Another Mass Murder
GW: It’s time to confiscate knives from the common people, that’s for sure. And, it will be worth it, if we can save just one life.
Here’s a mass murder you may not have heard of…

New Jersey Second Amendment Society Comments on Christie’s Veto of Gun Control Legislation
Yesterday afternoon, Governor Christie vetoed the three most offensive gun ownership restrictions passed by the New Jersey Senate and Assembly this year. These bills were deemed the “centerpiece” of what Senate President Steve Sweeney referred to as his “National Model”. The Governor’s veto of these bills is a monumental victory for law-abiding firearms owners in the State of New Jersey. Thankfully, Governor Christie realized this type of legislation is not appropriate for New Jersey or as a model for the rest of the country. Read more
Lawmakers Ignore Constituents but not the Boot
The following was written by Lawrence Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), relative to Colorado with State Senate Majority leader John Morse’s facing a recall election.
Like members of Congress, state legislators are elected to represent their constituents and vote on the laws that affect them. When legislators fail to represent the will and beliefs of their constituents and become beholden to outside influences, it is up to their constituents to fire them.
This is exactly what’s happening in Colorado with State Senate Majority leader John Morse facing a recall election starting on Aug. 20. Sen. Morse forgot about his constituents who elected him when he started taking his legislative orders from Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Campaign, hastily ushering through a series of anti-gun laws in the wake of the tragedies in Aurora and Newtown.

More California Gun Control
California’s Public Safety Committee will hear bills already passed by the state Senate that would ban all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, make it a crime to leave a gun unlocked when you’re out of the house and require those who own high-capacity magazines to get rid of them. More of the same from California here…
Democratic anti-gun ‘guide’ urged using Trayvon Martin’s death to hit NRA, guns
The guide spells out how to talk about gun control and when to press the issue, the best time being in the wake of a publicized shooting.

GW: This is a good example from the Daily Times of how the “big lie” gains traction. Much like “working people” have become code words for union workers, it gets the uninformed fired up. Here’s how the informed are able to read between the lines.
Pelosi Urges Congress to Uphold Constitution by Passing Gun Control
Anti-gun U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently urged members of Congress to uphold their oath to “protect and defend” the Constitution by passing harsher gun control laws. Yes, Pelosi is proposing that Congress should support the Constitution by radically violating it. Such is the deconstructionist mindset of modern-day gun-control advocates. Read more
After DOJ Puts “Hold” on Zimmerman Evidence Buckeye Firearms Association Takes Action
Buckeye Firearms Foundation will raise funds to buy Zimmerman a new firearm, holster, flashlight, and anything else he needs…
DELAWARE, OH – According the Daily Mail, “The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial – including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer’s gun.”
“We find this action outrageous,” said Jim Irvine, President of Buckeye Firearms Foundation. “Whatever you think about the case, Mr. Zimmerman was tried in a court of law and found not guilty. And now all evidence should be returned to the rightful owners, including Mr. Zimmerman’s firearm. Read more
NRA Responds to Attacks on “Stand Your Ground” Laws
GW: We hear the rumblings from the uninformed and leaders like Eric Holder and Al Sharpton about the “stand-your-ground laws” and how dangerous they are. But, in Michigan, for example, we had a “duty-to-retreat” law in place before stand your ground was enacted. This meant that in your own home, if confronted by a bad guy, a homeowner was legally responsible to run and hide, rather than defend himself. If you want to talk about “senseless” and “dangerous conflict”, we should have started the conversation about this concept. And, we, and other states, did so already.
A few days after a jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was busy exploiting the trial outcome by attacking “stand?your?ground” self-defense laws. As reported by Fox News, during a speech at the NAACP’s annual convention, Holder said, “Separate and apart from the case that has drawn the nation’s attention, it’s time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods.”
In response to Holder’s remarks, NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox had this to say: “The attorney general fails to understand that self-defense is not a concept, it’s a fundamental human right. To send a message that legitimate self-defense is to blame is unconscionable, and demonstrates once again that this administration will exploit tragedies to push their political agenda.” Read more
