Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 9:48AM by Bonzer Wolf In California, the general response to gun ownership is an automatic “no,” and the Stanford campus is no exception. On its website, Stanford University Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) states that “all [firearms] are prohibited on Stanford Campus … except for sworn police officers,” and California has mandated absolute firearm bans on all college campuses.
As 5’ 3” female, Devon Zuegel points out in the Standford Review these policies assume that guns are fundamentally harmful and ban possession of firearms by law abiding citizens. Ms. Zuegel points out that gun bans discriminate against women, “I am going to need a better tool than my fists if I get grabbed one night on the way home from my physics lab.”
Absolute bans are ineffective, as criminals carry weapons regardless of their legality. Worse, Gun-Free Zones are uniquely attractive targets, as a monopoly of force is in the hands of whoever is willing to break the law, and police response is often too little and too late. 
Seung-Hui Cho shot his first two victims at Virginia Tech in 2007, the police unsuccessfully searched for the shooter for two hours. Cho remained in public spaces on campus for that entire time and even went to the post office to mail writings and recordings to NBC News. He then walked to a building of lecture halls at the opposite end of campus, chained the three main entrance doors shut, and killed 30 people in a second attack lasting roughly 10 minutes.
The rampage ended with Cho’s suicide. With over 200 rounds left, “he was well prepared to continue,” said State Police Superintendent William Flaherty. Unarmed, the victims had no hope but to make barricades and wait for the police to arrive, which happened well after the massacre was over.
The shootings at Columbine and Sandy Hook also ended in the perpetrators’ suicide, not police intervention. According to a U.S. Secret Service study into 37 school shootings, “Over half of the attacks were resolved or ended before law enforcement responded to the scene. In these cases, the attacker was stopped by faculty or fellow students, decided to stop shooting on his own, or killed himself.”
It is wrong to disarm an individual when effective protection cannot be provided in compensation, and relying on police officers and security guards has proven to be insufficient. When targets of violence, people have the right to options beyond waiting for help to come.
It is generally agreed that self-defense is a valid response to violence. However, when faced with an armed attacker in any situation, fighting back with nothing but your fists is the worst option. Victims need a tool that can level the playing field against all sorts of attackers.
According to a 1997 study of National Crime Victimization Survey data by PhD criminologist Gary Kleck, “robbery and assault victims who used a gun to resist were less likely to be attacked or to suffer an injury than those who did not resist at all or those who used any other methods of self-protection.” The probability of serious injury to a female victim is 2.5 times greater when no resistance is offered and 4 times greater when resistance is offered without a gun. The same study showed similar trends for male victims, though the magnitude of the statistics was diminished.
Progressives will always try to usurp the Second Amendment because they are statist subversives. We the people will continue to legally resist the assault on our rights and our safety. America, will continue to STAND UP AND FIGHT for our civil rights!
I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
Friday, April 26, 2013 at 8:06AM by Bonzer Wolf Progressives will NEVER give up on banning civilian ownership of firearms. See UK, Canada and Australia for details.
A week after the Senate failed to come up with 60 votes to pass more gun control measures Crazy Joe Biden regrouped with gun control advocates yesterday and reassured them the White House isn’t giving up the fight.
Biden made “a real commitment” to keep pushing for more gun control laws, said Pia Carusone, executive director of Americans for Responsible Solutions, a gun control PAC run by former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband Mark Kelly.
Biden’s message to the groups was, “It’s the beginning. It’s not the end,” said Carusone. “The tone of the meeting was very positive. There is a collective sense that we are on the right side of history.”
Yesterday the New York Times reported that talks to revive gun control legislation are under way on Capitol Hill. Drawing on the lessons from battles in the 1980s and ’90s over the Brady Bill, which failed in Congress several times before ultimately passing, gun control supporters believe they can prevail.
According to the NY Times, gun control groups and Obama allies are already turning an eye to 2014, plotting payback for senators who voted against expanded background checks. Giffords’ group is even prepared to run ads against Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who is a close friend of Giffords but who also voted against background checks. 
Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, only one out of 22 senators on the East Coast north of Virginia who voted against the Manchin-Toomey-Schumer gun control amendment has been the target lately of some of the most furious lobbying by gun control proponents. The NY Times says local newspapers have been inundated with letters to the editor denouncing her vote, and the gun grabbers have run radio ads saying she “ignored the will of the people”.
The gun grabbers will never give up and gun owners (in at least 40 states) are willing to waive their Second Amendment rights and give up their guns. This fight will play out in the 2014 mid-term elections. Supporters of Second Amendment civil rights, including Democrats who voted against Manchin-Toomey-Schumer need to be supported with our time and treasure, to defeat the gun banners.
Senators who supported the Schumer/Bloomberg backed amendment, including Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) MUST be opposed and defeated.
According to the Progressive Propaganda publication, the Huffington Post, several senators have confided to Crazy Joe Biden that they are feeling the backlash from constituents.
Those senators told him that they needed to be assured there was adequate support for expanded gun control to pass because they did not want to take such a great political risk on something that was doomed to fail. Those Senators are vulnerable and MUST be defeated to protect our Second Amendment civil rights.
We can not afford to let our guard down for a minute. The Progressives are coming for our guns.
“I think we’re going to bring back that bill and address it,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who has been leading the charge for action in the wake of the Newtown shootings. “It may be months, it may be half a year. But the Majority Leader seems committed to bringing it back.”
Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 9:45AM by Bonzer Wolf Do you really want to put your safety and security in the hands of these bureaucrats? We live in a Constitutional Republic where our inalienable rights are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. If you live in one of the few states where your rights are being usurped by the state government consider moving to one of the free states.

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 12:33AM by Bonzer Wolf Alan Gottlieb is the Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, a Board Member of the American Conservative Union, President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, President of the American Political Action Committee, President of NoInternetTax.org, and President of KeepAndBearArms.com.
The Second Amendment Foundation is responsible for numerous winning Second Amendment court cases. Alan Gura of SAF won both the Heller and McDonald gun rights cases.
As the chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Gottlieb emailed nearly four dozen gun activists with an explanation of the proposed Manchin-Toomey legislation.
“If you read the bill you can see all the advances for our cause that it contains like interstate sales of handguns, veteran gun rights restoration, travel with firearms protection, civil and criminal immunity lawsuit protection if you sell a gun plus more.”
Gottlieb advocated supporting the legislation in his email but later withdrew his support when Chuck Schumer struck gun rights restoration funding from the bill. 
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb advised The Examiner by that, “Our support for this measure was contingent on several key provisions, the cornerstone of which was a rights restoration provision that is not on the schedule for consideration
“But it appears the Democratic leadership in the Senate was opposed to letting this important consideration come up for a vote,” he said. “We told everyone including a number of senators, that while there are many pro-gun rights provisions added to the main body of the bill, our support was contingent on this additional amendment coming to the floor. When we say something, we mean it.”
“Senators Manchin and Toomey are not to blame for this,” Gottlieb stated, “as they have been negotiating in good faith throughout this process. But Schumer and other anti-gun Democrats are continuing their campaign of demagoguery in order to permanently disqualify as many Americans as possible from being able to exercise their fundamental rights under the Second Amendment.
Gottlieb said this “is not a reflection against Senators Joe Manchin or Pat Toomey, who are staunch Second Amendment advocates, and I want to thank them for all of their efforts to include as many protections for our gun rights as possible.”
He predicted that if the Manchin-Toomey alternate now was defeated, “Democrats in the Senate, led by Harry Reid, have only themselves to blame.”
I’m a member of CCRKBA and donate regularly to the Second Amendment Foundation, which works tirelessly to protect, defend and restore lost Second Amendment civil rights. I did not support the alternate legislation for many reasons. David Codrea wrote about my primary reason for opposing the substitute amendment:
Finally, here is the most serious warning. I work with the federal government on at least a semi-regular basis, and when not, I am doing things that follow federal regulation, even though highly technical (the specific nature of what I do is not the subject and won’t be discussed).
For most people who never work with federal agencies and departments, ignorance is bliss. But for those who do, they know that the nasty little secret about the federal government has to do with lawmaking by regulation.
Laws are passed by the Senate and Congress. But after laws pass, thousands of lawyers inside the beltway go to work writing regulations based on those laws, or not, using the law as a pretext for further regulation that Congress didn’t specifically intend. At times, Congress has even had to pass laws undoing regulations because the regulations don’t meet the intent of the law, and yet the executive branch won’t stop enforcing that regulation (or class of regulations).
Regulation is passed merely by entering them into the federal register, allowing a waiting time for public comments (which are nothing but a chance afforded to the authors of the regulations to ignore them or write sarcastic rebuttals), and then after the waiting period, it takes on the force of law including prosecution, fines and imprisonment for failure to follow them.
This happens every day, all over the nation, and in the DOT, NRC, EPA, DOJ, ATF, DHS, and other departments and agencies that the reader cannot even name and didn’t know existed. Any law giving the executive branch the authority to further regulate firearms will be an opportunity for abuse, overreach and exploitation.
In short, I oppose any new gun control laws and will continue to oppose passing more gun control laws as long as current laws are neither enforced nor prosecuted by the federal government. Ted Cruz proposed legislation, which provided funding to ATF to enforce the current laws, but the legislation was defeated by the Democrat majority.
But I find it unconscionable that some Second Amendment rights activists personally attacked Gottlieb, some going so far as to write anti-Semitic comments about him in a number of gun rights blogs.
These bloggers did more to hurt the advocacy of Second Amendment civil rights than Gottlieb did by supporting the legislation. Please, STOP IT. You are doing more harm than good.
For the record, I support Constitutional carry and oppose “mother may I” laws that usurp inalienable Second Amendment rights. But there is never a place in the debate for personal and bigoted attacks on anyone, especially Alan Gottlieb, who has done so much to advance Second Amendment rights.
