Since the Tucson tragedy, anti-gun Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) has been hovering like a vulture, waiting to pick the bones of the victims for political advantage.

Now he has his chance.

The same Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization which provided a vote on the repeal of ObamaCare may well be the vehicle for a series of gun control proposals.

Right now, no one knows which amendments will be offered. Democratic leaders like Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) are threatening to offer anti-gun amendments, and pro-gun Senators like Tom Coburn (R-OK) are considering amendments to protect gun rights.

Now, it's entirely possible that senators from both sides will simply retreat to their own corners. In fact, GOA's sources inside the Senate indicate that gun amendments to the FAA bill are unlikely at this point, but there's no way can we count on that -- and risk being caught unprepared.

There are three amendments which Lautenberg and Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) have been nursing since Tucson.

The first would limit semi-automatic magazines to 10 rounds, in a reprise of the Clinton ban.

The second would effectively shut down all gun shows. It would do this by sending any gun show promoter to prison for up to two years if a SINGLE attendee were not informed of his Brady Law obligations. No one would dare sponsor a gun show under these circumstances.

The third anti-gun amendment would allow the Obama administration to seize guns from anyone they choose to place on a "watch list." Millions and millions of pro-gun supporters could find their names on an ObamaList with no due process -- and no way to get their names removed. Please note that this administration has already advised law enforcement to treat supporters of the Constitution and gun rights as possible domestic terrorists!

ACTION: Contact your two senators. Ask them to support any pro-gun amendments, and definitely insist they vote against the Lautenberg/Durbin amendments to ban semi-automatic magazines, shut down gun shows, and create a "no guns list" of Second Amendment activists. You can click on the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center to send your senators a pre-written message.

Rachel Madcow Incapable Of Detecting Satire

"The Internet’s finest satirists hooked a big fish in the media world last night. In an embarrassing segment on her MSNBC show, Rachel Maddow slammed conservatives for attacking President Obama’s Egypt policies. Her targets included Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, former ambassador to the UN John Bolton and Stephenson Billings at ChristWire.org. Only problem is Stephenson Billings is not a real person. He’s a fictional byproduct of a website that also warns readers that the Xbox Kinect is a terrorist training tool and the Japanese have created scary robot babies which “threaten humanity."

Request From Representative Walter Jones

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."

Dear Friend, I would like your input on questions to ask at an upcoming hearing on the Federal Reserve’s money printing! On Wednesday, February 9th, the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology is holding a hearing titled “Can Monetary Policy Really Create Jobs?” The subcommittee oversees the Federal Reserve, and as Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee under Chairman Ron Paul, I will be there to ask questions and demand answers regarding the employment problems facing the people of the 3rd District of North Carolina and across this nation. The Federal Reserve has been printing massive amounts of money as part of a policy they call “Quantitative Easing”. In fact, the Fed is on track to print roughly $2 trillion over the last two years. The Fed’s money printing has been driving up prices for business and working families, while it continues to bail out Wall Street. The people of Eastern North Carolina are struggling at the grocery store and the gas pump and I think it is time to hold the Fed accountable. Printing money to drive up prices is killing consumers, and is no way to create jobs. This is why I want to hear from you. I am asking the people of the 3rd District to tell me what questions or concerns that they would like asked or expressed during that hearing. While I may not be able to ask all of them, I will utilize as many as I can in the time that I am allotted in next week’s hearing. Please visit my website and send me an email with your thoughts and questions for the witnesses at next week’s hearing. Sincerely, J Walter B. Jones Member of Congress (NC-03) Congressman Ron Paul is interviewed on Congressman Walter Jones show. ========= March 2007. NC Rep. Walter B. Jones Interviews Ron Paul

VMI Celebrates Muslim Invasion, Brutal 781-year Occupation Of Spain

"Stonewall Jackson* is rolling over in his grave."

*As is Billy.

(My brother-in-law, Billy at VMI. He graduated without a single demerit as did Robert E. Lee from West Point. Actually this isn't surprising since VMI just invited Morris $leeze to speak there at a mandatory event.BT)



"Next month his beloved Virginia Military Institute will be convening a celebration commemorating the 1300th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Spain under the Muslim warlord Tariq ibn Ziyad in 711 A.D."

Reza Aslan is scheduled to speak on a panel entitled “‘Al-Andalus’ – an ageless Model of Tolerance“, but it is doubtful that Aslan and his co-panelists will be discussing the widespread persecution of Christians and Jews under Muslim rule that led to the establishment of an entirely new class of Roman Catholic martyrs.

No word if VMI’s World War II commemoration will be entitled “Germany meets Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Belgium, France, Norway, The Netherlands and Russia”. The rest HERE.

Ron Paul To Ask Fed Why After Trillions In Free Money, Unemployment Is Still Sky High

"Nobody has ever argued that the government deficit-spending and all the rest of the heroic, last-ditch, pull-out-all-the-stops monetary excesses would not make statistics of economic activity blip upward. The argument is whether or not it will eventually destroy the economy. I say it does. The rise in the price of gold says it does. The decline in the dollar says it does. All of recorded economic history says it does."
-- Richard Daughty (aka The Mogambo Guru)

" In my view we are now experiencing the bust that inevitably results from the misallocation of capital and human resources in a period of artificially cheap credit. It is important to understand the Federal Reserve’s role in creating today’s unemployment crisis, while also highlighting that high unemployment and low economic growth can persist even in the face of tremendous monetary inflation.”
