On First Day, Democrats Propose Eight Anti-Gun Bills
With the left looking for its next big cause, Congressional Democrats have latched onto the Sandy Hook massacre as an opportunity to push gun control. Yesterday alone, eight new bills were introduced relating to gun control. Two conservative bills were introduced relating to ending “gun free zones” under federal law.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) led the way with four bills introduced. Her husband was shot to death in 1993 and her son was severely injured when Colin Ferguson, a mentally unstable black militant (he spent time in his apartment chanting, “all the black people killing all the white people”), shot up a Long Island commuter train.
She has been a longtime gun control advocate. In 1997, she tried to push a federal law that would have mandated trigger locks on all firearms. She introduced legislation that would have forced gun companies to produce firearms that were “child-resistant.” In 2007, she tried an “assault weapons” ban that would have targeted some 65 types of firearms.
The measures McCarthy introduced include:
• Significant restrictions on gun show transactions, which would in effect end gun shows;
• No online purchases of ammunition, and licensing of ammunition dealers, as well as reporting to the federal government all bulk ammunition purchases;
• Prohibition on the transfer, sale, or possession of ammunition clips beyond a certain size.Read the FULL STORY here:
On First Day, Democrats Propose Eight Anti-Gun Bills
This is a copy of the email I sent to Pres. Obama, Sen. Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Sessions (R-TX). I don’t just BLOG, I get involved and I let our elected officials know exactly what is on my mind. I don’t hang an anonymous BLOG out there; I put MY butt on the line, every day! I just hope the *R* behind these names doesn’t truly stand for RINO…
Sirs:
I realize that the job of a hard-core Liberal President is to make as much traction as possible any time some idiot goes off and uses a gun to kill people.
That is NOT the job of Conservative Senators and Congressmen.
After the *fiscal cliff* debacle, where Sen. Cornyn and Rep. Sessions gave in to the White House, I am seriously questioning their Conservatism, and I am not bashful in saying so. I only hope that in the coming battle over the Second Amendment and gun owners rights that Sen. Cornyn and Sen. Cruz will stand with the American gun owner, as well as sincerely hoping Rep. Sessions does the same.
Gentlemen, we have more than enough gun laws and restrictions as it stands, enforce the laws we have and take guns out of the hands of criminals and the insane. Don’t punish MILLIONS of gun owners because occasionally a CRAZY person slips through YOUR system of gun verifications.

My friends, make NO mistake, we are in for one hell of a fight, and we will need all of our elected officials on board with us in this effort. There is NO room for indecision, there is no room for bi-partisan, reach across the aisle *giving in* to the Democrats on this one.
If our elected officials, Senators and Congress members, are NOT of the RIGHT of this issue, they need to be on the OUTSIDE, looking in, as they are removed from public service and ostracized for the despicable cretins they really are.
Amen Brother, well stated.
The Second Amendment is less than thirty words and came before every other individual right except speech, religion and assembly. Friends, that is not by accident.
For decades, the courts have chipped away at many of the rights in the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments in the name of saving us from ourselves, public safety and community care-taking. So far, the SCOTUS has protected the Second Amendment, but a changing Court is huge threat. That is why all citizens must be vigilant in holding their legislators accountable.
When the Second Amendment is denuded by laws, court decisions and complacency, the rest of our individual rights will follow, and we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
And due to Mr Obama, the makeup of SCOTUS is about to change. . .

Link about The Brady Anti-Gun group has been removed, it was a FALSE story.
Love that letter Fred, we are in for a tough battle on this issue as is evidenced by the first day of legislation. We need Republicans to be united for once and we hold everyone accountable who goes along with the Democrats on this.
Fred: This is going to be a nasty — QUICK- fight, (in the Congress) I’m afraid. I’m looking for another GOP sell-out.
My Congressman is a democrat — but — he is a CONSERVATIVE democrat. Yeah, they DO exist, a FEW, anyway.
I intend to write him about this. (He voted against Obama’s “fiscal cliff” boondoggle, the other night, while my REPUBLICAN Senator voted FOR it!)
I think we need to get ready to be bulldozed by all the anti-gun legislation they are going to deliberately throw at us — just as fast as they can — to overwhelm us. They plan to have this stuff settled by the end of this month! I mean,of course, they plan to have the legislation thru and signed into law by the end of the month.
I’m hammering away at them, but, sometimes it HAS felt very lonely out here. Believe me, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the constitution. It’s under assault — again — by the gun grabbers. If we lose this fight, the constitution will effectively be dead.

We are in for the fight of our lives.
This is the perfect time for a perfect fight, and they have public and media momentum on their side.
I cannot help but think there will be caving — on our actual foundational documents.
I see this going up to SCOTUS from some landmark case.
It’s only by the hair of our chin that Chicago was overturned.
