1 My home isn't open to the public 2 I am not using my home to make a living off of a Constitutional right while simultaneously restricting people from it (IOW- Leave your gun outside, but bring me your money.) 3 If you are a visitor in my home, you are there because I am your friend and I trust...

To add: from the rest of the budget request: Full Auto AR-15 Bushmasters for $375!!! (see how cheap it could be if 922(o) went away?)

There will be a "kicks for guns" campaign in central Florida on August 20, 2010, where a person can turn in a gun for a $50 gift certificate. From the budget request:

Didn't realize that our Rights were based upon need...

Not if Lautenberg's new bill goes through. Why? Because there will be no firearms allowed on airport grounds. I know it says it won't affect you if you are going to transport a gun, but how are you going to transport it without bringing it on to the airport property?

Because police officers are a part of both groups. If all crimes against them while off duty are counted as having happened on duty, then the rate of on duty death will never be lower than the rate of death for the public. If you wanted to calculate the rate of LODD (r), and you made it a...

Since this cop was killed in a robbery of his home while off duty (and it was still considered to be a line of duty death) I would say that the numbers include all officers killed criminally. This means that the numbers are useless for statistical purposes, because the number can never be lower...

But when it comes to lawmaking, they are just a number. Remember that the allegation that LEOs are more likely to be the victim of a felonious assault is the reason why a retired LEO from Alaska has the ability to carry a concealed weapon in Illinois, and I don't. You refute such claims by...

It is just as significant as calling Washington DC the murder capital of the US with a murder rate of 45.8 per 100,000. (FBI uniform crime report, 2002) Also, this is not a sample that can be used for statistical purposes, as the sample is not random.

OK: The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that there were about 861,000 police officers in the United States in 2006. (the latest numbers I could find) That works out to a rate of 5.6 police deaths by felonious means per 100,000 (using the FBI numbers).

The 15 ambush deaths were as follows: 4 in Oakland, CA on March 21 by a parolee. In other words, a prohibited person. 3 in Pittsburgh on April 4 by Richard Poplawski, a white supremecist that was subject to a domestic violence restraining order and had been dishonorable discharged from the...

According to the officer down memorial page, in 2009 the on duty deaths for cops were: Felonious assault 60 ---47 killed by gunfire by non-cops ---1 corrections officer died after being hit over the head with a pipe by a prisoner ---3 officers died as a result of illnesses contracted on 9/11...

Only for weapons kept on post. I lived off base, and I was not required to register my personal weapons. I also owned a gun store while I was in the military, and my Lt tried to order me to close. I pointed out to him that his order was not a lawful one. The command backed me up on that one. If...

FactCheck is a politically motivated, partisan group of shills. I don't believe them. Heck, all you have to do is go to whitehouse.gov and see that this administration still has gun laws firmly in its sights. The only reason that Obama signed the Coburn Amendment was because it was attached...

Sure they can, but it would be illegal. A person from NY can also drive to PA and burglarize a home, steal a gun, and then take it back to NY and sell it to someone whom isn't supposed to have one. That doesn't make it legal, and no amount of legal maneuvering will stop that.
