Vice President Cheney Signs On
To Congressional Amicus Curiae Brief:
Affirms Unequivocal Support Of Second
Amendment As An Individual Right
Today, in his capacity as President of the United States Senate, Vice President Cheney signed on to the congressional amicus curiae brief affirming the individual rights view of the Second Amendment. As Americans, we are grateful and fortunate to have a friend of freedom in the Vice President.
NRA And U.S. Lawmakers Join D.C. V. Heller Plaintiffs In Filing Briefs With U.S. Supreme Court: On Thursday, February 7, NRA and the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund submitted an amicus curiae brief to the United States Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller. This “friend of the court” brief supports a lower federal appeals court decision holding that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, and asserts that the D.C. bans on handguns, on carrying firearms within the home, and on possession of loaded or operable firearms for self-defense violate that fundamental right.

COLORADO: Update on Pending Firearm Legislation On Wednesday, February 6 the House Judiciary Committee voted 5 to 4 to defeat House Bill 1066, sponsored by State Representative Cory Gardner (R-63). This “Castle Doctrine” legislation would have extended self-defense protections beyond the home to include businesses. In spite of this unfortunate loss, three anti-freedom bills were also defeated in the Colorado legislature this week thanks to the activism of NRA members. On Wednesday, February 6, the House Agriculture, Livestock, & Natural Resources Committee voted down two bills, House Bill 1137 and House Bill 1096. Finally, House Bill 1190 was withdrawn by its sponsor.
Mandatory Storage Bill Sent to Senate Appropriations Committee On Monday, February 4 the Senate Committee on State, Veterans & Military Affairs voted 3-2 to send Senate Bill 49 to the Senate Appropriations Committee. SB49 requires mandatory storage of all firearms. This legislation would force adults to put all their firearms under lock and key or face an undetermined misdemeanor if that firearm is later used in a suicide or crime. This dangerous bill renders homeowners defenseless and gives criminals a clear advantage in home invasions. Please contact the members of the committee and respectfully urge them to defeat this dangerous legislation. Contact information can be found here.

You will have to read this entire story to fully understand the obvious hatred that this man has for western society, and the United States in particular. Well Mister Aftab, get a clue:
-
Those “innocent” Japanese were actively supporting mass killings all across Asia.
-
We do have people on the ground in Pakistan, and there is the very real possibility of a Tali ban style regime taking over the nation.
-
Israel exists, get used to it. Hit them with nuclear weapons expect retaliation.
-
Israel has not threatened anyone with annihilation. Muslim nations have threatened Israel, and the United States with annihilation on many occasions.
-
What the hell would we, as in the USA, want your countries weapons for? We have plenty of our own.

This is an interesting study to be sure. How much is practical and easily doable remains to be seen. It is in PDF so you will need a reader. I do agree with a lot that is in there, such as immigration issues. But the parts that give more government money (taxes that you and I pay) are anathema.

Those that have read this blog and other forums that I have participated in over the years know that I am an unabashed free marketer. How did I get that way? By education that is how. Two college courses in particular had a tremendous impact on me. If you have the time, and enthusiam, read these texts in order to gain a solid foundation in economic theory.

Perhaps no other person that lived during the most recent century has had more social impact than Ayn Rand. Her writings changed the way that people looked at everything from politics to philosophy.
Ayn Rand (IPA: /ˈaɪn ˈrænd/, February 2 [O.S. January 20] 1905 – March 6, 1982), born Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum (Russian: Алиса Зиновьевна Розенбаум), was a Russian-born American novelist and philosopher.[1] She is widely known for her best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism.
She was an uncompromising advocate of rational individualism and laissez-faire capitalism, and vociferously opposed socialism, altruism, and other contemporary philosophical trends, as well as religion. Her influential and often controversial ideas have attracted both enthusiastic admirers and scathing denunciation.
