"'Recently we've unearthed some sickening corruption in a nearby town and it's led to unlawful arrests and gun confiscations from two veterans that are also Oath Keepers,' a Friday Facebook message from James Franklin, Regional Director for Come and Take It Texas - West Texas Region, began. 'Over the past week this issue has gotten even more complicated as the police in the town refuse to file police reports about one of their residents making terroristic threats against our group's members.'"
"Franklin was referring to a local resident who opposes lawful open carry of long guns to the point of pledging to inflict harm on people he calls 'cowards.'" ... |

"A new study by Northeastern University researchers of mass-murder trends shakes up a slew of liberal shibboleths regarding guns, background checks and the frequency of attacks. Indeed, findings by James Alan Fox, a criminologist, and graduate student Monica J. DeLateur tear asunder the 'solutions' of anti-gun zealots."

"The main concept of the Second Amendment is not simply the right to bear arms. It is to sharpen our civilized awareness of the implications of self-defense � nature�s fight or flight mechanism for primal survival."
"The real thrust of the Second Amendment reveals the right to self-defense, ostensibly by bearing arms, as the protector of our right to peace. The true hope of the Second Amendment is that peace will be the guarantor of self-defense." ... |

"There�s no way the Founding Fathers could have envisioned what features firearms would eventually have � multi-round magazines, semi-automatic or fully automatic firing mechanisms � and the potential dangers associated with those and other features."
"Because of that, I�d suggest we maintain the right to keep and bear arms but limit the possession of them to the ones that were in existence when the Second Amendment was written in 1791. That is, muzzle-loading, black-powder flintlocks." ... |

Conway and his Smart Tech Foundation last week unveiled some early designs for high-tech guns that only work in the hands of their owners, and which will notify those owners when someone has moved them."

"A committee of the Missouri State Senate voted overwhelmingly last week for a bill aimed at making it a state crime for federal officials to enforce federal gun laws."
"There�s a name for this kind of thing � it�s called 'nullification' � and it�s long been a popular cause among conservative extremists, especially in the South. But it won�t soon become a statute in Missouri, where the governor vetoed a similar measure last year."
"Besides, this nonsense seems to be based on a misreading of the Second Amendment, the rights under which are not as broad as some people would like to think. And don�t just take my word for it." ...
-------
Submitter's Note: Yep, the doctrine of nullification (and "interposition", but that's something for another article) were first championed (legislatively) by Virginia and Kentucky, in response to the (now viewed as grossly unconstitutional) Alien and Sedition Acts. However the concept later became popular later in the North and Midwest when fighting the various federal Fugitive Slave Acts. |

... "This is your standard reactionary nonsense, guaranteed to have no effect in a state that already boasts some of the strongest gun-control laws in the United States and designed primarily to make people who know nothing about firearms feel better about themselves. But it is what comes next that should horrify one and all � regardless of their politics:""It also said Massachusetts should require anyone wanting to purchase a hunting rifle or a shotgun to pass those standards of suitability. That could allow local police chiefs to deny gun purchases to people who have been arrested, but not convicted, of a crime." ... |

The attacker of the school children in Newtown was a registered Democrat and hated Christians." ... |

"A committee of the Missouri State Senate voted overwhelmingly last week for a bill aimed at making it a state crime for federal officials to enforce federal gun laws."
"The Second Amendment. Made in the USA. Jobs for Georgia. These are three of my favorite things."
"Thanks to local firearms manufacturer Daniel Defense, all three of these come together right here in the Savannah area. And with the recent news that Daniel Defense is expanding their Bryan County facility by adding 120 new jobs, there is even more to be happy about."
