Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/14/08

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

From David Codrea's War on Guns:
*David comments on the story I cited yesterday at Volokh Conspiracy, 'Fincher Conviction Affirmed.' This is today's MUST-read concerning the Courts being 'Constitution-free zones.' What an outrage.
*'The Heller High Watermark'--David's latest article in Guns Magazine.
*'Republicans for Obama'--what happens when you let Bolsheviks into the 'Big Tent.'

Armed and Safe has news about the United Methodist Church and guns. Frankly, I am not surprised. The UMC has been moving Leftward for decades.

JR's interview with Texas Weekly is posted at A Keyboard and a .45. JR follows up with another post today on how conservative bloggers can catch up to the head-start the liberals got on using the Internet. This is essential reading for conservative bloggers.

Nicki at The Liberty Zone comments on the D.C. gun situation with 'Why I Shouldn't Listen to Radio in the Morning.'

Sebastian has some excellent questions to ask California lawmakers on their ridiculous ammo sales tracking program, but which the MSM will never ask.

The Bitch Girls post an NRA News moment that's worth listening to.

21 Guns Salute provides an interesting perspective on the Russian invasion of Georgia.

Speaking of the Russian invasion, My Way News has an article on Russia's violation of the truce with Georgia.

In addition, The Times of London has Bush's warning to Vladimir Putin.

Squeaks points to an article that says Russia isn't planning on leaving anytime soon to boot.

Mike McCarville reports that there is a major controversy raging over the famous Davis Gun Collection in Oklahoma.

Well Well Well. It seems the Chi-Coms have been caught red handed in a cheating scandal at the Olympics. Who wudda thunk it?

Michelle Malkin reports that the Democrats' anti-drilling rhetoric on oil simply ain't cuttin' it with their constituents.

The GOA issues an alert concerning proposed TSA rules that will take away your right to self-defense at the nation's airports. This is in response to the dreadful events surrounding the Atlanta airport earlier in the week.

Open Carry has a hot thread going about the Brady Bunch's characterization of the group as 'pushy and aggressive.'

Western Rifle Shooters Association points to info provided by David Hardy concerning a federal judge who will likely weaken the Heller decision when appeals come his way.

Freedom Sight reports that Ryan Horsley of Red's Trading Post has a new blog, in addition to the new website of the store itself. I've already put Red's website in my list of links under 'websites.' Now, I will add Ryan's blog under the category of 'blogs.' Good!

Robb Allen posts a doozy today that's got my blood boiling. Take a look at this item on infringement of Constitutional rights!

Say Uncle has an interesting read on his, shall we say, 'less-than-pleasant' experience at the Knox County Sheriff's Office.

The Ninth Stage says 'STOP IT!' Go take a look at a good post!

Islamic Danger to Americans has a nifty item on Barack Obama--and the joke may not be as funny as you think!

LIAR! Putin Breaks 1-Day-Old Truce with Georgia

In less than 24-hours after agreeing to a cease-fire with the Georgian Republic which it had illegally invaded, the Russian Communists under the direction of Vladimir Putin broke the agreement by sending in the tanks and troops through a southern Georgian town, provoking violence.

Putin's actions are reminiscent of one Adolf Hitler, who, after signing a treaty with Chamberlain of Great Britain, promising to stop invading territory that wasn't his, proceeded to invade Poland before the ink had dried on the document.

Perhaps the words of CNN's Jack Cafferty in describing the Chi-Coms as 'the same old goons and thugs they've always been' also apply to Putin and the Kremlin.

A Commie is always a Commie. You can take him out of the old military uniforms worn by totalitarians of the past, dress him up in a nicely-tailored Western suit, have him smile and say nice things about 'human rights,' but in the end he is still a Commie who wants to take away your liberty.

And he certainly still wants to take over as much of the world as possible.

Putin and the Russian Commies are no different. Not only do they want Georgia, but if they are allowed to succeed in this blatant violation of a nation's sovereignty, they will want the Ukraine and Poland as well.

The liars need to nipped in the bud before the menace gets too big to manage.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/12/08

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

From David Codrea's War on Guns:
*"Follow the Results"--which contains the quote of the day concerning David Olofson.
*"A Maryland Shooter"--there is a dire warning here for gun owners in Maryland as law enforcement begins using intimidation tactics.
*"Support Your Local Gang Rape"--this one should make you sick. Law enforcement actually encourages atrocities like these within prisons.

Armed and Safe has something that should get your blood boiling this afternoon. How about a law professor who believes ALL gun owners should face legal liability whether they are guilty of anything or not!?

A Keyboard and a .45 has an interesting news story concerning football coaches that are grappling with gun policies.

Mike McCarville posts an interesting read on Senator Tom Coburn, R-OK, and his ongoing dispute with the Senate Ethics Committee concerning his delivering babies for FREE! It seems the Dems want to hang Coburn because he often ties up abominable legislation the Democrats introduce in the Senate, making him a VERY valuable resource in the cause of freedom.

Gateway Pundit provides vital reading on the ground invasion of Georgia by Russian troops, just as the New York Times reports that Russia has ordered a halt to the invasion.

Gateway has an update on the John Edwards sex scandal which shows that the Senator's version of the events don't square with the facts.

Gateway is also reporting that Nancy Pelosi has indicated she may cave on the GOP's demands for a vote in the House on offshore oil drilling.

The Hill has more on the story of Pelosi's supposed willingness to allow an offshore drilling vote.

CNS reports that the Communist Party USA has endorsed Barack Obama and says that if elected he will end 30 years of 'ultra-right rule.'

The U.K. Telegraph posts an op-ed that says the great oil bubble has finally burst.

Wallet Pop reports on an 'air car' that supposedly gets up to 106 miles per gallon by using a combination of compressed air and gasoline.

The Autonomist has the Barack Obama dupe salute. LOL! (H/t to Rezkorama).

From Dr. John Lott:
*Video of Lott's Debate with Paul Helmke on Gun Free Zones on college campuses
*New Op-Ed on Obama's statements on energy efficiency
*Judge upholds gun ban at Atlanta airport--time to gear up for another fight.

Today's MUST-read is at Western Rifle Shooters Association entitled, 'The Penalty is Always Death.' This piece is not for the faint of heart but it tells the truth about the tactics of the growing all-powerful government.

Sebastian reports that a federal court has upheld Lautenberg. Damn.

Robb Allen notes some good news concerning the gun ban in Evanston, Illinois.

Nicki hits one out of the ballpark today. This is good writing, and her sentiments on what is right about America is something we need to hear.

Ahab has the info on tonight's podcast of 'Gun Nuts--The Next Generation.' This is a great Internet radio show that apparently is growing. So give it a listen!

Alphecca says it the way I like it about Communist China. YEAH, what he said!!!

Texas Fred provides hard-hitting commentary on the Russia-Georgia situation. Not sure I agree with all of it, but it is an opinion worth reading and considering.

Insight on Freedom has a warning to America. Read it all.

MCCAIN CALLS FOR ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA

In response to Russia's invasion of the sovereign nation of Georgia, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain stated Monday that the nations of the G-7 should call an emergency meeting to discuss a concerted response.

According to CNS News Service, McCain believes the actions of the Russians to be a serious violation of international law. He also stated it was obvious that the Russians have every intention of taking over the country.

In addition to the emergency meeting of the G-7, McCain also called for a special meeting of the North Atlantic Council of NATO in order to demand a cease-fire.

NATO, said McCain, should begin discussing the possibility of sending an international peacekeeping force into Georgia and begin deliberations about future relations with Russia, the implication being that unless Russia stands down there will be serious repercussions concerning its relationship with NATO.

Many international political observers believe that the Russian invasion of Georgia is a signal that we may be entering into a new ominous era reminiscent of the Cold War.

One thing is clear, however. The Russians under Vladimir Putin still believe in the old Soviet Communist ideal of total domination.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/11/08

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

From David Codrea's War on Guns:
*'The One Way Door of Separation'--it seems the government is giving money to churches if they will only buy into the pc movement of the church of Marxist secularism.
*'The Kenneth Stokes Solution' --this guy wants to ban gun sales at pawn shops.
*'Showdown in Atlanta'--the City of Atlanta squares off against gun owners TODAY. David says this one is one to watch very closely.

Armed and Safe has a MUST-read follow-up to the Mike Vanderboegh letter to the editor that created such a stir in the gun-rights community.

Mike Vanderboegh's 'Revolution' is posted at Western Rifle Shooters Association.

A Keyboard and a .45 gives us a range report.

Snow Flakes in Hell points to the Olympic Babe of the Day--a beautiful girl with a gun!

Folks, this is what it's all about--training non-gun folk to shoot. Nobody does more for this cause than Breda.

Say Uncle says that just when he thought the Democrats were 'getting it,' they put stupid things in their platform. Read it all.

Robb Allen posts 'Gun vs. Taser.'

Mike McCarville reports that most Americans believe that media bias is a bigger problem in the 2008 campaign than large campaign contributions.

Freedom Sight gives us an update on Red's Trading Post and Cavalry Arms.

Alphecca muses over a John McCain-Hillary Clinton ticket.

Cap'n Bob and the Damsel test out their newly-repaired Para Warthog...video included.

WSJ has a riveting op-ed, written by the President of Georgia, on the Russian invasion (h/t to Blogstitution).

Atlas Shrugs provides MUST-read commentary on the invasion, plus the response by John McCain and Barack Obama.

Michelle Malkin provides a helpful update on falling gasoline prices and the GOP's pressure on energy concerns, and has a MUST-read on Barack Obama's lies on abortion.

The Rustmeister points to a post that says Senator Bob Corker dropped the ball on energy policy by joining the Senate's 'Gang of 10.'

Texas Fred reports that he and his wife may be moving to California (for her job). Fred, if you have to do that, better take some strong disinfectant with you out there. The place is full of gun-grabbing Commies.

The Smallest Minority has a story that shows how dangerous the government has become in this country. As the great Ronald Reagan once said, 'The government IS the problem.'

Via Rezkorama, Reality Bytes shows just how far to the Left Barack Obama really is--you gotta see this!

An Ol' Broad's Ramblings reports the ominous news that Barack Obama supports the global tax from the U.N.

Syd at Front Sight, Press has a MOST interesting read on caliber snobbery. I suppose I fit into that category. I simply don't like the smaller caliber handguns, and frankly, I think they can be dangerous in a critical situation.

Russia Seeks Return to Soviet Domination

It is clear that with Vladimir Putin's invasion of the sovereign nation of Georgia, Russia is seeking to return to the old days of Soviet domination in the region.

The former province of the USSR had sought and won its independence from Russia at the end of the Cold War. As long as former Russian President Boris Yeltsin was at the helm, Georgia could be assured of its continued independence.

But with the ascension of former KGB operative Vladimir Putin to the nation's highest office, political observers have noticed a distinct turn away from the reforms accomplished under Mikael Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin and a gradual return to the oppressive policies of the old Communist USSR.

The relatively small nation of Georgia is no match for the Russian army. When the tanks rolled in, Georgian citizens were clearly outnumbered and overpowered. Reports from Moscow indicate that Putin plans to send in even more tanks and troops.

Clearly, the intent is a complete takeover of the country, which many analysts say poses an ominous threat to the region and may signal the beginning of a new Cold War.

European nations in particular have grave concerns about the Russian violation and its ramifications for other nations in the region.

Make no mistake, Putin is a Communist and never stopped being a Communist, though in the early part of his regime he acted as if he were a reformer in the tradition of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The KGB agent in him is too strong and too powerful. His tactics were born in the bowels of the KGB. And his goal is Russian dominance in the tradition of Stalin, Kruschev, and Brezhnev.

The entire community of the free world should unanimously and strongly condemn Russia for its act of aggression against a basically defenseless sovereign nation.

And unless the Russian army stands down, there should be swift and resolute military consequences initiated by the West.
