FREEDOMOUTPOST.COM 3 Hours Ago Nothing Like Armed Terrorists In A State That Loves Gun Control by  Tim Brown It is reported that two of the suspects in the Boston marathon bombing were in possession of 2 handguns and an "M4 carbine" and yet they were both residents of Massachusetts, a state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. On top of that we can look to the laws that Massachusetts legislators have imposed upon its citizens and see how difficult it is for law abiding citizens in Massachusetts to legally obtain firearms. Now if you are a liberal or some other form of Socialist, Communist or Utopian you would think this makes the state safer. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it became quite apparent this week that you don't have to have a gun in Massachusetts to be deadly and even those who are suspected of using bombs had firearms and neither of the Tsarvaev brothers had a state issued license to purchase a firearm, yet they had th

 THEHILL.COM 43 Minutes Ago 247 on terror watch list bought guns - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill by  Joe Picard Tweet Hundreds of people on the FBI's Terrorist Watch List were cleared to purchase firearms in 2010, prompting at least one lawmaker and Capitol Hill gun-reformer to reiterate a call for tougher rules. Of the 272 individuals on the Terrorist Watch List who attempted to buy firearms last year, 247 were allowed to make the purchase, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported Wednesday. "There is no basis to automatically prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives because they appear on the terrorist watch list" The findings were not overlooked by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), who slammed the current law as too lenient and urged Congress to close what gun reformers call the "terror gap." "It defies common sense that people on the terror watch list continue to be cleared to buy w

Rand Paul joined Sean in the show's final hour and explained hasn't changed his position against domestic drones, but admitted that a recent interview he gave "left the mistaken impression" he had done an about face.

 POST - GAZETTE 5 Hours Ago Pittsburgh paramedics to donate marathon pay to Boston victims by  Liz Navratil Share with others: "As health care advocates, it only seemed natural to help." By Liz Navratil / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Pittsburgh paramedics plan to donate the money they earn while working at the Pittsburgh marathon on May 5 to a group helping victims of the Boston marathon bombings. The money will go to The One Fund Boston Inc., which was created by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino in the aftermath of the April 15 attacks that left three people dead and more than 260 wounded. "In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon tragedy on April 15, Pittsburgh EMS, as did everyone else, wanted to support and help those who had been affected by this senseless incident," Anthony Weinmann, president of the local chapter of the Fraternal Association of Professional Paramedics, said in a news release. "As health care advocates, it only se

 REASON MAGAZINE 4 Hours Ago Still Waiting for That Pro-Gun-Control Groundswell by  Jacob Sullum White HouseAfter the Senate gun control bill  died  last week,  The New York Times said "Democratic leadership aides promised that the effort could be revived if a public groundswell demanded it." Claiming support from nine out of 10 Americans,  President Obama  and former Rep.  Gabrielle Giffords  (D-Ariz.) angrily urged the public to rise up in righteous fury and demand action. The results of a  new poll  by the Pew Research Center can be summed up as a three-word reply to such hopes: not gonna happen. According to the survey, the share of Americans who reacted negatively to the Senate vote fell short of a majority, with 15 percent describing themselves as "angry" and 32 percent saying they were "disappointed." Not exactly a groundswell in favor of gun control. On the other side, 20 percent said they were "very happy" about the vote and 19 percent d

 THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP 3 Hours Ago Stacey Campfield Refuses to Apologize for Pressure Cooker Photo, Slams Gun Control Efforts as "Tasteless" Stacey Campfield is not about to apologize. The Republican State Senator posted a photo on his blog this week that featured a pressure cooker and the words "Assault Pressure Cooker (APC)" printed below it, a reference to the items that were used for bombs last Monday at the  Boston Marathon . "I think it's tasteless when Obama will drag everybody he can up to Capitol Hill and try to pass gun control" The post was titled "Here comes Feinstein again," a clear dig at gun control advocate Diane Feinstein, as Campfield sees hypocrisy in anyone criticizing the picture as inappropriate. "I think it's tasteless when Obama will drag everybody he can up to Capitol Hill and try to pass gun control,"  Campfield told  ABC News today. "I think that was classless and tasteless. I don't hear them c

 THEHILL.COM 1 Hour Ago Poll: Ayotte loses support over gun-control vote - The Hill's Ballot Box by  Alexandra Jaffe Tweet Sen. Kelly Ayotte (D-N.H.) has lost support due to her gun-control bill, according to a new poll, which could launch her to the top of target lists for pro-gun-control groups looking to sway votes on a future measure. According to the survey , from Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, 50 percent of respondents said her vote against the measure to expand background checks that failed in the Senate last week would make them less likely to support her for reelection. Ayotte joined most of her Republican colleagues in helping defeat the bill, as well as four Democratic senators. About a quarter each said her vote made them more likely to support her and that it made no difference in their support. The vote, unsurprisingly, hurt Ayotte most among Democrats, with 79 percent of Democrats saying it made them less likely to support her. Fifty percent of independents a

 AMERICANTHINKER.COM 17 Hours Ago Blog: Voter Fraud: Obama Failed to Qualify For Indiana Ballot? How Many Other States? It comes as no surprise to those who were paying attention that there was voter fraud to launch Obama into the Oval Office. During the 2008 election cycle, the evidence for voter fraud was abundant , but the majority of Americans did not see the evidence due to the typical mainstream media blackout on any news item that doesn't advance the Statist / Liberalism agenda. The evidence of  voter fraud in the 2012 election  is equally available and occurred in various states, but again, few heard the evidence from mainstream media. What is news is that Fox News (a mainstream outlet) has reported on the possibility that Obama used voter fraud to provide enough signatures to be on the Indiana ballot. In how many other states were illegal means applied? FoxNews reports  the following: "The trial is underway for a former Democratic official and a Board of Elections wor

 BREITBART.COM 9 Hours Ago The Gun Control Poll That Might Finally Shut the Media Up by  John Nolte by   John Nolte 24 Apr 2013, 6:36 AM PDT post a comment View Discussion Clutching these 90% polls in a kind of death-grip, the media spent day after day pushing President Obama and DC lawmakers to "cede to the will of the people!" Then the bill failed; then the media recriminations began, led mainly by CNN's Piers Morgan and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. Even in the wake of the most devastating terror attack on American soil since 2001, the shameless media still refused to shut up about guns. It was obvious their egos were bruised. So if it wasn't the outright demoagoguery coming from Morgan and Scarborough, it was shameless concern-trolling where the media claimed the GOP had committed electoral suicide with their choice to ignore the ninety-percent. Doom! Gloom! The end is nigh! Except it's not. A poll released by none other than the  Washington Post  Wednesday is
