OBAMA BEGINS PUSHING GUN BAN
Just recently, President Barack Obama announced 23 executive actions—many related to firearm ownership—and pledged his support for several strict legislative measures that would dramatically affect law-abiding gun owners.
Among other things, the executive actions included issuing a presidential memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to resume its previously curtailed biased gun-ban research, directing the attorney general to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies, and directing the attorney general to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun, which could lead to someday adding millions more law-abiding gun owners to the list. (See the complete list at http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/gun-violence-reduction-executive-actions/244/)
The actions also included publishing a letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers, seemingly attempting to pave the way for tough restrictions on gun sales by individuals.
“Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation,” said the NRA in a statement. “Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected, and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy.”
Obama also announced his full-fledged support of various pieces of anti-gun legislation, including requiring background checks for all gun sales, banning modern sporting rifles (called “assault weapons” by gun haters) and limiting magazines to 10 rounds.
Of course, a federal ban on “assault weapons” and “high-cap” magazines was in place for 10 years and did nothing to reduce crime.
The NRA noted that it will put all its effort into fighting anti-gun measures pushed by Obama and some in Congress.
“The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law We look forward to working with Congress on a bipartisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America’s most valuable asset—our children.”
INSURING AWAY YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
Aware that passing sweeping gun bans could be difficult, some gun haters are looking for another way to get guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens—requiring costly insurance policies for anyone owning a weapon.

The scheme is really to force law-abiding citizens to jump through hoops to buy costly insurance policies, in order to get them to decide it’s just too much of a hassle to own a gun. A liability proposal was introduced in the Illinois legislature in 2009. That bill required anyone in the state who owned a firearm to carry at least $1 million of liability insurance, “covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts” involving the use of the gun.
Of course, criminals, who don’t follow gun laws or any other laws, also wouldn’t follow a law making them insure their guns. So the result of such a requirement would be more cost and red tape for law-abiding gun owners, and potential disarmament for the economically disadvantaged.
ONE MARINE VS. THE FEINSTEIN AWB California Sen. Dianne Feinsteins draft gun-ban bill, which reportedly would ban hundreds of different firearm models including many common guns used for sport and self-defense, has drawn widespread disgust from many Second Amendment supporters. But few have received as much attention as the sentiments of a former u.s. Marine, whose letter to Sen. Feinstein went viral and was shared far and wide on Facebook and other social media sites. The letter, written by Marine Joshua Boston, was titled “No ma’am” and was first posted on CNN Report on Dec. 27. Here’s the letter in its entirety: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the governments right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same, a crime. You, madam, have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps veteran of eight years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one. I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America. I am the man who fought for my country. lam the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man. I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public. We, the people, deserve better than you. Respectfully Submitted, Joshua Boston, Cpl United States Marine Corps 2004-2012
