The Second Amendment Foundation needs your help. As someone intimately involved in the gun culture, I’m asking for a personal favor. Will you link to our site from yours?

We’re seeking to build our presence on the web. A larger web presence can increase our donor base and help us keep up with the big budgets of the anti-gunners. We rely primarily on grassroots donations to fund our gun rights lawsuits. This project is crucial to our continued success. We’ve been making a lot of progress lately and we want to keep our momentum.

Below are some images with associated html code we have produced for you to use on your site.

Here’s a couple of images:

Hell yeah:

Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas), who wants to abolish the Federal Reserve, could end up overseeing it as part of the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives.

Paul is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology on the House Financial Services Committee, which has oversight for the Fed, the U.S. Mint and U.S. interaction with the World Bank, Politico points out.

Richard Burgess is making a push for it. And getting arrested by police who don’t know the law.

Or, you know, waiting for a bus. Police ask man to leave bus stop and he doesn’t, since he’s waiting for a bus. They arrest him and take his gun and license. So, the next day, he does it again with the same results. That’s right. Loitering at a bus stop, let it sink in. Same bus stop he uses every day. But this is the part that struck out at me:

Police think that Solomon was being insolent and used poor judgment, including by showing up armed at the same bus stop at which he was arrested the previous day.

“If he’s that defiant, should this guy have a gun?” said Sgt. Ray Evers, a police spokesman. “The most uncommon human trait is common sense. He’s not using good, adult judgment.”

So, he was arrested for contempt of cop?

Jesse Fox Mayshark has an article in the local alt weekly on just that. It’s a good piece, light on hysteria that I expect from an alt weekly and Jesse. One quibble:

On one side are people who don’t own, carry, or want guns. Whether they’ve studied the issue closely or not, they tend to believe that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has something to do with state militias and little to do with a personal right to firearms.

The collective rights mythology has been rejected by all three branches of government and public opinion. It is a myth and always has been. Even in its heyday, that myth was not supported by significant numbers of people. And the Brady Campaign wiped all references to that creation science from its webpage. I’m guessing that, in East Tennessee, if you asked 10 people about the second amendment not a single one would yammer on about state militias.

The Firearm Blog reports Sig is coming out with their Sig556 in 7.62×39. Very cool It’s basically an AK anyway.

John Richardson notes some procedural things in the case.

In FL:

A Tampa TV station wants to do a 4-minute point/counterpoint piece on open carry, but they are having a hard time finding someone who is pro 2A but anti open carry. All of the anti-2A people they have found have been nut balls! They called police agencies in the Tampa area but no one is anti open carry!

That is cool. It’s not $2K cool. But it’s cool

David Kopel: The Second Amendment’s Great Election Night

Joe is looking at slogans for Boomershoot.

AZ man arrested in DC with guns in his vehicle. He looked suspicious. My guess is he’s a tourist and just had his firearms in his vehicle like he does back home.

Heh.

In DC:

[F]rom the Court’s reasoning [in Heller], it logically follows that the right to keep and bear arms extends to the possession of handgun ammunition in the home; for if such possession could be banned (and not simply regulated), that would make it “impossible for citizens to use [their handguns] for the core lawful purpose of self-defense.” By the same token, given the obvious connection between handgun ammunition and the right protected by the Second Amendment, we are hard-pressed to see how a flat ban on the possession of such ammunition in the home could survive heightened scrutiny of any kind. We therefore conclude that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to possess ammunition in the home that is coextensive with the right to possess a usable handgun there.

It’s not all good, though. Seems they’d be OK with a ban on ammo for which you do not have a registered gun.

A memorandum here. Looks like Embody’s challenge to the carry laws is getting some attention. The AG says the challenge based on constitutionality isn’t gonna fly.

How can someone stumble, falter and win with a 3 to 1 margin? The spin from the local press regarding guns is amusing. They really don’t get it.

No doubt, the Brady Campaign will declare this a victory:

An amendment to the Kansas Constitution that was drafted to declare a person’s right to own guns for any lawful purpose was approved overwhelming by voters in Tuesday’s election. With 2,291 of 3,315 precincts reporting, the amendment had received 569,876 “yes” votes to 77,520 “no” votes.

The GOP controls both houses for the first time in 112 years. Good opportunity for gun rights.

A good list of places to start.
