"It seems that the speed and reach of social media is biting the 87 year old anti gun Senator on, shall we say .. the rear."
"Lautenberg’s Facebook page is filled with 100′s of Wall post from Facebook members complaining about everything from the Senators lack of reply to constituents request for meetings and information, to his support for New York chronie Mayor Bloomberg and his gunban front group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, to folks questioning how he stays true to his Oath of Office and the Constitution in the face of his repeated attacks on the Second Amendment." ... |

"Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, gave me a call at home the other day. In the taped message, my friend Wayne warned me that unless I and other patriotic Americans stepped forward to stop it, the dastardly United Nations, with Iran, China, North Korea and other evil countries behind it, would soon come into our country and into our very homes, strip the Second Amendment out of the Constitution and 'take away every pistol, and rifle and shotgun' that we owned."

"As of late Sunday afternoon, my latest column [Before bearing arms, bare your soul, Viewpoints, Sept. 21] had generated 256 comments at OakPark.com, the clear majority coming from arms-bearers baring their souls.
Interesting souls."
"As I predicted in my column, their reactions ranged from 'explosive rage to derisive contempt to arrogant condescension.'"
"Generally, people react that way when they're afraid, and what a frightful universe gun extremists live in. Their obsession with guns is matched only by their obsession with all the bad guys out there just waiting to mug them. They inhabit an alternate universe where every day is combat — the great gunfight at the I'm OK, You're Not Corral." ... |

"I'm glad to see Rep. Darrell Issa agrees with me that a special prosecutor is needed to investigate Operation 'Fast and Furious.' As I recently told a crowd at CPAC in Florida, Barack Obama and Eric Holder are stonewalling two congressional investigations, shrugging their shoulders and saying, 'I didn't authorize it. Don't ask me.' Meanwhile, DOJ and ATF employees are being moved back to D.C., where higher-ups can keep a close eye on them. Several of the ATF field agents who first blew the whistle on the scandal say they've been moved to dead-end jobs as retaliation for speaking out.
"This is the biggest cover-up since Watergate and it's time to ask the Watergate question: Who authorized Fast and Furious and how high up does it go? ..." ... |

| As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. — Justice William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court (1939-75) |
