Connecticut Republicans voting for gun ban may go unpunished
It took years of settling for unprincipled GOP poltroons to get places like Connecticut into the sorry state they’re currently in, and now that gun owners there are reaping the results of widespread apathy and settling for the perceived "lesser of two evils," it’s merely a statement of fact to point out that continuing to reward people who betray you gives them absolutely no incentive to change and even less reason to respect you.

dis·tort verb \di-ˈstȯrt\: To transcribe
Rather than debate me on the merits of this common-sense proposal, the gun lobby has decided to distort remarks I made at a recent forum in Denver to attack me personally. After the forum, opponents of my bill intentionally mischaracterized one phrase from my remarks, spreading half-truths to mobilize their on-line allies. This is what they do and what they have done for decades to distract the public conversation from the critical issue of reducing gun violence. [More]So now quoting you verbatim is distorting your remarks. Cool -- as long as you reserve that power to yourself, you can win every debate that way! And we should probably all forget the pathetic damage control statement that just dug a deeper hole.

Repeal the Hughes Amendment
There are nearly 20 individual legal arguments, each one absolutely brilliant and rock-solid impenetrable in and of itself, all being combined into one super case on steroids to repeal the Hughes Amendment. For tactical reasons, I can’t go into what the arguments are, but rest assured, each and every one is absolutely devastating to the governments’ case for keeping the ban in place. [More]Whenever anyone says "rest assured," my first reaction is to look around nervously for what I missed, and maybe see if I still have my wallet.
Just because an argument is brilliant, rock solid and impenetrable doesn't mean it won't be ignored, bypassed, overruled, deemed inadmissible...
At this point it should be obvious this isn't about what is right, it's about who has power.
Here's what I said back in 2005:
[I]f they accept either Seegars or Parker, I believe the court will not dare say there is no individual rkba. But if they find there is one, it will be so heavily burdened with "reasonable restrictions" as to ensure the status quo. They'll never admit the truth unless someone, that would be us, has enough power to compel them.Was I wrong?
I'd love to see the Hughes Amendment repealed. And I don't want to be a naysayer and discourage an effort I admittedly know nothing about by people I will presume to be patriotic and sincere.
That said, the road to hellish precedent is paved with good intentions. I need to know much more about the "tactical reasons" and who is behind this, and so do you. And in fairness, so does anyone kneejerk criticizing and dismissing it.

Obama complains about mistrust on ‘gun control’ while spreading falsehoods
“Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control,” the official White House transcript of his remarks records, noting the mention elicited applause. “I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.” [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that trust must be earned, so it figures the entitled expect it to be bestowed.

'Universal background check' opponents get unexpected boost from ACLU
These are powerful arguments that can be used as counters to those who would scoff if the source were simply the NRA. And as for the hollow protest that current law prevents the establishment of a database, does anyone doubt the same people who are pushing for background checks, and who would push for total citizen disarmament if they thought they could, wouldn’t end such a prohibition in a heartbeat if they could get the votes? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes we've just been handed a gift. Use it.
Not Alone
Pavlich is not the only commentator to assert that Fast and Furious was an attempt to curb the Second Amendment. NRA executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre said in 2011 that “Fast and Furious” was a “plot to undermine” the right to bear arms. [More]You don't say.
With Spokesmen Like These...
"For example, right now if you go to a gun show, you have registered firearm dealers who are there, but if you have a casual sale ... they're not a registered dealer, perhaps they can make a sale" and conduct a background check because "you've got accessible, they're right there in the same venue, so you can have those background checks done very easily without being a burden." [More]So, Asa --who's going to pay for it, and how is that not a burden? Seeing as how we're talking about a right, how would that not be analogous to, say, a poll tax? And what happens if someone refuses to go along with your demand -- what kind of "burdens" will they be exposed to then?
And then there's this, from NRA "clarifying" their School Shield czar's position with all the skill of Juliet Johnson:
"He meant expanding it to include more people into the national instant check system," the spokesman said. "And by number of people, this is in reference to the quality of information within NICS."You know: Blanket dragnets!
No? I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "adjudicated" is:
“This is a good bill. It is essential to being able to follow the law to keep people with mental illnesses from purchasing firearms.”, says Marion Hammer, National Rifle Association/Unified Sportsmen of Florida.Funny. I'm still not seeing what needs to be said in no uncertain terms:
Under the legislation, anyone voluntarily checking themselves in for mental health treatment would have to sign a form. The form acknowledges they had been ordered to seek help and if they do not go voluntarily, they would be committed. When they sign the form they also give up their right to gun ownership.
