AN AMERICAN WARNING
Because you should know!

The Obama administration wishes it hadn't happened. Most of the media has swept it under the rug. But they can't deny it any longer and there's no doubt about it ...
They're coming after every law-abiding gun owner in America- and they want your name and personal information in a federal database. That's right- national registration of all firearms.
And the speaker of the House- Nancy Pelosi- fully admitted her gun registration plan, in an admission wrapped around outright lies about the Second Amendment and our freedom.
On ABC's "Good Morning America," when pressed about her goals for gun legislation, Pelosi said the following:
"... the Supreme Court has ruled in a direction that gives more opportunity for people to have guns. We never denied that right. We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered ... and we have to rid the debate of the misconceptions that people have about what gun safety means.”
Pelosi's idea of "gun safety" is every gun ban, ammunition ban and licensing scheme that has come across her desk. She's spent an entire congressional career voting to deny the rights of lawful gun owners.
And now, she's laid out her congressional agenda- coming soon- "We want them registered."
They can't deny it. And they can't deny the determination and might of America's lawful gun owners, who don't want their names in some national government database, just waiting to be abused by gun-hating bureaucrats.
So bring it on, Nancy. We're ready.

While the Obama administration wants to lull gun owners into complacency, it's only a matter of time before a massive campaign is launched to deny our firearms freedom.
That's straight from the mouth of one of the most aggressive gun-haters on Capitol Hill- United States Senator Diane Feinstein.
"I'll pick the time and the place, no question about that," Feinstein told CBS on "60 Minutes," when asked if she planned on mounting an effort to renew the Clinton Gun Ban on lawful semi-automatic firearms.
Feinstein made that comment after claiming- wrongly- that American gun shows were responsible for arming drug cartels and violent gangs with so-called "assault weapons."
But despite the facts that prove her claim wrong, the anti-gun senator from San Francisco is as determined as ever to bring back the old gun ban ... and she knows she'll have support from President Barack Obama.
When reporter Lesley Stahl pointed out that it seems the president has a full plate of critical issues to deal with right now, Feinstein agreed.
"I agree with you," Feinstein said, "I wouldn't bring it up now. I'll pick the time and place, no question about that."
But what Feinstein and Stahl and the rest of the anti-freedom crowd don't know is that American gun owners are not complacent. We're not easily duped into a false sense that our freedom is safe. We know it's just a matter of time, and we'll stay ready to defend our rights.

For those opposed to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, there's no such thing as too much gun control. Just take a look at what the gun-banners are calling for in Scotland: bans on airguns and replica firearms.
That's right. Handguns and semi-automatic firearms have been banned in Scotland, but that hasn't made violent crime decrease. Now the government says it needs to license and strictly control who can have an airgun. I suppose when that doesn't reduce crime, the Scottish politicians will call for a ban on rubber-band guns. After all, when you'd rather ban guns than make cities safer, there's always another gun-control law just waiting to be introduced.

You can add Greta Van Susteren to the list of Fox News hosts who can't or won't be honest about what's going on in Mexico. The other night, not only did the host of "On the Record" let Secretary of State Hillary Clinton get away with saying that Mexican drug cartels are getting machine guns in the United States, Susteren herself said, "these automatic weapons that go right through...are coming from the United States."
It's been 15 years since Hillary Clinton and her husband pushed their gun ban on the American people, and the mainstream media still can't get it right. Fully automatic firearms have been heavily regulated since 1934, and they're not the subject of the ban that Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and others are promoting. They're pushing for a ban on some of the most popular semi-automatic firearms around firearms that shoot just one time every time the trigger is pulled.
These reporters keep saying it's time we get serious about gun control. Maybe they could start by making sure their reporting isn't a joke.

Ronald Reagan said, "Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem."
I believe that's true of all our men and women in the armed forces. Their service in the cause of freedom makes a difference at home and abroad. And they deserve the full measure of the freedoms they served to protect, including the Second Amendment.
But for many veterans, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is being stripped away by government bureaucrats. The Department of Veterans Affairs is arbitrarily denying Second Amendment rights to veterans who've appointed a fiduciary representative -because they're deemed "mentally defective."
To be clear, no court has declared these veterans mentally incompetent. They've simply designated a family member or other representative to handle their fiduciary matters. Which is resulting in them being found mentally unfit to possess firearms.
That's wrong and ought to be illegal.
That’s the goal of U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), who introduced the Veterans' Second Amendment Protection Act. It would mandate that no veteran’s right be denied unless a judicial authority finds that person to be a danger to himself or others.
"Taking away a constitutional right is a serious action, and veterans should be afforded due process under the law," Burr said. "Our veterans took an oath to uphold the constitution, and they deserve to enjoy the rights they fought so hard to protect."
Burr's bill is supported by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.
It should also be supported by every member of Congress. Veterans who've defended our freedom deserve all of our support for all of their rights.
