anti-capitalism, and anti-free markets.

And if the truth were known, they probably don't want you to own private property or engage in any form of free enterprise either.

On the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, one by one the Democrats called for the nationalization of the oil industry so that 'we can better control the flow of the oil supply.'

Balderdash. The reason they want to own the oil industry is because they don't believe in private enterprise, and the current skyrocketing gasoline prices give them a convenient excuse to seize what is not theirs.

The oil companies and oil refineries do not belong to the government but to the stockholders who invest in them. For government to take private enterprise is stealing, and anyone who attempts to do such a thing should be arrested on the spot, charged with the crime, and taken immediately to jail pending trial.

Read the following sickening and disgusting account of the statements on the floor of our illustrious U.S. House of Representatives, lead by the chief Commie herself, Nancy Pelosi, and her Democrat foot-soldiers in the American version of the Bolshevik Revolution:

http://www.nrahab.com/2008/06/12/cybernauts-ho/

Alphecca reports that SC Governor Mark Sanford VETOED the legislature's bill to withdraw taxes on firearms during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Sanford is basically a good guy and a good Governor, but I have issues with him, such as this one:

http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/5657

Can you say 'goo-goo-gaa-gaa-ma-ma-da-da-o-bama'? Sheesh. This is so typical of the Leftist mainstream media. Michelle Malkin has the story of how the media's collective tongue is hanging out over the Obamessiah:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/09/breaking-news-video-journalists-ogle-obama/

Malkin also reports that Bush has slipped into a war spending bill a billion-dollar initiative to help MEXICO close up it's SOUTHERN BORDER, although he has consistently refused to secure OUR southern border! This is the first time I have had these feelings about the President, and I hate to be disrespectful, but he is an asshole:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/09/merida-initiative-update-white-house-sneaks-it-into-war-spending-bill/

The Bastard (Michael Bloomberg) has asked a judge to disallow any reference to the 2nd Amendment in a trial on guns in New York City...what a freakin' outrage!:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/05/gag-on-2nd-amendment-in-new-york-citys.html

This, my friends, is ominous. The country may be getting ready to elect to the Presidency a man whose views on the Constitution and the Courts are nothing short of frightening. The Volokh Conspiracy has two posts on the subject, here:

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/01/may-day-may-day-all-purpose-left-wing-grievance-day/

The Volokh Conspiracy has the right idea. May 1 should be 'Victims of Communism Day' due to the fact that Communism is responsible for the murders of at least 110 MILLION people in the USSR, China, Cambodia, and other countries:

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

Mike McCarville reports that the Democratic Party fears a racial divide, created by Barack and Hillary, in this year's Presidential race:
http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/democratic-party-fears-racial-divide.html

John Lott has details on the Supreme Court ruling today concerning photo voter I.D.s:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/04/supreme-court-upholds-indiana-voter.html

Michelle Malkin live-blogs from the National Press Club as the Reverend Jeremiah 'Kill Whitey' Wright continues with his unintelligible pronouncements. Funny that his only claim to fame is being Barack Obama's spiritual mentor:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/28/liveblogging-obama-at-the-national-press-club/

Tam comments further on Wright's goofy remarks here:
http://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/2008/04/that-depends-on-what-your-definition-of.html

Wait till you see why the Massachusetts police are getting black uniforms. David Codrea tells us here:
http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2008/04/were-only-ones-instilling-fear-enough.html

Was Fred Thompson too 'normal' to be President? The Volokh Conspiracy suggests he may be, along with Thompson's reasons for being unwilling to run for VP:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_04_20-2008_04_26.shtml#1209215555

A Keyboard and a .45 has an offer from the Fifty Caliber Institute:

Pennsylvania and other Democrat-leaning states:

Freedom Sight blogs on 'the Parker Six' and some nutty and outdated laws on political activity and spending:
http://freedomsight.net/?p=2460

The Bastard is at it again. Bloomberg is coming to Nashville to drum up more support for his group of gun-grabbing mayors. Uncle has the story:
http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/04/28/bloomberg-comes-to-nashville/

And Of Arms and the Law points out that the gun-grabbing mayors have more than a few skeletons in their closets!:
http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2008/04/tell_me_it_aint.php

LIBERTY ALERT! SCOTUS UPHOLDS VOTER ID

In a stunning decision that is sure to totally revamp the manner in which voting is done in the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Indiana law requiring photo voter I.D.

The Court ruled that requiring proper photo identification at the polls is NOT a violation of Constitutional rights.

It is our opinion that the ruling is long overdue. It is also a stinging defeat for Democrats who tend to favor 'open voting' and a major victory for Republicans who wish to thwart illegal activity at the voting booth.

Thus, the door is open for many more states to pass voter photo I.D. laws that target illegal aliens and other forms of voter fraud such as persons using the names of the deceased in order to vote more than once.

The High Court is to be congratulated for a good ruling today.

Sebastian has two must-reads today. The first is on how to get pro-liberty candidates involved in the political process:

Dr. John Lott is reporting today that Frito-Lay supports gun control by putting anti-gun messages in Doritos bags:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/04/frito-lay-supports-gun-control.html

Dr. Lott also passes along a VERY important piece of news concerning climate change. The four agencies that track the earth's temps show a drop in the average temp during 2007, which puts us back where we were in 1930:

JR has an important post on developing and improving shooting skills:
http://akeyboardanda45.blogspot.com/2008/04/fits-gets-letters.html

Alphecca comments on the soaring gas prices and wants taxes repealed on gasoline and diesel. That's exactly what I've been saying all along, for government gets more from a gallon of gas than the oil companies. By the way, McCain has called for the removal of the federal tax on gas in order to provide relief (but the states and municipalities need to do the same thing):

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/16/08

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

We all know the problems with Democratic candidates on various issues that are important to conservatives. But Michelle Malkin says that when it comes to illegal aliens, they have nothing on John McCain (who seems to think anyone who supports enforcing the law on illegal aliens is intellectually deficient):

Joe Lieberman is one Democrat who is level-headed enough to be his own man. I disagree with him on some issues, but fully support him on others. John McCain may use Lieberman to appeal to fair-minded Democrats, says Dr. John Lott:

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

Mike McCarville has the MUST-read of the day from 'The Hill,' and it seems Barack Messiah Obama has placed the gun issue at the forefront of the campaign:

John Lott blogs on the landmines Obama faces this fall if the Dems are dumb enough to give him the nomination:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/04/land-mines-that-obama-faces-this-fall.html

Lott also writes about the political mess at the Federal Election Commission, created by none other than, you guessed it, Congressional Democrats:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/04/political-mess-at-fec.html

I pine for the days when Sam Walton was alive and running the show at Walmart. The company today has betrayed nearly all of the values dear to Sam, including gun rights. When Walmart starts taking its marching orders from the likes of Mayor Bloomberg, something is terribly wrong. Sebastian has the story:
http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/2008/04/15/time-to-zumbo-wal-mart/

FreedomSight reports this good news--25,000 students who support concealed carry on campus:
http://freedomsight.net/?p=2437

Now this is what we've been lacking in this campaign so far--details, details, details. Well, John McCain has them in his new economic proposal that is far-reaching and workable. The Volokh Conspiracy presents the McCain plan:

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/14/08

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

Dustin's Gun Blog has the MUST-read of the day, entitled, 'ATF--Monster Without a Master':
http://dustinsgunblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/atf-monster-without-master.html

McCarville reports that Barack Obama admits he chose his words poorly about Pennsylvanians (but he never repudiated the ideas behind those words!):
http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/obama-admits-he-chose-his-words-poorly.html

McCarville also has an interesting report of Obama mocking Hillary's supposed support of gun rights (which is interesting since Obama is the gun-grabber extraordinaire and Hillary is only one step behind him):
http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/obama-rips-clinton-mocks-gun-rights.html

Sebastian reports that not only has Obama lost his lead in Pennsylvania over his remarks about the citizens in that state, but now Hillary has a whopping 20-point lead in the polls:

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/8/08

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

As previously reported, one of Barack Obama's mentors is the infamous Snuffy Pfleger, the notorious gun-grabbing Catholic priest. Sebastian has more on this story that is of growing interest to the gun rights community:
http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/2008/04/08/obama-ties-to-snuffy-pfleger/

And it seems that the Snuffy-Obama connection has also caught the attention of the Volokh Conspiracy:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_04_06-2008_04_12.shtml#1207631070

Uncle says to get over it already! We have some allies in the government. In fact, The Liberty Sphere was paid a visit today by someone in the U.S. Government. But I have never been investigated nor have I been a target. Read Uncle's words of wisdom:
http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/04/08/gun_blogging_notes/

Nicki comments on the growing smoking bans around and about, and yes, it is an issue of personal liberty. But this post is written only as Nicki can:

Who says there is no slippery slope? Alphecca writes about a handgun ban petition in Canada:
http://www.alphecca.com/?p=709

Michelle Malkin has the complete, infuriating blow by blow of Petraeus' appearance on Capitol Hill. Democrats came out swinging, heckling the General, even as they made sure hecklers were given access to the hearing room to stage yet another stupid 'protest':

Traction Control reminds us that Buy a Gun Day is quickly coming:

Say Uncle reports that some leftist rag in the country formerly known as 'Great' Britain thinks that Charlton Heston's love for guns meant he was no longer interested in civil rights:
http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/04/07/i_do_not_think_it_means_what_you_think_it_means-3/

On the other hand, Alphecca has an example of a Brit that gets it right:

Mike McCarville point to a poll that shows Hillary and Obama tied in Pennsylvania:
http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/clinton-obama-tied-in-pennsylvania.html

It seems Barack Obama is showing that he is even more lacking in scruples than Hillary. Michelle Malkin reports that Obama is selling himself in Pennsylvania as the 'pro-gun candidate.' ROFL!! And I suppose Hillary is the Reagan Conservative in the race! What a complete, unadulterated charlatan!:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/07/what-obamessiah-now-sells-himself-to-rural-pennsylvania-as-the-pro-gun-candidate/

Of interest to environmentalist wackoes and their enemies--'A Tale of Two Houses,' (my title), written by John Lott...a MUST-read!:

Syd at Front Sight, Press announces he is taking a break from blogging and broadcasting, and sending out emails...a tiresome, time-consuming, and often thankless task.

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:
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/04/list-of-claimed-lies-by-obama-unchecked.html
