A First in Connecticut

That he said he had no idea the new law was in effect makes my sympathy level go way down. [More]

If he was telling the truth, as opposed to just trying to minimize his consequences, it means he's been letting others carry the load.I'll have a tough time getting behind supporting him unless I can establish to my satisfaction that he was simply lying about that to protect himself.

Well, That Was Fast

2A Protection Bill in Florida

I was forwarded an email asking to share a link to urge gun rights/freedom activists to ask Florida legislators to support the Second Amendment Preservation Act. [More]

Per the Florida Tenth Amendment Center:

Gun Owners of America has thrown its weight behind the Florida Second Amendment Protection Act.

They include links to the draft bill as well as an executive summary and talking points here, along with action items they need help with.

Demanding Moms let slip agenda to prohibit all gun sales, not just illegal ones

What’s clear from the outrage and disappointment is, contrary to what the name of Bloomberg’s front group implies, it’s not just illegal guns that are being attacked. All guns, and the means to lawfully obtain them, are targets. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report shows, rhetoric about reasonableness and “gunsense” notwithstanding, screaming harridans will do what screaming harridans do.

You can learn more about the case here and here.

Giving Up, or Laying Low?

Remember what Obama did before the last election? [More]

This is tactical. The strategy here is to secure the power first. After that, they'll do what people with power do.

With a vengeance.
