It's Open Line Friday!

Friday, March 8, 2013 "My theory about low-information voters is that most of the low-information people out there do not think of themselves that way.  They think they know everything. They think they're up to speed and they've got all the answers.  They think that what they know is all there is to know." -Rush   Watch It!  Rush the TV Show Clip from 1995   Transcripts, Rush 24/7 Audio Now at RushLimbaugh.com: Amazing How Things Never Change Low-Information Outreach is Working Rand's Stand Shakes Up Washington ...

Hope on the Horizon

Friday, March 8th  Hope on the Horizon If you’re a conservative you’ve had a great week. First, we saw the President’s BS sequestration hoax has fallen apart and we’ve seen Senator Paul hold up the Constitution. This week we even saw Senator Mitch McConnell stand in to help Senator Paul during his excellent filibuster. I’m hopeful that conservatives can gain some momentum because it’s actions like this week’s filibuster that gives me hope. We need bold solutions. We need real leadership, we need adult answers to serious problems and we need hope. What I’m see...

7 gun control bills up for second reading; Colorado Senate will likely debate late into the night

THEDENVERCHANNEL.COM 8 Hours Ago 7 gun control bills up for second reading; Colorado Senate will likely debate late into the night DENVER - The Colorado Senate will debate seven pivotal gun control bills Friday. Democrats in the Senate are attempting to move forward with the proposals for stricter gun control, including more background checks, a limit on the size of ammunition magazines, and an end to concealed weapons on college campuses. State Senate committees advanced the gun bills on Monday on party-line votes, and now they are up for a second reading. The Senate convenes at 9 a.m. Friday and is expected to debate the measure late into the night. Protestors are expected to be at the capitol for most of the day. The debate will serve as a testing ground to see how far the nation will proceed with gun control laws in light of recent mass shootings in an Aurora movie theater and at a Connecticut elementary school. Gun rights advocates strongly oppose the measures. Demo...

New Study Finds Firearms Laws Do Nothing to Prevent Homicides

POWER LINE 21 Hours Ago New Study Finds Firearms Laws Do Nothing to Prevent Homicides by John Hinderaker That’s the headline you should be seeing, but won’t. Instead, you will see headlines like this one, on CNN: “Study links gun laws and lower gun mortality.” Or this one, from the Chicago Tribune: “States with strict gun laws found to have fewer shooting deaths.” The study they are talking about was conducted by Dr. Eric Fleegler of Boston and published in JAMA Internal Medicine. You can read it here. Dr. Fleegler is an anti-gun activist who reportedly has signed a petition calling on the federal government to enact stricter gun control measures. His study, one surmises, was timed to try to influence the current Congressional debate over gun control. But what does it actually show? Fleegler classified the 50 states according to how many gun laws they have. Using an alternative measure, he classified them according to the effectiveness of their gun laws as rated by the Brady C...

Gun Control Democrat: If 10 Rounds Isn't Enough, 'You're Probably Not Good Enough to Use 30 Rounds

BREITBART.COM 8 Hours Ago Gun Control Dem: If 10 Rounds Isn't Enough, 'You're Probably Not Good Enough to Use 30 Rounds' by AWR Hawkins8 Mar 2013, 8:04 AM PDTpost a comment Frosh said that if a Maryland woman had a 30 round magazine at home, "the odds of her hurting someone else in the household other than an invader are much higher." Wilson asked Frosh on what basis he made these statements and reminded him that women in and around the Washington DC area had complained of not being able to get the firepower necessary to stop would-be rapists. O'Connor asked Frosh why he wants to limit women to 10 rounds in a magazine for self defense. Frosh responded, "Hopefully she is well enough trained so that 10 rounds is enough." After O'Connor and Wilson pressed him on this even further, Frosh said: "If you don't feel comfortable with 10 rounds in your magazine, you're probably not good enough to have 30 rounds."

Teachers to Carry Guns in the Classroom

THEBLAZE.COM 2 Hours Ago South Dakota Gov. Signs Law Allowing Teachers to Carry Guns in the Classroom by Madeleine Morgenstern South Dakota Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard on Friday signed into law a bill to allow teachers to carry guns in the classroom. The education community stiffly opposed the measure, according the Rapid City Journal. With it, school boards can decide whether to adopt “sentinel programs” to arm teachers or other school personnel with guns. Though some states have provisions in their gun laws allowing teachers to carry firearms in the classroom, South Dakota’s law is believed to be the first in the nation to specifically allow it, according to the New York Times. Calls came to arm teachers after the shooting massacre at a Connecticut elementary school in December, with supporters saying doing so could prevent future tragedies. South Dakota school administrators and teachers said arming personnel could lead to accidental shootings and put weapons in the...

GUNS.COM 29 Minutes Ago Top Bloomberg gun control lobbyist caught with big smile on his face at rifle range by Chris Callahan This is what a Bloomberg hired gun control lobbyist looks like shooting a DPMS .308 rifle with a 20-round magazine.

Bloomberg led Mayors Against Illegal Guns hired Eichberg this past January to help lobby the gun control proposals currently under consideration by the Colorado legislature.

What happens in Colorado, a western, politically moderate state that’s been affected by two major ...
