The Texas Campus Carry Bill is Now on Hold.
http://www.statesman.com/news/texas-politics/campus-carry-gun-bill-stalls-1383477.html
To our disappointment, the TX campus carry bill has been put on hold because of 2 democrat senators Gallegos and Lucio. They backed off at the last minute and didn't allow it to be heard on the house floor. There is still a chance that the debate gets reopened but if something does come out of it it will likely be watered down BS. It's unlikely at this point that carry at any college in Texas will become legal.
Please call these senators to voice your displeasure with their decisions and to tell them that you support the bill.
Senator Mario Gallegos, Jr. at (512) 463-0346.
Senator Eddie Lucio, Jr. at (512) 463-0127.

Chicago's mayor bashes CC.
This guy has his head squarely up his ass. He is a feel good legislator, not a objective factual one. Once again the facts are on the side of gun owners. This is just another example of an idiot that likes to ignore facts. Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and has among the highest crime rate. Explain that Daley.

ATF has been Subpoenaed
http://issa.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=726:chairman-issa-subpoenas-atf-for-project-gunrunner-documents&catid=63:2011-press-releases&Itemid=4
Well since the ATF has not been cooperating with ongoing investigations, It has came to a subpoena.
The people who authorized Project Gunrunner need to be prosecuted. This is obviously big government running rampant trying to inflate statistics against private gun ownership. Obama needs to cooperate too, this should be a nonpartisan outrage.

Texas Campus Carry update.
http://www.ksat.com/politics/27394194/detail.html
Article is short, sweet and to the point. It gives the pro gun side and a slightly larger anti-gun side, but what do you expect it is the media and 99% of the time it is from the liberal prospective.
The bill goes on to a full senate vote. The outlook for the measure looks promising and Rick Perry promises to sign it into law if the citizens of Texas get the bill to his desk.
Contrary to what the typical media would have you believe, this will not allow college students to run rampant with guns. This simply allows those individuals that have to occupy a college campus, this means professors and staff as well, the ability to carry the gun they are ALREADY LICENSED to carry elsewhere like Walmart, the grocery store, the park and so on.
This is a great idea because we all know that by banning guns in certain places we are inviting a shooting gallery. The criminals do not give a crap what a sign or laws says, they are criminals. The left gives them too much credit.
Picture this, a psychopath decides that one day he is going to shoot up a crowd of people, he goes to his location and sees a no guns allowed sign. How many people think he will say: awe shucks I better find another crowd to shoot up? Too many! It is a stupid ideology that only makes people feel warm and comfy inside. The threat is still there.
I encourage yall to counter this utter stupidity, there should be no controversy to this bill.

Update Guns with DirecTV

The owner of the Radio Shack says he will NOT give in to the corporate requests to no longer offer a gun with service. This man is a patriot!

There is a Radio Shack in Montana that is offering a gun for satellite service.
http://consumerist.com/2011/03/radioshack-not-exactly-thrilled-with-free-gun-giveaway-at-montana-store.html
This is kind of humorous, however I am disgusted by the corporate reaction. A single store wanted to have a promotion that involved giving away a gun. Promoting legal activity should never be condemned by a company. I support their right to do and say as they please, but it is not their place to condemn gun ownership.
It even says business has exploded in reaction to the promotion. It would be stupid for Radio Shack to make them stop.

A Chicago Piece against CC What a surprise!
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/03/29/niu-victims-mother-speaks-out-against-concealed-weapons/
The woman in this article is speaking out against concealed carry. Of course she is wrong, the research and statistics have overwhelmingly proved that CC actually saves lives.
She at one point says: "it is like blaming the victim" when referring to the people that say that a concealed carrier can stop a massacre. Well I would argue that at least it gives the carrier an option to fight back.

This is an article about the mounting pressures against the Obama Administration for the ATF Project Gunrunner scandal and the Operation Fast and Furious. This program needs to end, numerous people have already been killed due to this program.

More guns less crime.
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2011/mar/23/MEOPINO1-more-guns-less-crime/news-opinion-commentary/
No this is not the book by John Lott, but it is a good opinion piece on the right to bear arms.
More guns really do equal less crime, so lets make more gun owners.
People act as if the second amendment is controversial. I am here to argue that it shouldn't be, we have the facts on our side, and we have one of the world's largest lobbying forces. The best way to make people understand is to take them to the range with you. It is strange that the range changes people the way it does. I have taken 5 or 6 people, that didn't really have an opinion on guns, to the gun range and all of them have ended up gun owners themselves. I encourage all of my readers to take some friends to the gun range, it is fun and it enlarges the gun owner demographic.

Open Carry has been approved by committee in FL
http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/hammer-wins-easy-vote-open-carry-gun-law
Lots of pro second amendment bills within states lately. This would erase FL from the minority of states that prohibit open carry. This, if passed will be a huge win for FL.

Guns in Cars at Work
http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2011-03-16/senate-approves-letting-texans-keep-guns-car-work
Most working Texans spend allot of time commuting, often through very bad parts of Houston, Dallas or San Antonio. A company should not be able to tell their employee that they cant defend themselves in transit to and from work.
This is a good bill that passes the TX senate and will likely pass. It forbids employers from prohibiting guns in their parking lots secured in employee's cars.
It says in the article that business owners oppose this bill because of workplace violence. This viewpoint has already been proven false. The mere fact that the employee is in possession of a gun makes them no more likely to harm anyone, the gun doesn't change the person.
I realize that there are business owners that would support this bill as well, these I applaud. If I were in a position to hire employees I would would allow concealed carry. I would even encourage it for sales agents.

NRA Response to Obama's Call for More Gun Control
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/03/nra-to-president-obama-the-problem-isnt-guns-its-law-enforcement-media-and-the-mental-health-system.html
This article is written about the NRA response to Obama's call for more gun control recently. It is a well written letter that basically tells Obama that the guns are not the problem the mental health system and criminals are. The NRA proposed to Obama more strict punishments for those that do break the current laws.
The NRA also calls for an immediate end to the ATFs Mexican Gunrunner operation which let thousands of guns cross the border to make it to cartel hands. INTENTIONALLY...
Basically the NRA is addressing the issues that need to be addressed and hopefully Obama listens. More background checks are not going to matter if you constantly let violent criminals walk. They get their guns from each other.
This is the letter:
Here is the email form to contact the Obama administration. Be polite and courteous regardless of what you think of his policies. We do not want to give them more reasons to label gun owners as toothless yokels.

I urge my readers to read it and email the Obama administration to urge him to follow the direction of the NRA letter. This would be a good bipartisan solution (that could actually pass in the house) and would likely make everyone happy... Except for criminals.
