This is an outstanding, short speech by a former Secret Service agent that says what I was trying to say here better than I ever could have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AdhXSj-DL1A -Mike-

That is exactly the problem. Whether laws are Constitutional or not, they are being passed and enforced. I hope to God we never reach the point where we have an armed response within our own borders. That's why I am hoping we can channel this energy into putting people in office that will...

Like everyone else, I have been concerned about the proposed gun legislation and the general erosion of freedom here in the United States. We are putting a lot of effort into defending our rights. Many are exerting tremendous effort to stockpile guns and ammunition in case these laws pass. I...

Received three replies so far. Senator Gary Dahms indicated strong support for the Second Amendment! Representative Chris Swedzinski, likewise responded that he is working to defeat the legislation and to protect the Second Ammendment. Senator Al Franken sent a generic response saying that he...

This is my latest letter to my Federal and State Representatives: I am writing today to ask you to oppose any legislation that is in conflict with the second amendment to the Constitution. Upon election, you took an oath. In that oath, you swore to defend the constitution at all times. Not...

In my opinion, this is exactly the right message regarding what we need to be doing (and not doing) at this point.. LiveLeak.com - gun control: Line in the sand

I was thinking the same thing. I would be that anti-gun groups and possibly our own government are supplying the guns for the buybacks. Guns captured in drug raids or whatever. They just showed a gun buyback clip on HLN and there was a huge pile of AR15s. C'mon... how many people are going...

Gun Buy-backs I just watched a Headline News report about a gun buy-back program that was "so successful" that the police ran out of gift cards". They said that they got 1600 guns. OK... 1600 guns is hardly noteworthy in a country where citizens have over 300 million guns, but they report it...

I did not see the NRA press conference, but read the transcript. I thought they made some excellent points about how we use armed guards to protect our money in banks, in stadiums, in airports, in congress, etc. but not to protect our children. Whenever that comes up, they show a clip of...

Great discussion. There is a lot of misinformation going around, so it will be a while before we know what really led to this, if we ever learn at all. Trying to understand the motives and reasoning of an insane person is probably an exercise in futility, but it is our nature to try. Some...

If you are human and even slightly sane, you will agree that the recent murders of the school children was horrible. The gun control advocates will use this to drive their agenda. It sounds so logical that people who had no opinion or were on the fence before will be drawn into supporting bans...

On Sunday Morning today, there was a lot of the same. I wouldn't count on the "grandfathered" statements. Saying that will keep some of the resistance down, but it will be really easy to change at the last minute, or later.

Thanks all, When I posted that story, I expected to get a little scolding from the group, but I am impressed that you all do it maturely with the intention of educating. That said... I agree that I share responsibility in this. Having gotten used to the trigger, I did not stop to think...

Thanks for the information. Definitely looking for a course. The gun club has one in the Spring, so I plan to take that. I was a little surprised that this very experienced friend had this issue. I don't ever put my finger in the trigger guard until I intend to pull the trigger. I guess...

I have a S&W 5904. I really like the gun. It is my first and only handgun. A friend loaned me his S&W .22 also, so I have had the chance to shoot both. (Very new to this) Anyway... the one thing about the 5904 that took some getting used to is the trigger pull. My old .22 rifle I had when...
