From my Glock Bro’: Raped woman calls 911 but police don’t arrive in time for rapist.

Barack Obama says he supports reasonable gun control. In Illinois, this woman may have been subject to prosecution. The story said she borrowed a weapon and in Illinois a permit is required before possession of a shotgun can be legal. Moreover, our President Elect opposed immunity for people using guns to defend themselves in their own homes.

His past voting record has not ben about reasonable restrictions that support public safety. His past voting record is anti-gun, plain and simple. He has campaigned, however, saying he won’t take our guns. That, is not much of a concession. Taking guns is not easy; were that the aim, it wouldn’t be the first step. But what will he do?

Obama, to discount his record, repeatedly said he supported the Second Amendment. His plans for re-election therefore may moderate his actions against gun owners and gun manufacturers. We’ll have to wait and see what the Democrats pass in Congress and what Barack signs.

The Democrats will be pushing more gun control. They will be using federal regulations and ATF “interpretations” etc. of manufacturing, sales and ownership to make self-defense more difficult, but all in the name of public safety.

I doubt the primary target of gun legislation and regulation will be criminals like rapists; the target of socialists is liberty. In the end, I suspect the “reasonable” restrictions will do less to decrease crime than borrowing a shotgun did in this case.

Heh. I never thought I’d say this: “Good luck Obama.” The NRA isn’t going to be bullied.

Of course, it’s really not Obama vs. the NRA. Obama is simply trying to do damage limitation by using legal action against those who do business with the NRA.

Obama’s legal team has sent intimidating letters to tv stations and cable operators warning them of possible legal action for running NRA ads. The letter cites Factcheck, but see the factcheck of the Factchecker….. why trust gun idiots to judge the truth about guns?

Good grief Obama. What ever happened to “change” in campaigning? Intimidating critics in Missouri? Or is this all part of “community organizing.”

I can do without this “organizing”; let me judge the NRA ad like any other ad. (At least the NRA has been around for awhile, unlike the “pro-hunter” front AHSA group.)

Godspeed to us all who have to wade through the ads and campaign literature of honest as well as shifty politicians.

From my Glock Bro’:

Armed robbery attempt at Wal-Mart. And see video for officer’s assessment of “wrong victim.”

There’s courage to preserve the dream.

1. Heller Rally in Chicago. Nice pics here

2. Oh, and Illinois generally likes bureaucracy and licenses rather than free people. When stationed there, I was told I needed to have a license for a muzzleloading blackpowder rifle…. oh good grief. Today, the bureaucratic solution is call boxes, like ones frequently seen on gun-free college campuses. Oh, but see the bureaucracy at work in Illinois rest stop here.
