"In all the noise caused by the Obama administration's direct assault on the right of every person to keep and bear arms, the essence of the issue has been drowned out. The president and his big-government colleagues want you to believe that only the government can keep you free and safe, so to them, the essence of this debate is about obedience to law."
"To those who have killed innocents among us, obedience to law is the last of their thoughts. And to those who believe that the Constitution means what it says, the essence of this debate is not about the law; it is about personal liberty in a free society. It is the exercise of this particular personal liberty ... that the big-government crowd fears the most." ... |

"The New York Daily 'News' editorial staff has made no secret of its disdain for the Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms. After the Sandy Hook Elementary atrocity, though, that publication has lost all interest in maintaining even the thinnest pretense of journalistic objectivity, with every-gun related article (of which there have of course been a great many since Sandy Hook) featuring a 'coupon-style' petition to ban so-called 'assault weapons' and 'high capacity' (gun-hater code language for 11-round or larger) magazines." ... |

"Ernest Tews has written a letter to the editor of the Asbury Park [NJ] Press, demanding regulation of gun owners. Actually he seems to think that the Second Amendment makes such a demand. He starts out conventionally enough, quoting the Second Amendment and then making the usual plaint that�s it�s just so darned hard to understand. 'The Second Amendment says, 'A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.' The Second Amendment is frustratingly non-specific, but let�s look at it as a product of the time it was written.' I think part of Ernest�s confusion here . . ." ... |

"Even with a rifle as modular as an AR-15, there is still one big decision to be made. Namely, do you want to go the AR-15 route (with the smaller, intermediate 5.56 size magazine well) or the AR-10 route (with the full .308 size magazine well). That decision will dictate what uppers you can buy, what magazines you can use and a whole host of other things. But what if you didn�t have to make that decision? What if you could buy one rifle that used both AR-15 and AR-10 mags and upper receivers? That�s the whole idea behind the Colt LE901 16S . . ." ... |

He concludes: 'The only person responsible for your safety is you. Cops can�t always be there. Obama definitely can�t be there.

... "It�s madness to allow guns to be sold to felons with a history of gun violence or to the mentally ill. That�s why current law requires that no gun can be sold by a licensed gun dealer without a criminal background check. But millions of guns are sold by unlicensed sellers at gun shows and through websites with no background checks. We need to strengthen current law ... The few minutes it takes to complete a computerized check would save lives."
"The federal background check law has blocked more than 1.5 million illegal gun sales over the past 14 years. It works. The problem is that the law doesn�t apply to private sales, so the bad guys can avoid a background check and get any kind of gun, no questions asked." ... |
