However, I also joined Gun Owners of America, and await my Molan Lave patches. Time to put up or shut up.

This will happen in state after state, just as it has happened with ObamaCare.

My only concern with what Wyoming is doing is that it talks about guns manufactured, sold and maintained in the state of Wyoming.
I realize they may be trying to avoid the dreaded commerce clause, but basically any guns you have that were manufactured elsewhere are NOT covered by this law.
Also, it appears to me that if I move to Wyoming and take my guns with me, I’m not covered.

dentarthurdent on January 11, 2013 at 12:28 PM

that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming

My mistake. I guess it pretty well covers everything.

When I get my copy of NRA’s America’s 1st Freedom magazine, I make photocopies of the “Armed Citizen” column, and then sneak a copy into magazines in waiting rooms at doctors’ offices, etc.

That way, people get to read short accounts (from newspapers all over the country) about citizens who have protected themselves and their families with firearms.

I also recommend Chris Bird’s book Thank God I had a Gun, which is available through Amazon.com; it has plenty of other examples, including a harrowing chapter about the aftermath of Katrina in New Orleans.

The minute you create “prohibition,” you create a black market for it.

PROHIBITION = BLACK MARKET.

It’s what propelled the MAFIA into power 100 years ago, remember?

Americans wouldn’t stand for prohibition of liquor, and they won’t stand for prohibition of guns.

We’ll end up with soaring crime, more guns in the hands of criminals, and and a renewal of crime syndicates, if they try to pass “gun control.”

Money wasted for a window sticker and an expensive, glossy, monthly magazine.
Wayne LaPierre will wimp out – again. He’s a horrible spokesman.

True, much of it is for show. But, 100,000 new members in 18 days is good propaganda against the gun-grabbers. At this point, I’ll take anything I can get to shut them up for once.

Many of these 100,000 new members are life members not annual members. If you know a life member, get them to sponsor you. If you don’t know a life member visit your local gun store. They will help you connect. The reward a $1000 life membership for $300

Wow, are you serious? I had thought about a life membership a while back but thought about the purty new AR I could buy for the same amount and held off.

The NRA publicly has committed to engaging policymakers on reasonable proposals.

And those “reasonable proposals” are … what?

The NRA and its foppish Frog of a leader, LaPierre, seem to forget:
American Rifleman, Vol. 149 No. 6, June 2001, page 52.

New research into Adolf Hitler’s use of firearms registration lists to confiscate guns and the execution of their owners teaches a forceful lesson — one that reveals why the American people and Congress have rejected registering honest firearm owners.

Can you spell Kristallnact?
Gird yer loins, Americans, the NRA with their boatloads of cash, is going to wimp out.

Certainly – their job is to inform all what the 2nd stands for, starting with Obama, Biden and the media, on-going, with NO exceptions.

Schadenfreude on January 10, 2013 at 2:54 PM

They only need to appear to inform those guys. They’re the enemy and ‘education’ will not help that. We need to educate middle and younger america. Start with the ones who aren’t locked in yet. But without a media mouthpiece that will be hard. Teach your neighbors kid firearm safety. Best way to preserve the right.

The NRA (via Wayne LaPierre) has been just as hysterical and demagogic on this issue as anyone.
It’s sweet that Ed feels they’re oh so willing to discuss ‘reasonable proposals’ – but of course he knows they’ll be the sole arbiters of what constitutes one.
Here’s the first ‘reasonable proposal’:
Get rid of Wayne LaPierre.

First line of defense for a Liberal: Both sides are at fault.

Second Line of defense: He hit me back first!

Last of line of defense: You’re just a doody head.

Verb just hit all three here kids.

Marxism has never been about the rich. It’s always been about destroying the middle class.

Liam on January 10, 2013 at 3:17 PM

You and others still don’t get Marxism. Sadly so. It is nothing but about the rich. Those in power becoming rich and then dictating to the masses.

And commies are suing this naivete to their own advantage.

….why do you embarrass yourself?

My God, you people are just aching for the opportunity to start shooting cops and National Guardsmen. Question: In your feverish fantasies of yours, what’s the endgame? Do you keep shooting until all law enforcement officers are dead? If your children survive these shootouts you dream of, what kind of country would they grow up in? Will it still be a free country, or will America be a land of armed camps?

“Kid, see the psychiatrist, room 604.”

And I went up there, I said, “Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna se blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies, I mean kill, Kill, Kill, Kill.” And I started jumpin’ up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL,” and he started jumpin’ up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL.” And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, said, “You’re our boy.”

Marxism has never been about the rich. It’s always been about destroying the middle class.
