Everytown for Gun Safety: Not Your Grandparents' NRA
Everytown for Gun Safety has released a report titled Not Your Grandparents' NRA that highlights a simple fact: the NRA that was created after the Civil War to promote hunting, marksmanship, and safety training — and that supported common sense gun laws — no longer exists. Today's NRA would be unrecognizable to the founding members of the organization.
Today's radicalized NRA was born in 1977 when its newly elected leader Harlon Carter rejected calls for background checks, saying that allowing "convicted violent felons, mentally deranged people, violently addicted to narcotics people to have guns" was simply the "price we pay for freedom."
The report highlights some of the extreme positions the NRA has taken and some of the tactics it uses to subvert public safety and advance its agenda, including:
- Fighting to allow felons and terrorists to buy and own firearms;
- Campaigning to put guns in places like bars where they are at high risk of being misused, despite the documented dangers of mixing guns and alcohol;
- Promoting gag orders to block pediatricians and military commanders from discussing gun safety with parents and at-risk service members;
- Endangering law enforcement and hobbling their efforts to fight gun crime by sabotaging the introduction of proven, innovative gun-tracking technology;
- Handcuffing communities beset by gun violence by thwarting their efforts to tailor gun laws to local conditions; and, finally,
- Blacklisting individuals and private sector companies that buck NRA orthodoxy or offer any measures to reduce gun violence or mitigate its costs.

The 1977 Cincinnati NRA convention is responsible for the major shift in the direction of the organization, as was the rise of deranged idiot Wayne LaPierre.
Bloomberg Plans a $50 Million Challenge to the N.R.A.
Michael R. Bloomberg, making his first major political investment since leaving office, plans to spend $50 million this year building a nationwide grass-roots network to motivate voters who feel strongly about curbing gun violence, an organization he hopes can eventually outmuscle the National Rifle Association.
Mr. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, said gun control advocates need to learn from the N.R.A. and punish those politicians who fail to support their agenda — even Democrats whose positions otherwise align with his own.
"They say, 'We don't care. We're going to go after you,' " he said of the N.R.A. " 'If you don't vote with us we're going to go after your kids and your grandkids and your great-grandkids. And we're never going to stop.' "
He added: "We've got to make them afraid of us."
The considerable advantages that gun rights advocates enjoy — in intensity, organization and political clout — will not be easy to overcome. Indeed, Mr. Bloomberg has already spent millions of dollars trying to persuade members of Congress to support enhanced background check laws with virtually nothing to show for it.
What is more, for many gun owners, the issue is a deeply personal one that energizes them politically, said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, who dismissed the mayor's plans.
"He's got the money to waste," Mr. Pratt said. "So I guess he's free to do so. But frankly, I think he's going to find out why his side keeps losing."
The N.R.A. had no comment.
Mr. Bloomberg's blueprint reimagines the way gun control advocates have traditionally confronted the issue. Rather than relying so heavily on television ad campaigns, Mr. Bloomberg will put a large portion of his resources into the often-unseen field operations that have been effective for groups like the N.R.A. in driving single-issue, like-minded voters to the polls.
Women, and mothers in particular, will be the focus of the organizing and outreach, a path that he and his advisers have modeled after groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
The plans call for a restructuring of the gun control groups he funds, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. They will be brought under one new umbrella group called Everytown for Gun Safety.
The strategy will focus not on sweeping federal restrictions to ban certain weapons, but instead will seek to expand the background check system for gun buyers both at the state and national levels.
The $50 million could be significant: In recent years, the N.R.A. has spent only $20 million annually on political activities. The political groups affiliated with the billionaire Koch brothers, who are seeking to help Republicans take over the Senate, have spent about $30 million in the last six months.
The group will zero in on 15 target states, from places like Colorado and Washington State, where gun control initiatives have advanced recently, to territory that is likely to be more hostile like Texas, Montana and Indiana. They have set a goal of signing up one million new supporters this year on top of the 1.5 million they already have.
Previous efforts by Mr. Bloomberg to push gun control have touched off tensions with national Democratic leaders, because he has run negative ads against incumbent Democrats whom he views as insufficiently supportive of gun control. The Democratic leaders argue that Mr. Bloomberg threatens to hand control of the Senate to Republicans, which they say would doom any hope of passing gun control legislation.
Mr. Bloomberg dismissed those fears, saying he was concerned only with the long term.
"You can tell me all you want that the Republicans would be worse in the Senate than the Democrats," he said. "Maybe they would. But that's not what we're talking about here."
Underscoring his desire to work with both parties, Mr. Bloomberg is bringing on a new advisory board with prominent Republican and Democratic figures. Tom Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor and Homeland Security secretary under President George W. Bush; Eli Broad, the philanthropist; Warren Buffett, the investor; and Michael G. Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under both Mr. Bush and President Obama, will all be board members.
Mr. Bloomberg acknowledged that his new efforts would require a dedication not just of money but also of time — two things he now has in abundance.
"You've got to work at it piece by piece," he added. "One mom and another mom. You've got to wear them down until they finally say, 'Enough.' "
He was also dismissive of skeptics who might question whether he could ever build an organization that rivaled the N.R.A. And he seemed unaware of, or unwilling to acknowledge, the ways in which his own persona — of a billionaire, Big Gulp-banning former mayor of New York — could undercut his efforts, especially in rural, conservative states.
"I don't know what your perception is of our reputation, and mine, the name Bloomberg around the country," he said. But every place he goes, he added, "You're a rock star. People yelling out of cabs, 'Hey, way to go!' "
His financial commitment to reducing gun violence could grow. When asked how much he was willing to spend, he tossed out the $50 million figure out as if he were describing the tip he left on a restaurant check.
"I put $50 million this year, last year into coal, $53 million into oceans," he said with a shrug, describing his clean energy and sustainable fishing initiatives. "Certainly a number like that, $50 million. Let's see what happens."
The key to whether they can be effective, the mayor and his advisers said, will be turning out female voters, the sought-after swing bloc that has been pivotal in recent elections.
"Right now, women, when they go to the polls, they vote on abortion, they vote on jobs, they vote on health care," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. "We want one of those things to be gun violence prevention."
Mr. Bloomberg was introspective as he spoke, and seemed both restless and wistful. When he sat down for the interview, it was a few days before his 50th college reunion. His mortality has started dawning on him, at 72. And he admitted he was a bit taken aback by how many of his former classmates had been appearing in the "in memoriam" pages of his school newsletter.
But if he senses that he may not have as much time left as he would like, he has little doubt about what would await him at a Judgment Day. Pointing to his work on gun safety, obesity and smoking cessation, he said with a grin: "I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I'm not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It's not even close."
Five Laughably Paranoid Claims From NRA's Wayne LaPierre at CPAC
1. America is becoming too dangerous for children to play outside.
2. Americans are buying guns because of "reckless government actions" and because the "entire fabric of society" is in "jeopardy."
3. The national media is one of America's "greatest threats."
4. "Knockout game" and "haters" are just two reasons we need unlimited rifles, shotguns, and pistols (Bonus part: "waves of chemicals" could collapse society at any moment).
5. There is a "bare-knuckled street fight" with the opposition to the NRA. But the NRA "will not go quietly into the night." (Bonus: this is from the movie Independence Day).

Ted Nugent Blames Liberals And Welfare Programs For Gun Violence
National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent knows the real culprit for gun violence: welfare programs. In his latest column, Nugent that the "social welfare programs designed, engineered and promoted by liberals have wreaked havoc on black families across America" and encouraged "urban street rats."
"Don't hold your breath waiting for the president or any other liberal to tell you this," Nugent laments. "That would be blowing a huge truth hole in the liberal lie that continues to wreak havoc on urban America."

I am unintimidated by the NRA
The NRA's successful recall of Democratic Colorado State Senate President John Morse doesn't intimidate me one bit.
I don't support repealing the Second Amendment or disarming law-abiding citizens of this great country. I support responsible legislation…
How The Colorado Recall Could Backfire On The NRA
If pro-gun activists are successful Tuesday in recalling Colorado's Senate president and another Democratic senator, it could have an unintended consequence for the right: the state's Senate leadership may move to the left.
Senate President John Morse (D) and Sen. Angela Giron (D) are both up for recall after helping to narrowly pass a bill that expanded background checks on gun purchases and limited the size of ammunition magazines.
The recalls have largely been framed as a test for which side has the upper hand nationally on gun control. Outside groups, that either support or oppose tighter gun restrictions have poured millions of dollars into Colorado to try to tilt the fates of the two state politicians. That includes the nation's most prominent gun lobby, the National Rifle Association, which has spent a six-figure sum in the state, according to the Denver Post.
While it would mark a serious national victory for pro-gun advocates if one or both of the lawmakers went down, the situation inside the state capitol would be more complicated.
Democrats would still hold the majority in the Senate, even though it would be a much slimmer one, but they would retain enough votes to pick the chamber's next president. People who are involved in Colorado politics told TPM last week that the most likely replacement for Morse is Sen. Morgan Carroll (D), currently the majority leader.
Carroll is said to be to the left of Morse, and she's a big champion of gun control. Her district includes the Aurora movie theater where 12 people were killed and dozens more wounded in a mass shooting last summer. Following the December killings of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., she helped lead this year's successful push to tighten the gun laws in Colorado.
But even if Democrats wind up with a more liberal Senate president, they would be faced with the problem of hanging on to a narrower majority if both Morse and Giron end up being recalled. The challengers for both seats are Republicans, and the split would become 18-17 rather than 20-15.
"It does mean the Democrats could hold a much more tenuous hold on the Senate," University of Denver political science professor Seth Masket told TPM on Friday.
The way the recalls are set up, voters in each district will be faced with two questions on the ballot. The first will be whether to recall the district's senator. The next will be who should replace the lawmaker if the recall is triggered. The only name on the ballot to replace Morse is former Colorado Springs city councilman Bernie Herpin (R), and the only name to replace Giron is conservative activist George Rivera (R). There is a space for a write-in candidate on both recall ballots, but it's more likely that Herpin and Rivera would take Morse and Giron's respective seats.
The GOP challengers clearly differ with the incumbents on gun control, but that has not been the only issue in the races. In fact, up close, they look more like a general election than most national media coverage would have one believe.
The contests have touched on marijuana use, energy, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and, unlikely, federal immigration reform. The fact that the Republican challengers are "strongly anti-abortion" even motivated Planned Parenthood to send 27,000 mailers out in support of the Democrats, according to The New Republic. Giron has spent some of her time on the campaign needling her challenger as anti-choice, according to The Pueblo Chieftain newspaper.
Yet even the starkest policy differences between the incumbents and their challengers pale in comparison to the prominence the recall election has gained. It's been called a referendum on whether groups opposed to stricter gun laws can crack down on lawmakers that supported restrictions at any level of government.
"More generally, this is designed to have more of chilling effect on future gun control," Masket said.
Masket should know. He helped produce a study, along with two California professors, that looked at the effect of a successful recall in the Golden State. It found that state lawmakers moderated their policy positions after the recall. The evidence suggested those lawmakers saw that recalls were possible and became more cautious to try and protect themselves from being recalled in the future. Masket said a recall in Colorado could have the same effect.
Republicans, of course, argue that not recalling Morse and Giron also has negative policy implications. Opponents of gun control see Morse and Giron as lawmakers that would go to great lengths to pass new gun laws. Therefore, advocates of the recall argue, Morse and Giron need to be removed from office quickly.
"They took a bill that came in from an out-of-state organization on gun control and they rammed it through without any debate, without any discussion, without any amendments from law enforcement," Colorado Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call told The Washington Post.
Colorado's 'Pro-Life' Candidates Want To Ban All Abortions Under 'Personhood' While Loosening Gun Laws
Two Democratic state senators in Colorado are facing recall elections next month specifically because they lent their support to a package of gun violence prevention measures. They will run against stringently pro-life Republican opponents who, in addition to favoring looser gun regulations, support banning all abortions under "personhood."
Colorado is somewhat of a ground zero for the far-right "personhood" movement, which seeks to endow fertilized eggs with all the rights of U.S. citizens. Abortion opponents have repeatedly tried to add a personhood amendment to Colorado's constitution to define life as beginning at conception, but they have fallen short every year. Now, personhood activists are mobilizing yet again — although they may face an uphill battle, since they haven't won over the state's mainstream Republicans.
Nevertheless, personhood does have the support of both George Rivera and Bernie Herpin, the Republican candidates up against Sens. John Morse (D) and Angela Giron (D) in the upcoming recall election. Herpin has recently attempted to distance himself from the far-right issue, claiming he has never signed a personhood petition. But he did respond to a pro-life group's questionnaire to say he agrees with the primary beliefs at the heart of the personhood movement, like the idea that humans "become persons" as "single cells."
Although personhood proponents are on the far-right end of the pro-life spectrum — most mainstream anti-abortion groups have distanced themselves from the movement — they aren't necessarily in favor of protecting life through gun violence prevention measures. In fact, a chapter of a personhood group in Ohio recently attempted to raise money for their cause by auctioning off assault rifles.
Colorado has been home to two of the nation's most high-profile mass shootings — one in 1999 at Columbine High School, and one last summer at a movie theater in Aurora. Morse and Giron weren't the only Democratic state senators targeted after supporting additional gun regulations, but they were the only ones whose districts collected enough signatures to actually force a recall election.
Even though an extreme personhood measure hasn't yet been enacted in any state, there are still plenty of existing restrictions on abortion that threaten women's access to their constitutionally-protected reproductive care. It's already harder to get an abortion than it is to get a gun in the United States.
Jeffrey Nugent says his brother Ted Nugent is wrong on background checks - The Washington Post
I'm a member of the National Rifle Association and a former Army officer with assignments in the military police, artillery, and operations research and intelligence at the Pentagon.
I'm also Ted Nugent's older brother.
Ted and I recently attended the NRA convention in Houston, where he delivered the gathering's final speech and continued his ardent defense of the Second Amendment. Ted and I have hunted together for decades, and we legally own a large number of guns. We both understand that guns constitute deadly force, so safety is foremost in our minds. It's part of responsible gun ownership.
And I agree with Ted that our constitutional right to bear arms should not be undermined. I want all those who are qualified to purchase a gun to be able to do so. But — and here is where I part ways with my brother — not everyone is qualified to own a gun, so expanded background checks should be a legislative priority.
I believe strongly that expanding and improving mandatory background checks will keep a lot of people who aren't entitled to Second Amendment rights from having easy access to guns. As of today, a convicted felon can find a gun show or a private seller and buy a firearm without a background check. That loophole should be closed. Every gun transaction must include a thorough background check. Why would responsible gun owners want to protect people who threaten not only our safety but our gun rights?
The NRA has it wrong: Irresponsible gun owners are bad for everyone. If you shouldn't have access to a gun, then there should be no way for you to access a gun! Can anyone argue with that?
Consider the mentally ill, one of the biggest threats to firearm safety. How do we preserve their rights to health privacy while keeping firearms out of their hands? It's a huge concern, given the role mental illness has played in recent gun-violence tragedies. While some states have made progress, it's far from universal.
But convicted felons, people with restraining orders against them and those with a history of mental illness can still find ways to purchase weapons. No one should stand for this.
The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, and the gun violence that claims on average eight children per day in the United States, require us to think differently about what the Second Amendment really means.
Enhanced background checks need not threaten the Second Amendment. Why are the NRA and the elected representatives who support it so slow to realize this? Or do they fear a slippery slope toward greater restrictions on gun rights? If they don't want to burden a flawed system, they should be part of fixing it.
Reducing gun violence and protecting the Second Amendment is not an either-or idea. I challenge the NRA's leadership to partner with groups such as Evolve, which I recently joined, that seek to protect gun rights while creating a culture of responsibility, safe gun use and prudent access to firearms.
Can we imagine an NRA capable of taking that on? Or are we doomed to the uncompromising philosophy driving everything the organization does? I want to be proud of being a member of a proactive NRA.
I attended this month's NRA convention to better understand what the organization is thinking and advocating. Speakers such as Glenn Beck and my brother are extremely articulate and connect with that audience, while Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president, excels at creating a strident stand-and-fight mentality that does not speak for the majority of gun owners. Ted and I have talked about these matters over the years, but more often lately. I concede that he is right on some points: In some instances, cities and states with less-strict gun laws have less violent crime. But that does not argue for arming America. Ted is someone who speaks in extremes to make his points. It reflects who he is, and it works for him and his audience.

Dana Loesch, St. Louis-Area Mom Spar Over Gun Control - Yahoo! News
Conservative talk show host Dana Loesch called a St. Louis-area mother an "idiot" for attending an anti-gun violence rally in late March in downtown St. Louis. Three weeks later, the Riverfront Times reports Nikki Moungo, a 42-year-old mother of three, said Loesch lacks "compassion or sympathy" for victims of gun violence. Moungo was part of a Moms Against Guns rally that Loesch found disturbing. Now, the two are locked in a war of words over the controversial issue.
* Moungo called Loesch "extremely superficial" in her interview with the media outlet posted Tuesday. The mother has been helping her neighbor cope with the death of Matthew Pellegrini, a shooting victim murdered in St. Louis in 2012.
* Moungo called out Loesch's assertion she is a "limo liberal" by saying, "You don't have to wait for gun violence to affect you to get involved."
* Loesch responded to Moungo's interview with a blog post of her own. The conservative activist said, "I've actually had threats against myself and my family… . I've even had people show up at my house. People who've never been in the firsthand position of ever having to defend themselves should stop lecturing those who HAVE been in such position. Thanks for completely proving my point."
* Among other observations, Loesch made fun of Moungo's Frontenac sunglasses and designer clothes in addition to the fact that many of the women who attended the downtown St. Louis rally were from the suburbs. Moungo co-owns a construction business with her husband and has three boys ages 21, 19 and 9, according to the Riverfront Times piece.
* The war of words expanded to Twitter. Loesch posted, "In reality, [Moungo] is thin skinned because she obsessed over it for a week. My critique was right and it stung. Now move on."
* Moungo replied when she said Loesch had "no clue" about her life circumstances in suburban St. Louis. She also told the conservative blogger, "Don't mock those who mourn, try being civilized."
* The online fracas started with Loesch's commentary on the anti-gun rally posted to RedState.com March 30. The blogger started by calling attendees "well-heeled progressive women from the nice, safe part of Missouri… ."
* One of the speakers at the rally suggested the United States cede its sovereignty to the United Nations in terms of better gun control. A journalist asked Mayor Francis Slay if he agreed with Dr. Robert Flood's statement, but he refused to answer the question.
* Moungo is not the only St. Louis resident infuriated by Loesch. Local chef Dale Beauchamp called upon Loesch's supporters to "use your easily purchased firearm on yourself." Twitchy.com reports Beauchamp apologized for making his comments and the restaurant for which he works, Little Country Gentleman, distanced itself from the chef's remarks in a string of tweets made Thursday.
* Loesch is a St. Louis native who contributes to many national news media outlets on a regular basis. She is married with two children.
Fuck people like Dana Loesch!

(via Think Progress: Tennessee GOP Lawmaker Campfield Mocks Gun Regulations, Warns Of 'Assault Pressure Cooker')
Tennessee State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) took to his personal blog Sunday to mock U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), suggesting that she and other reformers should now be focusing on a ban on pressure cookers. And when criticized for his insensitivity to the Boston Marathon victims, Campfield doubled-down on the claims, crying "double standard."
Campfield's original post featured a photo of a pressure cooker, similar to that used by the Boston Marathon bombers, and the title "assault pressure cooker." Campfield captioned the post, "Here comes Feinstein again."
In a Monday followup, titled "Inappropriate? Me? Never." Campfield wrote:
Really? If my post was inappropriate talking about "crock pot control" then where is the outrage from the left when they push for gun control after the Sandy Hook shooting? Im sorry if I exposed your double standard…. Well, not really.
Campfield has a long history of questionable comments and actions. Earlier this month, he proposed cutting welfare benefits for kids with poor grades and attacked an eight-year-old critic as a "prop." Last January, he falsely claimed that HIV/AIDS came from the LGBT community, citing a 1988 advice column from a Christian apologetics website. He also authored Tennessee's odious "Don't Say Gay" bill, compared homosexuality to "shooting heroin,"threatened to reduce funding for the University of Tennessee over their sex education week programming, and was a plaintiff in a 2009 "birther" lawsuit demanding President Obama's birth certificate.

Gun Control Reform In Senate Has The Votes To Clear First Hurdle
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) likely has the votes on gun control legislation to clear its first procedural hurdle — a victory for the gun control community, though one that hardly guarantees the bill's passage.
The majority leader announced on Tuesday evening he would submit for a vote the bill to expand background checks, implement a federal trafficking statute and enhance school safety measures. That would set up a Senate vote on Thursday. To help push matters along, President Barack Obama was spending Tuesday calling senators to lobby them on the gun measures, a White House official confirmed. The official did not reveal which senators would be receiving calls.
At least eight Republican senators said that they would support bringing the measures to the Senate floor for amendment and debate. A number of others said they had not ruled out voting to clear that first procedural hurdle.
Should those numbers hold, Reid will have the 60 votes needed to move forward on gun policy reform. Two members of his own caucus said they were noncommittal on the first procedural vote, but their defections (should they happen) would be insufficient to sustain a filibuster.
The procedural victory would give gun control advocates much-needed time to alter the language of the bill. Reid announced that negotiations over the bill were still ongoing between the two parties. But it won't resolve the bill's fate: Reid will have to secure 60 votes once more to end the debate and amendment period. And none of the Republican senators who said they'd support the first procedural vote would go as far as to say they'd sign off on the second.
In the high-stakes debate over gun policy, however, procedural victories are nothing to scoff at, especially with 14 Republican senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) threatening a filibuster of all measures.
Among the GOP congressmen set to buck their own leadership on the vote is Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who called a filibuster "incomprehensible." McCain was joined by Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), who told CBS' "This Morning" that the legislation "deserves an vote up or down."
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who has negotiated background check legislation, has said he would not support an initial filibuster. "Absolutely," his spokesman John Hart replied, when asked if that position still stood. "Eschewing this debate is a 'stupid party' strategy."
Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) announced on Wednesday that he won't back a filibuster, stating that "the discussion needs to be had" on gun legislation.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said it was her "hope" that the Senate "can have a fully open debate, and if that occurs, I will certainly vote to proceed to the bill."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) offered similar conditions for his support on the first cloture vote.
"As long as we get amendments, no, I want to proceed to the bill," he said, when asked about a filibuster. "I think we should be allowed to amend it. I'm not afraid of this debate, I welcome this debate."
Even if Graham were to vote to sustain a filibuster, Reid could still have enough Republican support to overcome it. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) would be a likely "yes" on both the cloture vote and final passage of the bill, having been supportive of background check legislation in the past. His office, however, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Other Republicans left the door open to backing the first cloture vote on gun legislation. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) was noncommittal when asked by reporters on Tuesday. Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) both said they would look at the legislation before deciding whether to support a filibuster. But each said they would filibuster a measure that infringes on Second Amendment rights.

(via Think Progress: As Senate Prepares To Take Up Background Checks, NRA Warns Of Outright Gun Confiscation)
As the U.S. Senate prepares to consider a package of gun violence prevention proposals next week, the National Rifle Association has moved into full campaign mode, fighting against reforms backed by 91 percent of the American public. The group's lobbying arm sent members an "Emergency Action Alert" Wednesday, attempting to scare gun owners into thinking closing background check loopholes would turn them into criminals.
The message warns:
Next week, your Senators are scheduled to vote on a so-called "universal background check" bill being pushed by lifelong anti-gun zealot, Senator Chuck Schumer. Schumer's bill would MAKE YOU A CRIMINAL if you simply transfer a firearm to an aunt, uncle, cousin or lifelong friend without the federal government's approval.
The NRA's slippery-slope fear-mongering continues: "This isn't about making Americans safer…it's about leading law-abiding gun owners down the road to gun registration – and ultimately, GUN CONFISCATION – just like we watched happen in England and Australia." The email then asks readers to call their Senators — and send the NRA money.
The group supported universal background checks as recently as 1999 — and 74 percent of its membership supports the idea now. Even former Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR), head of the NRA's school security task force, has endorsed the idea of expanding background checks.
Federal law prohibits the creation of a national gun registry and the Supreme Court has made clear that "gun confiscation" would be unconstitutional.

Despite What Right-Wing Blogs Say, Obama Doesn't Think He's Above The Constitution | Blog | Media Matters for America
Right-wing blogs took President Obama's comments about gun violence prevention out of context to claim that he complained about being constrained by the Constitution. The full text of his comments, however, shows that he was praising the genius of the document rather than lamenting that the Second Amendment prevents him from confiscating guns.
On April 3, President Obama gave a speech in Colorado to raise support for strengthening gun laws following the passage of new gun violence prevention measures in the state. During his speech, Obama attempted to put gun owners' possible concerns over these measures to rest:
One last thing I'm going to mention is that during this conversation — I hope you don't mind me quoting you, Joe. Joe Garcia, I thought, also made an important point, and that is that the opponents of some of these common-sense laws have ginned up fears among responsible gun owners that have nothing to do with what's being proposed and nothing to do with the facts, but feeds into this suspicion about government.
You hear some of these quotes: "I need a gun to protect myself from the government." "We can't do background checks because the government is going to come take my guns away."
Well, the government is us. These officials are elected by you. (Applause.) They are elected by you. I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place. It's a government of and by and for the people.
And so, surely, we can have a debate that's not based on the notion somehow that your elected representatives are trying to do something to you other than potentially prevent another group of families from grieving the way the families of Aurora or Newtown or Columbine have grieved. We've got to get past some of the rhetoric that gets perpetuated that breaks down trust and is so over the top that it just shuts down all discussion. And it's important for all of us when we hear that kind of talk to say, hold on a second. If there are any folks who are out there right now who are gun owners, and you've been hearing that somehow somebody is taking away your guns, get the facts. We're not proposing a gun registration system, we're proposing background checks for criminals. (Applause.)
Don't just listen to what some advocates or folks who have an interest in this thing are saying. Look at the actual legislation. That's what happened here in Colorado. And hopefully, if we know the facts and we're listening to each other, then we can actually move forward.
But the full transcript of Obama's speech shows that he never expressed a desire to confiscate Americans' firearms or lamented that the Second Amendment prevents him from doing so. In fact, he was approvingly citing the Constitution's protection of individual rights while telling people to be informed about the new gun legislation instead of succumbing to gun proponents' claims that guns will be taken away, and he reminded voters that they could hold the government accountable at the ballot box if they felt their rights were threatened.

Power outage grounds flights at John Wayne
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) – A power outage has briefly grounded the first flights out of John Wayne Airport in Southern California. Airport spokeswoman Jenny Wedge says power was out from 6 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. Friday. The reason for the outage hasn't been disclosed.
The airport's website says flights scheduled to leave from 6:45 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. were delayed about an hour.
Wedge says the outage hit while passengers for the first flights out of the airport were going through security screening. Transportation Security Administration passenger and luggage screening devices were rebooted and passenger screening has resumed.
The number of flights delayed hasn't been disclosed. As of 8 a.m., Wedge says some airlines are reporting 30-minute to one-hour delays.

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate - 1996
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Lynn Whitfield went off her rocker when Martin Lawrence's character, Darnell, did not come home for dinner in A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. All we know is that "love should have brought him home" because it almost cost him a limb.
Whitfield wasn't the only one, though. Take a look at the top 10 scenes from films where Black women finally fight back.

What are the pros? Easy to grow, mild taste
What are the cons? none
Just harvested my first long black spanish radishes. From the other reviews i expected it to have a harsh bite but i found it mild. Maybe different soil conditions affect the taste. Its a great snacking radish and would probably make good pickled radishes too. I didn't have any problem with germination or slow growth. Sprinkling a little triple 10 prior to tillering the row was all it needed.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Book Description:
Is democracy, or "true" democracy, the pinnacle of human social organization? Is the fundamental goal of socialist revolution the broadening and deepening of democratic institutions? Bob Avakian argues that there is something far more subversive, something far more liberating, than democracy. "Democracy: Can't We De Better Than That?" is a major work of Marxist political theory that dissects the fundamental positions and arguments of democratic theory, and that confronts the "crowning achievements" of democratic society. Avakian posits the following theses: democracy is not an end in itself but a means to an end; it is part of the superstructure of society and conforms to and serves a particular economic base; it arises in certain historical conditions and is generally associated with the bourgeois epoch, it never exists in abstract or pure form but always has a definite class character and is conditioned by the fundamental relations between classes; and, finally, democracy has a distinctive role to play in the socialist transition period but will wither away, with the state, with the achievement of communism, and be replaced by qualitatively higher forms of political organization and participation. Avakian examines the notion of democracy as it was developed in ancient Greece and Rome, and subjects the democratic theory of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Paine, and Mill to detailed analysis. He explores the ideological underpinnings of the modern theory of totalitarianism and goes on to critique current western Marxist and Soviet conceptions of the relationship between democracy and revolution. In concluding his study, Avakian sketches the transformative possibilities of socialist revolution, while, at the same time, considering the problems and tensions intrinsic to making such a revolution. "Democracy: Can't We Do Better Than That?" compels one to rethink the structures and possibilities of social organization; its practical and programmatic import is immense. Not all readers will agree with its conclusions, But no one who reads this work will quite be able to view democracy through the same prism again.

way to heavy on the skin and accuated my dry spots. nice coverage tho and did last all day in humidity, even the lightest shade is a tad to dark:(
I liked this foundation overall, but had to return it due to the fact that it accentuated my large pores. It goes only nicely, and wears well through the day. It had almost a powdery finish, but looks natural. I have large pores in mt t-zone, and the formula seemed to settle IN (not on or over) my pores and left little spots that were quite unsightly. (This happened regardless of how much or how little product I used.) Also, I don't use a primer because I'm not a fan of them. So, if large pores are not an issue for you, then this foundation just work out perfectly. The glass bottle doesn't have a pump. but this "issue" is easily solved by inserting a clean Q-tip into the bottle to gather product, and then swabbing it onto the back of my hand (then use fingers, or a brush).
I would not recommend for fair skin tones, I like the product but it came off VERY pink to me, I have fair tan skin I just couldn't find the right color, other than that love it!
Finally a foundation that corrects redness, but is still sheer. . I have dark circles and a red nose.. I am pale and the red really shows. It's great to find a product that blurs the problem areas. I got this in classic ivory (NC20), shade I use in Health Skin -a yellow based Ivory. It looked a bit tanner than the same shade in the Health Skin version. I was worried it look orange on. The shade is darker and does turn a little peachy. But it blends in nicely with my skin,due to the sheerness and color correcting. It doesn't have to be an exact match - like a BB or CC. It tones down red quite well.
It comes out thick, but it spreads blends well bad sheers out. It dries powdery. So it's dryer feeling than many liquid foundations. Does not have great staying power for me, but probably my sunscreen makes that worse. They recommend moisturizing if you have dry spots and using a damp sponge to spread it and using the heat of your fingers to set. I use my fingers and the bb a bit. I have a lot of red and I am pale and this tones it down to acceptable on a good day. So I love that. You cannot build too much coverage. Don't need to. I am pretty red, so acceptable is an achievement. This is dry, so if it could settle into lines. But there is room for a dryer liquid foundation. It's like a better Bourjois CC.
The one bad part is the bottle! It comes in a tall glass bottle with a wide opening. Hard to get it out (think Heinz bottle). Not very hygienic if you have to stick something in it to get it out.
The bottle packaging is horrible. I like the foundation itself.
This was my first foundation, and it's a pretty good introduction.
Easy to use, it's pretty difficult to mess this foundation up.
Very long lasting
Buildable coverage
Looks veeery natural, like I'm not wearing anything at all!
A little goes a long way
It definitely has a pink undertone, which looks weird and ridiculous on my yellow neutral skin.
It often starts breaking up on my face, which makes me nervous
Overall if you have a tan-pink skintone, this should work well for you. It is a nice foundation, and it works nicely for everyday wear.
HOWEVER: Biggest con is the bottle. The bottle is awful, you have to keep it upside down all the time and even then it's obnoxious, you always get too much.

It seems as though everyone & their mom hates this foundation but I actually really enjoy it. I was going back to get my holy grail Skin Clearing foundation but they were out in my color so I just picked this up in the same color (Nude 40) Neutrogena foundations are the only drugstore ones to match my skin tone perfectly, all seem way too pink in other brands. This has the right amount of yellow in it which is why I always come back to Neutrogena. The finish is slightly sticky & a little too moisturizing for my taste (I have super oily skin) but with powder this product does really well & does not fade away. I wore it to the lake on Memorial Day & it hadn't faded even at the end of the day (which is good because the heat & humidity resistance claim is what drew me to this). I wouldn't repurchase just because I think The Skin Clearing one is better for my skin type but in general this is not a bad foundation by any means. The packaging doesn't bother me cuz while it was hard to get out considering this has a thicker, mousse like formula I'd rather have that than a perfect pump with a foundation that is crap.
have been looking for a foundation that I won't have to touch up during the day and I have found it! While this is one of the pricier drug store foundations, I have found that it works great! It does come out a little thick, but it spreads around very nicely. I have not had it settle into any creases or pores. I live in a very dry area and with temps reaching 90+ degrees I have not had any trouble. I will purchase this foundation again!
I live in a humid climate, skin tends to be dry. This foundation went on kind of dry, so I used a creamier moisturizer the next day and it felt better. It does have good coverage, i.e. spider veins. It did last all day even in this humidity. I use Nude or Buff in foundations, this seemed slightly darker than other brands. I use my finger tips to apply and a sponge to even it out. I have only used it for a week. So I will revisit this later. No one else had reviewed it so I wanted to be helpful. I appreciate everyone else's reviews here.
This foundation gave my face a smooth and flawless finish for at least 8 hours. It is a little difficult to get out of the bottle because it is so thick, but it is easy to spread across your face and blend. As with many long wear foundations, this tends to be a little drying, so make sure you exfoliate and moisturize before applying so you will not accentuate the appearance of dry skin. I applied this over my SPF 45 facial sunscreen, and I did not experience any pilling. The finish was satin- matte, with no visible shine. I set it with pressed powder to make sure I had no oiliness crop up during the day. Coverage is medium to full. The SPF 20 protection is a nice feature. I have been wearing it for 4 weeks, but I have not noticed an improvement in my skin tone or texture. I think this is probably because I have worn sunblock 365 days/year since I was in my early twenties and have no sun damage, so I wasn't expecting this foundation to dramatically improve the condition of my skin. I received this from BzzAgent, and I would purchase this again because it is a great value. I think it might be a little heavy to wear in the summer.

And for queer people shrink this into a very small lake.
A very very bigoted lake.
Where if you're not one type of shiny-fish, you're shit out of luck.
And eventually, you'll reach the point where everyone has eaten everyone else's fish.
… Or am I completely butchering that analogy?
Maybe a better way to put it is
You're all shiny-fish (weak-ass analogy for queer fishies)
But different sorts of shinyfish swim in schools away from each other.
And certain types of shinyfish are only seen as desirable because those types of shinyfish have very special attributes, like long flowing tails or are smaller than normal.
And it's hard to find love as a shinyfish because other shinifish only love you for your special tail or size or the way your luster.
And it's nearly impossible to find a shinyfish who doesn't have some kind of self-hate for being a shinyfish in addition to other problems.
So most shinyfish wind up dying alone because it's so hard to find someone who just wants to be happy.

Rumen acidosis results from an excessive acid load in the rumen not neutralized by salivary or feed buffers.
Changes in physiology, metabolism, and behavior of heat-stressed cows increase their susceptibility to both sub-acute (SARA) and acute acidosis. Mishra et al. (1970) observed lower rumen pH when cows were fed 65% forage diets under warm, humid conditions (pH 6.1; 84.9F; 85% RH) compared to cooler, drier conditions (pH 6.4; 64.9F; 50 % RH). When forage in the diet was reduced to 35% the differences in ruminal pH were higher (5.6 vs. 6.1 for warmer and cooler conditions, respectively).
In addition to ruminal pH measurement, it is also important to consider how long the rumen was subjected to this acidity (i.e. hours). A drop in rumen pH below 5.6 during at least 2.5 to 5 hours daily has been suggested as necessary for SARA to occur (AlZahal et al. 2007).
The main changes occurring during heat stress:
- Feed intake and subsequently rumination are reduced, resulting in too little saliva to neutralize rumen acid production.
- Respiration rate increases (panting) to dissipate heat through the lungs with excess loss of carbon dioxide. The result is respiratory alkalosis and bicarbonate is then excreted to compensate.
- Saliva production is reduced during panting, an additional loss of buffer effect.
- Changes in feeding behavior also contribute to rumen acidosis. Cows tend to reduce the number of feeding bouts and increase the food consumed at each meal. Rumen pH declines are more pronounced with the increase in meal size. In addition, cows tend to select finer particles (concentrates) of the TMR (sorting) or reduce forage intake if feeds are offered separately.
The main herd problems observed with SARA during warm weather are a reduction in milk fat and an increase in lameness. In an experiment conducted in Florida with almost 23.000 observations, milk fat dropped from 3.85 to 3.31% when temperatures increased from 48.2 to 96.8oF (Beede et al., 1985).
The increase in the incidence of hoof lesions associated with laminitis occurred several weeks after the cows started to suffer from heat stress. In 10 Wisconsin dairies, September was the worse month of the year for hoof lesions with the incidence exceeding 16%.
Opposed to the other months, lameness caused by lesions were more frequent than those lameness issues originated from hoof infections. The authors suggested that heat stress, which starts to affect cows in July in Wisconsin, could have been the cause of this increased incidence later into the fall season.

I spent my morning rolling around in my oh so similar bed talking to the gent. We love morning phone calls that are not rushed & full of laughter. I will only see him (planned thus far) twice in the next two months, but he just shared something with me that i do wholeheartedly believe will be my strength.
Isaiah 26:3- You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You.
Today: my agenda is fully empty. Always, there is the last bit of college work for the semester to be done & when i say last bit i of course mean- five final projects, one 8 page paper and a fully developed program for a Non Profit Organization loaded with trying to find a house, a job & finishing up my internship.
Without further adieu, in the words of a wise friend, comes my next thought-'As for me… what can be said? I breathe & i know that i am breathing. That is all.'
My day today will simply consist of swaying with the wind all the while being productive with a totally free schedule. Let's go with it.

As i watch this enlightening movie, my desire to be culturally competent stretches. I admire her & her partially selfish desires to leave her life & experience newness. I desire to connect with other cultures on a common ground of simply, life; to be poor in these places & free from so many things. There is such a parallel to many spiritual things in this movie & i surely admire it. I love her eager, mature, yet childlike faith to seek & search for the abundant inner life. Everything in this life is infinite & my heart aches to be enlightened by it all.

'the way'. this is not necessarily a certain 'path' to be on, but rather a way of life- the actions we execute every day- the way we live. I've had it wrong my whole life.
Love is not a feeling. Love is not a relationship. Love is not attraction. Love is not met through selfish, self centered needs. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable. Love keeps no record of being wronged. Love does not rejoice about injustice.
LOVE IS deeper. Love is sacrifice. Love is service. Love is the Sovereign will of God. Love is patient & kind. Love rejoices upon the flowering of truth. Love never gives up. Love never loses faith. Love is always hopeful. Love always endures through every circumstance. Love is fervent.
Live this love. Let this love win.
There cannot be unconditional love where someone meets all the conditions. -Paul Washer
We always believe there is a certain 'type' of person we are attracted to & will marry. It is rather different. This unconditional love cannot thrive in a relationship or marriage where someone meets all your 'conditions'. This is why God's grace & mercy is so abounding in a marriage or relationship that is orchestrated by Him because that person will not meet all of your 'conditions' you have preconceived for them. You will have to live in grace and choose to unconditionally love them through the differences. Love is never about receiving, but always about giving.
there is so much more to this love than we know.

No sophomore slump for Littlefield! Her second novel featuring Stella Hardesty, empowered avenger of abused women, is just as compelling and addictive as her debut. This time Stella goes to bat for a man and tangles with not one but two potential rivals for the attention of Sheriff "Goat" Jones — one of them his not-quite-ex wife. You'll race through the pages of this book and then be sorry to leave Stella and her cohorts behind.
A tornado blows through Prosper, Mo., and it leaves more than overturned cars and damaged property in its wake. Just as Goat and Stella's dinner date starts to get interesting, his ex, Brandy, appears on Goat's doorstep. Meanwhile, down at the fairgrounds, the snack shack has blown down and there's a woman's body encased in the foundation. The lead suspect is Neb Donovan, who poured the foundation a few years ago, back when he was addicted to "hillbilly heroin," aka Oxycontin. Neb's wife asks Stella to help clear him, and Stella, aided by her newly computer-savvy employee, Chrissy, does what she can, both legally and not so much. (MINOTAUR, Jun., 304 pp., $24.99)

The generation of cooks coming up may never have heard of Julee Rosso, but Julee and her co-author the late Sheila Lukins wrote a cookbook, well two cookbooks really, that was a must-have for everyone I know who ever poked around a kitchen. The Silver Palate Cook Book, which grew out of a very, popular catering business in New York, came out first. The New Basics was next and that has a recipe for cold poached salmon that I still use at least once a year. (And I can't count the number of times that I have given that book to some favorite person at Christmas.) As anyone who lives around Saugatuck-Douglas knows, Julee Rosso still thrives as the proprietor of Wickwood Inn in Saugatuck. I am happily reminded of that fact once a month when she sends me her newsletter, always full of interesting items. One of the fabulous things about Wickwood is that it is as charming---perhaps even more charming--- to visit in winter as it is in the summertime. Julee still knows how to cook and has great appetizers and of course, cookies all over her B&B. There are a lot of special deals at Wickwood starting Thanksgiving weekend if you are looking for a cozy, extraordinary Lake Michigan experience you might like this idea.
