Liberals should love the 2nd amendment.  But do they?  Look, this show is not about politics, it’s about guns and gun rights.  But tune in, because I analyze a very well written article in The Daily Kos by Kaili Joy Gray.  Most of you probably don’t read that blog, but this was sent to me in an email and the more I read it, the more I liked it, so I felt obliged to talk about it.  That’s segment 1, then in segment 2, I launch The Freedom Raffle.  I’m giving away some really good stuff, get a ticket!

Highlights:

  • What exactly does “The People” mean?
  • Why do Liberals ignore “The People” in the 2nd amendment, but not other amendments?
  • What exactly did the writers of The Constitution mean by a Militia?
  • Is the 2nd Amendment about Revolution?
  • Exposing why guns is a political issue for Liberals, not a rights issue.
  • FREEDOM RAFFLE! (Giving away a Ruger LCP!)

Full Auto Weapons, RBCD Ammo and Oklahoma SB 1685.  The is the first telephone interview on The Handgun World Show.  In this episode I called up a friend of mine who want’s his name to be anonymous, but we discuss the Oklahoma SB 1685 which would join 8 other states in making firearms that are manufactured in Oklahoma exempt from Federal regulation.  There are many differing opinions on this subject.  I try to bring forth all viewpoints as I can so that there is something for everyone on this show.  We also discussed RBCD ammo and fully automatic weapons and what is an assault rifle?

If you would like to connect with other like minded gun owners, please feel free to join me and other listeners on the forum at Today’s Survival Show (another podcast of mine.)  We have an excellent forum there, click here.

Gun Control Opponents Hope to Reshape Handgun Laws

Gun control opponents hope to reshape handgun laws

Examiner Staff Writer
January 3, 2010

Virginia lawmakers have filed bills to abolish the state’s one-handgun-per-month rule and allow college faculty to carry a concealed weapon on campus. (Examiner file photo)

Gun control opponents in Virginia’s legislature are proposing what would amount to a vast roll-back of handgun regulations, hoping to capitalize on a friendlier administration in Richmond to undo long-standing firearms restrictions.

Conservative lawmakers have filed a flurry of bills including abolishing the state’s one-handgun-per-month rule and allowing college faculty to carry a concealed weapon on campus.

Despite the arrival of Republican Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell, who has an A rating from the National Rifle Association and campaigned on a pro-Second Amendment platform, none of the bills necessarily will have an easy time getting passed when the General Assembly goes into session later this month. Proponents of stronger gun laws have become much more vocal and focused since the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre and are likely to oppose the measures alongside many legislators.

Del. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Woodbridge, is proposing to do away with the Gov. Doug Wilder-era policy that limits a person to buying a single gun a month, arguing the rule “has run its course.”

“I don’t think it’s been a very effective policy,” Lingamfelter said. “It hasn’t done much to prevent crime; it has done a lot to affect commerce.”

Del. Mark Cole, R-Fredericksburg, has filed legislation that would legalize bringing guns into a courthouse “when the courthouse is being used for non-judicial activities,” according to an online summary.

Del. Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, is proposing that full-time faculty members at state universities be allowed to carry concealed handguns into the classroom, provided they have a permit.

Del. Charles Carrico, R-Galax, authored a bill that would allow permits for concealed handguns to be renewed through the mail. Another of Carrico’s bills would change the penalty for bringing a firearm onto school property from a felony to a misdemeanor.

The legislature convenes Jan. 13, and McDonnell is set to be inaugurated three days later. McDonnell replaces Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine, who has repeatedly vetoed efforts to weaken gun laws. The incoming governor has yet to roll out his legislative agenda.
