Saw a John Stossel piece on Fox news, where he applied for a NYC pistol permit. $430 application fee?? WTF? Isn't this just like the old Jim Crow Poll Taxes in the south, to keep poor blacks from voting?? PS: He was rejected, because he didn't show enough need for a carry permit. Why should we pay so much to exercise our Constitutional rights?

This was reported today in the P J Tattler: The emphasis added in BOLD is mine: Jim
Attorney General Eric Holder said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today that President Obama is open to using an executive action to push through gun-control and/or associated mental health measures that haven’t found approval in Congress.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), one of the top proponents of new gun-control measures in Congress, noted that Obama only made a “very brief” reference to gun violence in his State of the Union address.
“But I hope, and I hope you will join me in the view that the president remains completely committed to ending gun violence in this country, adopting common sense sensible measures ** like background checks and mental health initiatives; a ban on straw purchases and illegal trafficking,” Blumenthal said to Holder at the Justice Department oversight hearing.
**This of course means another attempt at "Universal Background Checks" which as you probably know would be the first step to universal registration and confiscation.

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

They will never stop trying to get total gun control. They will use whatever steps they can to accomplish the death knoll of the second amendment. Then, they will scream and plead for our help once they have accomplished this "feel good" but horrendous action.

And so it starts in Illinois: http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/firearm-registration-bill-introduced-in-illinois/Illinois State Rep. Kelly M. Cassidy (D-14) introduced a bill on Feb. 5 that would require gun owners to register every gun they own. According to the bill, called the Firearms Registration Act (HB4715), this would not just apply to new purchases but Illinoisans would also need to register guns they already own.The bill’s synopsis explains [emphasis added]: “ Creates the Firearms Registration Act. Provides that every person in the State must register each firearm he or she owns or possesses in accordance with the Act.”

Alan Gura's Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Drake v. Jeregian Questions Presented The questions presented are:
1. Whether the Second Amendment secures a right to carry handguns outside the home for self defense.
2. Whether state officials violate the Second Amendment by requiring that individuals wishing to exercise their right to carry a handgun for selfdefense first prove a “justifiable need” for doing so. It was hard to find for free: Link to PDF of the Petition for Writ of Certiorari

9th Circuit strikes down CA's ban on handgun carry"The Ninth Circuit’s decision in Peruta v. San Diego, released minutes ago, affirms the right of law-abiding citizens to carry handguns for lawful protection in public...
The Court ruled that a government may specify what mode of carrying to allow (open or concealed), but a government may not make it impossible for the vast majority of Californians to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.Cue the "Wild West, blood in the streets" handwringing from the usual suspects in 3...2...1...

This is BIG. Read the opinion here: Link to today's Ninth Circuit Peruta decision Plaintiffs were very smart. They did not challenge the licensing statute. They did not argue that miscreants can carry guns. They argued that applying the law in some counties to prevent most citizens from carrying was unconstitutional, leading the 9th Circuit to find that the 2nd Amendment applies to carrying outside the home. This made the spilt in the Circuits more pronounced, making it more likely that the Supreme Court will hear a Right to Bear Arms appeal, perhaps Drake v. Jeregian from New Jersey and the Third Circuit.
