Yesterday, the US Senate voted on the amendments to the S. 649, the gun control bill that you have most certainly heard almost non-stop media coverage about for the past month or so. We’re not completely out of the woods yet, but all of the amendments to the bill failed, which is a good thing. After the voting, President Barrack Hussein Obama threw a temper tantrum at the Whitehouse, continuing to use the worn out …

Online retailer Cheaper Than Dirt!the online retailer most recently known for jacking their prices sky high, and stopping the sales of modern sporting rifles after Sandy Hook  has released a post on their blog called “I Support Toomey-Manchin and You Should Too!”. This smells of propaganda to me. They go through portions of the bill, and only point out the “good” parts, neglecting to tell us that under this bill, “online gun sales” has an …

On the Reason blog, a look at the actual text of the “compromise” to not require a background check for personal sales: [T]he bill requires that all sales at gun shows be handled by federally licensed dealers, who are required to conduct background checks no matter where they sell firearms … The bill imposes the same requirement on all sales “pursuant to an advertisement, posting, display or other listing on the Internet or in a publication by …

A friend sent me a link to this article a few minutes ago, and I thought it was an interesting read. On one hand, I like the idea that we may expand some of our rights that have been taken away previously, like selling guns across state lines and whatnot, but on the other hand, I don’t believe we should be compromising our rights. Not one inch. What do you think, did Alan Gottlieb “snooker” …

Earlier today, Sen. Burr talked about his vote on the Senate gun registration control bill with Bill LuMaye from WPTF. You may remember Mr. LuMaye as speaker from the GRNC Freedom Rally earlier this year. It’s worth a listen, but don’t expect Burr to get into a real deep discussion about it. Bill LuMaye talks with Sen. Burr on Gun Control vote. Sean mentioned over on his site that he isn’t worked up about this, …

Last week Sen. Burr pledged support of the Rand Paul fillibuster in the Senate. Well, it appears over the past couple of days that he has decided to change his mind, and vote along with Democrats like Harry Reid, and Diane Feinstein. Just minutes ago, Mr. Burr, the supposed pro-gun Senator from NC voted to advance the gun registration universal background check bill in the Senate.
