The results of the study don’t seem to indicate causation, but the correlation is interesting.  Cities with Democrat administrations prone to strict gun control laws appear to be the most violent places in the country.  At the very least, this information jibes with the exhaustive CDC and NAS Studies, which describe a pervasive lack of scientific proof that gun control laws prevent crime.

This new report comes at a time when the Obama Administration is reportedly planning to renew the semi-automatic weapons ban, severely restrict or kill gun shows, make police agency gun trace data available to politicians for propaganda purposes, and impose “smart gun” or “safe storage” laws on American gun owners.

Couple these plans with “local programming” regulations or the “Fairness Doctrine” and you have a comprehensive attack on both the First and Second Amendments.  You have to ask yourself, what are the Liberal Democrats planning that is so terrible that they fear free speech and armed resistance?

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?

The Second Amendment Foundation issued a press release yesterday reflecting the nomination of the Clinton Administration official.  You remember Janet Reno:  “Assault Weapons” Ban, Waco, Ruby Ridge.  Her lieutenant’s appointment as Attorney General is a pretty clear indication of the real intentions of “The Chosen One.”

An Obamanista caller today on Peter Boyle’s Denver radio talk show, voiced a willingness to bet Conservatives that he, the caller, would still have his shotgun and his pistol at the end of a four-year Obama Administration.  It could happen.  In 2012, he could be paying a five-hundred percent tax on ammunition.  The caller could be keeping his registered weapons unloaded, locked up, and disassembled, so that they are useless to him for self-defense.  He could be driving two hundred miles to buy ammunition, since there may be no gun stores within five miles of a park or a school.  He probably won’t be attending gun shows, because there probably won’t be any gun shows.  He may not need ammunition, because PETA may have banned hunting.  Rifle, pistol, and shotgun ranges may all be closed, because of “environmental concerns” over lead contamination or noise issues.  Don’t even think about concealed carry!  If our intrepid caller seals the handgun barrel with lead, he may be able to use his pistol as a paperweight.

The crowning irony regarding this morning’s caller to the Peter Boyles’ Show, is that the caller may not be able to report on the air about the results of his gamble with his Second Amendment rights.  If Democrats succeed in killing talk radio with the “Fairness Doctrine,” we may never hear from our bold Obama supporter again.

On the other hand, if over 80 million gun owners rise as one and say, not “No,” but “Hell No!” we may be able to save at least some of the legacy of freedom passed down to us by the many brave American men and women who fought and died for liberty.  An assault upon the rights of any gun owner is an attack upon us all.  A “Fairness Doctrine” raid against the First Amendment strikes at the very heart of our constitutional republic.

If you don’t speak out now, you will lose your First and Second Amendment rights.  Ask yourself this question every day.  What is the Left planning that is so terrible that they fear free speech and armed resistance?

The friend of the tyrant is merely his last victim.
