WASHINGTON EXAMINER 1 Hour Ago Chuck Schumer: NRA members have 'dumb' idea about the Second Amendment by William Kristol Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested that may members of the National Rifle Association reject his gun control proposals because they have “dumb” ideas about the meaning of the Second Amendment. “There are reasonable limitations,” Schumer said yesterday on Meet the Press. “And some in the pro gun movement and the NRA in many instances doesn’t believe in any limitation at all. That is not unconstitutional. That just is dumb.” It doesn’t take a constitutional scholar to see that, at a minimum, Schumer failed to take former President Bill Clinton’s recent advice about how to win the gun control debate. “Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them,” Clinton said on Saturday.

BREITBART.COM 7 Hours Ago Bulgarian Gun Control Laws Fail to Prevent Assassination Attempt by AWR Hawkins 21 Jan 2013, 7:57 AM PDT post a comment Fortunately, the gun misfired; reports also indicate that it may have been a gas pistol to begin with--if it had of fired, it would have shot a concussion blast in Dogan's direction instead of a bullet. After the gun failed to fire, Dogan hit the shooter's hand before he could attempt a second shot. Security personnel tackled the shooter as Dogan fled the stage. According to Radio Bulgaria, to own a gun in the country one must: 1. Pass safety training for gun use 2. Pass an exam 3. Consult a psychologist 4. Register the weapon These are the very kinds of gun control measures President Obama, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and other Democrats have been pushing as a means of ending gun crime in America. I wonder what Mr. Dogan would say about the effectiveness of such measures?
