Click on link for details about tomorrow's Great Gun Debate in London between Wayne LaPierre and Rebecca Peters, leader of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). It's the largest, most lavishly funded gun-ban organization on the globe and a primary force driving the U.N. gun-ban agenda.
It starts at 9:00PM Eastern Time and you have to call your cable company to sign up for it. My cable company (Time/Warner) is charging $9.99 for the showing.
Please tune it.....
Is there maybe a free radio feed?
Have you noticed that in the United States, the gun debate is over and gun-rights advocates won?
Not if Kerry gets in!! Go to www.nra.org and check the latest media infomercials.
Don't be so sure. Sooner or later, there will be a definitive Sup Court case about the meaning of the Second Amendment.
If the Left/Kerry types get their way then it will be declared that it protects a collective right, and is therefore completely meaningless. With such a ruling, don't discount the ability of the Left and their allies in the Media/Hollywood/Academia to ram that message down the throats of Americans. Who knows, after several yrs people may accept the ruling as sound, despite its absurdity, then they may be willing to give up a right that the Court says they never really had anyway.
If the original intent is upheld, then it shall be said that it protects an individual right making bans like those that exist in D.C. and Chicago difficult to justify.
Effective December 15, 1791
Articles in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.
PREAMBLE
The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Good point. But have you noticed that John F'n Kerry has been silent on gun rights this year? Gun control hurt the Democrats in the 2000 election, and contributed to the Republican takeover in 1994. The lamestream media has pushed gun control for years, but it hasn't worked. Doesn't Kerry strike you as too risk-averse to try to push for gun control?
They haven't won -- not yet, anyway. We won't win until firearm rights are restored at a nationwide level (as per the Second Amendment) and state governments are completely removed from the equation.
How will you know we have won? When I can legally buy a firearm in New Jersey without jumping through hoops, carry it on my person legally (concealed carry), and drive across several state lines without breaking any laws. That's when.

"Kerry isnt a hunter, he just plays one on TV"
I love this ad.
Powerful infomercial isnt it. Everyone ought to see it!!
Excellent posting.
Ad Bump!
Ilive in a hunting community, and Ive thought about printing off a bunch of these ad,s and put them on the windows of a few of my friends stores, (hunting stores of course)! I may do it tomorrow, and by the way, that very ad was in a local newspaper last week!!!
I like the one, where the guy wearing a Primos hat says that the only thing Kerry hunts is a vote!!
If you notice, Kerry and especially his talking heads are careful to say things like how they respect hunting and sportsmen, and would never take their guns away from them.
BUT, they almost never speak of support for the rights of Americans to own guns (especially handguns) for self defense. That strikes me as a bit telling.
I dont' hunt, and while I support to right of others to do so, I am interested in the Second Amendment for the purpose of self-defense. And handguns are the best for that.
In games at Boston College, Kerry's Massachusetts police won't let the Mountaineer fire his muzzleloader into the air (it's real, not a prop) under threat of arrest, even though it's powder only.
I hope someone will be watching and give a live update thread.
Well yeah, its difficult to understand how the Courts could rule it as a collective right for a clear-thinking person, but its also hard to understand how they can rule the Constitution requires abortion rights and gay marriage, but they do out of the fact that the Left sees the Judiciary as the only branch of govt through which it can impose its unpopular views.
That Americans had a right to own guns was most certainly taken for granted at the Founding. It probably didn't occur to them that it would ever be questioned. The Constitutional approval of militias was probably a much bigger deal. But in no way is the individual right to own guns dependent on service in a militia. That's crazy.
But crazy is what liberal judges do best.
