"Thanks to the Brady Campaign's list of endorsements for the Nov. 7 elections, which almost exclusively went to Democrats, it is now clear that the Democrat Party's anti-gun philosophy really hasn't changed, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) said today."
"'For several years,' observed CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb, 'Democrats have been carefully crafting their rhetoric to conceal their anti-gun agenda. They have espoused 'support' for the Second Amendment and individual gun rights, but the anti- gun rights Brady Campaign's list of endorsements belies any pro- gun positions the party has professed.'" ... |

"Things look a lot better for the Second Amendment than they do for the Republican party. A race-by-race analysis of the Senate suggests that, while party control of the Senate could change, the Senate is very likely to retain a pro-gun working majority."
"A 50-seat tsunami in the House would result in a gain of over two dozen seats for anti-gun forces; the more realistic scenario is a total Democratic gain of 30 of less, with about half of the freshman Democrats being anti-gun. This would leave the House with a fairly comfortable pro-Second Amendment majority."
"In the governors� mansions, gun owners could even come out ahead on this election, if pro-Second Amendment candidates hold on in some close races ..." ... |

"Self-defense is a privilege that governments may choose to grant or withdraw. You have no human right to self-defense. If a government does not impose repressive restrictions on gun ownership�more severe than even the laws in New York City or Washington, D.C.�then that government is guilty of violating international human rights."

"We received the following email from a member, who had heard that Costco Wholesale warehouse clubs had banned firearms in their stores. Read the letter, and the response from Costco below. While JPFO agrees that Costco has the right to restrict firearm possession on their premises, we also believe that firearms supporters have the right to protest with their dollars, by not shopping at Costco."

"The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is challenging Democrat Darcy Burner, candidate for Washington State's 8th District, to repudiate her endorsement from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, on the grounds that she has claimed to be a pro-gun Democrat."
"'Early in the campaign, Darcy Burner indicated that she supports an individual citizen's right to keep and bear arms,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb. 'Now is her chance to prove it by telling the Brady Campaign to keep their endorsement. Otherwise, it is a clear signal to firearms owners in Washington's 8th Congressional District where she really stands on the issue of individual gun rights.'" ... |

"When November arrives in Wyoming, Republican electoral landslides are supposed to be as dependable as the cold west wind that screams down the Rocky Mountain front."
"But with less than a week to the election, Wyoming finds itself in the middle of perhaps the closest congressional race in a generation, with a well-funded Democrat � Gary Trauner � running roughly even with Rep. Barbara Cubin, a six-term incumbent ..." ...
"But Trauner isn't like the other Democrats who've tried to unseat Cubin. He generally supports Second Amendment rights � a popular stand in this gun-friendly state. He's a businessman who says reducing the national debt is a national security issue." ... |

"As somebody who experienced gun violence in New Bedford, I cannot understand how anyone who cares about our young people can support Kerry Healey."
"First, she said she would support the state's gun laws. Now she says she will take the power to issue gun licenses away from the local police chiefs and give that power to her own appointees."
"No wonder she received the endorsement of gun owners who want to weaken state gun laws."
"A couple of days ago, Deval Patrick was endorsed by the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence."
"He grew up in a tough Chicago neighborhood, so he knows how gangs operate. He has promised to hire more police to stop shipments of illegal weapons before AK-47s and worse stuff can reach our streets." ... |

"57-year old Marty Layman-Mendonca was hiking in Scotland in July when a man beat her with a steel pipe."
"34-year-old Colin Ross was scheduled to be sentenced today for attempted murder, but that hearing was postponed so doctors could further evaluate his mental status." ...

Submitter's Note: Good thing they banned guns in England (and occupied Scotland), this 57 year old female teacher was lucky to be killed with a metal pipe. No guns were involved. |
