The on-again, off-again federal funding for research to link guns with disease, is - are you surprised? - on again. This editorial ran last week in Investors Business Daily. I've moved it to Gun Thoughts (http://esmeraldasden.blogspot.com/2009/10/gun-control-thru-health-care.html), with a comment or two of my own. ;D

You can be sure if the 'public option' of health care is passed it won't be long until having guns will double or triple your premium!

I know that I am just echoing my and other's words, but this is how it will all happen. Our Rights will be "ruled out" rather than legislated out. If some agency can find a way to pass a rule it becomes insulated from the political scene, and it all happens in the dark ... Who was it that said that would not happen and that our gov would be transparent?

I think we need to toss all the legislation and legal precedent of the last 200 years. As in improving your shooting skills we need to "go back to the basics", Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Federalist papers, and start over.
We should also make sure that our elected servants understand that THEY GOT THE JOB, they will not be fired for not passing BS legislation just for the sake of having something to do.

I don't know about anybody else, but the day the transport stops at the end of my street, and the guys in the blue helmets start going door to door confiscating guns, will be the day of my death.

+1 (and minus as many of them as I can ;) )

Birds of a feather flock together ... Is that why so many of us with Bibles on our laps, guns on the reading table, and Hoppes 9 behind our wife's (or significant other) ear hang out here ;D

Could be M58.
Personally when the "blue helmets" show up on my street I figure on picking off a few and bugging out so I can pick off a few more the next day on some one elses street.
Repeat as needed. ;D

Brings to mind "The Battle of Sipsey Street," (http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2009/10/absolved-chapter-one-battle-of-sipsey.html) chapter one of Mike Vanderboegh's novel-in-progress, Absolved.

That sounds like the perfect antidote for the viral infection that we seem to have festering in Washington.

Note to WatchmanUSA,
It would appear that it isn't just me. Are they ALL depressed ? Or just PISSED.

A little from column A and a little from column B. And, for the record, the same shit that depresses me also pisses me off.

+1 to all. I'm there. I Hope they aren't Acorn kids wearing brown or red shirts.
We placed a water filled balloon in a blue helmet one time, and a guy shot it with a .308.
They are so outnumbered, marching down the street was the downfall of the British, and it is the downfall of Iraq and Afghanistan. Marching down the street here with a gun behind every blade of grass, would be their downfall, too.
Door to door will not work, not there nor here. But they will still try.

Hate to rain on your parade Woody, but Cordon and sweep tactics work quite well and have AT LEAST since the Germans used them in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Blue helmets?
They might get me in the end.....but I'll make the 6:00 news that day. ;)
