It is now being reported on other gun oriented forums what many of us long suspected here. The anti's are in fact Bloomberg shills trying to portray us in the worst light possible. Again we need to be thankful that the forum administrator here saw this as well and the anti's seem to have departed Double Guns for more naive locals.

April 17, 2013....U.S. Senate Vote on the Manchin-Toomey amendment, S. 649 the Firearms Bill, which would have a negative effect on our Second Amendment Rights........

"The Federal Government Shall NOT infringe on the right of the people to KEEP and BEAR ARMS".......

With the help of the NRA and gun owners calling and writing their Senators it was defeated by the Minority Republican Senators and few Pro-Gun Democrat Senators from Pro-Gun States, not counting anti-gun Harry Reid D-NV who voted nea to cover his own ass..... only.......

DO NOT FORGET who the Anti-Gun Democrat and Change Over Republican Senators are......VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE ONCE AND FOR ALL......

We cannot afford to get complacent now the fight has just begun.

Chris W. Cox's Message to Gun Owners on Their Victory in the Senate



While both sides in the gun control debate regroup after our victory in the Senate earlier this week, I want to give credit where credit is due. The credit for Wednesday’s defeat of gun control goes to the countless gun owners and other Americans who drew a line in the sand—who sent emails and letters and made phone calls to their U.S. senators, urging them to protect private firearm transfers, semi-automatic firearms, and the magazines that millions of Americans own for self-defense.


There is no question that you shocked the enemies of liberty two days ago. Going into Wednesday’s votes, they thought victory was within reach. Many in the media had pushed the idea that resistance to the gun control agenda was futile, and some of our more aggressive adversaries may have started to believe their own propaganda. I’m sure some had convinced themselves that the intensity of their anger toward gun owners was all that was necessary to assure victory.


But you and your fellow gun owners proved them wrong. As you know, the best Americans do what they have to do, not for personal praise, but because it’s the right thing to do. They do what has to be done not only for themselves, but for their fellow Americans today and for generations of Americans to come. Nevertheless, on behalf of all of us at NRA headquarters, I want to thank you for answering the call.


As you know, however, we can take only measured comfort from this week’s success. In his bitter response to the Senate’s votes, President Obama said that this fight is far from over, and that’s the one thing that he is right about.


Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), sponsor of the gun control bill debated this week, has promised to bring his bill up at a more opportune moment. Obama’s “Organizing for America,” billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s “Mayors Against Illegal Gun Guns,” and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ “Americans for Responsible Solutions” will focus their efforts on defeating pro-Second Amendment senators in 2014.


I say to those groups and their leaders, that pro-Second Amendment senators stood with us and we will stand with them, as we have with other elected representatives who have supported the Second Amendment before them.


Over the last generation, gun owners have had tremendous success advancing our cause. The refusal of the Obama administration and anti-gun radicals in Congress to attack us during Obama’s first term is a testament to our strength. They became emboldened by Obama’s reelection and over the last four months, we have weathered an anti-gun public relations campaign as severe as any we have experienced. And we have won the first legislative battle at the national level.


Our adversaries are well-funded, though, and as determined as any we have seen before. The fight ahead will be as difficult as this organization and the gun owning community has ever faced. Prepare for what’s ahead. Every gun owner will be needed on the team. Elected officials who support the Second Amendment will be subjected to a well-financed, cleverly conceived campaign designed to convince them that they are on the wrong side of history. Our job and yours will be to expose that claim for the fraud that it is. Please find strength in the knowledge that the victories best savored are those that are hardest fought, and encourage our friends in Congress to do the same.


Thank you for all you did to win this fight, and for your readiness to win the fights that will come.



Drama in the Rose Garden: Defying Senate,

Obama Vows to Win on Gun Control


On Wednesday, the Senate rejected a gun control agenda that President Obama has adopted as his own over the last few months, but to which other gun control supporters have bitterly clung for years: banning an ever-lengthening list of semi-automatic firearms, banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and expanding background check requirements to require government permission for many transfers of firearms among private citizens.


Within minutes of the Senate’s votes, which one political commentator called the “biggest loss” of Obama’s presidency, the President theatrically stood beside a prominent crime victim and several family members of other victims in the Rose Garden, beginning his comments in a somber tone, so that the anger to which he would dramatically build over the next 13 minutes would, in contrast, appear more sincere.


Obama should not have been surprised by what happened on Capitol Hill, however. A CBS poll in March showed that support for gun control had dropped 10

I would rather(and probably will)die to protect my freedom to bear arms in this country. I realize just how good we have it in the USA despite our current and many problems. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!!! Just look and see what's going on in other countries when you try to express your opinion or practice your faith!
I am prepared to stand up for the principles mentioned earlier, and quite prepared to take on those who are trying to "change" those things which were just fine up until about 4 years ago.

Welcome to the DoubleGun forums Alan, and here's 5 stars for you to start with. Good luck keeping them!


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Contrary to the outright lies and propaganda put out by the Obama administration and the anti-gun liberal media, the link above cites a recent Washington Post/ Pew Research Center poll that says less than half of Americans are upset that the Senate did not pass S 649, the Universal Backround Check bill. I'd say that even the new lower number is grossly exaggerated judging by the "thumbs up" vs. "thumbs down" ratings given to comments below this article. The pro-gun, anti Obama posts are rated more like 100 to 1 "thumbs up". That's something to consider for anyone who might begin to be swayed by the anti-gunners' propaganda.

IDENTIFYING THE ENEMY:
THE GROUPS MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED
BY ALL THE MEMBERS HERE.

4/24/13 | by S.H. Blannelberry

"From 2000-2011, international business tycoon George Soros donated approximately $7 million to five different advocacy groups and organizations that support tougher gun laws, including the high-profile Brady Center to Prevent Gun violence.The largest recipient was The American Bar Association, a volunteer professional membership group of attorneys, which received a whopping $4,093,946 over that time span, as reported by Newsbusters.org.
While its ties to gun control legislation may not be all that overt, the ABA website does state that the organization “believes that lawyers share a special responsibility to help create a just and secure society in which firearms are well-regulated.”
Moreover, ABA President Laurel Bellows echoed those thoughts in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
In January, Bellows endorsed President Obama’s and Vice President Biden’s proposal to reduce gun violence, writing that “Gun violence prevention policies are achievable and desperately needed,” including, “mandatory background checks before all gun sales” and “new legislation to restrict the availability of military assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.”
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence got a check for $50,000 from Soros. Obviously, that was not a huge contribution relative to the ABA donation, but a clear sign that Soros backs the push for tougher gun laws.

The other three recipients of the Soros bump included The Children’s Defense Fund, which received $550,000, The League of Women Voters, which received $2,028,020, and Physicians for Social Responsibility, which pulled in $5,000.
All of the aforementioned organizations, in one respect or another, believe in curtailing gun ownership via stringent regulations. Probably the most startling example was the Physicians for Social Responsibility, which lobbied for the “strongest possible legislative and regulatory approaches” with respect to guns.
In the past, Soros personally criticized the Bush administration from preventing progress on the gun control front. In his book, “The Bubble of American Supremacy: The Costs of Bush’s War in Iraq,” the champion of all causes liberal or progressive wrote that President Bush has “aggressively infringed the rights of states to legislate and enforce provisions on issues such as gun control and medical marijuana.”

Washington, D.C. – After months of speculation of the intent of the Obama Administration and the Department of Homeland Defense, many officials believe they now have the reason behind the massive ammunition stockpiles: Rationing. The Obama Administration has struggle with legislation to crack down on the 2nd Amendment, but throughout the process had plan B in effect.

Over the past few years, the Department of Homeland Security has purchased over 1,000 more rounds per person than Army. At a recent hearing, Representative Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah stated, ”It is entirely … inexplicable why the Department of Homeland Security needs so much ammunition,” .

Chaffetz, who chairs one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock. He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012 and used 116 million that same year — among roughly 70,000 agents.

Insiders who asked to remain anonymous were asked about the massive ammunition stockpiles and hinted that the massive stockpiles were achieving their end result, empty shelves. The Obama Administration knew heading into their second term the fight on the 2nd Amendment would be tough, so instead of fighting that battle, they decided to remove the main component. The insider stated, “There’s a good reason you can find shotgun ammo all day long, but not assault type rifles and handgun. Thing about it, Joe Biden recently was encouraging gun owners to buy shotguns over assault rifles, this was their intention all along.”

One major side effect the Obama Administration failed to factor in, local law enforcement agencies are running short of ammunition supplies. Another major side effect, although this one likely intentional, the price of ammunition has skyrocketed. Many police agencies across the Nation have resorted to smaller bus due to the much higher cost and nationwide budget cuts. It’s also been reported that many law enforcement agencies have had to use Airsoft guns for training to save ammunition.

Republicans on Captial Hill are introducing a bill that would force the DHS to make purchases that are more inline with historical numbers vs. the current levels, which are enough for an army. Frank Lucas, R-Okla. stated: “I was surprised to find out the DHS has the right to buy up to 750 million rounds of ammunition over the next five years, while it already has two years worth of ammo already,” Lucas said. “This is an issue that must be addressed, and I am pleased this legislation provides us the opportunity to do so.”

Here's a couple of reasons I'm glad I live in Arizona:

"All your hard work paid off! On Monday, April 29, Governor Brewer signed HB 2326 and HB 2455 into law.

HB 2326 prohibits maintaining information on a person who possesses, purchases, transfers or sells a firearm, except in the course of a law enforcement investigation.

HB 2455, an AzCDL-requested bill, clarifies that firearms voluntarily surrendered to a state or local entity cannot be destroyed and must be sold. We thank everyone who sent the over 2,000 emails to the Governor urging her to sign HB 2455. YOU made a difference!

These bills will become law 90 days after the Legislative session adjourns"
