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.

Sounds like my kind of deal!

Mike Guzman and thousands of other students say the best way to prevent campus bloodshed is more guns.

Guzman, an economics major at Texas State University-San Marcos, is among 8,000 students nationwide who have joined the nonpartisan Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, arguing that students and faculty already licensed to carry concealed weapons should be allowed to pack heat along with their textbooks.

“It’s the basic right of self defense,” said Guzman, a 23-year-old former Marine. “Here on campus, we don’t have that right, that right of self defense.”

I completely agree with the student group. Any student who has a concealed weapons permit should be able to carry his gun on campus as well. The VA-Tech massacre would not have happened if a few of the students had guns. He would have been able to kill one or two students, but not 33.

When a student like the one at VA-Tech decides to start shooting people, the rest of the students are completely defenseless. It would save lives if students were able to fight back, and it may even act as a deterrent to future gunmen.

Crazed students don’t think twice about planning a massacre at a school, because they know that no one will be able to defend themselves. They might reconsider if they knew that others will be armed as well.

These days, I would carry a concealed gun on campus regardless of what the law says. The only thing gun control laws do is prevent good people from protecting themselves. Criminals are always gonna have guns, so it’s best that both sides are armed.

From CNS News:

The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that it will decide whether the ban on owning guns in the District of Columbia is constitutional, a pivotal case that could determine if the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right to own firearms.

At issue is a 31-year-old Washington, D.C., law banning handguns and requiring that all shotguns and rifles be kept unloaded and either trigger-locked or disassembled at all times.

There is no exception for self-defense. “The Bill of Rights does not end at the District of Columbia’s borders, and it includes the right to keep and bear arms, said Alan Gura, lead counsel for the plaintiffs in Heller v. District of Columbia.
