Figuring the best way to press his civilian disarmament agenda is to go where he’s most comfortable, President Obama took his scary-rifles-are-bad message out on the equivalent of the campaign trail today. Where the skeet shooters live. In reassuringly blue Minnesota, he rehashed what have become standard gun-grabbing talking points like, “weapons of war have no place on the street,” and “our law enforcement officers should never be outgunned.” As if. But he also conceded that “we don’t have to agree on everything to agree that we have to do something,” perhaps an acknowledgment that the Assault Weapons Ban bills that have been introduced in the House and Senate have little to no chance of ever reaching his desk for signature. Look for him to press for more achievable, incremental measures like universal background checks and, possibly, magazine capacity limits.
Keep up the pressure. exhaust them and their resources over the small things and make it too painfull to go after the big things.
Keep winning court cases til they have no options left. I want to leave my grandkids a better America than I had.
Why doesn’t he come back home to Chicago and do one of these events in Englewood, Austin or Great Grand Crossing neighborhoods? Maybe for that one day there would be 0 shootings and 0 homicides. Doubt it would have much affect on the other violent crimes that last year number in the 10s of thousands.

From Prof. Butler Shaffer (Jan 8, 2013):
“It has been some 3-4 years since I last held my classic “election” on the first day of class in our law school. (The students – 2nd and 3rd year – don’t know who I am, and I hand out the ballots before doing or saying anything.) The candidates for office are Candidate A and Candidate B, each of whom is identified not by name, but by description of behavior and/or policies advocated. In the past, Candidate B receives – on the average – about 75% of the vote. Today – with 22 students voting – Candidate B received 20 votes [just under 91% of the vote] while Candidate A got 2 votes [just over 9%].
Oh, yes, for those who haven’t followed this exercise before – of which I have reported herein in the past – Candidate A is a composite of such Revolutionary War heroes as George Washington, John Hancock, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, etc.. Candidate B is Adolf Hitler.”

Lets go back to the thrilling days of yesteryear, to Selma Alabama in the 60’s. I’m taking a poll of white influxed citizens. Question, do you want racial segregation? Oh me, oh my what would the answer have been. // So now we have bigots trying to take away our rights by “numbers”? Take a flying F at a rolling donut, Randy
Gun control in places like NYS is a social norm , akin to Social Security and public education. Opposing gun control in a place like that is like saying you oppose public school;no matter that the facts back your stance, you’ll be standing alone just the same.
Why, no need for a gun with that hansom flag there good buddy, Randy
We had around 2,000 people show up in Sacramento on the 19th. It was good for moral, and it also started to bring people together to communicate. We are building our network so that as new legislation transpires we are able to get the word out quickly.
Mozeltov Nick!
Rallys are all about the visual. It shows we really exsist to the politicians and to the uninformed public. The bigger the turn out the better.
Holy $#!% was that good!! Bravo! Bravo!
BRAVO!
I prefer the people outgunning the Police In face they should have the SAME firepower to ensure a free society from the Obama Gestapo!
I’ve never understood the contention that crime guns come from out of state due to lax gun laws elsewhere. I wish I could go to another state to buy a handgun, particularly a number that are “off roster” here in California. If I can’t do it, how can anyone else? Unless they are buying them illegally or stealing them…in which case that other state’s gun laws are entirely irrelvant, right. Don’t they teach logic in schools any more? Or has that become irrelevant too?
Ahhh, yes…the “second hand smoke” argument. It works almost as well as the “its for the children” argument.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that while it is only $5 to TRANSFER an AOW, it is in fact still $200 to construct or manufacture one.
Hey guys in the blue states, knifecenter has some good deals. U may want to check them out when u lose ur rights. Voting for anti-second amendmant politicians and then calling them and expressing your views seems rather strange to me. Oh well, ur problem not mine
