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.
