If the president is serious about curbing gun violence, this is what he needs to do......

Gun shows are a different matter in my book since I'm told that they don't perform background checks at gun shows. Why that loophole exists is a mystery to me, and closing it doesn't seem like too much to ask. The background checks that all of us have to endure when we purchase a rifle, shotgun, or pistol in a gun store may not be perfect, but they discourage known felons and people with a history of mental illness from attempting to buy guns.

Obama to 'Quickly' Go for Immigration Reform and Gun Control....

We must stay vigilant!!! 
I feel the reason the Obama Administration makes "everything" that happens in DC these days a "crisis" situation is that they feel it will eventually wear people down. 
Heck, it is already. They believe they can wear us down to the point we don't even watch anymore. 
That "my vote doesn't make a difference" mentality.....we must NOT allow this to happen. 
Not to sound dramatic..but our Country and the very Constitution it was created from are in serious danger. Their only protection will have to come from "We the People"....

"The timeframe is likely to be cheered by Democrats and immigration reform advocates alike, who have privately expressed fears that Obama's second term will be drowned out in seemingly unending showdowns between parties."

The outlet claims that it is "unclear what type of immigration policies the White House plans to push in January."

No details on what sort of gun control legislation the White House will seek were offered in the article.

Ready to Face a Gunfight, Armed With a Slingshot? ......

 It is interesting to note that most people who want us to be unarmed in America, are either armed, have armed bodyguards, or work and live in environments surrounded by armed security.

Remember Senator, R.C. Soles, a democrat from North Carolina? Soles had a less than stellar record on gun rights issues yet, he actually SHOT an intruder in his home.

The Conservative Response to Outing Legal Gun Owners....

Funny, when the shoe is on the other foot.....

One person, a retired police officer, told American Thinker that the Journal News has put his family and himself in danger from the criminals he has arrested, because they now know where he lives. He wondered if the newspaper had even thought about the negative consequences.

Another person preferred to remain anonymous because of her profession. She classifies herself as a liberal Democrat except on the gun issue, where she referred to herself as a conservative. After finding out from a friend that her name had been published, she felt angry, intruded on, and invaded.

California gun sales jump; gun injuries, deaths fall......

Once again - THEY - OUR FEARLESS LEADERS - ARE WRONG about gun control as is not working.....

Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data.

Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General's office.

Invincible Ignorance - Thomas Sowell

Always a voice of reason in the swirl of insanity....

The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available.

If gun control zealots had any respect for facts, they would have discovered this long ago, because there have been too many factual studies over the years to leave any serious doubt about gun control laws being not merely futile but counterproductive.

Gun sales surge after Connecticut massacre.....

As Ted Nugent says...."If guns commit murder, then my guns are defective"....it's the person pulling the trigger. You cannot legislate against EVIL.... 


Critics however say these high-power weapons, capable of firing multiple rounds quickly, are too dangerous, since their high velocity rounds can pierce most body armor and
their magazines allow for mass shootings.

Yet, statistics show, unlike handguns or shotguns, rifles account for only a fraction of homicides in the United States. Of 12,664 murder victims last year, only 323 were killed with rifles, according to the FBI.

Why Is an Arkansas City Deploying Police With AR-15s to Demand Citizens Show I.D. on the Streets?.....

If WE don't stay vigilant - this can become the norm everywhere.....

“[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck,” Stovall said. “If you’re out walking, we’re going to stop you, ask why you’re out walking, check for your ID.”

Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be.

“We’re going to do it to everybody,” he said. “Criminals don’t like being talked to.”

[...]

“They may not be doing anything but walking their dog,” he said. “But they’re going to have to prove it.”

Michael Moore: Conn. School Shooting 'What We Are'

President Ronald Reagan once looked out at America and called it, "a shining city on a hill."

Far-left filmmaker Michael Moore's take on his homeland in the wake of Friday's elementary school shooting in Connecticut? It's who we are, plain and simple.

“I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America w/ genocide, then built it w/ slaves. The shootings will continue-it's who we are,” Moore tweeted on Sunday.

Houston Dem Precinct Chair: Stop Gun Violence by Shooting NRA Members.........

I try not to name call, but this made me nuts....
OK you MORON...who you gonna "shoot"...
she's a Jr. NRA member......
You IDIOT...
She is because she's being taught proper gun usage. 
She is because she spends time with her Dad hunting. 
She is because she's American and it's her choice..as are some of her friends.
Who are you going to "shoot" NOW you absolutely vacuous supercilious ASS!

Over the weekend, Houston Democrat Precinct Chair John Cobarruvias tweeted, "Can we now shoot the #NRA and everyone who defends them?"

This, apparently, is part of what he calls "hard-hitting political commentary" on his blog "Bay Area Houston."

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Talks Gun ‘Confiscation’ .....

I'd say before they take OUR guns away - we need a little "clarity" about "Fast & Furious"...?

Liberals always say they don’t want to take away guns. But give them an awful tragedy like the Newtown, Conn. shooting and they get bolder and more honest. MSNBC host Ed Schultz showed a rare bout of such honesty during a brief Twitter exchange Saturday. Schultz asked “Why should anyone own an assault rifle ?” and followed it up by saying “it's the confiscation of these types of weapons that counts and will have an impact.”

“The Ed Show” host wasn’t done his attack on gun rights. “The NRA needs to state the case why assault weapons are needed by anyone,” he claimed. And after that, he told one poster that “a Glock pistol qualifies as an assault weapon.” That last bit is surely a surprise to both gun owners and Congress which didn’t include handguns in its previous assault weapons ban.

Ultimately, Schultz talked of changing the Constitution to one person on Twitter. “We are the Constitution and we as a people can change whatever we want. Get ready Dude !” he wrote.

Bath School disaster .....

Shows when someone is determined....no amount of political correctness, pontificating or laws will stop them....

The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, and four other adults; at least 58 people were injured. The perpetrator died of suicide in one of the explosions as well. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age[1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in United States history.

The bomber was the school board treasurer Andrew Kehoe, 55, who had opposed construction of the consolidated school in the early 1920s as it required increased property taxes. His wife was ill with tuberculosis and he was financially stressed, as he had stopped making mortgage payments and was under pressure for foreclosure. For a year, he carried out steps in a plan to destroy the school by explosives.

Some time between May 16 and the morning of May 18, Kehoe murdered his wife by beating her to death. On the morning of May 18 about 8:45, Kehoe exploded incendiary devices in his farm buildings and house, setting them on fire.

Sarah Palin tweets inspirational Newtown message; knee-jerk haters hate......

It may seem, especially after Friday, the world is spinning fast and furious and out of control. Many political, economic, and societal problems attempt to weigh down our spirit so heavily that some despondently give up after being deceptively led to believe there is no real hope for anything getting better. And despite 24-hour news cycles with constant information flooding our eyes and ears with much white noise, TV’s talking heads really have nothing meaningful to offer.

Here it is, folks, and it is bad news: Obama’s Gun Ban List is Out... .....

Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress). It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady’s plan to introduce shortly.

I have an outline of the Brady’s current plans and targets of opportunity. It’s horrific. They’re going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They’ve made little mention of criminals.

Did massive gun sales crash the FBI’s background checking system? .....

 That decline was not seen in one very specific area of the retail business, gun sales. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), gun sales — based on Black Friday background checks — set a new record, jumping by 20%. The surge in gun sales was so great that many retailers reported extended wait times in order to get applications processed by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

A new single-day record for point-of-sale background checks was established on Black Friday, November 23, when 154,873 were conducted by the FBI.

US guns sales soar after Barack Obama's re-election....

Owners of guns have been stocking up because they are concerned about a potential tightening of regulations on assault weapons in the president's second term.

In October the number of background checks on people applying to buy guns, an indicator of future sales, increased by 18.4 per cent.

Bloomberg Wouldn't Let Guard Into Brooklyn Over Their Possession of Guns.....

And what does he think the word "Guard" means....?!?!? We're in for ALOT more of this if the election goes South Tuesday!!!

But at least as of Thursday, according to Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, as reported by Eli Rosenburg at the the Brooklyn Paper, which calls itself the borough's "leading news media," the mayor has refused a request to allow the Guard into the borough. Based on resource deployment priorities, the Mayor's refusal could be justified. But wait until you see the actual reason Bloomberg gave for his refusal, one which you might think would have received more media attention by now (bolds are mine):
