GUNSSAVELIVES.NET 4 Hours Ago Magpul’s Open Letter to CO Lawmakers – Pass Gun Control, We Leave & Take Our Jobs With Us Magpul, the maker of one of the most popular AR-15 magazines, the PMAG, along with other AR-15 accessories has posted an open letter to their customers and Colorado lawmakers. The company basically says if CO passes a proposed law that would ban magazines over 10 rounds in capacity, they would be forced to move their operation to another state in order to stay in operation. In doing so the company would be taking their tax dollars and hundreds if not thousands of jobs with them (once you take sub-contractors into account). Bravo Magpul, bravo. They join several companies who have taken a stand recently. This includes LaRue Tactical, who recently announced they would no longer sell rifles to state and local agencies that don’t allow citizens to own those same rifles. Here is the full letter form Magpul, as posted on their Facebook page: “In addition to...

WEASELZIPPERS.US 5 Hours Ago Bitter Clingers Rejoice! White House Sending Joe Biden To Rural America To Push Gun Control… Won’t they be too busy clinging to their guns and religion to attend? PHILADELPHIA – Vice President Biden delivered a message for rural America: He’s coming to talk about gun violence. “I’m coming, I’m coming,” Biden said here after saying he’d read a skeptical comment in the local newspaper about the White House outreach to rural areas. “The one thing I want to make clear is this is, this message of rational gun safety is a message that will be embraced by rural communities as well as urban communities simply because it makes sense. But we cannot wait. The still voices of those children require us, requires us to speak now.”

SALON.COM 3 Hours Ago NRA dismisses push for gun control as the “Connecticut effect” by Jillian Rayfield Topics: Video, NRA, Gun Control, Gun Violence, Lobbyists, Newtown school shooting, Politics News A lobbyist for the NRA dismissed the push for tougher gun control as part of the “Connecticut effect,” which will delay the gun lobby’s agenda until it can “go through the process.” Bob Welch, a lobbyist who represents the Wisconsin NRA, told the Wisconsin’s NRA State Association: “We have a strong agenda coming up for next year, but of course a lot of that’s going to be sort of delayed as the ‘Connecticut effect’ has to sort of go through the process.” He continued: What’s even more telling is the people who don’t like guns pretty much realize that they can’t do a thing unless they talk to us. After Connecticut, I had one of the leading Democrats in the legislature—he was with us most of the time, not all the time—he came to me and said, ‘Bob, I got all these people in my ...

BREITBART.COM 2 Hours Ago Biden: 'Legitimate News Media' Will Help In Push For Gun Control by AWR Hawkins11 Feb 2013, 2:50 PM PDTpost a comment In doing this, he clearly implied that some media outlets are legitimate and some aren't. And he based this on those who carry water for the administration vs. those that don't. He came to this point at the news conference on gun violence by decrying news stories that highlight Democrat efforts to take guns. He said such stories were "a bunch of malarkey." He then continued: The social media that exists out there, the tragedies that have occurred, the Supreme Court decision affirming that it's an individual right to bear arms--all give a lie to the argument that what we're trying to do is somehow unconstitutional, or somehow goes after the legitimate right to keep and bear arms. He said he knew people would continue to "misrepresent" the positions taken by he and Obama, but that "leg...

TPMDC 3 Hours Ago Ted Nugent’s SOTU Invite Is The Best News Gun Control Advocates Have Heard All Week by Evan McMorris-Santoro The gun rights community may not be doing itself any favors by giving Ted Nugent a seat at the State of the Union speech Tuesday night. The outspoken rocker will be a guest of Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), one of the most vocal opponents of new gun control legislation following the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. But proponents of things like creating universal background checks and other gun regulations predicted on Monday that Nugent’s appearance will be a boon to their side and make it harder for gun rights advocates to make their case. “If there’s better evidence that the NRA’s Washington lobbyists have lost their way, I can’t think of it,” Mark Glaze, director of New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, told TPM Monday. “They keep finding new ways to alienate their own members, which is a strange way to run a membership orga...

NATIONAL REVIEW 3 Hours Ago Criminal Organizations and Gun Control by Michael Walsh Charlie: It’s no coincidence that two of the most prominent states with the toughest gun laws are also two of the states most deeply affected by the rise of organized crime in the first half of the 20th century and the cooperative political arrangements made between the street criminals and the Democratic party machines: Illinois and New York. As I wrote here, the Democrats — in their big-city manifestations, whence they derive their electoral power — are in effect a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. And, like any gangland racket, they seek to hinder competition by any means necessary. New York City’s ultra-unconstitutional Sullivan Law was a gift to the Irish racketeers who dominated NYC politics for decades, in the period between the fall of Boss Tweed and the end of the Tammany Machine, which sputtered on into the 1950s, although a shadow of itself by then. Here’s a bit ...

GAWKER 2 Hours Ago Gabrielle Giffords’ Gun Control Super PAC Releases its First Ad, Starring Her by Robert Kessler Robert Kessler Americans for Responsible Solutions, the Super PAC founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, has released its first ad called "Let's Get This Done." The ad is narrated by Giffords, who is seen standing by her husband; it also shows pictures of memorials from several recent mass shootings, including the one that nearly killed Giffords. The copy of the ad itself is fairly short: We have a problem, where we shop, where we pray, where our children go to school. But there are solutions we can agree on. Even gun owners like us. Take it from me, Congress must act. Let's get this done. The ad will apparently be shown in the Washington, D.C. television market both before and after President Obama issues the State of the Union Tuesday night. It will also be playing in markets where constituents...
