Trouble in Mexico?

Congress holds hearings on Mexico Border Violence. Over the past few weeks, the number of stories in the press regarding the escalating violence in Mexico has dramatically increased. Now, hardly a day goes by when another story describing the atrocities committed by violent drug cartels cannot be found in an American newspaper or on a cable news channel. Anti-gunners say, "Blame America". Gun owners need to pay attention to these stories, because the opponents of our Second Amendment rights are starting to use this situation as a pretext to push their gun ban agenda here in the United States.

CONCEALED CARRY IN NATIONAL PARKS SUSPENDED

On Thursday, March 19, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. granted anti-gun plaintiffs preliminary injunction against implementation of the new rule allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves by carrying a legal concealed firearm in national parks and wildlife refuges. In Thursday's ruling, Federal District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotell issued the preliminary injunction against the Department of the Interior rule that took effect on January 9, 2009.

FURY OVER OBAMA PLAN TO BAN SEMI-AUTOS

Outrage swept through the firearms community after Attorney General Eric Holder revealed to ABC News that the Obama Administration plans to revive the ban on semi-automatic sport-utility rifles and shotguns as part of its push to ratchet down on the gun rights of American citizens.
Holder's pronouncements got quick attention-and dismissal-from Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Perhaps mindful of the losses suffered by Democrats voting for gun control issues, including a semi-auto ban, during the first Clinton Administration, Pelosi told "The Hill" newspaper that new anti-gun initiatives are not on the table, and that the better strategy would be to enforce existing laws.
