CCRKBA: "Urge Congress to Adopt Senate Version of Patriot Act Reauthorization"?

How can I? I haven't read the whole thing, and I'm not sure I'm qualified to know what all the implications are anyway.

Yes, quite possibly there are some rollbacks on presumed authorities. But when you talk about putting "checks on the government’s ability to comb through an individual’s financial, medical, business, library, gun purchases or other sales records," or "sneak and peak searches," I gotta first wonder how closely the Constitution is being adhered to.

If CCRKBA is going to urge us to call our senators to pass something, I think it's incumbent on them to give us a comnprehensive pro/con implications analysis of each section of the bill.

People need to be educated about this before they can be expected to blindly support it.

The Bear Necessities

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.” — Timothy Treadwell, setting up his video camera inches from a grizzly bear.

“Grunt. Snort. Crunch. Snap. Munch. Gulp.” — Grizzly, loosely translated as, “I love you, too.”

"The Bear Necessities," my October Rights Watch column for GUNS Magazine, is now online.

"I'm the Better Hunter/Sportsman!"

"No, I'M the better hunter/sportsman!"

Sounds like neither one of these boys realize it ain't about hunting and sporting.

"The real difference is I know a shotgun is used for something besides starting a golf tournament."

Is this guy serious?

Let's cut to the chase:

Allen, Eric:

Do you believe your constituents have an unalienable right to carry whatever firearm they please wherever they please, including select fire, openly or concealed as they see fit, without anybody's damn permission?

Yes or no?

Because some of us don't give a damn about you shooting pigs and whitetail deer.

Jim Brady Calls For End Of Gun Violence

What is this guy, Miss America calling for "world peace"?

If wishes were fishes...

These people are like children. They have no business imposing themselves on adults.

"The Officer's Gun Went Off"

All by its own self?

Honor Among Thieves

Thieves have stolen a handgun on display at an international conference on warfare in the 21st century.

The Heckler and Koch .40 calibre USP semi-automatic pistol went missing from a locked display cabinet at the Gold Coast conference.

Ironically, the conference was not open to the public for security reasons.
