I've Got Mine!

You, ehhh:
You may NOT bring firearms on any Bus, Trolley or Coaster.
Because obviously, we're all safer if we have no guns.

Unlike Civilians

Unlike civilians, state lawmakers do not have to pass through metal detectors to get inside the building, security officials said Wednesday. [More]
So the rulers aren't civilians? What are they, a military junta?

Down with the Capitalist Pigs

Channeling Che for profit...[Read]

What do you expect from economic fascists who "prospered on the backs of its workers, including the use of thousands of concentration camp slave laborers right up to the final days of the Third Reich"?

Y'know, if and when the Occupier mobs start dragging CEOs to the guillotines...

Forget It, Jake, It's Chi-Town

Outside the suburbs in the city, we have control, but what the hell, in the suburbs, there are — you go out to all around our suburbs and you've got people out there, especially the non-white, are buying guns right and left. Shotguns and rifles and pistols and everything else. There's no registration. … There's no, and you know, they've had trouble with this national gun law, but after the president's assassination, someone ought to do something. [More]
Keep being Chicago Democrat Machine bitches, "community leaders."

Point/Counterpoint

This one's from the "pro-gun" side?
There are better ways to prevent illegal interstate firearm trafficking. One method is BATF's Multiple Purchase Reporting Forms.
Jeez, why do we even need to hear from this lying thug?
Almost 19 years later, Virginia's one-handgun-a-month purchase law continues to serve as a balanced solution to help stem the flow of illegally purchased handguns from Virginia to other states. The genesis of the law was the result of a large number of handguns that were purchased in Virginia being used in the commission of crimes in New York City and other urban centers on the East Coast.
Right. Do it for Bloomberg. There's a reason for restrictions on me.

But the thing is, it doesn't do a damn thing.  Look at ATF's own trace summaries for VA to NY:
2006: 530/ATC: 12.00
2007: 482/ATC: 12.40
2008: 502/ATC: 13.03
2009: 443/ATC: 12.77
2010: 415/ATC: 13.65
Nothing meaningful can be really gleaned from any variables here, and keep in mind, the average "time to crime" for New York during these reporting periods is measured above in years.

Kind'a makes you wonder what this other "pro-gun" moron was thinking when he supported a government mandated purchase limitation infringement, but then again, do you really care why someone attacks you as much as what you need to do to make him stop?

Will VA’s McDonnell be an acceptable candidate for gun owners?

Gee, an NRA-endorsed candidate stabbing gun owners in the back and adopting the same position as the Bradys. Where have we seen that before? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at yet another turncoat politician--and curiously, one who had made his opposition to the right to carry on campuses known before he was endorsed.

This Day in History: January 12

On January 12, 1780, Gen. Washington changes the reporting of the various personnel of each regiment to a stricter accounting. “On command” now meant for military duty only. [More]
