Pro-gun Republican wins vacated Democrat seat in Connecticut

That is significant, particularly in Connecticut, where draconian measures were enacted in the wake of Newtown, and where Democrat Gov. Dannell P. Malloy has made “gun control” a defining platform of his administration, one he’s been vocal about extending to the national level. Yet Belsito and Horn were competing for the gun owner vote, not for the citizen disarmament faction. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes it's time to expose a myth being spread by the AstroTurfers and their media mouthpieces.

Republicans fail to address ATF Fast and Furious criminality in Jones hearing

For reasons presently left unsaid, the prospect of criminal prosecutions appears to encompass territory that no Republican has so far dared to even mention, let alone lead a serious scouting expedition into. It would seem fair for interested citizens to ask why not, if the GOP leadership is discouraging that, and if so, why. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders what other profession would treat actions leading to untold violent deaths as a personnel matter, and why the Republicans seem oblivious to even bringing that question up.

We're the Only Ones On the Market Again Enough

A jury has convicted the former police officer of first-degree murder for killing his wife, Vashti [More] 

I expect he'll have no shortage of suitors ... which is, in itself, a damning indictment of the aptly-named "criminal justice system."

Signs of Sickness

Whitehead said the agencies are looking for “anti-Obama views that can be interpreted to reflect psychological problems of sufficient seriousness to disqualify the veteran from ever owning a firearm.” [More]

Yep, we obviously need to add Obamaphobia to the list of disqualifiers ... although even wanting a gun ought to be all the indicators the government needs...

Suffer in Silence

Or else. [More]

I'd like to say "Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town," but in truth, this is probably going to become the new normal, meaning people who really need some help now have powerful incentives not to seek it.

What they are doing is using the forms for the two week wait period we have to compile a list of firearms owners, bypassing any sort of registration. [More]

If This Be Treason...

CSGV characterizes oath to obey Constitution as 'treason' [More] 

Of course they do. That's because they know what the penalty for treason is.

It's funny, seeing some on our side argue that the ultimate goal of "gun control" is confiscation while the collectivists ridicule that. That's because they know what their ultimate goal is.

Does anyone doubt what those who publicly call you treasonous would like to see done with you?
