With House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi jumping quickly into the post-Las Vegas blood fest to exploit Sunday�s mass shooting to push a political agenda, it should not take long for the gun prohibition lobby to push for a ban on so-called �bump stocks.�

Davies, purchased the company's assets and reorganized it as the New Haven Arms Company in April 1857.

I�m Not Arguing in Favor of the Second Amendment, the Second Amendment Is the Argument Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://libertyparkpress.com	There is 1 comment on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
Whenever a gun tragedy happens in the United States, it seems like there are two sides: One that argues against Second Amendment protections, and one that argues for them. It seems simple enough, but what�s missing is this: The Second Amendment is the argument.

I wrote about the Las Vegas murderer who shot into a crowd at a country music festival. The facts are not in. I said that anti-rights activists and politicians would call for our disarmament even before the facts were known. I reminded you that being a disarmed citizen is dangerous. That is a fact, not speculation.

My statements anticipating the reaction of our political elites are closer to certainties than predictions. I�m not willing to wait a �respectful interval� while I am condemned by political elites. I will not sit in silence.

You shouldn�t either.

As the House Majority Whip, Scalise is one of the top leaders in Congress who can count on armed bodyguards for protection. Scalise credits his security team with saving his life in June, by killing the gunman who attacked him at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia. That�s one reason Scalise says he�s against any kind of new legislation that would limit a person�s ability to carry a gun.

Joe Scarborough isn�t Running �For a While,� but Here�s His Gun-Control Stump Speech Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://libertyparkpress.com	There is 1 comment on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
Joe Scarborough says he isn't running for president or any other office. �Well, not for a while,� he told TVNewser in July. That's not a very definitive statement. And if the former Republican congressman were to get back on the campaign trail, his stump speech about gun control would probably sound a lot like what he said Tuesday on his MSNBC show, �Morning Joe.�

In the wake of mass shootings, the conversation often revolves around restricting access to firearms. Here in North Dakota, many lawmakers say the issue is not the guns themselves, rather the person pulling the trigger. �North Dakota is very much in favor of protecting the second amendment� said Rep. Rick Becker, R-Bismarck, �That's going to be unchanged, because we can�t change the fact that mental illness exists, and will continue to exist. We can�t change the fact that hateful ideologies exist.�

He survived three separate shootings himself in the 1990s, including a carjacking in which he was shot nine times. And Shelton�s father was slain in a drive-by shooting in 2001.

Fifteen years ago this week, �Bowling for Columbine� opened in theaters. At the time, there�d never really been an event like Columbine before. Those of us who worked on the film thought we should do it because of the availability of guns, and the phenomenon of guns ending up in the hands of the wrong people, guns in the hands of people who are afraid and take their fear to an exaggerated place. We were afraid it would become the new normal, and wanted to warn people that perhaps our country had taken a turn.

With a shower of gunfire from the 32nd floor of a hotel, the massacre in Las Vegas quickly became incomprehensible in its magnitude - even for someone like Mark Bryant, who works every day to catalog shootings across the country. "This one," he said, sighing - "this one is just not good. This is going to change a lot of things. Like 9/11 changed the way we did a lot of things, this has the potential to change a lot of the way we do things."
