Guns in the News....
"Living in California is nuts," this author says on his blog....Don Surber has listed the privileged citizens, civilians, that get to have a CCW in Santa Clara County. There are 49 of them. 64 more are in the category of government officials...judges, law enforcement etc. No list of their names, but just note that it makes 113 people in this County of 1,781,642 residents that have been allowed their right to defend themselves and their loved ones. "What is wrong with this picture," as the popular saying goes? What is wrong is that we the people have allowed our civil rights to be negotiated away, falling prey to those who successfully frame the issue to make the gun the culprit rather than the criminal who utilizes it for evil purposes.

Concerns about the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) due to be finalized next summer are surfacing steadily now, something in the news every day, almost. We who hold the Second Amendment dear are not duped into thinking that individuals will not be impacted by such a treaty. Secrecy of the ATT process is most suspicious as the Preparatory Committee's "Draft Paper" are available only by Non Governmental Organizations, not official sources. 2008 and 2009 U.N. resolutions called for stringent standards on "domestic ownership, sales, and transfers." Similar language appears in the 2011 version.

Not surprising then, new legislation that would strip U.S funding from the United Nations has been introduced in Congress and is gathering co-sponsors and support. Illinois Representitive Joe Walsh is the author and the legislation was submitted on Dec. 7, 2011. Gun Owners who have no use for the U.N. are solidily behind this. So far none of the co-sponsors are Democrat. What does that tell us? We know there are individual pro-gun Democrat legislators in Congress, but where are they? Perhaps kneeling to the party line. And in an election year, at that!

Canada is saying, "Good riddance to the long-gun registry" and looks forward to it being gone by Christmas. The exorbenant cost of the registry, coupled up with its total inability to be effect in any kind of criminal or crime control has led to this place of getting rid of this boondoggle legislation. Look for California to experience the same thing....exorbenant cost, ineffective crime control, and red-faced embarrassment in the future. California Governor Brown just signed into law a long -gun registry.

The scandalous ATF Operation called Fast and Furious is big news again since December 8, when the committee again heard testimony from Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder wants us to believe he did not know the operation was happening. What else doesn't he know? He has lied under oath...that is established. At least one Presidential candidate is calling for criminal charges against Holder. Americans may overlook a disastorous operation, but they don't overlook lying and denying!

Concealed and unconcealed guns are at issue in California now. Concealed Carry Permits are available, or not, at the whim of a County Sheriff who determines who has good cause and who doesn't, and public carry of unloaded guns is over as of January 1, 2012. So now a petition to ease these restrictions on concealed carry has been approved by the Secretary of State. Look for petitions to sign as more than half a million signatures will be needed to qualify for the 2012 ballot.
