News and Reviews Return on January 1

By Richard on December 29, 2012 2 Comments

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas season.  We’ve been resting a bit, and getting ready for all of the events coming in January.  On the upside, we have the 2013 SHOT Show and all of the new guns and gear that comes with it.  We will be there getting all of the information for you.

On the downside, we will be in the fight of our lifetimes for our rights to self-defense as codified in the Second Amendment.  Among the proposed legislation is registration of all AR, AK and other semi-automatic firearms.  Make no mistake, there will be Republicans and Democrats pushing for these freedom-limiting laws.

If you have not done so already, join the NRA plus one of these other organizations:

  • Second Amendment Foundation

  • Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
  • Gun Owners of America

  • Your state’s gun rights organizations such as Buckeye Firearms Association, Virginia Citizens Defense League, CalGuns, Florida Carry and Georgia Packing.  Google your state if it is one of the many I did not specifically list.

Also, go to your elected representatives offices and let them know what you think.  A letter is nice, a phone call is ok, and e-mail is almost worthless – showing up and looking them in the eye, on the other hand, can make an impact.  Be polite, but firm, in your insistance that they keep their hands off our rights and property.

Lots more coming next week!

2009 Gun Rights Policy Conference

By Richard on August 24, 2009 No Comments

The 2009 Gun Rights Policy Conference is coming up quickly.  The event, sponsored by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), is scheduled for September 25-27, 2009 in St. Louis, MO.

The 2009 Gun Rights Policy Conference is the 24th annual conference sponsored by the SAF.  The conference allows grassroots activists to “network and get an insider look and plan pro-gun rights strategies for the coming year.”

There is no cost to attend the conference.  The SAF provides food and a lot of Second Amendment books and other materials for free.  Your only cost is in getting there.

This year’s speakers have not yet been announced, but previous presenters have included: Alan M. Gottlieb, Wayne LaPierre, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan, Larry Elder, Ken Hamblin, John Lott, Sandy Froman,  Alan Gura, Massad Ayoob, and Tom Gresham.

If you are interested in attending, registration is done at the SAF website.

L.A. Continues Chokehold on Gun Rights: Disbar Citizens with Misdemeanor Convictions of Possessing Firearms

By Richard on February 14, 2009 No Comments

The city of Los Angeles has a long history of failing to protect its citizens. Continuing in this tradition, Los Angeles moves again to take more rights away from the law abiding citizens.

In December, I wrote about new anti-gun legislation being proposed by the Los Angeles city council, and that no one took the time to show up and speak out against the new proposals.  The ordinance later passed bringing the following new rules to the law abiding citizens of L.A.:

  • a ban on the sale of .50 ammunition
  • a requirement that anyone selling any ammunition be licensed by the city
  • a ban on mail-order and Internet sales of ammunition
  • an inventory of all firearms held by a dealer must be forwarded to the LAPD twice each year
  • prohibition on “secret compartments” for guns in vehicles (i.e. a gun lock box)
  • allows landlords to evict tenants who are convicted of illegally possessing a firearm or ammunition

While California looks to release “tens of thousands” of convicts from prison because they cannot afford to keep them, the city of L.A. continues its march on the liberties of its law abiding citizens.  L.A. is now proposing new anti-gun legislation that would make it illegal for a citizen to possess a firearm or ammunition if they were convicted of an enumerated misdemeanor offense.

It has long been held that misdemeanor offenses do not disbar an U.S. citizen from exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights.  Over the years, however, this has been chipped away.  The most notable example is the misdemeanor domestic violence conviction disability passed by the U.S. Congress in the 1990′s.  This, however, is even more egregious, as a mere city is now disbarring the rights of a free citizen from the exercise of his or her Second Amendment rights.

Let me be clear: the war on gun rights and all freedoms is on.  This battle is in Los Angeles.  The next battle will be in your town.  Please get involved!  The prior rights grab in December was unanimously approved, and no voices of opposition were present.  Do not let the current attack go unchallenged.

Contact the Los Angeles city council.  Join the NRA.  Join the Second Amendment Foundation and Gun Owners of America.  Write letters to the newspapers.  GET INVOLVED!

McDonald v. Chicago: Gun Rights Lawsuit Brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and Illinois State Rifle Association in the Wake of D.C. v. Heller

By Richard on June 26, 2008 16 Comments

In the wake of the landmark D.C. vs Heller case, the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago. Chicago, which has draconian anti-gun laws, currently bans handguns and requires onerous registration procedures on other firearms.

“Chicago’s handgun ban has failed to stop violent crime,” SAF founder Alan Gottlieb stated. “It’s time to give the Constitution a chance.”

You can follow the progress of this case, McDonald v. City of Chicago, at a special website set up by the Second Amendment Foundation: ChicagoGunCase.com.

Wyoming Protects Rights of Citizens in Disaster

By Richard on March 12, 2008 No Comments

On Friday, March 7, Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal (D) signed House Bill 57 into law.

Sponsored by State Representative Allen Jaggi (R-18), HB 57 will prevent government authorities from confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens, such as occurred in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This legislation will prevent the state of Wyoming from restricting the possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display, or use of firearms or ammunition during a declared state of emergency.


Please contact Governor Freudenthal and thank him for protecting our Second Amendment rights. The Governor can be reached by phone at (307) 777-7434 or visit http://governor.wy.gov/contact-dave/default.html to send email.
