Their first goal is registration, to know who has what. Mandatory background checks on private sales will accomplish registration. The progressives goal is to eliminate the private ownership of guns. As for the NRA, as a civil rights organization their duty is to inform their members who supports their rights. They study politicians voting records and inform their members. Why else would anyone be a member.

Parking spaces equals cars, many of which will likely use Schreiber's Bridge to leave their area.<br /><br />You would think that City Planners would recognize that another multi-story building is inappropriate adjacent to the Parkway. Or that the traffic from the development would have an adverse effect on the Bridge. Or that approving such a development will likely lead to a traffic light on MLK at Schreiber's Bridge, further diminishing MLK Boulevard's design as an easy way into and out of the city. Or that the area near the bridge routinely floods during heavy rains, which will cause traffic to snarl along Jefferson Street as those living in the new units (and their visitors) will be forced to use alternate routes during significant rain events.<br /><br />But all that seems to be little concern to the Planners, and to our appointed, interim Mayor, his Administration. It also seems to escape our rubber-stamping City Council, none of whom appeared (individually) at the meeting to object to the proposal, or have done anything collectively to adjust the zoning in that area that allows this travesty.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994452121248693342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-22433304792090568462019-02-13T10:18:40.119-05:002019-02-13T10:18:40.119-05:00Wouldn't it be fun to see somebody research an...Wouldn't it be fun to see somebody research and post the total number of federal, state and local (not to mention 'private') gun restrictions we live under?

The NRA like any other organisation has a right to engage constitutional and legislative issues. This they do very effectively and that's why the left has put a huge target on their backs. <br /><br />The only thing worse than a constitutional right to bear arms is a government that has the power to prevent private ownership of firearms. Don't doubt for a moment this is the goal of the anti gun left. As with their recently withdrawn GND they routinely reveal themselves as the radicals. The NRA and gun owners are not the problem.

The whole premis...Where do I start with this post? The whole premise of the post is built on the incorrect assumption that more gun regulations will make us safer. They don't.<br /><br />At best, the anti-gun laws offer a false sense of security. It's no coincidence that areas with the strictest gun control laws also have the highest murder rates. The law-abiding are stripped of their ability to defend themselves against criminals, making them easy prey.<br /><br />Most of the "common-sense gun control" proposals won't stop a single gun crime from occurring, and those who peddle such proposals know it. But it IS a slippery slope, since when that "solution" fails (as designed), the next (harsher) "solution" will then be proposed. The goal of these "gun safety" groups is the same - banning the legal ownership of firearms.<br /><br />There are already proposals in this country for such things as high taxes on ammunition, gun registration, and banning certain weapons based on the way they LOOK. Some of these radical proposals have already been implemented in certain areas of the country. So I find those who deny the slippery slope argument as somewhat detached from reality.<br /><br /><br />Many mass shooters have posted on social media well before they commit their acts. Maybe we should require someone from the government to review all social media posts and mass e-mails before they are posted. Or maybe licenses for bloggers and newspapers, so the government can decide if they're a threat or not.<br /><br />Most Americans would rightly recoil at such proposals, since freedom of speech is a Constitutionally-protected right. Ironically, some of those same Americans are blind to the harm in restricting our Second Amendment rights.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994452121248693342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-23962755340616079782019-02-13T07:59:05.198-05:002019-02-13T07:59:05.198-05:00With all the crazy crap --- Alexandria Ocasio-Cort...With all the crazy crap --- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's pie-in-the-sky, unrealistic, economy destroying "Green New Deal", for example --- the extreme and completely unhinged Democrat Party has been putting forth lately, it is more important than ever to remember why the Founding Fathers thought it was imperative for the citizens to have the right to bear arms and defend themselves : so the citizenry would have the ability to deal with an overbearing, overreaching government which seeks to oppress the citizenry's precious freedoms and liberties, of course!<br /><br />Vegan Presidential candidate Corey Booker's stated desire to fundamentally transform American dietary habits, to speak nothing Booker's hidden desire to slaughter the United States' lucrative meat industry, certainly can not be doing very much to inspire much faith in Democrat Party politicians these days.<br /><br />The Open Borders Policy being pursued by Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Schumer and the rest of the Democrat Crime Family, um, er, ah, Party, also certainly can not being doing very much to motivate many people to want to repeal the Second Amendment, either.ironpigpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792492001296361796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-21884149085577936652019-02-13T07:52:02.464-05:002019-02-13T07:52:02.464-05:00The NRA represents firearms manufacturers.
