Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “‘The Nation” will not be the organ of any party, sect, nor body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and misrepresentation by which so much political writing of the day is marred.” ~ “The Nation’s” founding prospectus, 1865
Oh, that our modern media would even begin to adhere to such a motto!
A National CCW Reciprocity Bill has passed the House, and is currently headed to the Senate, where hysterical Democrats and their media lackeys, deriding the bill as “Apocalypse USA” (or is it “Armageddon” this time?), are closing ranks to destroy this legislation.
Democrats smugly made all the same dire predictions, time and again, when “shall-issue” state CCW legislation was passed, state-by-state. They screamed even louder when laws were expanded to include “Preemption,” “Take-Your-Gun-to-Work,” and “No-Duty-to-Retreat” provisions. And, when the “wild-west-bloodbath” they solemnly (and ever so self-righteously) predicted, never happened (in fact, violent crime went down, every time), Democrats suddenly developed ecumenical amnesia!
They apparently think the rest of us did too!
Democrats still reflexively attack, without exception, any and all pro-Second Amendment legislation. They always have.
Democrats should more appropriately be fearing both their congressional colleagues, and their sleazy media cheerleaders and apologists, who are being outed in droves as the serial women-abusers they are (and have been for decades, probably longer), instead of illogically fearing their fellow citizens, who desire simply to be able to lawfully own and carry concealed firearms in order to protect themselves and their loved ones from violent criminals.
Democrats seeking reelection need to worry less about shielding and protecting detestable criminals, less about “regulating” good citizens, less about characterizing themselves as “so pure,” and more about simply allowing good citizens to take reasonable measures to protect themselves.
“All truth passes through three stages: (1) Ridicule, (2) Violent opposition, (3) Acceptance as ‘self-evident’” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

“It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace–but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me… Read more »

@jh45gun: “No it does not REQUIRE a CCW/CCH. Do like Kansas, Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming [and others] and get your state to adopt Constitutional Carry. HR 38 says ” OR ” when it says have a license OR be a resident of a state that does not require a license . Until 2010 the U.S. Second Amendment was not a restriction on state laws. HELLER & McDONALD fixed that and now the Congress can pass HR 38 in order to enforce teh Fourteenth Amendment. You can look them all up.” That’s nice Jim, but for those of us who have… Read more »
ALl I know is that, historically, our Founding Forefathers intended We the People to always be able to keep and bear arms, and “bear” means “to carry”. It’s that simple. In my honest opinion, almost, if not all gun regs, are actually unconstitutional. That being said, I think most of us can live without a lot of people having access to full auto weaponry( machine guns). But everything else, we should be allowed to own, None of this banning crap for semi auto.s handguns, “extended” mags, etc. That’s all B.S., because Big Brother still has much more serious firepower than… Read more »
I cannot rightfully believe that it actually takes two days to get your comments posted here at Ammoland. I signed-in at the NRA members page right now. Letting them know exactly (AGAIN) how I feel about this. I’m glad I decided to go year-to-year. I almost was suckered by the Lifetime Membership or above. weeeew!!!!
