SHOULD STATE GUN RIGHTS CARRY OVER TO OTHER STATES?

Inevitably, concealed weapons permits are part of any gun control debate. Each state has different permit laws. A congressional representative from Arkansas has introduced legislation that would require all states to honor the concealed weapons permits issued by other states. Gun control advocates claim that states with strict laws will suffer from an influx of people from states with lax laws. Second Amendment champions will claim victory with respect to the United States Constitution and a reduction in federal bureaucracy. In either case, this polarizing debate has both sides ready to speak now while forever holding their pieces. Speaking on this issue are members of the Gun Owners of America, Larry Pratt, Erich Pratt, and Lead Legal Council Mike Hammond. ABOUT... More Details...

DEVIL IN THE DETAILS: Vets Stripped of Gun Rights

Let’s say you’re a veteran…trained by the US military to wage war and use weapons wisely on a foreign battlefield. Every day you face intense pressure from fierce enemy combatants. You’re surrounded by a civilian populace, some of whom want you dead ….many others, innocent bystanders. It’s up to you to tell them apart. But our government trusts your judgment under fire, so long as you’re stationed overseas. Something unusual happens the moment you return to the United States, though. The medical establishment may place you under a mental health microscope. Perhaps you attend a hearing. Perhaps you don’t. But as long as you’re allowed a hearing before a “lawful authority,” you can be found mentally disabled. The moment that happens, all your Second Amendment rights... More Details...

WOMAN WITH CONCEALED WEAPON KILLS MASS MURDERER IN COLORADO

A woman carrying a concealed weapon shot and killed the gunman believed to be responsible for the recent shootings at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and at Youth With A Mission in suburban Denver. According to Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Jeff Johnson, mass murderer Murray had over 1000 rounds of ammunition. Once doesn’t have to be a math major to realize that with 7000 worshipers in church that day, had it not been for Jean Assam, many hundreds of people could have been slaughtered like sitting (unarmed) ducks. Jean Assam, who was ending a three day fast, said, "I was praying to God that he direct me in what to do in life… God made me strong… God guided me and protected me… I give credit to God.” New Life Church Senior Pastor Brady Boyd called Assam "a real...

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR KEY GUN CASE

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a Right-to-Bear-Arms case that will likely lead to one of two outcomes: 1) The High Court can take the traditional constitutional position affirming the right of the people and/or citizen militias to bear arms. Or, 2) They could render a modernized twist on the Second Amendment of the historic Bill of Rights that says only government armies or government militias may bear arms. The case being heard is a 31-year-old ban on handgun ownership in Washington, DC. With an argument date set for March of 2008, with an expected decision to be rendered next summer, will either reject or uphold a federal appeals court decision ruling in March of 2007 that individual U.S. citizens each have the right to bear arms and that such a right is not...

U. S. SENATE TOYING WITH TREATY GIVING UN JURISDICTION OVER GUNS

Our elected leaders in Washington are toying with the idea of handing over 2nd Amendment Rights of U. S. Citizens to the United Nations. Impossible? Acting so foolishly as to hand over individual citizens’ right of self defense to the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad??? Yeah, right… Unfortunately it is true. Our “fearless” “leaders” in the U. S. Senate, who have taken an oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United States of America and to defend our shores, are now scheming to the hand over gun jurisdiction to an arm of the United Nations to oversee the import, export, and oceanic transport of GUNS and AMMUNITION! You would think that even Washington politicians would not be so stupid as to give people like Burma's despotic military junta, the Sudan's genocidal... More Details...

WE MUST DISARM ALL VETERANS NOW! (So Says Senator Chuck Schumer.)

"When the NRA and Chuck Schumer agree, that tells you it's something worth doing," Schumer said. -- The Associated Press, September 26, 2007 The quote above explains the problem gun-rights groups are facing. As crazy as it sounds, BOTH sides of the gun control debate -- with the exception of Gun Owners of America and many pro-gun groups at the state level -- are supporting the Veterans Disarmament Act (HR 2640). This is Insanity 101. Disarming Veterans??? "Conducting Talk Show interviwes on this heated debate is Gun Owners of America Director Larry Praat, who quotes the Associated Press as reporting, "Propelled by a rare alliance between the National Rifle Association and majority Democrats, the legislation was passed in similar form by the House and would be the first...

PATRICK HENRY WAS RIGHT: Gun Control Doesn't Work.

As Senate Reconvenes... Veterans Disarmament Bill Offers False Hopes Of Relief For Gun Owners By Larry Pratt, Executive Director, Gun Owners of America "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past." -- Patrick Henry, in his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech of March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry had it right. Forget the past, and you're destined to make the same mistakes in the future. Gun control has been an absolute failure. Whether it's a total gun ban or mere background checks, gun control has FAILED to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. But gun control fanatics still want to redouble their efforts, even when their endeavors have not worked. Congress is... More Details...

GUN BAN PROPOSED TO BE PASSED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE

The McCarthy bill could treat gun owners even worse than terrorists! Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America (GOA), the nation’s second largest gun group, addresses the Congressional Gun Ban some congressional leaders are trying to slip through without a vote. During your Talk Show interview with Larry, he shares with your audience that opposing this measure is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. GOA vows to stand in the trenches, defending the rights of gun owners around the country. Pratt warns that gun control supporters want to pass gun control within the next couple of weeks, taking advantage of the recent Virginia Tech shootings.

VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING: Gun BANS are the Problem--Not the Solution

...Gun BANS are the Problem-- Not the Solution... 2 Expert Guests Available for Interviews: Larry Pratt, Exec. Dir. Gun Owners of America Police Officer Pete Bollinger, author of “How to Get Hired in Law Enforcement and Fire.” “When will we learn that being defenseless is a bad defense?” asked Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America? “All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last ten years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen -- a potential victim -- had a gun,” Pratt said. “The latest school shooting at Virginia Tech demands an immediate end to the gun-free zone law which leaves the nation’s schools at the mercy of madmen. It is irresponsibly dangerous to tell citizens that they may not have guns at schools. The Virginia... More Details...

COURT OVERTURNS DC GUN BAN

Politicians and Citizens are Free to Shoot Back Again in DC. A federal appeals court just overturned the long-standing gun ban in Washington, DC., making it legal for pro-second amendment enthusiasts to fire their guns in celebration of this victory. But before they fire prematurely, The Washington Post (see article below) cautions that if this dispute makes it to The United States Supreme Court, it would be the first case in nearly 70 years to address the scope of the Second Amendment. Their implication is that the gun ban could conceivably become permanent and national. Then again, the case may never reach the High Court and if it does, there is the equal likelihood that the case could get affirmed for all states to enjoy their constitutionally protected right to bear...

CONGRESS PUSHES ANTI-GUN BRADY LAW EXPANSION BILL

The first major anti-gun bill of the new Pelosi-led Congress has already been introduced, and it could prove to be the most serious threat yet to Second Amendment Rights. On the first full day of the new Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy introduced H.R. 297, the most massive expansion of the Brady law since it passed in 1993. This is a bill that was quashed last year but under the new Pelosi House leadership, the Bill has a higher likelihood of getting passed this time. Conducting Talk Show interviews on this topic is Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, the nation’s second largest gun group. During your interview, Larry can share with your audience that the proposed Bill provides, in the form of grants, about $1 billion to the states to "provide... More Details...

GUN GRABBING PELOSI ON 2007 HORIZON

2006 Highlights and Lowlights for Gun Owners: As the Robot on the old TV series “Lost in Space” used to say, “Danger, Will Robinson, Extreme Danger!” Such is the befitting warning for gun owners once Nancy Pelosi takes over the House. So says Gun Owners of America (GOA) Executive Director Larry Pratt, who stated, “Danger looms on the horizon when the next Congress is sworn in January because Nancy Pelosi, a committed gun hater and supporter of gun confiscation, will take the reins in the House.” During your interview with Larry Pratt, he shares with your audience excerpts from his recent Gun Owners Action Memo that included the following foreboding facts about the incoming House, as well as highlights and lowlights from the year 2006.

"GUN GRABBERS" HAVE TAKEN THE HILL

The Brady Bunch is already licking their collective lips in anticipation of the new Congress being seated. To see the Gun Grabbers drooling all over the new Democrat majority in the House and Senate, just visit the Brady Campaign's website aimed at weakening gun laws with proposals to pass “common sense” bans on guns. Gun Owners of America (GOA) Executive Director Larry Pratt is conducting Talk Show interviews this week to expose the Brady Campaign that is asking the Federal Election Commission to investigate GOA's practice of posting its candidate ratings on the Internet that millions of gun owners rely upon and the Brady Bunch would like to halt. According to Pratt, in 2002 the Bradys rejoiced when Congress passed the Incumbent Protect Act, stating that "now the gun... More Details...

IMPACT OF DEMOCRAT WIN ON GUN RIGHTS

What impact, if any, will the transformational 2006 Congressional Election have on Second Amendment rights? Discussing this topic is Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America (GOA). Pratt contends that while election 2006 may have been a referendum on many things (the President, war in Iraq, Jack Abramoff, Mark Foley for example), it does not translate into greater support for gun control at the grass roots level. House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi (F-rated by GOA) is a charter member of the most extreme wing of the party she now leads. As the person who controls what bills come to the floor, Pelosi will be unable to say "No" to the appeals for more gun control by the likes of Sarah Brady and her congressional allies. The Speaker's strongest House ally in... More Details...
