Out here in America ... ;)

Something that still brings a smile to my face came from the filming pre-election of the big glad-handing dinner the NRA holds to 'vet' who will be "their" candidate. All the Republican hopefuls were there, and nearly all said the same basic (obligatory) thing, such as:

"Yes, I remember going hunting with my father..... blah."
"I remember, growing up, shooting tin cans with a .22 with my brother... blah."
"I'm not the guy that got shot by Dick Cheney....blah."
Et cetera, ad nauseum.

I got a big kick out of Fred Thompson's response at that dinner when he stepped to the podium and gave his take on the Second Amendment to the NRA mandarins:

"I own alot of guns. I'm not gonna tell you what kind, how many, or where they are. It's nobody else's business."

And that, was that.
:D

I did see that Pennsylvania has something in the works to retain rights within the Commonwealth. If the recent election is an indicator, I am concerned how the politicians will move on this.

Something that is coming to the surface is the medical/ health perspective. The Feds are applying pressure on the health care professionals to angle in on who has guns within the household.

One of the radio talk show hosts mentioned the VA being used as part of the mental health reporting requirements. Remember when the Defense spending was held up until they revised the wording concerning veterans ownership of firearms? Even though it was promised that no vet would ever have to give up their right to own a firearm, I see this coming back around.

Several PS members mentioned the danger of getting that PTSD designation; disability be damned.

Yes, I too see the kids being labeled if they live in a household with firearms.

Pennsylvania used to have signs that read "America Begins Here", but the Liberals in Jersey cried about it to the Feds.

Fred Thompson! He doesn't make enough money from the ever-present re-runs of "Law and Order" - and his Senate retirement... he has to shill for "Reverse Mortgages" on TV. To think, the clown ran for POTUS.

Yep, that's the one. But it was still the right answer. He's not hawking commemorative coins at 0300... yet.
:D

What about a civilian victim of a violent crime, who could undergo some level of post-traumatic stress & even receive some counseling over loss of family members in that crime or what happened to them, who decide that next time it'll be different and take steps toward owning the responsibility to protect themselves? Are they now ticking time bombs who become "prohibited persons?"

This is why the people screaming on the privacy front insist on having it that someone must be adjudicated as a threat for a reason. It is a terribly difficult blade with more than one edge, but "see something say something" medical information passed to the DoJ for a decision based on that bureaucrat's boss's position on keeping firearms out of the hands of the peasantry is not a good idea.

Once again, Chris Muir gets a twist on it.

Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (cspoa) has a running list of Sheriffs that have come forward concerning any pending Federal attempt to distort or impinge upon the 2nd Amendment.

Unsurprising that Western States lead the pack...

Currently 90 on the list. If you know any of them or are in their jurisdiction you should give a plug of support.

I wouldn't care if he was selling Shamwows from the Oval Office if he was POTUS, now.

I'd prefer if the current occupant would do that and leave the "leading" and "governing" to those who know how to do that.

I'm in on that, too.

LOL

It will be intersting to see if Obersturmbahnfuehrer "My officers will prone your law-abiding ass out on the ground" Flynn of the city's PD responds.

Wow, us Hoosiers are good for something besides growing corn, like preserving the second amendment!

"Gun law nullification passes unanimously"

I think there's an app for that now......;)
