GUNSSAVELIVES.NET 6 Hours Ago Colorado School District Works Around Gun Laws, Hires Administrators as Armed Security to Protect Kids According to the DailyCaller.com, a small school district in Colorado, which is too small to afford a dedicated security guard, and too far from the closest law enforcement agency to reach them quickly, has worked around a ban on guns in schools by hiring it’s school administrators as armed security guards. The administrators will essentially be classified as working two jobs, their normal position and armed security guards, which are one of the exemptions allowed under CO law. A bill which would have allowed school districts to arm teachers (only if they wanted to) was killed by Democrats in the state legislature recently. This is is the same legislature which is likely going to  force hundreds if not thousands of manufacturing jobs out of the state  by banning standard capacity magazines.

STAR TRIBUNE 4 Hours Ago As gun control activists gather, senator takes weapons ban off table As gun-control advocates filled the Capitol rotunda on Monday, a senator holding gun hearings this week said he will not take up weapons and ammunition bans that the activists favor. "The outright banning of guns is a conversation that is more suited on the federal level," said Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in a statement. The Committee is holding hearings on gun-violence issues on Thursday and Friday, following hearings two weeks ago in the House. Latz said his hearings will focus on universal background checks that would close gaps in the current background-checks system. He said his committee will not hear proposals for a ban on assault weapons or on higher-capacity ammunition magazines. The House took up those issues as well as background checks. Meanwhile, gun-control advocates who were greatly outnumbered at hearings on

AMERICABLOG 4 Hours Ago How to apply the lessons of gay rights and immigration to gun control by John Aravosis Kerry Eleveld writes in Salon about the lessons that gun control advocates can learn from gay rights and immigration rights advocates. Kerry’s point is that both gay rights and immigration rights were once considered “the third rail of politics” – i.e., don’t touch ‘em, you’re gonna get burned if you help “those” people. But after a lot of pressure from activists who pushed both issues in the face of members of Congress, and particularly the President, politicians started doing to the right thing. Suddenly, Washington learned that these “dangerous” issues were not only not dangerous, but were actually electorally helpful. Here’s Kerry Eleveld: Of course in 2008, after a parade of a couple of dozen states had banned same-sex marriage, the topic was still considered a political taboo even by many LGBT activists. Yet other gay issues fared much better with the public.

 NEWS BUSTERS 5 Hours Ago ABC and NBC Use Blood Soaked-Chicago to Push for Gun Control, Ignore Restrictive Laws by  Scott Whitlock All three network newscasts on Friday featured Chicago as an example of Barack Obama's call for more gun control. ABC and NBC ignored the inconvenient fact that Chicago  already has  some of the strictest gun control in the country. (It took a Supreme Court ruling to overturn the city's ban on handguns.) Only the  CBS Evening News mentioned this point. On the  NBC Nightly News , Lester Holt explained that the President traveled to Chicago "where dozens of children are victims of gun violence every year." Chuck Todd highlighted, "For years, it's the NRA that has used emotion to win big political battles. The president hopes the emotions of Newtown change the equation." He also noted that Chicago saw almost "nearly 500 gun shot-related murders in 2012." On  World News , Jon Karl promoted, "In Chica

Monday, February 18th "Investing" Is Not "Spending" In a discussion over the impending sequestration, Obama's chief of staff Denis McDonough turned to tired, old Washington rhetoric in order to try and spin the liberal message. He told NBC's "Meet the Press" that "this isn't a spending fight for us. This is a fight about whether we're going to make the investments in middle class families in this country, in education, in science and technology, in food inspection, and those kinds of things." Don't be fooled. What is required in order to "in
