| An NRA-backed incoming congressman from Utah said Friday he would be open to a discussion of some gun-control measures in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting. "I would consider looking at some of the larger magazines and other things if it gave us an opportunity to talk about the other things as well," Rep.-elect Chris Stewart told The Salt Lake City Tribune. "Let’s talk about the big picture." Stewart said that "big picture" must include increased outreach and treatment for those suffering from mental illness.

Ain´t this grand. You will note you never hear Democrats coming forward, it´s always Republicans. To be terribly redundant, if you give Democrats an inch they will take a mile.

He hasn´t even taken his Oath to protect the Constitution, and here he is, admitting that he will violate that Oath!
Republicans have a death wish, and I am not going down with them.

The "Big Picture" Representative-Elect is called the Constitution, perhaps you´ve heard of it. The writers of the document even included a process for amending it. Let´s try following the rules already written, for a change.

Why is it that liberals only talk about the high "expense" of things when it involves self-defense or national defense?

#4: he will. I wouldn´t trust Justin Sink not to be putting a spin on the comments either. Sink is among the worst of the worst for slanting news coverage.
Still, Utah voters will not be amused.

He is probably referring to the Democrats possibly taking a reasonable position on this issue, but that will not happen, as the liberal Democrats, headed by VP Biden, are now on a mission to ban as many firearms as possible, and put all the remaining guns and gun owners in a government data base that they can someday use as a basis for confiscation of all firearms, after some nut case carries out a horrific shooting sometime in the future.

Incoming soon to be outgoing.
They tried this selective model nonsense on Japanese motorcycles back in the eighties (prompted by heavy donations from Harley Davidson) and the Japanese outsmarted the U.S. Government on every rule. Now we have several models that exceed 200 mph and the accident rates have actually gone down. (It´s not the bike stupid, it´s the rider.)
That was excellent, #7.

What this country needs is millions of people with anti-tank weapons, plastic explosives, armored vehicles, automatic weapons, grenades, rockets and millions of rounds. Our enemy can not be slowed down or stopped with semi-automatic anythings. Get serious. The next twenty years is going to make Beirut look like a picnic.

My guess would be that the Dems opposition research team found something particularly bad in Mr. Stewart´s past and had a little talk with him prior to his "conversion" to gun control.

´...the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be INFRINGED.´
I see no room for further discussion regarding ´gun control´ and would find no restrictions on the people the be binding or legitimate. We are meant to be a free people - the politicians be damned.

We, and Utah, get the politicians we deserve. If 51% of the voters want ALL gun owners finger-printed, it shall be so. You don´t think the government has a list of American gun owners? No like being fingerprinted? No problemo! No tax refund.

the left was waiting for this kind of stupid olive branch from laPierre and never got it.But here comes a nwely elected RINO giving them a ray of hope in dismantling the 2nd amendment.
Never give the left nothing until they make serious concessions first.Boehner was making concessions while Obama was still swinging a golf club. McConnell says he hadn´t heard a word from the dems since Thanksgiving but I just heard the news blame congress for the fiscal cliff.

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
