Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Found at THE ASTUDE BLOGGERS we see the continued hyperbole, disinformation, outright lies, and continued scare tactics from the rabid delusional rightwing malcontents. They realize time is running out on their BS and continual search for new boogeymen so the loonies are stepping up there game of smoke and mirrors. Fortunately more and more Americans are on to their game and the rational and reasonable individuals of this nation will prevail. Hunters and other stable and responsible firearm owners have absolutely nothing to fear. But the NRA des and so do firearm manufacturers who will see their sales of assault weapons and other semi automatics dwindle when the nation finally moves to uniform national responsible firearm regulations.

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Libe rty -vs- Tyr anny Reuters - The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said on Friday it had revoked the federal license of a Connecticut gun retailer that sold a weapon to the mother of Adam Lanza, who killed 26 people at an elementary school in December. The agency on December 20 revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Connecticut, ATF spokeswoman Debora Seifert said.

She declined further comment. Nancy Lanza was her son's first victim in the December 14 attack. He shot her in their fa...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny A proper government can accomplish positive things for the society it governs. In fact the founding fathers realized this and recognized that government indeed has a role in establishing and enforcing the rule of law. Law determined to be desirable by the majority of the citizens governed by said government. Finding a proper balance between the government's authority to impose it's will on the people is the rightful domain of the governed to determine. With respect to firearm control and the President's determination to impose increased federal restrictions the nation finds itself in the middle of this debate. In as much as our government bears the responsibility to insure the general welfare and safety of it's citizens it must also guarantee it preserves the freedoms and liberties protected in the Constitution. Freedom and liberty carries with it a great and awesome responsibility. Listen to, a...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As President Obama moves to decisive action on increased firearm control he is aware, I'm sure, of certain limitations on his authority. If not things could get very interesting, >TPM - Former Reagan Attorney General Edwin Meese, now a prominent emeritus official at the Heritage Foundation, became the latest conservative to warn that President Obama could risk impeachment if he takes executive action on reducing gun violence in an interview Monday night. Speaking with Newsmax, Meese said Congress may have to consider impeaching Obama if he were “to try to override the Second Amendment in any way” with an executive order. He did allow that there are some executive actions related to guns that Obama could take wouldn’t be impeachable. “It would be up to the Congress to take action, such as looking in to it to see if, in fact, he has really tried to override the Constitution itself,” Meese told Newsmax. “In wh...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As one of many many millions who support the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms I just can't imagine how the dude in the video, or others like him is helping the efforts of firearm advocates and preservation of the 2'nd amendment. Reasonable restrictions on firearms ( semi automatic assault weapons ) high capacity (extended) magazines, more extensive back ground checks hardly seems unreasonable. I could very well be wrong, but as far as I have been able to determine no one person or group has been advocating a total ban or elimination of 2'nd amendment rights. At least no one with any credibility or authority. If anyone can point me to information to the contrary I would love the link(s).  Stability of the dude? A bit questionable... I'm looking forward to Mr. Biden's final recommendations. One can only hope the debate following will remain civil and rational.  Via: Mem...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In sorting it all out as the nation continues the debate on firearms, high capacity magazines and the rest, I thought the following information very pertinent and germain to the discussion. It seems that while firearm sales have significantly increased in California (2002 - 2011) the number of gun related injuries has declined 25% during the same period. The Sacramento Bee - Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data. Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General's office . During that same period, the number of California hospitalizations due to gun injuries declined from about 4,000 annually to 2,900, a roughly 25 percent drop, according to hospital records collected by the California Department of Public Heal...
