Radio host charges Cuomo/DHS conspiracy against gun owners

Bauerle alleges there is “a clandestine squad” violating the Fourth Amendment and circumventing HIPAA privacy protections in order to revoke pistol permits from those who have been prescribed anti-depressants or who have undergone mental health treatment, calling that “tyranny, plainly and simply.” [More

Well alrighty then.

Senate gun bill discriminates against key ‘progressive’ constituency

That said, unless and until such changes in federal law are made, or until the Supreme Court decides on the issue (with a ruling not expected until June), the “gun control” package being pushed by the administration will, if passed, continue to, in Obama’s words about marriage equality, “deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as other couples.” [More] 
In the spirit of "Any chair in a bar fight," today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary attempts to ... uh... queer the deal.

NRA scoring on ‘anti-gun amendments’ may be too little too late

Legislative smoke and mirrors notwithstanding, the one truly common sense demand that should be non-negotiable by those who are really interested in discouraging mass shootings is denying the one thing perpetrators crave above all else: Success. Unless and until gun owners demand and achieve an end to phony “gun-free” zones, there is nothing standing in the way of the next killer -- and there will be a next one. [More
