Three Indiana Mayors Defect from National Gun Control Group, “Mayors Against Illegal Guns”

"...Bloomberg created “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” as a front group to lobby Congress to oppose important pro-gun reforms and support new federal gun control restrictions. And some mayors have joined or been duped into joining this anti-gun Bloomberg crusade.

YOUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD! The mayors of Warsaw, Portland, and Tell City have dropped their membership from “Mayors Against Illegal Guns.”

Please contact your mayor today and thank them for listening to their constituents and disassociating themselves from Michael Bloomberg and his national gun control group. Contact information can be found below..." MORE

Gun Control Mainly About Control

...Radical individuals and groups seeking to destabilize the very and basic principals that our great country was based upon make a lot of very elegant noise while we sit back quietly and think that all of this stuff really means nothing to us. Unfortunately, many of these campaigners of “control” speak very eloquently, very loudly, and relentlessly. Couple that with the recruitment of many celebrities and Hollywood stars and you get a very believable group of control advocates, many of who do not see the whole picture or realize the eventual effect that the demonizing of our freedoms will have...

Gun Show Ban Passes Assembly, Returns to Senate for Final Vote in California

Last night, the Assembly passed Senate Bill 585 by a 41-28 vote. SB585 now returns to the Senate for concurrence.

THIS IS ABOUT LIMITING THE 'FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY' OF GUN OWNERS AND MUST BE FOUGHT. HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE THEY COME AFTER YOUR PRIVATE GUN CLUBS?

"...the Supreme Court maintains that it is imperative to protect the right to peaceful assembly, even for those with whose speech many may disagree, such as Ku Klux Klan (KKK) gatherings, which many perceive as hateful, ruling (in National Socialist Party v. Skokie, 1977) that "it is better to allow those who preach racial hatred to expend their venom in rhetoric rather than to be panicked into embarking on the dangerous course of permitting the government to decide what its citizens may say and hear."

In the Dead of Night, Connecticut Lawmakers Double Pistol and Hunting License Fees!

After negotiating down to a more modest 25% fee increase for pistol licenses and hunting licenses during the regular legislative session, Democratic leaders met behind closed doors working out a deal to jack the fees back up to the 100% increase originally proposed. Legislators then rubber-stamped the hikes as part of the larger budget in votes taking place in the wee hours of this morning.

These increases will do little to raise revenue but will deal a crushing blow to law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen. People who wish to exercise their Constitutional right to self protection will now have to pay exorbitant fees to do so and those without the means to pay the price will lose the right altogether. In this ailing economy, hunters will choose to stay home at a time when the deer population is exploding in Connecticut. Prospective hunters and those with limited incomes won’t take to the field, thus contributing to the demise of a cherished past-time handed down from generation to generation... MORE
