Sketchbooks & notebooks designed with an underlying philosophy of simplicity, usefulness & community.
About this project
Stretch Goal: $150,000
[Read Update #5 for more info on our stretch goal.]
[Update #2: Added a $150 reward due to popular demand.]
There isn't a sketchbook or notebook out there that we feel truly understands how those of us use them on a daily basis. After a lot of searching over nearly two decades we decided to make the book that we want to use. We've created many prototypes and are ready to place our first order for manufacturing—and that's where we need your help. Without a significant amount of orders the manufacturers cannot make any books at all.
We're a small group of thinkers (designers, illustrators, writers, entrepreneurs and the like) that love to sit down with a notebook or sketchbook and give birth to interesting thoughts and ideas. While today's digital age is fantastic—we love technology—we've found that our best work always starts on paper.
From the very beginning we've had to ask ourselves to define and redefine what a notebook is. We came to the conclusion that a notebook is a tool—a means to something greater than itself. Using this understanding as a guide we began to break down the individual subtleties that comprise the whole and improve the design in small ways. There are no gimmicks, no unnecessary parts—just intelligent improvements to a simple tool.
Usability is important, and we wanted a notebook that felt natural when used at your desk, on your couch, in the train—anywhere. To do this we had to account for various use cases, including laying the book flat on a desk, holding it with one hand and writing with the other, carrying it in a backpack or purse, using it all day or just in spurts, and so on. (At roughly 5.4" x 7.7" it's small enough to go with you anywhere and big enough to comfortably use all day at home or work.) We've strived to bring you a more refined book through detailed questioning and testing.
We've worked hard to get out of your way. The books aren't covered in branding (the cover is completely blank) and inside we've included the absolute minimum necessary tools: a bookmark for keeping your page and a box on the inside endpaper (where you can write your name, subject, date, or anything else you desire). This is your book, not ours.
We started a dialog with hundreds of artists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, illustrators, and other thinkers around the world and asked them one simple question: What do you like in a sketchbook or notebook? All the hours of research, testing, and discussion have helped us distill the qualities that make a tool conscious enough to help the creative process and simple enough so that it doesn't get in your way.
The subtleties that make a difference.
Smart design is crucial when it comes to the subtleties of a simple item. We've carefully considered every detail to create a great tool for exploration.
Every inch of our books have been meticulously pored over—and we will continue to work on and improve them. Your feedback will help shape our books as we make them more and more refined.
What does Baron Fig mean?
The creative journey revolves around the dichotomy of Discipline and Impulse: having the impulse to go to places you (and others) haven't, and the discipline to see it through. The Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus represent this dichotomy perfectly. From Apollo, who is associated with order and discipline, we derive "Baron"; from Dionysus, a god of madness and ecstasy, we took the symbol of the "Fig."
Thus Baron Fig—Discipline & Impulse.
How Kickstarter works.
The following is taken from Kickstarter's info page.
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it. The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control and responsibility over their projects. They spend weeks building their project pages, shooting their videos, and brainstorming what rewards to offer backers. When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline. If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short, no one is charged. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.
Backing a project is more than just giving someone money, it's supporting their dream to create something that they want to see exist in the world.
Check out the rewards below. Keep in mind you can pledge as little as $1 or as much as you like—every little bit helps.
Our project is based on simplicity, in keeping with that spirit we're not going to do stickers, posters, and postcards like many Kickstarter campaigns do. We believe in these books, and have worked on perfecting every subtlety to make a product you can use and love.
These books are a work in progress. We plan to create open channels to easily connect with you, the very first Baron Fig users. This will be achieved by having part of our website dedicated to receiving your feedback. We will actively listen, respond, and refine our books. You're part of the process—and we can't wait for what's in store.
Risks and challenges
Manufacturing a product is a monumental feat. Every element is made by a different group of specialists; then we have to arrange for each of these elements to arrive at a manufacturer who then puts all the pieces together. Essentially, it's a task that involves a lot of scheduling, preparation, and care.
Our greatest challenge is to organize these elements for mass production. The different elements include (but are not limited to): cover material, end papers, bookmark material, quality paper stock, printing on the endpapers, dot grid printing, ruled lines printing, quality control, packaging, shipping packaging.
Once the books are created then we have them delivered to us in New York City where we will ship them to our backers all over the world.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
Thanks for the pledge! You'll be able to choose which style you like via an email survey once the campaign is over. If you ordered more than one you'll have the option to mix and match styles (e.g. two dot grid, one blank).
Good question! The dots are 0.5 cm apart, just the right space to be allow for detail without being crowded. The lines are set to narrow ruled spacing to allow for a whole lot of writing to be done! Both measurements have been extensively researched with those that use these types of books.
Note: Baron Fig books are a constant work in progress, especially for our Kickstarter backers who are starting this journey with us. Once everyone receives their books you'll all have the opportunity to provide comprehensive feedback via our website. We want to make the best books possible, and that happens by listening to the community!
Good question! Baron Fig books are focused on providing great tools for idea generation. We wanted a strong balance between thick paper and a book that has a lot of pages. Since we wanted 192 pages in a lightweight book, we chose to go with off white 65# paper, which allows us to keep the book full and light. Dry mediums work fantastic, pens are great too, fountain pens may show through. If we used thick paper then we'd only come out around 120 page for the book—that's 72 less than we have now! We decided to put more pages in the books and, for those that use very wet mediums, just skip a page if the need arises.
Keep in mind that we are not making books for finished artwork. There are many brands out there that already supply books for such endeavors. We're making a book for ideas. One that's not just for illustrators, but for all thinkers—designers, writers, entrepreneurs, developers, musicians, choreographers, and so on. We've made a tool that you can let your mind run free in via notes, sketches, diagrams, etc.

What is it?
Pantothenic acid is a vitamin, also known as vitamin B5. It is widely found in both plants and animals including meat, vegetables, cereal grains, legumes, eggs, and milk.
Vitamin B5 is commercially available as D-pantothenic acid, as well as dexpanthenol and calcium pantothenate, which are chemicals made in the lab from D-pantothenic acid.
Pantothenic acid is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in vitamin B complex formulations. Vitamin B complex generally includes vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin/niacinamide), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), and folic acid. However, some products do not contain all of these ingredients and some may include others, such as biotin, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), choline bitartrate, and inositol.
Pantothenic acid has a long list of uses, although there isn't enough scientific evidence to determine whether it is effective for most of these uses. People take pantothenic acid for treating dietary deficiencies, acne, alcoholism, allergies, baldness, asthma, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, burning feet syndrome, yeast infections, heart failure, carpal tunnel syndrome, respiratory disorders, celiac disease, colitis, conjunctivitis, convulsions, and cystitis. It is also taken by mouth for dandruff, depression, diabetic nerve pain, enhancing immune function, improving athletic performance, tongue infections, gray hair, headache, hyperactivity, low blood sugar, trouble sleeping (insomnia), irritability, low blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, muscular cramps in the legs associated with pregnancy or alcoholism, neuralgia, and obesity.
Pantothenic acid is also used orally for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, nerve pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), enlarged prostate, protection against mental and physical stress and anxiety, reducing adverse effects of thyroid therapy in congenital hypothyroidism, reducing signs of aging, reducing susceptibility to colds and other infections, retarded growth, shingles, skin disorders, stimulating adrenal glands, chronic fatigue syndrome, salicylate toxicity, streptomycin neurotoxicity, dizziness, and wound healing.
People apply dexpanthenol, which is made from pantothenic acid, to the skin for itching, promoting healing of mild eczemas and other skin conditions, insect stings, bites, poison ivy, diaper rash, and acne. It is also applied topically for preventing and treating skin reactions to radiation therapy.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database
rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
The effectiveness ratings for
are as follows:
Effective for...
Pantothenic acid deficiency
. Taking pantothenic acid by mouth prevents and treats pantothenic acid deficiency.
Possibly ineffective for...
Skin reactions from radiation therapy
. Applying dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, to areas of irritated skin does not seem to help treat skin reactions from radiation therapy.
Insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for...
Athletic performance
. Some research suggests that taking pantothenic acid in combination with pantethine and thiamine does not improve muscular strength or endurance in well-trained athletes.
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
. There is conflicting evidence regarding the usefulness of pantothenic acid in combination with large doses of other vitamins for the treatment of ADHD.
. Early research suggests that taking dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, by mouth daily or receiving dexpanthenol shots can help treat constipation.
Dry eyes
. Early research suggests that using specific eye drops (Siccaprotect) containing dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, does not improve most symptoms of dry eyes.
Eye trauma
. Some evidence suggests that applying gel or drops containing dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, reduces some symptoms of eye trauma. However, not all research is consistent.
. Early research suggests that pantothenic acid (given as calcium pantothenate) does not reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Recovery after surgery
. There is inconsistent evidence on the potential benefits of taking pantothenic acid after surgery. Taking pantothenic acid or dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, does not seem to improve bowel function after stomach surgery. However, taking dexpanthenol by mouth might reduce other symptoms after surgery, such as sore throat.
Rheumatoid arthritis
. Developing research suggests that pantothenic acid (given as calcium pantothenate) does not reduce the symptoms of arthritis in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Stuffy nose
. Early research suggests that using a specific spray (Nasicur) that contains dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, helps relieve stuffy nose.
Sinus infection
. Early research suggests that using a nasal spray containing dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, after sinus surgery reduces discharge from the nose, but not other symptoms.
Skin irritation
. Research on the effects of pantothenic acid for preventing skin irritations is not consistent. Some early research suggests that a specific product (Bepanthol Handbalsam) containing dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, does not prevent skin irritation when applied to the skin. However, other research suggests that dexpanthenol ointment can prevent skin irritation.
. Early research suggests that using a specific ointment (Hepathrombin-50,000-Salbe Adenylchemie) containing dexpanthenol, a chemical similar to pantothenic acid, as well as heparin and allantoin reduces swelling related to ankle sprains.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of pantothenic acid for these uses.
How does it work?
Return to top
Pantothenic acid is important for our bodies to properly use carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and for healthy skin.
Are there safety concerns?
Return to top
Pantothenic acid is
for most people when taken by mouth in appropriate amounts. The recommended amount for adults is 5 mg per day. Even larger amounts seem to be safe for some people, but taking larger amounts increases the chance of having side effects such as diarrhea.
Dexpanthenol, a derivative of pantothenic acid, is
when applied to the skin, used as a nasal spray, or injected as a shot into the muscle appropriately, short-term.
Special precautions & warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
: Pantothenic acid is
when taken in recommended amounts of 6 mg per day during pregnancy and 7 mg per day during breast-feeding. However, it is not known if taking more than this amount is safe. Avoid using larger amounts of pantothenic acid.
: Pantothenic acid is
for children when taken by mouth appropriately.
: Do not take dexpanthenol, a derivative of pantothenic acid, if you have hemophila. It might extend the time it takes for bleeding to stop.
Stomach blockage
: Do not take dexpanthenol, a derivative of pantothenic acid, if you have a gastrointestinal blockage.
Are there interactions with medications?
Return to top
It is not known if this product interacts with any medicines.
Before taking this product, talk with your health professional if you take any medications.
Are there interactions with herbs and supplements?

Sean Michael Kerner | November 8, 2004 | Comments
Ad study also shows the majority of marketers are skeptical about alternative advertising tactics.
A survey from the American Advertising Federation reports that industry leaders expect online advertising to double by 2007.
The second annual AAF Survey of Industry Leaders on Advertising Trends surveyed 121 leading advertisers, 70 percent of whom have at least 15 years of industry experience.
In 2004, online advertising represented 8.35 percent of average media plan spending, a figure projected to hit 17 percent by 2007. The flip side of that statistic is the number of advertiser media plans that don't include online spending at all. In 2004, 17.5 percent of advertisers didn't include online media in their buys, a number projected to fall to 8.5 percent by 2007.
Percentage of Media Budget Allocated to Online Ads (average of all respondents) | |||
Year | Budget Allocated To Online Ads | Median | % Reporting "Zero" |
2001 | 5.25% | 2% | 25% |
2004 | 8.35% | 10% | 17.5% |
2007 | 17% | 15% | 8.5% |
Source: 2004 AAF Survey of Industry Leadrs on Advertising Trends |
"Far from the over-hyped promises of the late '90s, there is now greater clarity about the real benefits of online," the AAF report states, "including its ability to complement and enhance the use of traditional media and its precision targeting."
The ability to complement and enhance the use of traditional media was flagged as an online advertising benefit by 95 percent of survey respondents. Meanwhile, 75 percent of respondents agreed they thought advertising has the ability to deliver a return on investment. More precise targeting of fragmented audience was noted as a benefit by 84 percent of respondents, while 62 percent said that new online ad formats grab attention and break though clutter.
Spyware and adware were either opposed or strongly opposed by 60 percent, with only 12 percent recorded as somewhat supportive. None of the respondents indicated strong support for spyware/adware, while slightly less than a third (29 percent) said they were unsure if they supported the tactic or not.

Other alternatives to the traditional :30 TV spot didn't fair as well in the survey. The report notes a "healthy skepticism" to all alternatives except product placement. So-called advertainment, such as BMW's short online films, was rated as ineffective by 11 percent of respondents, while 50 percent called it somewhat effective. SMS (define) messaging, of the type used by AT&T Wireless' American Idol campaign, was noted as being not effective at all by 17 percent, while 45 percent believe it somewhat effective.
The :30-second spot itself was perceived to be impacted by the rise of the DVR. Seventy-six percent of respondents think DVR ad-skipping technology will have an effect on the TV advertising landscape. Some (21 percent) went so far as to say DVRs will herald the end of the traditional TV spot, and cause a dramatic transformation of the TV advertising paradigm.

FEMA says it expects to reach office funding deal soonFebruary 11,2013
MONTPELIER The Federal Emergency Management Agency says federal and state officials hope to complete funding arrangements for the rebuilding of the Waterbury state office complex by the end of the month.
The two sides are working to determine how much FEMA will contribute to the cost of reconstructing the Waterbury campus, most of which was flooded and made unusable by Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
The state has designed a project that would demolish some of the existing structures in Waterbury, repair others and build new structures above the flood level.
The project is expected to cost $124.7 million. The state has been waiting to learn how much FEMA will pay. The states insurance company will also contribute.MORE IN Vermont NewsISLAND POND Two large maple syrup producers are setting up operations in the Northeast Kingdom...

Shin Megami Tensei IV
Question from gamelooker12
How do I find the juraku bookstore and ikebukuro?
I am currently in shinjuku and i have just done a side quest there. while i was there a girl mentioned the juraku bookstore in ikebukuro and progress the plot?
2 years ago
Accepted Answer
1. From Shinjuku go north and then head east across the swamp. On a small poison free platform in the middle of the swamp is a tunnel to Ibekukero.
2. There is a flame wall in this area that you cannot pass until you get the Jirae Talisman. To get the Jirae Talisman, you have to complete the Corpse Hunt Quest in Shinuku.
3. After you remove the flame wall, you can find the bookstore in a demon's domain in that area.
2 years ago
When you first take the ferry to go to shinjuku, there's a small crossroads (actual roads) just to the west, inside the poison swamp; there's a tunnel there that goes to the region with ikebukero.
the juraku bookstore is occupied by a demon's domain that you have to kill as part of the main quest, and isnt too difficult to find.

Global Markets Analyst Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Deutsche Bank in January 2015.
One round phone interview, including behavioural questions and basic questions such as" talk about what's new on the markets", basically to test whether you are following the market properly.
Final interview includes two rounds. Interviewee meet with two interviewers each time. The final interview is very technical, includes lots of follow-up questions. There were several basic math questions but not very difficult. I was also asked "what's the gdp growth rate of India?" "what's the relation between Rubble and some southeast countries currencies" "plan QE as you are ECB"
- The interviewers tried to get to know your capacity to compare different markets and allocate resources. It's helpful to know fundamentals and economic policies of all the important economies. Answer Question

Interview DetailsInterviewed with a senior banker for the expanding Global Markets operation in Jacksonville, FL (front office; back office and middle office are already established). If you can stand living in Jacksonville, this actually sounds like a great way to enjoy true work-life balance in banking. The hours aren't bad, the metro traffic isn't as awful as in larger cities, and there's no tacit understanding that you'll come in at night or work all weekend.
I'm from a non-quantitative background, so the interview was mainly behavioral.

Pill mills banned for one year in Collier County
Drug abusers will find it harder to feed their need for opiates and other prescription drugs in Collier after county leaders put a one-year moratorium on the opening of new pain management clinics in the community.
The County Commission approved the one-year freeze while staff members work with the Sheriff's Office to bring back an ordinance to permanently regulate pain management clinics.
Drug Free Collier has been working with the Sheriff's Office and other groups to develop a local ordinance, recognizing that a state law was passed to put restrictions on pain management clinics but there is no funding for enforcement.
At least 14 counties have passed or are in the process of passing ordinances to restrict pain management clinics until state funding is made available to put teeth into the state law.
Sheriff Kevin Rambosk told commissioners this past week that local law enforcement agencies have been able to stave off pill mills but the community needs to stay vigilant until the state backs up its law with funding.
"Until that time happens, we as a community need to stand up and say we are not going to tolerate this (behavior)," Rambosk said.
Representing the Collier County Medical Society, Dr. Gregory Paine said the county needs to strike a balance so current pain management clinics in the community don't face impediments with their legitimate work. He called for some revisions to the final ordinance.
Broward County has a big problem with pill mills and that's just across Interstate 75, said Scott Salley, chief of the Collier County Jail who is active with the drug free coalition.
"Today I just hope you understand our location and what we have to do," Salley said.
Dr, Marta Coburn, Collier County's medical examiner, told commissioners she's had to ask for budget increases to handle all the drug testing that her staff has to conduct for determining cause of death, so the pill-mill problem is not just a law enforcement problem.
"We are not here to come down on the doctors or legitimate businesses," she said. "We are here to stand down bad business."
A pill mill is where an unscrupulous medical provider will write prescriptions for pain medications to patients without thorough examinations, justification and usually in excessive numbers and often in combination with other addictive medications.
Patients often engage in doctor shopping to continue getting prescriptions and some sell the pills on the streets, which can fetch $25 to $30 for a single pill, local authorities say.
In 2006, Broward County had six pain clinics and now with 176 pain clinics has become one of the hotbeds in the state for pill mills, alongside the Tampa Bay area. Pill-seekers in Collier now can make the easy trip to Broward to get what they want.
Commissioners approved the one-year moratorium ordinance without comment.

Some of the oldest known 'dogs' have just been determined to be wolves -- so who were the first actual dogs?
Some wolves are born with a capacity to bond with people, new research finds.
Dogs might only have a 10,000-year history in the Americas, suggests a new study that also concludes many early American dogs were wolf-like and highly valued.
With the Washington, D.C. area getting its first snowfall, the Smithsonian Zoo had to shut down, giving the animals their own private play day.
After a 500-mile (800 kilometers) trek across the West, a lone wolf's journey may have come to an end this weekend.
It was a great year for four large European carnivores whose populations are now numerous, stable and healthy.
Disruption in pack social cohesion can free more wolves to mate, creating more mouths to feed in a tighter range,
In honor of the all-consuming quest for good deals on the shopping spree known as Black Friday, we present animals for whom every Friday is that color.

"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." ~ P. J. O'Rourke
The Bill of Rights exists to limit what the federal government can do. The Second Amendment was not written to keep a state from infringing upon your rights to own weapons, but was focused only on the federal government... just as the first amendment was focused only on the federal government not infringing upon your free speech or establishing a religion. It was not until after the 14th Amendment was ratified that the "incorporation" doctrine was put into place. Starting in the 1920s the Supreme Court started saying that the 14th Amendment incorporated the Bill of Rights and made them enforceable against states.
Most people would say the first amendment was incorporated in NAACP v. Chicago in 1958, and since that time states have been forced to follow the amendment. The 4th Amendment was incorporated in Wolf v. Colorado and then altered and strengthened in Mapp v. Ohio.
All of that said, the only time that you could say the 2nd Amendment has been incorporated was in McDonald v. Chicago in 2010. However the decision was not worded in such a way as to invalidate any and all gun control laws. Thus the laws that were already on the book will remain valid unless/until they are challenged and a court over turns them. Thus California limiting magazine capacity is still a valid restriction. Since there's a valid legal argument to be had about whether limiting the size of a magazine would infringe upon your right to own a firearm there would have to be a huge case to decide the matter, and through California is not the route that any pro-gun person should choose to take the case.

I voted, but frankly could have chosen "all of the above" as an option.
However in reality, I don't need a reason...
I'll be honest, I was doing a test. You kept asking the same question over and over and over. I answered a portion of the question fully to see whether you would accept the answer. If so we could address other parts of your question. Instead you responded with something that didn't in any way pertain to what I posted and didn't acknowledge the answer you were given. So I know there's no point in debating the issue, you're just here trying to cause problems... and that's OK. I'm just not here to deal with it.
"The only people I like besides my wife and children are Marines."

As an attorney, I felt I should chime in with my two cents regarding the California gun laws.
Echo is correct as far as the the incorporation of the Second Amendment on the states with McDonald and that in order to challenge California's laws somebody would have to mount a legal challenge to it and it has to reach SCOTUS for those laws to get overturned. It is also correct that despite the Heller and McDonald cases most current gun restrictions are currently upheld by federal courts. Some are not, such as the recent 7th Circuit Court of Appeals overturning the Illinois CCW ban as unconstitutional.
The problem with the Heller decision is that it did not set any firm boundaries on what gun control laws are acceptable. The only central holding of that case is that the Second Amendment is an individual right, not a collective right. They set forth no test of how to decide whether or not gun related legislation is unconstitutional other than to say that an outright ban on a "class of arms in common use by the American people for defense is unconstitutional" so the DC ban on handguns was not constitutional. They also did not define "arms" in American legal terms.
Heller was a great victory for gun rights but also has left a lot of unanswered questions. In the majority opinion they clearly state that Heller did not overturn longstanding gun control laws such as laws preventing felons or the mentally ill from having firearms. Because of that the California laws still stand because nothing in the Heller decision or the subsequent McDonald incorporation renders them unconstitutional. They do not say at what point a gun control law will be determined as unconstitutional. In the future they will determine these limits. If the Seventh Circuit CCW case comes before the Court it will be critical in determining the scope of state gun control laws.
All of that said, in my opinion upon reading Heller numerous times, I don't think another Federal Assault Weapon Ban will stand up under Court scrutiny. Semi-Automatic Assault Rifles are in common use by the people, and it is the Gun Control proponents themselves that are saying they are their own class of arms. Under their own definition and applying the Heller precedent, you would have to say that a ban on them is not constitutional. Are magazine capacity limits unconstitutional? Not right now, and not if they continue to use the same rationale as in Heller.
I predict the Court will hear more cases on gun control in this decade, set up a firm test to decide if gun control legislation is constitutional such as how they use the rational basis test to determine if legislation violates the Equal Protection or Due Process clauses or how they use the imminent lawless action test to determine if legislation violates the First Amendment. Ten years from now, we will have a far greater understanding of the scope of the Second Amendment.

The most important reason is simple. An AWB violates my constitutional RIGHTS.
It's funny that Obama is pushing for one, as he claims to be a constitutional scholar. Granted, nobody can actually prove he even attended college.
The fact that your constitutional rights are being stripped away every day and nobody is doing jack about it should absolutely frighten you, and fill you with rage.
Freedom - America is only kind of free, but more so than any other country.
The NRA and other groups should not be * defending * our position, but instead; we should be MORE AGGRESSIVE in filing suit against our government and these organizations who are indeed, infringing upon our guaranteed 2nd Amendment rights!
