This week in Guns & Patriots...
Neil W. McCabe, Editor Dear Guns & Patriots readers, In a matter of days, a National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry bill will be unveiled by a group of Republican and Democratic senators. The working group, led by Sen. John R. Thune (R.-S.D.) and Sen. David Vitter (R.-La.), is in the last stages of massaging the bill's text, and includes significant Democrats such as: Montana's Sen. R. Jon Tester, West Virginia's Sen. Joseph Manchin III and Alaska's Sen. Mark Begich. Interestingly, nominally pro-Second Amendment Sen. James H. Webb Jr. (D.-Va.) has been dropped from the working group. Sources disagree about Webb's efforts towards a passable Senate bill. Some sources told me Webb was hung up on a national standards regime and a list of types of events and locations where guns would be prohibited by federal law. Other sources told me that from the start, Webb was trying to delay and distract senators from getting a bill done. Specifically, Webb was said to have routinely cancelled meetings, changed his mind about language and otherwise played "four-corner offense" to run out the legislative clock. If the Thune-Vitter bill passes, it will be matched with House Resolution 822, which passed the House Nov. 16 with bipartisan support: 272 to 154. A conference committee with members from both chambers will then hammer out a final bill, which will have to be passed by both houses again before it is sent to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature. Use this web page created by Gun Owners of America to find your senator and how to conduct them. Please call your senator and encourage them to support the Senate bill. With more than 20 Senate Democratic-held seats up for grabs in the 2012 election, there is great pressure to on Democrats to vote in favor of restoring gun rights. The sponsor of the newsletter this week is TheTeaParty.net, whose Chief Strategist Dustin Stockton makes the "Tea Party" case for gun rights. The big-time passion behind the Tea Party movement is the idea that the leaders are not listening to us. Please give Stockton's essay a read, and then click on the banners to learn more about his group. Our "Go" button this week is the Veterans Job Bank with special searches by MOS/MOC and other job skills. There is so much more, so enough from me. Enjoy,  Neil W. McCabe Editor, Guns & Patriots |

Darling Listen to Brian and Neil discuss the passing of Andrew Breitbart, Brian's "Legislative Lowdown" column for Human Events and the pending unveiling of the Senate's Concealed Carry National Reciprocity bill. In the Medal of Honor Roll Call, historian Robert J. Laplander talks to Neil about Frank Luke Jr., the "Arizona Balloon Killer."... Read More |
|  | Lt.Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) Within hours of the presidential apology, two U.S. soldiers were dead — killed by their Afghan counterparts. In an effort to justify Mr. Obama's act of contrition, the White House claimed the apology was "wholly appropriate" given the "understandable sensitivities" regarding Islam's holy book — but never bothered to point out that writing in a Koran is forbidden by Islamic teaching...

|  | Robert J. Laplander Though pursued by 8 German planes which were protecting the enemy balloon line, he unhesitatingly attacked and shot down in flames 3 German balloons, being himself under heavy fire from ground batteries and the hostile planes. Severely wounded, he descended to within 50 meters of the ground, and flying at this low altitude near the town of Murvaux opened fire upon enemy troops, killing 6 and wounding as many more...

Miniear and I'm a pro-growth Reagan conservative running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana's 7th district now held by the "lynch-pin" of the anti-Tea Party movement in Congress Democrat Andre Carson, whose American Conservative Union rating has been zero the last two years he's been in office...

 | Raquel Okyay Rep. Ronald E. "Ron" Paul (R.-Texas) wants to be President of the United States. Good idea? No. Sure, there is the slight chance Paul could beat anti Second Amendment Obama in a one-on-one match if he were to be so lucky to win the GOP nomination, BUT would Paul make a good president? No. Even on gun rights? Again, that's a No... Read More |

|  | Dustin Stockton I remember a time, just 10 short years ago, when it seemed like the issue of gun control had died. In 2001, when the second Million Mom March was held, only 200 people showed up to protest Americans' constitutionally-guaranteed right to bear arms... Read More |

There was a bounce in his step. It had been a long time since he had been with a woman and Cynthia proved to be more than just another woman. She was spectacular... Read More |
