Tensions were high as both sides of the Gun control aisle spoke during a Senate Law and Public Safety Committee held earlier this month in Trenton, NJ. As the hearing progressed, Gun-Rights supporters grew frustrated at the legislators move to amp measures that would only pertain to law-abiding Gun owners and not the criminals they aimed to stop. In a particularly heated exchanged, 2nd Amendment advocate James Kaleda, 36, was asked to keep his comments relative to bills being heard. “I am on the bill. And I will be heard,” Kaleda said. But Committee Chairman Donald Norcross (D-Camden) called Kaleda out of order. “This hearing’s out of order,” Kaleda replied. Within moments, a visibly disgruntled Kaleda was forcibly escorted out of the committee headquarters by law enforcement.

South Carolina Looks To Protect Gun Rights With New Unorganized Militia Bill

South Carolina legislators are trying to stay one step ahead of federal law when it comes to Gun control. State Senator Tom Corbin (R-Greenville) introduced a bill today that would make every South Carolina resident ages 17 and up a member of the state’s “unorganized militia.” Check out this excerpt from the bill: “Any able-bodied citizen of the state who is over 17 years of age and can legally purchase a firearm is deemed a member of the South Carolina Unorganized Militia, unless he is already a member of the National Guard or the organized militia not in National Guard Service.” The bill would capitalize on an existing South Carolina law that says “the unorganized militia may not fall under any law or regulation or jurisdiction of any person or entity outside of South Carolina.” Included in the bill is a clause attempting to preserve the Rights of South Carolina residents to purchase any firearm they wish to. This sections states that residents “shall have the right to possess and keep all arms that could be legally acquired or possessed by a South Carolina citizen as of Dec. 31, 2012. This includes shouldered rifles and shotguns, handguns, clips, magazines, and all components.” Although residents would automatically be enrolled into the unorganized militia, the bill also says that “A member may resign at any time from the unorganized militia, at which time he will resume his civilian status.” Corbin, the bill’s chief sponsor, ...

Beretta Maryland – -( Ammoland.com )- This morning, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley signed into law SB281, a bill that will severely limit the Constitutionally-protected Rights of American citizens in the State of Maryland.

Corp., Benelli U.S.A. Corporation and Stoeger Industries, Inc.—have all been deeply concerned about Governor Martin O’Malley’s effort this year to impose broad new restrictions on the Rights of Maryland citizens to buy firearms, as well as on the types of firearms and firearm magazines they can acquire. The Companies have submitted comments before the Maryland legislature and to the press condemning these efforts and stating that the Governor’s anti-Gun activity is causing them to evaluate whether they want to remain in this State. Notwithstanding some media reports to the contrary, those efforts have had some beneficial effects. Through the Companies’ legislative efforts and with assistance led by Delegate Joe Vallario and others provisions were stripped out of the final Bill that would ...

Armed Gun-Rights Leader Compares Himself to Gandhi

Mahatma would be turning over in his grave. On July 4, Adam Kokesh hopes to lead 1,000 protesters armed with guns into Washington, D.C. to advocate for open carry. In Kokesh’s eyes, a crowd armed with guns compares to the nonviolent civil disobedience practiced by Mahatma Gandhi. Kokesh answered the Washington Post through a series of text messages: Suppose the D.C. police, as they have promised, block the marchers from crossing into Washington? How should they respond? “With Satyagraha,” Kokesh, 31, texted The Washington Post. That is a term used by Mahatma Gandhi to describe his strategy of nonviolent resistance to British rule in India. [...] Did his response of “satyagraha” mean violence is unacceptable? “Only if absolutely necessary in defense of life or limb,” he wrote. Satyagraha , in Gandhi’s words, is “a way of life based on love and compassion.” Gandhi explained that “[i]n the application of Satyagraha I have discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one’s opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy.” Compare Satyagraha to Kokesh’s event description on Facebook. Although Kokesh claims his march will “peacefully turn back” if confronted with “physical resistance,” he ominously warns the march will be violent if “the government chooses to make it violent.” He also proclaims that “[w]e will march with rifles loaded & slung across our bac ...
