"Perhaps emboldened by last week's voting results that did not turn Oregon's Legislature over to Republicans – the GOP 'wave' seems to have stopped at the Cascade Crest, same as here in Washington – Portland Mayor Sam Adams has announced he will essentially challenge the state’s 1995 preemption statute with a trio of new anti-gun ordinances for the Rose City."
"Maybe he figures it's safe with a returning Democrat governor and enough Willamette Valley liberals in Salem that he won't get laughed out of town." ... |

Participating in your Second Amendment right to bear arms, however, does, especially if you’re one of those evil, racist, extremist tea partiers! In a recent interview, Dohrn hypocritically labeled tea partiers as violent terrorists, conveniently forgetting the litany of terrorist activities she participated in as one of the leaders of the Weathermen, an underground terrorist group in the late 60s and 70s.

"When it comes to self-defense, a gun is 'an' answer, not 'the' answer. In fact, it’s best to look at a self-defense firearm as the last answer to the question 'How do I defend my life?' There are plenty of reasons for de-prioritizing armed self-defense, from moral concerns to practical considerations. ..." ... |

"Ahh, Christmas, that magical time of the year. Nothing beats the joy and pride a parent feels when they pick out that perfect gift and see their offspring open it up on Christmas morning. Their first bicycle, a well-oiled baseball mitt, a … Who the hell am I kidding? The latest edition of 'Call of Duty' plus a live internet link for the X-box. Done. However, there's one old-fashioned present that still rocks – their first rifle! A finely crafted, bolt-action single shot .22 rimfire will be a prized possession for years to come, or until they're old enough to want something else. So . . . then what? What do you get your progeny some years down the road?" ... |

"The powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) should be helping the United States and Mexico stem a flow of U.S. guns to Mexico's drug war, Mexico's top diplomat in Washington said on Wednesday." ...
"About 90 percent of the guns seized and traced in Mexico last year were initially sold in the United States. This 'iron river' of weapons flowing south to the cartels includes assault rifles and decorative pistols popular with drug kingpins." ...

Submitter's Note: Still trying to convince people that the ficticious 90% of seized guns are from the US figure is not a misleading red-herring. |

"Having held five events over the weekend, Second Amendment advocates continue to promote changing laws in Florida to allow citizens to openly carry holstered handguns. Open carry was legal in Florida until 1987 when Janet Reno, then an assistant state attorney in South Florida, lobbied the Legislature to ban the practice save in some situations -- namely hunting, fishing and at firing ranges."
"'The Janet Reno open carry ban will be repealed,' said Sean Caranna of Florida Open Carry." ... |

... "'If you have a concealed weapon permit, you can carry a concealed weapon with you to work for the town,' [Alderman Eric Dills] said, voicing his considerable displeasure with the situation.

"Matthews said he doesn’t know how many employees carry concealed weapons on the job, noting sagely that it would be hard to know as they are, in fact, concealed. But, he said, it’s never yet been a problem." ... |

... "Among the problems specifically cited were deficiencies in ATF’s intelligence tracking and information sharing with Mexican authorities or with other U.S. agencies such as Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The report also found 68 percent of cases featured a single-defendant, and investigators were discouraged from pursuing complex conspiracy investigations that could have led to the arrest and prosecution of higher-level traffickers. Moreover, ATF and ICE do not conduct joint operations, consistently communicate about cases or coordinate investigations." ... |

'Educate Your Kids' with the big red 'Guns Save Lives' heart, which they tore down more than a week ago, were deemed unacceptable and would stay down.
