Focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
The Volokh Conspiracy has issued a primer on a series of briefs filed in D.C. vs. Heller before the U.S. Supreme Court. I will list links to them all, which were posted yesterday and today:

Interesting. Of Arms and the Law has an example of hypocrisy within the gun control movement, and it is a high profile example!:

OK, folks, now I am hopping mad. How much longer do we have to endure Bush???? He has just proposed a 1.4 billion dollar aid package for Mexico to secure its southern border with Central America! DAMN! The betrayer won't even secure OUR OWN southern border! I used to love George W. Bush back in 2001-2005. Now he is anathama:

Michelle Malkin also has an update on the douchbag Mayor of Toledo, Ohio who threw out the Marines. It seems the members of the City Council aren't too pleased:

Born Again Redneck has some advice for those of us who are anti-McCain. It's ok...I can take my medicine, but I never stopped reading Redneck's blog just because he endorsed McCain when Thompson dropped out. We all have our reasons for the positions we take:

OK, I just had to do it. This has nothing to do with guns or politics. Cap'n Bob and the Damsel have one of the most beautiful dogs on earth, and, being a dog man myself, I just had to share this pic with you....just look at that face and those eyes:

Hate Crimes Bill a Nazi Thought-Police Spree
Washington, DC (TLS). Without allowing real debate or amendments to guard free speech and expression, House Democrats passed the so-called 'hate crimes bill' that is actually a license for government to act as the thought police.
Under the ethically-challenged guidance of Rep. John Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee, this bill will essentially make it a hate crime for a minister of the Christian gospel to describe homosexual behavior as a sin, even if it is read straight from the pages of the Holy Bible.
Republicans attempted to amend the bill to grant exemptions to religious organizations which by their very nature are charged with the responsibility to speak sometimes uncomfortable truths that fly in the face of the opinions of the masses.
I am sure Conyers, for example, would not have agreed that the fact that slave owners considered the preaching against slavery by America's ministers constituted hate crimes against slave owners and Southerners. These courageous men often took a stance on the issues of the day that were very unpopular.
What right does the U.S. Government have to tell a minister of a congregation that he cannot speak the truth from the Bible as he interprets it?
The Nazis silenced their opposition in Germany by attacking churches and religious bodies. They did this by first determining what form of speech was allowed. And then, since they had already confiscated the citizens' guns, there was no real resistance when the jackbooted thugs came knocking on their doors to haul them off to camps for merely speaking forbidden words.
President Bush has said he will veto this bill, as well he should. And Congress should promptly uphold that veto. This is a bill that attacks freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of speech.

How Long Can America Last?
Washington, DC (TLS). From 'Warchick' we find the following sobering analysis...a MUST-read!
How long does a Republic last? How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years . During those 200 years, these Nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage
With that in mind, consider this:
Population of counties won by Al Gore vs. those won by George Bush in 2000:
Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million;
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000
States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won, was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare. The United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake knowing that APATHY Is the greatest danger to our freedom.
I disagree; we are in between dependence and bondage. It will take only one large natural disaster or attack affecting the majority of people for martial law to be declared. Once the people accept that, it will never be repealed.-- SO SAYS WARCHICK, Resa LaRu Kirkland
