Gun Control Debate: Loopholes, Part II - There Is No “Online Gun Store Loophole”

 ATOMIKTIGER.BLOGSPOT.COM 7 Hours Ago Gun Control Debate: Loopholes, Part II - There Is No "Online Gun Store Loophole" by  Matt MacBradaigh Liberals have now taken the "gun show loophole" argument into cyberspace. But despite their claims, there is no "online gun store loophole" for gun purchases. As  I wrote previously , despite the failures of any gun legislation to move forward — even the Manchin-Toomey amendment, hailed as a "compromise" that largely addressed expanding background checks, among other provisions — gun control advocates vowed the fight for gun control is not over. We should expect to see many of the recent arguments resurface later this year. Along with the so-called "gun show loophole"  exposed here as a fraud , we can also expect to see the so-called "online loophole" again. It is a myth to claim there is an "online loophole." This myth is designed to sound scary to those who are ignorant of what...

Sen. Barbara Boxer Allows Terrorism To Dictate Second Amendment Rights

 ATOMIKTIGER.BLOGSPOT.COM 7 Hours Ago Sen. Barbara Boxer Allows Terrorism To Dictate Second Amendment Rights by  Matt MacBradaigh The inane arguments used by the left to oppose firearms freedom cannot stand on logic, and belie Democrats' claims that they support the Second Amendment rights. In May, the  Associated Press reported  that the Senate rejected an effort to expand the use of firearms on some of the United States' most frequently visited federal lands, controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed amendment, backed by the National Rifle Association, would have allowed use of firearms for any legal purpose on lands managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees nearly 12 million acres abounding in lakes, rivers, campsites and hiking trails. These lands are visited by 370 million people annually, more than visit the property of any other federal agency. About 80 percent of these lands are within 50 miles of urban areas, making them accessible...

Conservatives oppose Harry Reid just because he’s white

 CONSERVATIVEINTEL.COM 4 Hours Ago Conservatives oppose Harry Reid just because he's white by  David Freddoso Harry Reid  sets out to cast his net of slander  once again: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Friday that he hopes Republicans are opposing President Barack Obama based on substance and not based on his race. "It has been obvious that they're doing everything they can to make him fail. I hope that…that's based on substance, not the fact that he's African American," he  told Nevada Public Radio , KNPR. Oh, gee, I hope Harry Reid didn't enrich his family with land deals. Of course, this isn't just about Reid or his habit of  spreading demonstrably false and defamatory rumors about people he doesn't agree with . This is about America's political conversation. It has devolved now into a bunch of white liberals using Obama's race as an excuse for his record. All dissent was once patriotic. All dissent is now racist. You...

Obama Says Insurance Will Be 'Significantly Cheaper' Under Obamacare, But That Isn't True

 THE WEEKLY STANDARD 4 Hours Ago Obama Says Insurance Will Be 'Significantly Cheaper' Under Obamacare, But That Isn't True by  John Mccormack At a White House press conference Friday afternoon, President Obama said that health insurance plans offered by Obamacare will be "significantly cheaper" than plans currently offered on the market, but a string of recent reports say that isn't true. "What happens on October 1, in 53 days, is for the remaining 15 percent of the population that doesn't have health insurance, they're going to be able to go on a website or call up a call center and sign up for affordable, quality health insurance at a significantly cheaper rate than what they can get right now on the individual market," Obama said on Friday. But, as  CNN reported  this week, rates will be 35 percent higher in Florida and 41 percent higher in Ohio. Obamacare is also projected to drive up health care costs for many people currently on employe...

Black senator blasts Harry Reid for suggesting Republicans are racist

 DAILYCALLER.COM 4 Hours Ago Black senator blasts Harry Reid for suggesting Republicans are racist by  Alex Pappas The only black lawmaker in the U.S. Senate blasted Senate majority leader Harry Reid on Friday for comments suggesting Republican opposition to President Barack Obama is the result of racism. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican, called on the Nevada Democrat to apologize after saying during a radio interview on Friday that he hopes Republican opposition to Obama is "based on substance and not the fact that he's African-American." "I am sincerely disappointed by continued attempts to divide the American people by playing to the lowest common denominator," Scott said. "Instead of engaging in serious debate about the failed policies of this administration – from the ever-increasing burdens created by the national health care reform plan to the tax and spend approach to economic recovery, along with countless others – Democrats are once aga...

Black Teen Who Strangled 12 Year-Old White Girl, Dumped Body in Garbage, Gets Only 17 Years

 PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 2 Hours Ago Black Teen Who Strangled 12 Year-Old White Girl, Dumped Body in Garbage, Gets Only 17 Years Aug 9, 2013 Toro520 Excerpted from The  South Jersey Times: Little more than 10 feet separated Justin Robinson from Autumn Pasquale's father in an open Gloucester County courtroom Wednesday morning when Robinson, now 16, pleaded guilty to choking the pre-teen to death in October. "He sat there and listened," said Doug Long, attorney and spokesman for Anthony Pasquale, Autumn's father.

Until Wednesday, all juvenile court proceedings in the murder case had been conducted behind locked courtroom doors. Donte Robinson's c...

It's Open Line Friday!

Friday, August 9, 2013 "People are pursuing happiness, but they're pursuing things that will never, ever make them happy, and they don't know that. They've got a distorted view of what will make them happy, what happiness is, and it's based on what they see on television."- Rush   Transcripts, Rush 24/7 Audio Now at RushLimbaugh.com: Our Culture Condones and Glorifies Depravity Under the Guise of Tolerance   If I Had an Out-of-Control Ego, I'd Think I Shamed Obama into Holding a Press Conference The Oprah Claims She Encountered Racism in ...

It's Vacation Time!

Friday, August 9th  Vacation Time! It's summer vacation time for the Obama Family. Our President is jetting off to Martha's Vineyard for the next eight days. The same man who rails against the 1% and has shutdown the White House for tours for average Americans is about to embark on a luxury vacation, staying at a $7.6 million estate. But before he leaves the American people to struggle under his economy, Obama wanted to make sure he got in the final word. He's holding his first solo news conference today since April 30th, only his third of the year. Let's pause for a moment to consider every...

Barack Obama Makes More Gaffes than George W. Bush and Sarah Palin Combined From the Rush Limbaugh Show August 08, 2013 Windows Media BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites. Here is Obama.  This guy makes more gaffes than George Bush and Sarah Palin combined and is never called on it. This is Obama struggling to remember the name of the wife of the vice president. OBAMA:  Keeping our military strong means keepin' our families strong.  Michelle and vice ... president... uh... uh... eh... The, uh... Joe Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, they've made this their mission. RUSH:  Folks, you let that be George W. Bush, you let that be Ronald Reagan, and the stories today are, "Is Alzheimer's setting in?  Do we have dementia?"  I'm not kidding. They would have psychiatrists and psychologists on TV, and they would be analyzing this, and they'd be looking for any indication that a declining mental capacity is taking place. That was Camp Pendle...
