What'll we be looking at first? Tampering with exports? Something else sure to screw us over and exact petty revenge?
In terms of pulling the gun bill, Chris Woodard advises Reid can bring it back at any time. Per a GOA alert:
Harry Reid’s bill (S. 649) is still on the floor of the Senate, and there are two scheduled votes that will take place tomorrow. Eventually, the Senate will vote on whether to end debate on the bill (known as cloture), but that vote won’t necessarily take place tomorrow. The Senate will need 60 votes to end debate, but if they can’t reach that threshold, the bill effectively dies. So GOA is telling Senators to vote AGAINST cloture on the bill, whenever that vote comes. ACTION: We think that we can defeat cloture on final passage of the bill. But, to be safe, GOA is encouraging activists to contact their Senators and urge them oppose cloture! You can reach them at 202-224-3121.[Via Andrea Shea King]

BREAKING: CCRKBA pulls support for Manchin-Toomey
Huge news from Dave Workman. [Read]
UPDATE: The following press release just came in from Alan Gottlieb via email:
UPDATE: The following press release just came in from Alan Gottlieb via email:
CCRKBA PULLS SUPPORT OF MANCHIN-TOOMEY ALTERNATIVE OVER RIGHTS RESTORATION
For Immediate Release:
BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has withdrawn its support for the Manchin-Toomey alternative background check measure because a key amendment for restoration of firearms rights is not being considered.
“Our support for this measure was contingent on several key provisions, the cornerstone of which was a rights restoration provision that is not on the schedule for consideration,” said a frustrated CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “This is not a reflection against Senators Joe Manchin or Pat Toomey, who are staunch Second Amendment advocates, and I want to thank them for all of their efforts to include as many protections for our gun rights as possible.
“But it appears the Democratic leadership in the Senate was opposed to letting this important consideration come up for a vote,” he said. “We told everyone including a number of senators, that while there are many pro-gun rights provisions added to the main body of the bill, our support was contingent on this additional amendment coming to the floor. When we say something, we mean it.”
Rights restoration has been withheld from American citizens for more than two decades, ever since Sen. Charles Schumer – when he was still in the House of Representatives – successfully strong-armed a provision to withdraw funding for rights restoration investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“Senators Manchin and Toomey are not to blame for this,” Gottlieb stated, “as they have been negotiating in good faith throughout this process. But Schumer and other anti-gun Democrats are continuing their campaign of demagoguery in order to permanently disqualify as many Americans as possible from being able to exercise their fundamental rights under the Second Amendment.
“If the Manchin-Toomey alternative now goes down to defeat,” he continued, “Democrats in the Senate, led by Harry Reid, have only themselves to blame. While the Manchin-Toomey alternative has a significant number of gains for gun owners, it will not include this key provision, upon which our support was dependent.
“We cannot, in clear conscience, continue to support a measure that will not include this critical relief component,” Gottlieb concluded. “If Democrats like Schumer thought we could be flim flammed on this, they were wrong.”
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation's premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.

History instructor John E. Sharp said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Actually, it was Handgun Control, Inc. board member and Violence Policy Center adviser Carl Bogus who said it and Sharp didn't credit him. Academics: Is it any wonder we love them so?
And it was Dave Kopel who debunked it:
In my own article, "The Second Amendment in the 19th Century," I detail why Bogus's claims in his article on American history are very seriously mistaken. The problem is that his assertions are based on a highly selective and implausible reading of history. For example, Bogus argues that the Second Amendment was entirely the creation of southerners who wanted strong militias to suppress slave revolts; yet he does not even mention that during the constitutional-ratification debates, the first call for an individual-arms right came from the Pennsylvania dissenters. Similarly, Bogus omits the fact that Sam Adams of Massachusetts, who detested slavery, proposed an arms right at the Massachusetts ratifying convention.Back to Sharp:
Discussing James Madison's draft of the Second Amendment, Bogus writes, "We do not know why Madison chose to draft his provisions precisely this way. He did not explain his thinking in any speech or letter that has come to light." Actually, Madison did explain his drafting choices. The Founding Father's explanation makes it clear that he viewed the 1689 English Declaration of Rights as protecting an individual right to arms, and Madison wanted the American arms right to be broader and more protective of individual rights than was the English version.
I have yet to hear a conversation informed by this context: When and for what reasons was the Second Amendment drafted?I wouldn't even know where to begin, legal and scholarly sources are just so damned abundant. Maybe start here and then spend several years keeping your eyes open and your mouth shut. Or here. Or read the Federalist Papers. Or read an amicus brief or two filed in support of Heller or McDonald. Or, you know, use Google...
Unbelievable, that this character presumes to teach and to write about that which he knows nothing. It's nothing short of malpractice. With this appalling admitted level of ignorance and evident lack of curiosity, this guy doesn't even belong in the classroom as a student until he completes some required prerequisites.
