From Fox Nation:

On March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, Jim Brady, who sustained a debilitating head wound in the attack, and his wife, Sarah, came to Capitol Hill to push for a ban on the controversial “large magazines.” Brady, for whom the law requiring background checks on handgun purchasers is named, then met with White House press secretary Jay Carney. During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control, “to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda,” she said.

“I just want you to know that we are working on it,” Brady recalled the president telling them. “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.”

These people never give up. I’ve said from the beginning that this administration needs to be watched like a hawk when it comes to guns. Between Obama’s anti-gun history and Attorney General Eric Holder’s lifelong crusade against guns, the 2nd Amendment is in real danger.

Secondly, this large magazine capacity issue is totally phony. Outlawing certain magazines will have zero effect on gun violence. It’s silly. We cannot give an inch when it comes to our guns. You give them hi-cap magazines and it will be something else next year.

In the wake of the horrific shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said Monday he plans to carry a gun while in his home district. “I just feel more comfortable having it there if the unmentionable, if the unfathomable were actually to happen,” the Congressman said.

Sounds like my kind of deal!

An 82-year old man is being charged with 12 felonies including attempted murder for shooting at two illegal aliens who were stealing his trailer.

I don’t understand how this can even be possible. He shot at two thieves who were stealing his trailer. I can imagine this kind of insanity in NYC or San Francisco, but Colorado?

He didn’t even hit anyone. He only shot at them. This is outrageous.

From the AP:

The Supreme Court says the Constitution’s "right to keep and bear arms" applies nationwide as a restraint on the ability of government to limit its application.

The justices on Monday cast doubt on a Chicago area handgun ban, but also signaled in their 5-4 decision that less severe restrictions could survive legal challenges.

A new Gallup poll of gun owners shows 55% believe President Obama will at some point try and ban guns.

A new Gallup poll may explain recent reports of increased gun and ammunition sales in the U.S. Majorities of those who personally own a gun (55%) and of those with a gun in the household (53%), as well as 41% of all Americans, believe that President Obama "will attempt to ban the sale of guns in the United States while he is president."

It’s certainly not a far fetched thing to believe. Barack Obama has been a fierce critic of gun ownership his entire political career. There was not a single piece of gun control legislation that passed through the Chicago legislature that he did not offer his full-throated support for.

It was only when he decided to run for president that he suddenly put on a more gun friendly face. We’re not fooled. Not only does President Obama despise gun ownership, Attorney General Eric Holder has been a long-time crusader for gun control. Both Obama and Holder have expressed a desire to ban handguns for all Americans.

It’s not likely any kind of ban on guns would be successful even if Obama tried it, but all Americans must remain vigilant. If not for the economy and health care, I suspect Obama would have already tried to reinstate the “assault weapons” ban.

Barack Obama is the most extreme radical leftist ever to occupy The White House. He doesn’t like the Constitution and he doesn’t like capitalism. Therefore, everything he does must be viewed through this lens. Our freedoms, including the right to bear arms, have never been under greater threat than they are right now.

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I’m a huge 2nd Amendment defender. You can click the banner above and buy all the guns you want. I have a conceal carry permit here in Texas and I’m proud of it.

That said, if you bring an AR-15 to an Obama health care protest you’re not exercising your 2nd Amendment right, you’re just a nut.

I love my AR-15 and my AK-47 as much as the next guy, but It would never cross my mind to wear them to a health care protest. Why? Because I don’t have a screw loose.

People who think it’s cute to openly wear a firearm to a town hall especially one the President is attending are not only wrong — they’re stupid.

Acting like an ass with your gun rights doesn’t strengthen the 2nd Amendment, it actually weakens it.

There is no reason on earth for a citizen to have a rifle slung over his shoulder or a pistol attached to his leg at a protest rally. It’s a provocative act that creates a threatening atmosphere where people should be able to freely express themselves.

When people foolishly brandish AR-15’s at health care protests it only gives ammunition (no pun intended) to the gun control crowd, who desperately want to show that Americans are not responsible enough to own guns.

I’m not saying you can’t have your gun in the car like you normally would, just don’t carry it in the open at a damn health care protest!

Moreover, bringing a firearm anywhere near the vicinity of the President is totally insane. It’s not funny, it’s not brave, it’s not cute, it’s f*cking insane and you should have yourself checked out by a mental health professional.

Just because you have the right to openly carry a rifle or pistol doesn’t mean you should in every situation. It’s called common sense, people — look into it.

This from the AP:

The Senate on Wednesday rejected letting people carry hidden guns in 48 states if they have a concealed weapon permit in any one of them, a rare victory for gun control advocates in a Democratic-controlled Congress that has been friendly to the gun lobby.

Opponents said it would force states with tough concealed weapon permit restrictions to let in gun carriers from states that give permits to convicted criminals, minors and people with no firearms training.

"It’s extremely dangerous policy," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., noting that her state demands fingerprinting, federal background checks, a course of training, and verification by a local sheriff before issuing a permit to carry a concealed gun.

As as the proud holder of a concealed carry permit here in Texas, I don’t think it’s “dangerous” for me to carry my concealed gun into other states that also allow concealed carry.

This bill would have made a conceal carry permit in one state valid in other states with conceal carry laws.

I think it’s funny if the left considers the defeat of this bill some kind of great victory for them — it only failed by two votes.

According to AmmoLand.com, Americans bought enough firearms in 3 months to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian Army combined. Moreover, Americans bought more than 1.5 billion rounds of ammunition in the month of December alone.

Whenever I think all might be lost for this country, I read statistics like that and I know we’ll be fine. Americans are smart to buy as much firepower as they can, because contrary to his rhetoric Barack Obama is the most anti-gun president we’ve ever had.
