Unhappy about new limits, gun makers urged to move to New Hampshire

"Firearms manufacturers upset over newly restrictive gun laws and proposals in their home states are getting a message from other places: Move here, where the climate is favorable to your products, and so are the tax codes. When the debate over gun laws reignited after the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., in December, critics of proposals to toughen state laws cautioned that gun manufacturers could move and take local jobs with them. And indeed, now lawmakers and residents in a few states are using restrictions on guns recently passed and proposed elsewhere as an opportunity to attract affected businesses." Continue reading →

Connecticut’s Gun Control: A Rush To Pass Laws That Couldn’t Have Prevented Tragedy

"The grab bag (PDF) of background checks, gun, ammunition and magazine restrictions, limitations on eligibility to own firearms and a new registry of 'weapon offenders' inconveniences people who had nothing to do with the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, and certainly would have had no impact on Adam Lanza's ability to commit that crime. But don't think anybody will get to point that out in a public hearing; the legislation is being sent directly to a vote through an emergency procedure that allows for no stops on the way."

New Wisconsin Gun Ban Doesn’t Apply To Lawmakers

"Lawmakers in Racine, Wisconsin voted yesterday to ban concealed weapons in city-owned buildings — except for themselves. The ordinance passed by a vote of 9 to 5 yesterday (April 3, 2013), but drew criticism from council members and area residents. 'When you deprive us of a constitutional right but then turn around and give it to yourselves – that is incomprehensible,' Racine resident Gary Dulek said. Several other people spoke out against that philosophy at the Common Council meeting Wednesday night. 'This is about elected officials who believe they’re above the law,' another attendee said."

Lead Sponsor Of Federal High Capacity Ban Was Unaware Magazines Could Be Reloaded

"CO Rep. Diana DeGette (D) didn’t seem to understand the obvious basics of how firearms work, all the while being a lead sponsor on a federal ban of high-capacity magazines. As you can see in the video above, the Congresswomen seems to think magazines and ammunition are somehow one and the same and that after their initial use will no longer exist. Responding to a citizens question about what he is to do now that he is at a disadvantage for having to change magazines, DeGette stated with a condescending smirk, 'The good news for you, you live in Denver. The [Denver Police Department] would be there within minutes.'" Continue reading →

Democrats push for $10K fine for gun owners without liability insurance

"A group of congressional Democrats has signed on to new legislation that would mandate liability insurance for all gun owners in the United States — and fine those who refuse to purchase it as much as $10,000. The Daily Caller reports that New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s Firearm Risk Protection Act says that all gun buyers — before they buy — purchase and show proof of 'a qualified liability insurance policy,' and that those caught owning a weapon without the insurance are subject to harsh fines."

The Colorado Shooter Was on Psycho Drugs

"The news is out. The killer, James Holmes, who dressed up as The Joker and shot up a movie theater full of people in Colorado, had been taking Zoloft, the same dangerous psychotropic drug that the Columbine killer, Eric Harris, had been taking. According to the information released by the judge in the case, Homes had also been taking a drug called Clonazepam. How long do we have to wait until there is a thorough investigation into the dangers these drugs pose to society?" Continue reading →

David Conrad Precinct Chair Tulsa County Endorses Amanda Teegarden

My name is David Conrad, chairman of Precinct 402 in Tulsa County. Amanda Teegarden made an important distinction to me years ago when she elucidated the importance of the policies of principled government rather than the weather vane of politicking. Amanda's actions prove her to be honest, rational, vigilant, reliable and strong. That is what makes a good leader. That is why she will be our next State GOP Chair. Amanda is a champion of liberty and sound policy in Oklahoma and deserves my endorsement. more info on Amanda Teegarden for OKGOP state chair

Angela Daniel Former District Committeewoman Pawnee County Endorses Amanda Teegarden

My name is Angela Daniel and I am the former district committeewoman, state committeewoman, vice chair and chair of Pawnee county, in that order. I am now in Creek county. Amanda was one of the first people I met when I became active in politics. She is one of the most informed people regarding the government's infringements on our liberties I have ever met. She has tirelessly and consistently lobbied our state legislature in defense of our freedoms, and has been instrumental in preventing many horrible pieces of legislation. I think Amanda has been more of an influence in state government than any other citizen in the state who does not hold a government office. She has always operated from the purest of motives, and I am honored to have the opportunity to vote for her for our next state chair. She has my full support. more info on Amanda Teegarden for OKGOP state chair
