Movie review: 'Assaulted' documentary advocates for gun rights

For a gun-rights advocacy documentary that opens with a fluttering American flag and a twangy country vocalist singing " got a gun to keep us strong / that's what our country was founded on " (the next verse violates the Old Testament's Fourth Commandment ... but not the 2nd Amendment), "Assaulted: Civil rights Under Fire" is a reasoned counter to Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" and, as such, a constructive addition to the current national firearms debate. ...

Police Taser Gun Rights Advocate at Anti-Gun Violence Rally

An anti-gun violence rally at the Statehouse plaza on Tuesday turned ugly when gun rights supporters turned out to protest the event and one pro-gun advocate had to be Tasered by Concord Police after resisting their efforts to detain him. Daniel Musso, 52, of Brentwood attempted to interject commentary while John Cantin of Manchester was speaking about his efforts to influence U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte , R-NH, on the background check issue. Musso, who was wearing a pro-Native America rights T-shirt, asked Cantin to take his glasses off and later, challenged Cantin's statements and statistics. Private security hired by the Mayors Against Illegal Guns group asked Musso to leave but he didn't budge. After a few minutes, Musso threw up his hands and left Cantin's side. Later, police were led by the private security team to the Musso's location, interspersed with other gun rights advocates and began speaking with him. A scuffle broke out and three officers attempted to subdue Musso. The three officers eventually pinned Musso up against the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce information booth in the plaza and repeatedly warned him to stop resisting while he denied he was resisting. An officer kneed Musso and he was then Tasered by another officer and brought to the ground before being taken into custody. Musso was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and two counts of simple assault, allegedly against a person who ...

NWP welcomes Irish singer/songwriter, Andy McCarroll. I talk with this school teacher from Belfast who is also an accomplished singer and songwriter. This school teacher was "called into action" after the Sandyhook school masacre and wrote a song "Masters of War". Andy has a unique perspective on US gun rights. I find it interesting to listen to his thoughts as someone looking at the United States from the outside. Not sure our ideas are the same but Im willing to listen to his opinions and get an inside look into how the world perceives our 2nd Amendment rights. Andy takes on the NRA and calls on the organization to look at gun violence through the eyes of the watching world. www.andymccarroll.com www.northwestprime.com www.facebook.com/northwestprime LIKE US!

Gun rights/gun wrongs

gun rights are guaranteed by the Second Amendment while gun wrongs are guaranteed by the NRA. 30,000+ Americans die every year while far fewer die annually by acts of terrorism and our wars against terrorism. Why do we sacrifice so many lives to prevent random acts of terror? Partly because gun sales and wars are so profitable for some and partly because we don’t value the people who die. We put a higher value on the unborn than we do on the living. There is also the fear factor: fear of change, fear of the unknown and the pseudo fear of our own government whipped up for profit by the fear mongers on the right. ...

Libertarian Leanings on Pot, Same-Sex Marriage, and Gun Rights

A re Americans becoming more libertarian on cultural issues? I see evidence that they are, in poll findings and election results on three unrelated issues: marijuana legalization, same-sex marriage, and gun rights. Start with pot. Last November voters in the states of Colorado and Washington voted to legalize marijuana, by a margin of 55 to 45 percent in Colorado (more than Barack Obama’s margin in the state) and by 56 to 44 percent in Washington. In contrast, in 2010, California voters rejected legalization 53 to 47 percent. These results and poll data suggest a general movement toward legal marijuana. #ad#State legislatures in Denver and Olympia have been grappling with regulatory legislation amid uncertainty over whether federal laws -- and federal-law enforcers -- override their state laws. But marijuana has already become effectively legal in many of the states that have reduced penalties for possession of small amounts or have legalized medical marijuana. You can easily find addresses and phone numbers of dispensaries on the Web. Same-sex marriage, rejected in statewide votes between 1998 and 2008 and most recently in North Carolina in May 2012, was approved by voters in Maine and Maryland in November 2012, and voters then rejected a ban on it in Minnesota. Since then, legislators in Delaware, Minnesota, and Rhode Island have voted to legalize same-sex marriage. A dozen states and the District of Columbia now have similar l ...
