Once cowed at the thought of provoking 2nd Amendment supporters, leftists will soon attempt to ban “assault weapons” (and much more) as legislation offered by Diane Feinstein makes its way to the Senate floor. It seems that DC liberals have finally become convinced that American gun owners are too cowardly, too lazy or too dependent upon the financial "generosity" of Big Brother to fight for their 2nd Amendment rights. During the past 4 years, the gun banning left have watched as American buyers broke sales records in the purchase of semi-automatic rifles. Opting for these and other powerful, efficient weapons...

Just before Christmas, the local newspaper in New York’s tony Westchester and Rockland Counties decided to respond to the horrific shootings in nearby Newton, Conn., with its own version of insanity. The Journal News published an interactive “gun map” showing the names and addresses of thousands of local residents who have handgun permits. The article’s headline read, “The Gun Owner Next Door: What You Don’t Know about the Weapons in Your Neighborhood.” The paper explained that it had obtained the records by filing Freedom of Information Act requests with local officials. Publisher Janet Hasson defended the paper’s move by stating,...

So Grandpa Wolfen's planning armed rebellion if the assault weapons ban is reinstated?

Warning, old timer, that might require you to get dressed and leave the house. Fair warning.

Contrary to your opinion, I am out and about every day. In fact today I plowed my driveway for the second time. That's a lot more than you do in a week. My drive way is 200 yards long.

I heard speculation today that the man who was shot by the woman hiding in the closet might have a case against the local newspaper for not publishing her name and address which would have caused him to avoid robbing her house.

What really concerns me is the prospect of some Levin/Beck/Hannity-charged crazy person with a fuckin' gun running down the middle of the street screaming "the commies are coming, the commies are coming" just as one of my daughters is walking out to her car.

you can drive a truck almost a quarter mile.

If the federal government wants to get you, your basement arsenal will not be much protection.

We spend about as much on our military as the rest of the world put together. If you get to thinking another American Revolution is in order, it's a guarantee you'll be outgunned.

This would appear obvious. It's apparently not. The nation's debate on guns is forced to accommodate people who believe they are poised to stand up to an Obama-led reign of tyranny, egged on by interest groups claiming to stand for freedom but who are mostly interested in selling more guns.

In reality, the line on legal weaponry is arbitrary. We could move it further out and allow people to buy backyard missile launchers. We could recognize the times in which the Second Amendment was written and restrict possession to nothing more advanced than what was available in the late 18th century. But it's wrong to say anything permissible today is sacrosanct.

Ahem..., Oh, you mean like Lee Harvey Oswald self acclaimed Marxist, Amy Bishop another Liberal, Jared Loughner a registered Democrat and the list goes on and on. Even children of Liberals have been involved or attempted school shootings.

Yes! They were all mentally deranged and sick, driven nuts by their ideology and/or voices in their head.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Hmm..., if you think the war in Afghanistan has been long, try us. Americans are more than capable taking their government back from a tyrannical government.

Did you have someone riding shotgun? 200 yards is a long way to go without adequate protection.
