Democrat election victories this year put hard-won “shall issue” concealed carry laws in jeopardy. In addition to other aspects of his dismal record on the fundamental individual right to armed self-defense against crime and tyranny, Barack Obama has stated his dislike for concealed carry laws.
In Washington State, Seattle’s Mayor has proclaimed his intention to ban concealed carry on public property in defiance of statewide preemption laws and an Attorney General’s opinion. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is on the case.
The Washington, D.C. City Council maintains their semi-automatic handgun ban and requirement that guns in the home be kept disassembled unless in the face of an actual break-in. The Council appears to be in direct defiance of the Heller United States Supreme Court Decision. No big deal there! (See my post “Heller goes after D.C. once more with feeling,” Category: “Courts,” on this site.
In Denver, District Attorney Mitch Morrissey declared Denver’s LoDo District to be off limits for firearms, even before the election. (Pankratz, Howard, “DA praises cop, warns against guns in LoDo,” The Denver Post, The Denver Newspaper Agency, 10-28-08, Page 2B.) As of this writing, Colorado has a “shall issue” concealed carry law that is not subject to fiat by local law enforcement.
Chatter continues on the Left about muzzling Conservative talk radio with “The Fairness Doctrine,” while leaving TV and the Mainstream Print Media free to spew Liberal propaganda in the guise of “news.” This has been going on for some time. Look for Left-wing attempts to regulate speech on the Net.
One can only imagine the assaults on the First and Second Amendments that will occur after “The Chosen One” takes office on January 20th. An attack on one gun owner or Second Amendment advocate is an attack on us all. An attack on free speech is an assault on the very foundations of our legacy of freedom. What are the Liberal Democrats planning that is so terrible that they fear free speech and armed resistance?
