"Hoplophobia (fear of guns) costs lives. A unarmed individual is at greater risk from criminals and, yes, government tyranny, than an armed citizen. By the same token, an unarmed individual increases the risks of a successful violent attack against their family. And by enabling civilian disarmament, unarmed citizens put other individuals, families and society in general at risk. I�m not saying that everyone must have a gun. That would be tyranny as well. But I am saying that all Americans should try to understand guns: what they can and cannot do. How it feels to fire one . . ." ... |

"The shooting at Sandy Hook ... has once again thrust the Second Amendment into the spotlight. Supporters of the Amendment claim they have a constitutional or Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Opponents counter that even if that were the case, the federal government was granted the general power to place restraints on the right. Both of these assertions are based on a misconception concerning the intent of the document known as the Bill of Rights."
"When the Bill of Rights was submitted to the individual States for ratification, it was prefaced with a preamble ... As stated in the preamble, the purpose of the Amendments was to prevent the federal government from 'misconstruing or abusing its powers.' ..." ... |

"Who isn�t sickened by the moral decay and heinous acts of violence across our country?"
"My heart and prayers continue to go out to victims everywhere.
But do gun bans � such as the one proposed this past week by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., which would outlaw 120 specific firearms � curb violent crime?"
"Not according to a recent Fox News investigation titled 'Assault-weapons ban no guarantee mass shootings would decrease, data shows.' The report concluded, 'Data published earlier this year showed that while the (Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which was signed by President Bill Clinton) was in place, from 1994 to 2004, the number of mass shootings actually rose slightly during that period.'" ... |

"So far, most of the gun control talk has been around reducing the number of semi-automatic rifles and reducing magazine capacities."
"To those of us who have studied the gun control measures put into place over the last 100 years it is obvious that the endgame is either a complete ban or extremely tough restrictions on the average citizen�s right to bear arms."
"We�ve been saying that a ban on semi automatic rifles is just a stepping stone to an eventual ban on handguns. After all, it will be very easy for politicians to point out that the semi auto rifle ban isn�t working to stop gun violence ..."

"Words have meaning. The meaning can be culture sensitive, time (era), context sensitive."
"A proposal of 12 amendments to the Constitution was forwarded on September 25, 1789 to the 13 state legislatures. Ten of those amendments were approved by the states as the Bill of Rights, ratified Dec. 15, 1791."
"In the late 1700s, if a group was thought to be 'well regulated' it meant well trained to do certain things, as might be expected say of a militia. It had nothing to do with specification of their personal firearms, edged weapons, or other adjuncts to their group functioning. It meant simply they met and were trained together, as a militia, in the use of their personally selected weapons, and how to do group tasks." ... |

In the first Congressional hearing on gun violence since the Connecticut school massacre, a top NRA official plans to tell lawmakers Wednesday that new weapons restrictions are not a "serious solution" to the problem.
Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, will be one of five witnesses at the hearing.
Submitter's comment: The last thing any politician wants to hear is that more laws are not the answer. If that were the case, politicians would be unemployed! |

"HB0977, Illinois� long-awaited concealed carry bill, has dropped. Click here to read it. The executive summary: HB0977 puts the Illinois State Police in charge of the permitting process and turns The Land of Lincoln into a 'shall issue' state. To wit: 'The Department shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the applicant would pose a danger to the applicant�s self, another, or public safety, or would use a firearm unlawfully, if granted a license to carry a concealed firearm under this Act.' Did Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel just throw up in his mouth a little? There�s no carve-out or exemption from the State permitting process for Cook County or Chicago . . ." ... |

"I strongly object to Rep. Joe Carr�s recent campaign to enact states� rights legislation to prevent enforcement of a potential federal ban on assault weapons and other measures to tighten gun regulations."
"The president�s proposals do not violate the Second Amendment or the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. They are based upon the delegated authority of the federal government to regulate interstate commerce and do not involve taking guns away from individuals. These amendments do not give the states a right to prevent federal officials from enforcing a ban on assault weapons. Such actions would violate the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution." ... |

"The US Supreme Court's decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago established that individuals have an enforceable Second Amendment right to possess firearms � including handguns � for self-defense, and that this right is protected against infringement by states and municipalities as well as the federal government."
"The facts of Heller involved possession of a handgun within the home. Does the right to keep and bear arms extend outside the home? To many, merely asking that question seems preposterous. When the Second Amendment was adopted, the founding generation had just fought a war of independence using their own weapons, and it was fought not in their parlors but up and down a continent. ..." ... |

"After reading both the position of President Obama�s task force and the gun lobby and Second Amendment supporters, it seems both sides have overlooked a simple, yet effective way to reduce the threat of gun violence in schools and other public places. In many situations, it has been found that a minor � or someone living in the home of parents � has brought the parent�s weapon to school. Sometimes it�s a child bringing a gun in a backpack to show and tell in elementary school; sometimes it�s a teenager who is being bullied at high school; and sometimes it�s a mentally disturbed young adult still living at home with parents." ... |

He told me, �Our store sales have been $100,000 a day since the Newtown shooting.� On a normal business day, his sales hover around the $10,000 mark, so what we�re witnessing here is a 1000% increase in gun sales." ... |
