This puts a smile on my face. AR-15 seems sensible when you’re out gun and out-manned. If homeowners aren’t protected and an intruder enters and kills them, the hypocrites in this world would say it’s a tragedy. Well, screw them. I refuse to be the victim. I really don’t care for anyone else. Family comes first. If homeowners don’t protect their family, I call it a tragedy.

Gun Control – Which Argument Makes More Sense?
by Mark A. Cohen
I’m now active on Twitter. Please follow me there at @markacohen
Murderers don’t obey laws.
The Huffington Post article’s headline reads, “I Never Wanted to Take Your Guns Away,” and yet, the state of Colorado recently passed laws which restrict the gun magazine size to 15 rounds. They seek to reduce or ban the sales of guns. Boatloads of bills remain written but not yet passed, including those banning online classes and certifications via the Internet. Former astronaut Mark Kelly (husband of Gabby Giffords), said on FOX News Sunday on Mar. 31, 2013, “It's (background checks are) the most common-sense thing that we can do to prevent criminals and the mentally ill from having access to weapons.” To which version of common sense does Mr. Kelly refer?
The website, justfacts.com, which claims to be a resource for independent thinkers, states that since Chicago’s tough gun control laws passed in the early 1980’s, gun murders have increased by 40% in that city. Since Florida’s right-to-carry laws passed in the mid 1980’s, gun crime has decreased by 15%. After Texas passed right-to-carry, the homicide rate from guns dropped by 30%. Michigan’s rate also went down by only 4%, but this is 2% lower than the national average. Although he speaks of background checks, Mr. Kelly’s logic escapes me.
Criminals don’t care what the sign says.
Former Rep. Giffords said, “We must do something.” But, shouldn’t we think first? This week’s Aurora Sentinel (Colorado), contains an article by Brandon Johansson which reacts to some Colorado sheriffs who say they either can’t or won’t enforce the state’s new gun laws. His article divides the counties into rural and city. Even the sheriffs who say they will enforce the laws admit to the difficulty in doing so.
Criminals respect force, not rules.
How should we determine if our neighbor is worthy of possessing a weapon that shoots bullets? How is psychological fitness judged and by whom? The Constitution of the United States says that the citizens may “keep and bear arms,” and that right, “shall not be infringed.” No, the fathers of our country did not foresee our violent, out-of-control society, laced with dare and bravado. Or, did they? Guns protect us from idiots who would kill us. Perhaps the founders realized it. If not, the facts stand behind them, regardless.

Gun Owners Outed in NY by The Journal News – Interactive Map Reveals Their Locations - Paper Then Hides Behind Security Guards Armed with Guns
by Mark A. Cohen
The Journal News says that people who own guns live on the red dots and those who don’t are located in the blank areas on the map. Who will be more likely use that information to their advantage?
If a student punches another, how should we react? We may suggest some sort of punishment, but we wouldn’t think the bully’s hand should be amputated and we sure don’t believe in revealing where the bully lives so that everyone can harass him. Tucker Carlson, of The Daily Caller, said recently, “Who cares what kind of tool he used, why did he do it? That’s the question.” This is indeed the best response. As we know, guns are inanimate objects, but people commit murder, and the vast majority of guns used in crimes are unregistered, illegal weapons.
The frenzy to ban guns reappeared just after the Newtown, CT shooting on Sunday, Dec. 16, 2012. The Journal News, a newspaper liberally serving the area just north of New York City, decided to publish the identities of local gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties – apparently to shame them. No one questions the legality of the action because in New York State gun ownership is public information, but was it the right thing to do? Not only did the paper name names, but it published an interactive map with their addresses. By omission, this also pointed anyone interested to the unprotected homes in each area. In 2008, candidate Barack Obama, while supporting gun rights, promised not to take our guns away, but here come the vigilantes, anyway. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his posse have suggested they begin confiscating legally owned weapons.
The idea to embarrass gun owners backfired (pun intended), as experts and former criminals pointed out after the fact that the data makes these counties more vulnerable to robberies. There are unintended consequences, of course. Consider the battered housewife or stalked person, who legally purchased a gun for protection. If their names and addresses can be found with the click of a mouse, will they be safer? The people once arrested and / or prosecuted can now easily identify and locate the retired law enforcement professionals living in the zone (such as lawyers, judges, and police officers). Will the released information enable revenge attacks or killings? Criminals have warned that these areas will be cased in the coming months until new targets can be determined. The possibilities for gun theft increase when crazed addicts and crooks know a weapon’s location. Thieves have broken into at least one house in the area so far, probably looking for weapons to steal.
Others predict that the featured residences will be ignored and those people without permits could become victims. Some gun owners expressed elation that their addresses can now easily be identified as gun-protected: it makes them feel a whole lot safer. However, equating careful and lawful gun owners to mindless mass-murdering shooters is wrong. The newspaper should bear full responsibility for all the fallout resulting from their irresponsible, thoughtless, and senseless act. The editor (Cyndee Royle Lambert) and publisher (Janet Hasson) did not consider the consequences of their actions. In typical, elite, cowardly fashion, they pestered others with incessant questions in the past, but they themselves are answering to no one these days. Judge Jeanine Pirro, the most interesting and sensible of the TV pundits on the subject, was one of those ‘outed’ by the paper. She recently pondered if it makes as much or more sense to publish the names and addresses of the recipients of unemployment benefits – or welfare recipients - since any of them could be scamming the system and/or breaking the law. Since publishing the gun locations, The Journal News, in a fit of hypocrisy, hired armed guards to protect their location, its people, and their residences. Apparently they don’t like it when others know their home addresses.
Actors who make their living by appearing in violent movies, many of whom shoot rapid-fire weapons in those films, created an ad which asks the audience to demand a plan (for gun control). Here’s the clean version which includes interspersed shots of the same actors shooting deadly weapons while at the same time asking you for tougher gun laws. It’s okay if they make money conveying the idea of murder, but they absolve themselves of any responsibility when madmen kill for real while mimicking violent movies or TV shows. Most of those speaking on behalf of gun control laws either carry or hire people to do it for them. President Obama described the day of the Newtown shooting as “the worst day of my presidency," but his family is understandably protected by gun-carrying members of the secret service.
Listen to how so many stick up for the privacy of the common man. You’ve heard them speak. They reveal a level of paranoia second to none when it comes to how much they think they’re being watched by “the government.” Many refuse to give their phone numbers out to sales people and won’t fill out raffle forms - if their e-mail address is required. “None of their business,” they say. Most of these people fight for the right to privacy for everyone else, including those who have abortions (even those underage). But for some reason, gun owners don’t qualify for the same right to privacy - in their eyes. They’re wrong, the right to bear arms, as laid out in the Constitution’s Second Amendment, should also be protected as private.
Instead of banning guns we need to scan for potential mental illness when permits are sought and guns are bought. We need to educate people of all ages – gun owners and those who don’t have permits - about firearms and gun safety. Those who purchase and then carry a concealed weapon will seek this knowledge. As they say, more education is always better.

Newt Gingrich Gun Control Brady Bill
If you are a gun owner you might be interested in knowing that Newt Gingrich not only supported the Brady Bill, but also supported the Lautenberg law that takes away gun rights for crimes as simple as spanking your child.
No wonder IowaGunOwners.org and the National Association for Gun Rights are using Robo-calls in Iowa, desperately trying to inform voters of Gingrich's anti-gun record.
Here is what the Robo-call is saying.
“Attention gun owners. This is an important alert on Newt Gingrich.
With the Iowa caucuses just weeks away, Gingrich still refuses to answer the Iowa Gun Owners presidential gun rights survey.
What is he hiding? Congressman Paul and Congresswoman Bachmann have completed their survey 100 percent correct.
Yet Speaker Gingrich still refuses. Why?
Maybe it’s because of his record. You see as speaker, Newt supported the anti-gun Brady Bill that created a national gun registry.
Newt also supported the Lautenberg law that takes away gun rights for crimes as simple as striking your child.
In fact, he even he wants to mandate a thumb print scan for all gun owners.
So please take a moment to call Newt’s office today at (515) 468-9225 and ask them what Newt is hiding.
That number again is (515) 468-9225.
Tell Newt that you could never trust a candidate that refuses to answer a simple survey – especially when his anti-gun record is so well known. That number is (515) 468-9225.
This call was paid for by the National Association for Gun Rights and IowaGunOwners.org.”
Just for contrast, here is Bachmann's stance on gun control.
If you are wondering what Bachmann's position is on the Second Amendment, you will be glad to know that "she is a concealed and carry permit holder." Not only that, she also told People magazine she wants to teach her daughters how to shoot because women need to be able to protect themselves.
What thrilled me that most about the concealed carry permit, was the way the moonbat liberals reacted to learning about it.
Is anyone else concerned that someone with such a history of whacked behavior as Michele Bachmann holds a license to carry a handgun? I thought they had mental health standards for granting a "concealed-carry" permit. And is anyone aware of any other politician or political candidate who brags on their website that they may be carrying a handgun in their purse? Is this some kind of implied warning to her adversaries to "Don't mess with Michele?"
From Bachmann's website:
"Michele is a concealed and carry permit holder."

This may seem ridiculous to normal Americans who grew up driving to school with deer guns hanging in their truck windows. But these people are not normal. They actually believe that guns are a bad thing.
You make a compelling case there commie.
I think I will go reload some bullets.
