How Gun Owners Can Make Society Safer and Protect Americans

Jennifer Freeman (cool last name, huh?) of Liberty Belles thinks ordinary Americans have a role to play in protecting our nation’s borders.

A citizen militia defending community, state and nation—why that’s a concept worthy of our Founders!

San Francisco Handgun Ban Media Project

Guy Smith wants to educate the public in San Francisco so that the proposed gun ban is defeated. He’s recruiting support for the project at http://www.gunfacts.info/sfban/.

If you’re not already aware of Gun Facts, check it out. It’s a great resource, and this announcement just reminded me to add it to my list of links.

Carner on "Standing Up For America"

From Rick Stanley:

"Charles Robert Carner will be the featured guest on 'Standing Up For America' with Rick Stanley, Sunday night at 7:00 PM MST, February 27, 2005, at http://www.americanvoiceradio.net to discuss his new movie remake of the cult classic 'Vanishing Point' . This movie has an incredible 'freedom and liberty' message not seen in mainstream Hollywood. I am not talking about the 'freedom and liberty' mentioned over and over by President Bush and his Police State of America either. We are talking the real thing. I would urge folks to listen in Sunday night and to check out the film as well.

Imagine That!

"Young people have some funny ideas about those days," [Black Panther historian Billy X Jennings] says. "They think it was all about the guns, but the guns were just a symbol. It was the right to carry them, and use them to defend yourself, that was important.” [Note: registration required to view article.]

Imagine that! The individual right to keep and bear arms stated clearly in the Contra Costa Times—with no hysterical counter-argument against the idea!!!

“Guns were front and center from the start," the article tells us, "partly because self-defense resonated in the black community because of a series of alleged police brutality incidents, partly because all that hardware got people's attention fast."

Imagine that! Guns are deemed useful for protecting citizens from abuse by those in power. Why, isn’t that the “Insurrectionary Theory” leftwing rags like the CCT discredit as the province and fantasy of white knuckle-draggers?

“That became evident in May 1967," the story continues, "when the Panthers exploded out of obscurity when news cameras filmed them on the steps of the state Capitol in Sacramento, carrying rifles to protest a bill that would have restricted gun ownership.”

Imagine that! Instead of suing gun makers, like the NAACP, or sponsoring gun turn-in programs, like so many urban churches, a group of blacks demand their right to keep and bear arms. They scared the Establishment so much with that event, that NRA’s Second Amendment Champion Ronald Reagan signed The Mulford Act into law, banning that type of open carry in California (along with supporting a host of other unconstitutional gun control edicts).

There's no outraged quote from a representative of VPC or the Million Moms/Brady Campaign, or from the cops, or from some posturing politician. The paper hasn't demonized the Panthers for being armed. Imagine that!

And, before protesting the Panthers were racist commie thugs, that’s not the point. This is.
