2nd Amendment & NRA News
The Second Amendment Under Attack “The
Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association are always one bad incident away from politicians like Chuck Schumer and
Dick Durbin exploiting their agenda of gun control,” said Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA spokesman. Harry
Reid both voted for every anti-gun nominee [Barack] Obama has put up and voted for the Brady bill, and the assault weapons
ban. Reid is at the forefront of conservative bloggers thinking, if Reid loses, he’s almost certain to be succeeded
as majority leader by a fierce gun-control advocate, either Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin or New York Sen. Chuck Schumer. ALR believes this logic is faulty, by the NRA and conservatives. Reid has been no friend of the Constitution, Bill
of Rights, or the American People. He is all about getting re-elected regardless of the law. A recent posting of his opponent's
prior website, potentially laden with federal, state, and elections civil and criminal violations, was intended for Harry Reid to keep power at all costs. The
key is to protecting the Second Amendment to to retire Reid and to gain control of the Senate, or at least, gain control enough
seats to stop the Senate with 5-10 friendly Democrat votes.

Chicago City Council fails to protect Citizens from gangs:
Orders citizens to lock up guns.
On Monday, June 28, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment Constitutional "right to keep and bear arms" applies equally to the federal, state
and local governments. The justices gave a narrow 5-4 vote that included five conservative justices in favor of gun rights,
and four liberal justices opposed. Friday, July 3,the Chicago city council approved a gun ordinance to remove a 28-year-old handgun ban; the 45-0 vote was made just days after the US Supreme Court
ruled that the ban was unconstitutional.
The new ordinance would allow one firearm per household, and the owner would be required to have a state permit;
any other guns in a household are required to have a gun lock or be locked up. Weapons will also need to be registered with
the Chicago police department. Each owner will be required to take a four hour classroom training, and one hour of firing range training.
Mayor Daley said, "Either we enact
new and reasonable handgun laws in Chicago to protect our residents -- as the council has done -- or we do nothing and risk
greater gun violence in our streets and in our homes." Chicago gangs shot at least 52 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago following the City
Council's and Mayor Daly's "efforts to protect our residents." Seven of the people died. Police blame gangs
for most of the widespread incidents. Another bulk of violence occurred late Sunday into early Monday morning--when
at least 18 people were shot.

Arizona Conceal and Carry, from home page. Of course you’ll still have to
legally be able to own and carry a firearm in order to take advantage of the new law, which won’t take place until the
current legislative session ends around July or August. Required by federal law, a background check will still be
required to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer, but that doesn’t apply to sales by individuals that aren’t
dealers. While this is a major step forward in our 2nd Amendment rights, it still raises a few important questions.
- How will not having a permit affect the reciprocity that Arizona has with other states?
- Will people seek
the proper training that comes with the responsibility of owning and carrying a handgun?
- Will this make it harder
for Law Enforcement to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys?
Reciprocity A big question that
we had to dig around to find the answer to, was reciprocity. Arizona currently has a reciprocity with 31 other states, and
to continue to carry in those states you’ll still have to have an Arizona permit. Permits will also still be
needed to carry concealed in any Arizona restaurant or bar that serves alcohol. Training You’ve all
most likely either seen, or heard stories about those that come into a CCW class with a gun they’ve never touched before
that day. While its everyone’s constitutional right to not have to take a training class, its just scary to think about
those who would carry without properly knowing how to use their weapon. We’d like to share a great quote from
the Arizona Citizens Defense League, who lobbied for the “constitutional carry” in Arizona: “The
heaviest thing about wearing a firearm is the responsibility that comes with it.”
There’s
a lot of truth behind that statement, and it can’t be reinforced enough. You’re not only taking responsibility
for your defense, but also of those potential victims around you. Distinguishing All adults in Arizona can
already open carry legally in Arizona without a permit, and there’s no federal law that requires a permit to carry concealed.
That being said, Law Enforcement currently uses concealed carry permits across this country to immediately identify a lawful
citizen. Just simply having a permit means that you’re not a felon, and most likely aren’t a threat to
the officer. This isn’t an argument for permits, just something to think about for those that immediately dismiss the
idea of a permit as unconstitutional. You’ll still legally have to announce to any Arizona officer that you’re
carrying concealed if asked, and that officer will have the option to temporarily take your gun while communicating with you.
