Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

For those who actually support the Constitution & our Bill of Rights, there are demonstrations being planned in each state for Saturday, 01/19/13 @ 12:00 p.m. The group kind of arranging this for Ohio is Guns Across America - Ohio on Facebook.

It seems the would be tyrants in D.C. are ignoring the voice of the law-abiding citizens & exploiting another tragedy to push a progressive agenda. Sky-rocketing gun sales & the 100,000+ increase in NRA membership in the past couple weeks hasn't really sunk in. The message must be clear - you vote for any additional gun laws, we vote you out of office. "We The People" will speak again, just like the last time the pulled this.

Only if you readily admit to owning firearms !

Thanks stickhauler. You are awesome.

Actually, the $300.00 Life Membership isn't really new, I've seen it offered several times over the past few years.

And if you don't know anybody to sponsor you, there is an alternative. Tom Gresham, host of "Gun Talk" is also a NRA recruiter. He's offered annual memberships for years at the $25.00 /year price. He's offering the $300.00 Life Membership deal, with a toll free number linked to his membership info. The toll free number is: 1-888-678-7894

R1KRA8 - I just read it and I thank you for posting it. I WOULD enjoy reading what our DEAR Fred Oneill thinks about the possibility of it becoming a reality. He has such a keen insight into all-things-Obama.

BTW - If you know a Life Member of the NRA, they can get you a life membership for $300, through 2/28/13. NRA LMs have been $1000 recently and the special $300 rate is the lowest I remember for the past twenty years.

How Will They Confiscate Your Guns?

by John A. Sutter

(Keep And Bear Arms)

"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crime." ~ Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson

sorry about the spelling errors. rushing here.

*load

munster...you might wish to check your britches...i think that is where the laod is. many countries have tried and use the alternative and it isn't too good...at least for their citizens. i'll gmable with free enterprise myself. you can keep suckiling on the government teat if you wish. the way folks are getting dependent on government, you may be having to share that nipple.

Well which servitude do you want ?? we tried the private company servitude and that didnt work very well so lets try something new !!What a load !

Reports from Biden’s meetings are that this is all about gun control and has nothing to do about protecting the children. Nothing is being said about mental health. 2nd amendment backers told us that Obama would do this sometime. He also believes that you should never let a tragedy go to waste. The chickens have come home to roost on this one. Obama has no one to fear anymore. He no longer has to compromise. Look at his new cabinet choices. He certainly could use Romney’s binders of women now.

lts - I just read the most succinctly expressed opinion (IMO) for unquestioned support of our 2nd amendment. It was expressed by R. L. Wilson in his book; Ruger & His Guns: A History of The Man, the Company and Their Firearms (Chartwell Books, 1996) pages 307 - 309, under the articles "On the Right to Own Firearms" and "Firearms Legislation".

Although the book is copyrighted 1996, those articles may as well have been written this morning with our present 'political' atmosphere.

owing our soul to the company store to owing it to the goverment store. but i am sure that the production will skyrocket initially since they will have all of the well-rested unemployed government dependents ready to begin their servitude. oh happy days!!!!!

Kunectdots. sweet isn't it. i thought 10 years of protection would be enough...but apparently he may be planning to upset enough folks that he may just need that lifetime extention put into effect. when i read the news on yahoo, it only mentioned he and g.w. being covered under his new decree. boy billy jeff, h.w.b. and jimmy "peanut" carter must be a little peeved at the news....oh wait, bill is probably covered under hillary's umbrella of protection. looks like the who's who in society and government are arming themselves. it's aa good thing that the common man will be unarmed soon....easier to control, since they already control the currency, healthcare, commerce, housing, food, medicine, and soon to be energy. how do you think our women will look in the hillary clinton chairman mao suit? just think how great it will be when we'll have to show up at the governent controlled production facilities to get our ebt cards credited! they will have succeeded in taking us from owi

thegreek - You mentioned "the rich and famous can defend themselves with a GUN..". Obama just reinstituted LIFE-LONG PROTECTION from the Secret Service for the president and his family, returning to a status that elapsed in 1997.

What the supporters of the second amendment have feared since Obama took office: Joe Biden said yesterday that the president is considering by-passing congress on gun control and will do it by executive order. “President Barack Obama is "determined to take action" against gun violence and is weighing possible executive orders”.

Welcome to Obamaland...............

So Moderation I am confused. I re read all your past posts which almost all of them start off naming me. Just what is your position on the 2nd ammendment? Do you not think that people do not enjoy semi-automatics as much as you do your muzzleloader. Doesn't make sense to me. One group of lawmakers want simply to expand registration and the other, Feinstein wants and has been working on sweeping changes. Do you think we should all carry a single shot or muzzleloader? When are people gonna realize that the bad guys will get guns no matter if they are illegal, jeesh.

Mod , I'm thinking it must be Ari ,cause he seems to glean "facts" from the dead !I never said I agreed to anything !Us types eh ? Well thats still better than one of those types !
