The War on Guns: Backpedaling on the New 'Assault Weapons' Ban

The War on Guns: Backpedaling on the New 'Assault Weapons' Ban

Apparently Holder let the cat out of the bag early, and Pelosi is not ready yet to have that revealed.

Government has a Free Speech Right?

Over at the New Republic (Yes, I occasionally read TNR. Surprised?) Alan Wolfe
has an article excoriating the Supreme Court for really bad reasoning in a case involving one of our Natural Rights, free speech.

First off, I would put the 10 Commandments up against anything that another religion could come up with in terms of stating what our duties are to God and to one another. For those who are afraid the Lord would not be amused, I think he had plenty of time to work them out, and he might well say "bring on your seven aphorisms." Just sayin'.... But, to the point, neither corporations, nor governments can have rights. Individuals people have rights.

Yet more signs that things are unravelling.

Ratcheting Up...

The Newbius Papers alerts us to Attorney General Eric Holder's stated goal of re-imposing a so called "assault weapon ban" in the name of controlling violence on the Mexican border. Hat tip to the War on Guns. I titled my post "ratcheting up" because the the gun grabbers have already fired the first salvo in North Carolina by putting up their Ammunition Accountability nonsense. You can find that here.



Also from the War on Guns is a Gun Rights Examiner article
We don't do what we're told. The article discusses more ways to throw sand in the machine that thinks it is rolling over you.

No We Won't

Laura Hollis has a wonderful article up today. You can read it all here, and I encourage each one to read it, think about it, and ask ourselves how we can say to those who would be our masters, "No We Won't."

This may seem a complete non sequitur to people frantic about the disappearance of a trillion dollars down a rabbit hole. But that money isn’t spent yet. The 2010 elections could change things dramatically. But throwing the hypocritical spendthrift bums out of Congress (and they wrote this bill, not Obama) is dependent upon American’s access to truthful information. This, for the moment therefore, is the most critical fight.

Rick Santelli's now infamous "rant" on CNBC proves my point. It was the first sign of hope I’ve seen in months. And I am not alone (if the 1.7 million hits to CNBC’s website are any indication). Santelli tapped into a huge and powerful vein of public sentiment Mary Kate Cary in U.S. News and World Report called Santelli’s opinion, “the elephant in the room.” (Now there’s an image message-seeking Republicans should be able to relate to.)

Desperate times call for desperate measures. We can not just sit back and let our country be taken over by these people. We have a duty to our progeny to preserve Freedom and Liberty as birthrights for future generations of Americans.

The unFairness Doctrine

Rush Limbaugh weighs in (and protects his own pocketbook of course) on proposed rules designed to shut up those who won't shut up, in a rare appearance in the Wall Street Journal.

Mr. President, we both know that this new effort at regulating speech is
not about diversity but conformity. It should be rejected. You've said you're
against reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, but you've not made it clear where
you stand on possible regulatory efforts to impose so-called local content,
diversity-of-ownership, and public-interest rules that your FCC could
issue.

Three Years Old

Finally, for today, my Grand Daughter was officially 3 years old yesterday. We are having a party for her on Saturday, but spent a little time last night with her and her parents. Children are a great blessing, and I learn something from her each time I am with her. Hopefully, she learns some (good) things from me as well.
