    Republican Congressman Threatens To Impeach President Obama Over Gun Safety Measures

    I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.

    The President’s actions are an existential threat to this nation. The right of the people to keep and bear arms is what has kept this nation free and secure for over 200 years. The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible.

    White House nixes Texas secession pe ion

    If Texas is going to secede from the Union, it will be without the blessing of the Obama administration.
    The White House this afternoon formally turned thumbs down on a electronic pe ion signed by more than 125,000 people demanding that the Lone Star State be permitted to withdraw its star from the United States flag.

    Barton: There Were No Gun Accidents During the Founding Era

    Today, Rick Green and David Barton weighed-in on the tragedy at Sandy Hook by laying out not only the standard Religious Right solutions of putting prayer and the Bible back in schools, but also adding a unique suggestion to start arming everyone from early childhood.

    That's what these guys do not see and do not look at; they're just flat scared of guns. And the solution to that is exactly what the Founding Fathers said and that is you start teaching kids to use guns when they're very young because gun accidents are caused by non-familiarity with guns; once you're familiar with them, you don't have accidents with them.


    I have searched and in the founding era I think I've only ever found two gun accidents and everybody was hauling guns back then; you took your guns to church, you were required by state law in some states to take your guns to church. We didn't have accidents because everyone was familiar with how to use them. It's not being familiar that makes is dangerous.

    Barton's VERY SPECIAL takes on Bible, history, psychology, and sociology are a edly wrong as most right-wingers

    And those weapons are permitted and strictly controlled by the US government. Since these policies are so successful as you note, maybe we should look at applying he same types of restrictions to a larger subset of guns.
