NRAILA.ORG 8 Hours Ago Tennessee: Senate Committee to Consider Permit Confidentiality Legislation Tomorrow Tomorrow, March 26 at 1:00 p.m., the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider Senate Bill 108, legislation to keep confidential all information on those residents who possess a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit (HCP). This privacy protection legislation recently passed in the Tennessee House of Representatives by an overwhelming 84 to 10 vote. Senate Bill 108 would make confidential, and not open for public inspection, all information pertaining to a handgun carry permit application or renewal application and the status of a handgun carry permit. Tennesseans deserve the same protections that residents in 36 other states already enjoy due to Right-to-Carry confidentiality laws in place. The privacy of handgun carry permit holders’ information is essential for the protection of law-abiding gun owners in the Volunteer State. Recently, there have been several instances of anti...

CANADAFREEPRESS.COM 1 Day Ago Rasmussen poll confirms Americans fear Obama gun control agenda Government will tighten restrictions on gun ownership. Obama-Pelosi agenda to gun control BELLEVUE, WA – A new Rasmussen poll reveals that 57 percent of American citizens believe gun sales are up over the past several months because of widespread fears that the government will tighten restrictions on gun ownership. “The poll results confirm what we’ve been saying,” noted Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “American citizens are fearful that the Obama administration and a Democrat-controlled Congress will pass new laws to further erode the individual right to own firearms. This concern was further enhanced by yesterday’s ruling in Minnesota that far left anti-gunner Al Franken should be seated as a U.S. Senator representing that state, giving Democrats a 60-member majority.” The Rasmussen telephone survey found that only 23 percent of...

NATURAL NEWS 21 Hours Ago Yes, Hitler really did take the guns from Jews before throwing them into concentration camps (or gas chambers) (NaturalNews) They say those who learn nothing from history are doomed to repeat it, but then again, sometimes repeating history is exactly the point, as longtime anti-gun Sen. Dianne Feinstein's new "assault weapons ban" planned legislation for early next year proves. Feinstein, a California Democrat, was instrumental in enacting a similar piece of legislation in 1994; with the help of President Clinton and Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress, that ban lasted a decade before being allowed to expire by a Republican-controlled Congress in 2004. But her current measure would go much further and, in many ways, actually mirrors anti-gun measures enacted nearly 75 years ago by Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, in a bid to disarm a particular ethnic group he loathed. This is gun control redux Prior to 1938, when Hitler's ne...

BLOGS.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK 13 Hours Ago One hundred days after Sandy Hook, five reasons why US gun control will fail by Tim Wigmore It's now more than 100 days since the Sandy Hook shooting at an elementary school in Newton, Connecticut. The families of the victims have argued passionately for increased gun control, which has more support among the American public than for decades. Yet US gun laws may barely be changed by Sandy Hook at all. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put a series of gun-related bills onto the legislative calendar, which will be addressed after Congress’s two-week Easter break. It is on these that prospects for gun control rest – and they're not very good. Already, it is certain that an assaults weapon ban will not pass, with Reid saying that fewer than 40 Senators supported it. The debate has now moved onto a universal background check system, stricter federal laws on gun trafficking and provisions to improve school safety. The most impor...

MINUTEMENNEWS.COM 9 Hours Ago Obama To Hit The Trail On A Mission To Revive Gun Control Fight President Barack Obama is ready to hit the road on a new campaign-style public relations trip, hoping to breathe new life into the push for stronger gun control laws. With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid planning to bring a scaled back package of gun legislation to the Senate floor early next month, the White House is hoping they can rebuild some of the momentum that has been lost in the months since the Newtown shootings. A White House official would not comment on the timing of more presidential travel, but said people should expect to see Obama travel outside DC to bolster his insistence that gun control measures “deserve a vote” in Congress. Obama will have help. Over the coming two-week congressional recess, representatives of the Brady Campaign and Mike Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns tell BuzzFeed they’re gearing up for major campaigns aimed at ginning up votes for ...

BREITBART.COM 1 Hour Ago NRA: Why Won't NBC News Cover Chicago's Refusal To Enforce Gun Laws by AWR Hawkins25 Mar 2013, 5:48 PM PDTpost a commentView Discussion In fact, LaPierre told David Gregory that Syracuse University's track data on enforcement of federal gun laws in 2012 shows that "out of 90 jurisdictions in the country, [Chicago] ranked 90th." This substantiates claims the NRA has been making for years. Namely, that the problem isn't a lack of gun laws but a lack of enforcement of existing gun laws. LaPierre then asked Gregory: Why doesn't NBC News start with, "Shocking news on Chicago. Of all the jurisdictions in the country Chicago is dead last on enforcement of federal gun laws?" Why doesn't the national press corps, with they're sitting there with Jay Carney and the President and the Vice President, why don't they say, "Why is Chicago dead last in enforcement of gun laws against gangs with guns, felons wi...

BREITBART.COM 41 Minutes Ago Paul, Cruz, Lee to Block Gun Control Legislation by Mike Flynn by Mike Flynn25 Mar 2013, 6:11 PM PDTpost a commentView Discussion Majority Leader Reid has orchestrated the gun legislation to provide maximum benefit to vulnerable Dem Senators in red states. He has stripped most meaningful measures out of the underlying bill, providing Democrats on opportunity to vote against amendments that contain the most sweeping gun control legislation. The action by Sens. Paul, Cruz and Lee call out the lie on this legislative sleight-of-hand. They have chosen to block any consideration of any gun control legislation. If the GOP caucus follows them, the Senate will never proceed to consideration of gun control legislation. If the action of Rand Paul, Cruz and Lee prevails, the Senate will never proceed to consideration of the bill or the underlying amendments. The action of these three provides a real opposition. Senators like McCain and Graham should move to t...

 INFOWARS.COM 6 Hours Ago Video: Hundreds Of DHS Armored Trucks On The Move? More footage of military vehicles being delivered surfaces online Steve Watson Infowars.com  Mar 25, 2013 Footage of hundreds of armored trucks, similar to ones reportedly purchased recently by the Department Of Homeland Security has appeared online, raising more questions over their intended use. The video was uploaded to YouTube last week by a user who stated that it was shot in the middle of the desert between Hackberry and Peach Springs, Arizona. It shows hundreds of military style trucks loaded on to a train, presumably in the process of being delivered domestically for law enforcement or military purposes. The video raises significant questions in the wake of reports that the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Janet Napolitano, recently  purchased around 2,700 MRAP trucks  that many believe are to be deployed to local law enforcement agencies around the...

 HOTAIR.COM 3 Hours Ago Mike Bloomberg: "I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom" posted at 4:41 pm on March 25, 2013 by Allahpundit Ben Howe's right  that the  rhetoric here  is more notable than the underlying sentiment. Most pols would never be this blunt in describing the civil-libertarian price of new regulations; they'd either dodge the subject or sell those regs in an Orwellian way as an  enhancement  of freedom . Not Bloomy. The combination of being term-limited, governing one of the bluest cities in America, and being worth $20 billion affords him a candor that lesser nannies can only dream of. Just imagine: On Friday, this guy was heard publicly lamenting the  growing threat of domestic drone surveillance  — and not without reason — before throwing up his hands and insisting there's nothing we can do to stop them. Really? He's willing to spend his political capital in office on dopey things like soda portion...

Starbucks CEO To Shareholders: Go Elsewhere If You Oppose Our Stance On Gays At Starbucks Corp.'s annual shareholder meeting in Seattle on March 20, a shareholder questioned Starbucks' public support of gay marriage. A resulting boycott of the coffee company was partly responsible for "disappointing" first-quarter numbers, the shareholder said. Schultz interrupted the shareholder, asking, "What is your question?" Schultz cited Starbucks' 38 percent annual return on shareholder value and suggested that the shareholder could always sell his shares.

GUNOWNERS.ORG 2 Hours Ago Sen. Reid Beefs up "Base Bill" to Destroy Gun Ownership Monday, 25 March 2013 18:23 Written by Gun Owners of America We now know a lot more about what's going to happen with gun control legislation than we did a few days ago. First, the number of the bill we are fighting is S. 649. Harry Reid introduced it on Thursday and brought it directly onto the Senate calendar. This means the bill can now come up at any time — probably soon after the Easter recess is over. Second, the bill is a lot worse than even we anticipated. We expected it to contain the Veterans Gun Ban, which would mean that you would sell, gift, or raffle a gun in America at the risk of a 15-year prison sentence because of something you didn't know about the veteran/buyer. But, surprisingly to us, the Far Left has convinced Reid to include the original Schumer version of the Universal Registry Bill. This would ban private sales of firearms, unless purchasers first ...

 NEWS BUSTERS 2 Hours Ago WashTimes Writer: Bloomberg's New 'Responsible' Gun Control Ad Features Irresponsible Handling of Shotgun by  Ken Shepherd While the liberal news media have been trumpeting  Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new $12-million ad buy  as an attempt to push federal gun control legislation, a glaring irony of one such ad is being ignored by the media: an actor in a Mayors Against Illegal Guns ad entitled "Responsible" is handling a shotgun in an irresponsible manner, violating three cardinal rules of gun safety. Washington Times senior opinion editor and gun aficionado  Emily Miller  explains (emphases mine): Story Continues Below Ad ↓ Mr. Bloomberg's organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, produced two ads featuring a man holding a shotgun, wearing plaid flannel with a camouflage cap and sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck. While a child swings on a tire in the background, the man says, "I support comprehensive background checks...

FIRE ANDREA MITCHELL! 2 Hours Ago Outdoor Channel moving all production out of Colorado because of gun control First Magpul, now Outdoor Channel. The leftists who imposed their gun grabbing legislation have yet another black mark. Outdoor Channel, which had four series in product, and many others in development is pulling out of fascist Colorado. In a letter from Outdoor Channel executive producer Michael Bane to State Senator Steven King, he mentioned the gun grab laws signed by Hickenlooper as a reason for pulling out of Colorado. This will cost the state jobs, and at least a million dollars in revenue. Way to go Colorado! Keep voting Democrat! I met you yesterday after the so-called “public hearings” on the antigun bills; as I mentioned, I am an Executive Producer for OUTDOOR CHANNEL. I currently have four series in production, included GUN STORIES, the top show on OC, with several additional series in development. My series focus on guns, hunting, shooting and the outdoors.

Monday, March 25th Obama's Skewed Moral Compass The situation in the Middle East is unraveling rapidly, and this is just on the heels of the Anointed One's trip to the region. The civil unrest in Syria is escalating. Where does the Anointed One stand in this conflict? It's hard to tell, as his leading-from- behind strategy has some questioning whether Obama will stand firm in his promise for action if Syria crosses the "red line." If Obama does not stand firm on his "red line" in Syria, this will just add fuel to the fire for our enemies who no longer take us seriously. We sw...
