 Mayor Sheila Dixon (D) has accepted a plea deal for perjury charges stemming from accusations that she did not report gifts she received from a local developer. In a teary announcement yesterday, order she resigned her post as the Mayor of Baltimore as part of the plea.
As you will recall, ed Dixon, a vocal member of “Mayors Against Illegal Guns,” was convicted last month of pocketing gift cards intended for Baltimore’s needy families.
Dixon now joins the ranks of disgraced anti-gun politicians like former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (D) of Detroit. Perhaps these folks should focus on abiding by the law themselves instead of persecuting law-abiding citizens.
“Mayors Against Illegal Guns” (MAIG) was founded and is funded by activist anti-gun billionaire and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a front group to lobby Congress to oppose important pro-gun reforms and support new federal gun control restrictions.-[source]
 To strengthen the Second Amendment rights of Oklahomans, more about state Rep. Lewis Moore has filed legislation to deter frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
“In recent years gun-control fanatics have used litigation to indirectly undermine our constitutional rights. By filing frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers, drug they have attempted to put those companies out of business and, pilule for all intents and purposes, block access to firearms and gut the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution,” Moore said. “My legislation will prevent fanatics from abusing our courts in that fashion and protect the fundamental constitutional rights of working Oklahomans.”
House Bill 2884, creates the “Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act,” which declares that a “personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Oklahoma and that remains within the borders of Oklahoma is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.”
The legislation notes that regulation of intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and that Article II, Section 26, of the Oklahoma Constitution “clearly secures to Oklahoma citizens, and prohibits interference with, the right of individual Oklahoma citizens to keep and bear arms.”
As a result, under the bill, guns manufactured in Oklahoma and sold to citizens of the state would not be subject to federal regulations since “those items have not traveled in interstate commerce.”
Guns manufactured would be required to have the words “Made in Oklahoma” clearly stamped on a central metallic part, such as the receiver or frame. -[source]
 Republican Scott Brown is surfing a wave of voter frustration with President Barack Obama that has helped propel the once low-profile Massachusetts state senator from long shot to contender in the race to fill the Senate seat left vacant by Edward Kennedy’s death.
Brown’s meteoric rise caught nearly everyone off-guard, particularly Democratic Party leaders who assumed their candidate, state Attorney General Martha Coakley, would have a cakewalk to the U.S. Capitol after winning a four-way primary in November.
They hadn’t counted on voters like Luis Rodriguez.
The 46-year-old plastics factory supervisor, who emigrated to the U.S. in 1988 from Uruguay and became a citizen last year, said he’s fed up with what he calls the lies told by Washington. It’s enough for him that Coakley supports Obama, who Rodriguez says has failed to make good on his pledge for openness.
“We don’t buy what we can’t afford. We don’t spend what we don’t have,” said Rodriguez, echoing the anger expressed by other voters who say Democrats are too eager to bail out bankers and people who bought homes they couldn’t afford. “These people, what they’re doing now, they’re spending money they don’t have so they can get elected again.”
Despite the Bay State’s liberal reputation, some Massachusetts voters are also chafing at the idea that just because the Senate seat had been held by Kennedy for 47 years, it should automatically go to a Democratic successor.-[source]

The lamestream media told you:
Nothing.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Will “Freedom To Carry” replace “Right To Carry”? It’s moving that way in Texas and elsewhere.
With state legislative sessions starting nationwide, the right to keep and bear arms is front and center in people’s minds and some state legislatures.
So-called “right to carry,” which requires government interference, paperwork, applications, approvals , taxes called “fees,” mandatory classes, written tests, shooting tests, plastic-coated permission slips, fingerprinting, photographs, entries into criminal databases and expiration dates for your “rights,” well, this has definitely moved the right to bear arms significantly ahead. Is it time to go further and reach “Freedom To Carry”?
Also called Vermont- or Alaska-style carry, basically the government stays out of your face as you exercise your fundamental human and civil right to own and carry property. Having a firearm, if you’re doing nothing wrong, is not a crime. What a concept. A woman can put a handgun in her handbag and go about her day without fear of arrest.
Under the infringement of so-called “reciprocity” schemes, your human and civil rights as an American have been reduced to a list of government-approved states for licensees only, when you leave your home state. The 98% of the public that refuses to jump through the hoops, be taxed, get on the criminal database and get “rights” papers is left out in the cold when they travel under the current model. Enormous police effort that could be going directly toward reducing crime is instead being diverted into registering, regulating and tracking the innocent.-[source]
Imagine a state law that says that any federal agent that comes into said state and runs afoul of a new state law should be considered a felon! Well, that is what New Hampshire is about to do if HB1285(1) passes during the coming 2010 legislative session.
HB1285 is another one of those laws that exempts all firearms and firearms accessories that are made in a state from certain federal restrictions if they remain in that state. Several states have made attempts to implement these 10th Amendment laws and New Hampshire intends to be one of the next to do so.
Thus far Montana and Tennessee have passed their own firearms freedom acts and thirteen or so other states have introduced or are introducing laws that exempts local firearms industries and accessories as well as in-state firearms owners from overweening federal gun banning laws.
To be sure, salve these laws have not yet been challenged in a Supreme Court case and there is no doubt that they will be, this but until that happens as each state passes its own firearms act exempting its in-state manufacturers and owners from federal laws we cannot help but expect an increasing amount of tension to build up between the states and the federal government as a result.
All that said there is an interesting aspect of the New Hampshire law that goes a step beyond that of other states, that being the aforementioned idea of making felons of federal agents that dare to try and implement federal firearms laws that conflict with the new state laws. -[source]
What would you think if a long-time gun control advocate ended up shooting someone? Might the word “hypocrite” come to mind?
It did for me, pilule and apparently for many others.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports North Carolina state senator R.C. Soles shot one of two intruders who attempted to break into his house.
But it gets even more interesting than the mere hypocrisy of a gun control activist shooting somebody.
The New York Times reports Soles won’t be seeking re-election, decease which is not a surprise since state prosecutors have said they plan to charge Soles because “he acted criminally when he shot a former law client.”-[source]
Americans are increasingly opposed to activist government programs. The most significant social movement of 2009, the Tea Party protests, grew out of that opposition. Libertarian heroine Ayn Rand is as popular today as ever. Rand’s brilliant and radical laissez faire novel “Atlas Shrugged,” sold roughly 300,000 copies last year, according to BookScan, twice its sales in 2008 and roughly triple annual sales in recent decades.
We are witnessing a conservative libertarian comeback. It’s an oppositional advance, a response to all manners of active-state liberalism since the financial crisis. Half the public believes there is “too much” government regulation of “business and industry,” an 11-point rise in one year, according to a December CNN poll. Nearly a third of the public, in contrast, said there was “too little” regulation. – [source]
 The deaths of seven CIA employees in Afghanistan probably will not be the last. The U.S. isn’t pulling back on covert operations to hunt terrorists there and in Pakistan and will go on taking chances on human tipsters to help.
In fact, the United States struck back at militant targets in Pakistan on Wednesday with explosives apparently launched from an airborne drone – the fifth such attack since the bombing that killed several top CIA operatives at a secretive eastern Afghan base reportedly used as a key outpost in the effort to identify and target terror leaders.
The latest attack was a lethal message that the Obama administration views its airstrikes as too effective to abandon, even though they are unpopular with civilians and the U.S.-backed governments in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. The apparent strike killed 13 people in an area of Pakistan’s volatile northwest teeming with militants suspected of directing the suicide attack last week across the border in Afghanistan.
The U.S. deaths were a reminder that while the use of drones may lessen the risk to American pilots, the CIA-run operation has its own human Achilles’ heel: the intelligence agents who practice old-fashioned spycraft to pinpoint the targets.
The attack came as a severe blow to the expertise and talent pool of the CIA in a little-understood country where its spies are now most at risk. – [source]
– It’s time for us for to repeat this loudly and often
Here’s where we’re at on socialized health care. The House and Senate have passed ObamaCare bills, but the two versions are very different. So, the bill can’t go to the President until they iron out the differences.
Make no mistake about it. This legislation moves us down the road towards socialism, and it will result in even more gun owners being disqualified from owning firearms.
We need to regroup and renew our efforts to kill ObamaCare — an outcome which is still very doable.
Now, repeat this phrase over and over: A MORAL CESSPOOL.
If we are going to defeat the anti-gun ObamaCare legislation, these words are going to have to be repeated millions of times over the next month.
The U.S. Senate has become a moral cesspool.
The U.S. Senate has become a moral cesspool.
The U.S. Senate has become a moral cesspool.

 U.S. law, such information is private and can be seen only by law-enforcers doing legitimate investigations.Thomasson said some identifying information, such as Social Security numbers, are edited out of the reports given to foreign police.
He said that fewer than a dozen Mexican police officers are allowed to use the system and that they have been vetted and undergone background checks by the ATF. The hope is that Mexico and other countries will eventually dedicate more officers to the task, Thomasson said.
However, the National Rifle Association said it is worried that encouraging more users abroad could lead to private information about gun owners being leaked to the public or criminals. “We don’t trust our own government to have a national list of gun owners, much less a government whose corruption is legendary,” Velleco said. “For the U.S. to give that type of government access to our records of gun owners is an outrage.” -[source]
