"The answer to the above question may soon be apparent. Starting even before the Obama/Biden 'plan' to reduce 'gun violence,' was announced Wednesday, several states have been scrambling to protect their people from the proposed oppressive new gun laws, and even imprison federal law enforcement officers who try to enforce those oppressions. Coalition to Stop Gun Violence executive director Josh Horwitz is not going to like this."

... "It's time to take the Second Amendment seriously. Government permission shouldn't be needed to exercise a fundamental right. The prohibition on the sale of new automatic weapons must be repealed. Import restrictions on arms and ammunition should be lifted."

"The common-sense solution to gun violence is to have more guns in the hands of responsible, law-abiding citizens and fewer in the hands of criminals. People who misuse firearms should be punished. There should be no 'gun free' zones. Keeping guns out of schools only makes them stalking grounds for psychopaths." ...

I would love a deer hunting rifle, a .22 with a magazine that holds about 50 rounds so I could have fun 'target' practicing instead of 'loading' practice. Honestly, I would like a handgun, but only just in case I visit Fresno, CA or downtown Memphis again; because I didn’t feel safe in those two places.

As they address the widespread concern over the private ownership of assault weapons with large capacity cartridge magazines and the ease with which dangerous persons ... can acquire firearms (including those with high capacity cartridge magazines) through gun shows and private sales, they define proposed legislation or Presidential Executive Orders as assaults on our Constitution." ...

"A Maryland-based TTAG reader writes:"

"Our governor (and probable future Democratic presidential candidate!) Martin O’Malley has announced a new set of gun bills to further his goal of complete civilian disarmament. The bills aren’t available yet, but the summary is [click here for the text]:"
  1. "Licensing for new handgun purchases"

  2. "One-feature AWB. The speech carefully said 'centerfire rifles', so there is a chance that this may even apply to bolt and pump guns with detachable mags!"

  3. "10rd magazine limit"
"It’s disgusting how it explicitly says how he’s trying to carve out hunters and clay shooters so he can divide and conquer. We’ve seen that strategy before, and it’s more effective than it should be. ..." ...

"Later today, New York legislators will add at least 33 amendments to the NY SAFE ACT of 2013. The measures are designed to correct dozens of significant flaws in the bill (aside from the ACT’s existence). Plainview attorney Albert Turi agrees with The New York Times’ description of the gun ban bill as a 'dog’s breakfast.' 'The Governor waived the Constitutional requirement for a three day waiting period for any new bill using his emergency powers,' Turi told TTAG. 'The ACT was rushed through without proper thought or consideration . . . There are parts of it I can’t read, understand or digest.' How bad is it? . . ." ...

"Democrats in North Carolina took it on the chin in the 2012 elections. They lost the governorship, the lieutenant governorship, many seats in Congress, and stand at less than one-third of the members of each house of the General Assembly. Given that you'd think that they would be trying to establish positions that would help them regain lost ground."

"Sean at An NC Gun Blog reports on how they just don't get it. Clay Pittman, press secretary for the NC Democrat Party, issued a rambling, stream of consciousness, release attacking Gov. Pat McCrory for calling the gun prohibitionists 'foolish' for their efforts to enact a new 'assault weapons' (sic) ban. As McCrory correctly points out, all it is doing is increasing gun sales." ...
