Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/11/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Armed and Safe says 'to hell with it' concerning the ATF's contention that attaching a handle to a pistol without filling out tons of paperwork is enough to land you in prison for 10 years. I agree. The jackbooted thugs still plot against the Constitutional liberties of the citizens.
Dark Blog comments on my post today concerning North Carolina's new legislation mandating that those committed to mental facilities have their names added to a national database of 'crazies' who can never buy guns.
David Codrea weighs in on the subject with a post entitled, 'North Carolina Rats Out to Feds.' David also nails it by pointing to a post that shows the antis actually believe ALL of our rights are 'collective' if they were to be honest.
JR at A Keyboard and a .45 has an interesting snippet entitled, 'A Pistol in the Park.'
Squeaky posts this item on 'the rifle case win.'
Breda provides some much-needed Friday afternoon humor. Thanks, Breda!
Mark Steyn provides a link to the transcripts of his appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show. And by the way, Steyn is also appearing with Rush Limbaugh as we speak.
The American Thinker points to some key signs of new life for the John McCain campaign.
John Lott documents at least a partial list of all of Barack Obama's 'regrets.' There is one regret about which I have absolutely no doubt, however...and that is the regret of the American people if they put Barack Obama in the White House.
Dr. Lott also wonders what else in on that infamous Fox News tape of Jessie Jackson's rant against Barack Obama, of which only a small portion was broadcast.
Sebastian provides a thorough analysis of 'the suicide angle' as the next tactic the antis will use to try to take away gun rights.
