Fast and Furious Planned to Regulate Guns in the U.S.A.

The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal continues to come out.

Rush Limbaugh has been covering this for a while, and is keeping his listeners updated. It seems that the object of this operation was to create a gun problem in Mexico that could be linked to the U.S.A. gun market. This would create a grand excuse to increase the control and restriction of firearm sale and ownership in the U.S.A. and further erosion of the Second Amendment.

Of course there was also a cover-up that included perjury across the Justice Department as they lied to Congress.

Rush Limbaugh’s comments are below. Fast and Furious comments begin around 7:18.

Mainstream media has been covering this on occasion, and Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News has been leading the way. Recent CBS News stories are here,and here.
An interesting report on Jaime Zapata below:

Fortunately this program has been exposed for what it is–another attempt at gun control. These leaders are smart enough to not make an open attempt similar to the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. Unfortunately it has cost many American and Mexican lives, and will continue on that path. These firearms have not been recovered, and are still in the possession of the criminal gangs based in Mexico.

Interview with Sharyl Attkisson on C-SPAN. There are some very telling points here:

Gun Rights in Chicago still under Attack

simon — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:10:49 +0000

A very interesting interview about the current state of Gun Rights in Chicago following the recent Supreme Court Case. The is the McDonald v. Chicago case, where Chicago residents’ rights were violated by over-restrictive laws on gun ownership.

Jim Hanson is a retired Special Operations Master Sergeant who discusses actions by the Second Amendment Foundation to ensure the gun rights of American citizens.

This is a good interview about where the future is headed with regards to upcoming court cases regarding gun control. Many questions are raised surrounded the permitting process, whether training should be required, and Jim makes a good point about the rights of property owners to determine their own policy regarding firearms.

I’ll Give Up My Gun by Steve Lee

simon — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:31:53 +0000

Steve Lee, the gun-rights singer from Australia has another great song and music video out. It is called “I’ll Give Up My Gun.” A very interesting song with a good message about being a gun owner and fanatic. The video has some humor to it, as well as a bit of history.

This song follows his other hit song “I Like Guns,” which is a Youtube sensation for all of us that love anything that shoots a bullet. This new song has a great video to accompany the song and help explain it. Mostly the Australian experience of gun control. This was a tough lesson in how gun rights can be lost for a whole country.

Steve shows off some nice rifles, pistols, and revolvers, providing some cool images.

Enjoy!

William Shatner on Gun Control

simon — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:55:56 +0000

I have never been a big fan of William Shatner’s work, but I did find a little piece that is sort of funny. This clip on gun control.

Not that far-fetched from a real-world scenario where a person is being robbed. Demonstrates again how things might turn out for those that are unarmed.

More Good 2nd Amendment Legislation

simon — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:27:35 +0000

There has been some recent action in the U.S. Congress on additional legislation that will strengthen the Second Amendment–the American right to keep and bear arms.

H.R.2296 and S. 941 work to legislate reform at the ATF. Titled “To reform the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, modernize firearms laws and regulations, protect the community from criminals, and for other purposes”

This legislation aims to roll back unnecessary restrictions and correct errors in federal firearms laws and regulations. The bill would revise the system of administrative penalties for licensed dealers, manufacturers and importers of firearms. It would prevent the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) from punishing licensees for insignificant technical violations as a means of making unconstitutional encroachment on citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

This legislation creates a more effective method of “gun control” by providing appropriate resources to ensure that individuals who commit crimes with guns are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, as opposed to seeking opportunities to penalize clerical errors – such as use of abbreviations, or filing records in the wrong order – as is currently practiced by the BATFE.

H.R. 1074 and S556 are commonly known as the Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act. This legislation will remove some older restrictions on the interstate sale of firearms.

The bill summary states:

“Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act – Amends the federal criminal code to: (1) allow licensed firearms importers, manufacturers, dealers, or collectors (licensees) to sell or deliver any firearm (currently, rifles or shotguns) to a resident of a state other than the state in which the licensee is located or temporarily located if the licensee meets with the purchaser to complete the sale or delivery and the transaction complies with the laws of the state in which the transfer is conducted and the purchaser’s state of residence; and (2) eliminate the requirement that a licensee must conduct business at a gun show only in the state that is specified on the licensee’s license.

Provides that nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit the sale or other disposition of a firearm or ammunition: (1) between licensed firearms dealers at any location in any state; or (2) by a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer to an unlicensed person at a temporary location in any state.”

H.R. 442 is the Veterans’ Heritage Firearms Act of 2009, which intends “To provide an amnesty period during which veterans and their family members can register certain firearms in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and for other purposes.”

These are several pieces of good legislation in the U.S. Congress that need to be supported by those of us who want to protect our Second Amendment rights. This legislation can be further researched for details, sponsors, and ongoing progress by visiting the Library of Congress tracking tool called Thomas. It is very easy to find at www.thomas.gov It is a very good place to browse legislation and search for specifics.

After we are informed, we need to write our Representative and Senators. Thank those who are on the record as a co-sponsor and encourage those who are opposed to vote for it.
