| Gun Control: Our future president in 2008 called for "a civilian national security force that´s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military. Should the "bitter-clingers" be worried? As Andrew Malcolm has noted on these pages, the Department of Homeland Security has been buying lots of ammo, enough by one calculation to fight the equivalent of a 24-year Iraqi War. Some have speculated about a link between the stockpiling between candidate Obama´s off-prompter campaign remarks about a national security force and the stockpiling by DHS

Why aren´t the Republicans asking questions about this threat? Too stupid? In agreement with Democrat totalitarians? They don´t believe in anything? Too stupid? Where are the "conservative" Republicans?

People like me have no representation in DC. "My" party, the Republicans, have no voice. They worry more about being invited to the proper cocktail parties. They worry about being criticized by the MSM.
I know there are some really good people in DC. And I don´t know what pressures they´re subjected to. I can only imagine it´s intense.
But I think about NH´s license plate motto: Live Free or Die.
I think it´s time for my representatives to embrace this saying politically. Live Free or Die politically.

I was at a dinner party a few nights ago and one of the men said that he talked to a GA politician, don´t remember which one, although he was a Repub. The pol said that with all the employees this covered, it came out to about 667 bullets per employee.
I flat don´t believe that but had no knowledge with which to back my suspicions.

Just like the marine who is talking about his OBL kill, anyone who knows anything have signed non- disclosure agreements. How he thinks there will be no retribution, I have no idea. But if you know and leak, they can and will pinpoint you, and you can say goodbye to your life outside bars. That is, of course, unless you are an "authorised leaker".

People, the 1.6 BILLION rounds purchased by the Dept. of Homeland Security are NOT all HANDGUN rounds...many millions of them are for .223 or 5.56 weapons which are the M-16 type of weapons except these are FULLY automatic capable (just flip the selector switch further for FULLY auto) and are true ASSAULT weapons. Nevertheless,´why´ is the question. I asked my District Congressman, Ralph Hall, his office called me during the weekend and the phone number to call back was so fast I still can´t make it out. I also contacted (e-Mail) my Federal Senators...Mr.Cornyn´s office initially said the figures are exaggerated. I will call them all again and press them on this issue. They don´t know, don´t care, or don´t want to say...Right now I don´t know which is the right choice.

DHS may have a lot of ammunition, but Congress is never going to appropriate the money for Obama to have his own personal National Security Force, that´s just not going to happen, as whatever congress critters who voted for that would immediately become unelectable.

I think some government-designated buyers are buying up the popular rifle calibers to remove those rounds from private ownership.
It´s a clever way to diminish the utility of guns.
I´m glad I´ve been buying bargain amm over the last few years and I´m stocked. I just buy now some lesser-used ammo that are common in Eastern Europe.
7.62x39 is available now, and that´s why any personal armory has at least 1 AK variant in it.

Has anybody besides myself pondered why TSA agents seem to be showing up, unbidden, at railroad stations and bus depots and major sporting events, among other places? Evidently they are even running roadside checkpoints ("May I see your papers, please"). Someone tell Gov. Jan Brewer.
A week ago Jesse Jackson Senior was imploring the Won to send armed TSA agents to Occupy Chicago to put down the gang violence that has left so many Windy City teens dead.
Your Bamster national security force is already on the job.

National Security: The administration moves an advanced missile defense system to Guam because it knows a single low-yield nuke detonated at high altitude could send America back in time a hundred years. The announcement Wednesday by the Defense Department that it would soon deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD), a missile defense system inherited from the Bush administration, to Guam underscores the seriousness of the threat from North Korea, whose actions, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel rightly said, "present a real and clear danger." This move comes after the Obama administration reversed its previous scuttling

War On Terrorism: We have a medal for those who remotely operate drones, but the Pentagon claims awarding the victims of the 2009 shooting with Purple Hearts would jeopardize the shooter´s chance at a fair trial. We recently noted that the Obama administration´s shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Major Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence" had denied survivors benefits they would have been entitled to had the attack been properly labeled an act of terror.

The debate over gay marriage has taken center stage with two cases, one involving California´s Proposition 8 which bans it, and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which bars federal agencies recognizing the validity of same-sex marriages in the states where they are legal, now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Ferguson said he sent a March 28 letter to owner Barronelle Stutzman asking her to reconsider and supply flowers to customer Robert Ingersoll. Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate
