Colorado Sheriff Arrested for Dealing Meth

Gun-control advocates have lost a mouthpiece.  At least he’s been given a “timeout” – bigtime.  A Colorado sheriff, Patrick Sullivan now sits in the jail named after – wait for it – himslelf!  Seems he got caught dealing meth.

Above the Law: Patrick Sullivan

For 18 years, his rights were above ours.  Sherrif Grayson Robinson had this statement on the case:

“The criminal investigation into this matter was initiated on Nov. 17, after several individuals presented credible information that provided probable cause to believe that Sullivan may be involved in the distribution and use of methamphetamine.”

Postal Service’s Right to Ban Guns Challenged

An interesting case is moving forward which challenges the U.S. Postal Service’s authority to ban guns in post offices.

Hmmm, and where did that term “going postal” originate?  If ever a law-abiding citizen may need protection, it’s on or near the post office.

SAF Files Suit Against California Over Gun Rights

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” claiming that the statute is “vague and ambiguous” in its definition of assault weapons, leading to the arrest of a California man on two different occasions.

SAF is joined in the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, by the CalGuns Foundation and Brendan John Richards, an honorably-discharged Marine and Iraq war veteran, who was arrested and jailed in May 2010 and August 2011. Read more

Carrying a Gun Across State Lines

This from Fox News and John Lott after the House passed national reciprosity for concealed carry:

For decades, treating licenses for guns like those  for cars was something that gun control advocates wanted.

In his 2000 presidential campaign, Al  Gore promised: “We require a license to drive a car in this nation in order  to keep unsafe drivers off the road. As president, I will fight for a national  requirement that every state issue photo licenses [for handgun buyers]. We  should require a license to own a handgun so people who shouldn’t have them,  can’t get them.”

On Tuesday, Lanny Breuer, Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism about his knowledge of BATFE’s gunwalking operations, and his support for gun control. Read more
