A new Quinnipiac poll finds the gun background-check amendment co-sponsored by REPUBLICAN Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) helped push his approval rate to 48% -- the highest point of his three-plus-year term.

"Talks to revive gun control legislation are quietly under way on Capitol Hill as a bipartisan group of senators seeks a way to bridge the differences that led to last week's collapse of the most serious effort to overhaul the country's gun laws in 20 years."
(New York Times)
The NRA meanwhile, doesn't think the gun fight is over and is still running ads in key senators' states.

Notice the 5 cameras when they first started suddenly went to one lone camera, seemed they weren't even wasting their time and batteries to record such a lame event, also notice the faces of the people, they know what a failure they are, 90% yeah right, here is the real 90% and this was just in Albany, not a DC march.

Interesting discussion but as usual the leftist present very bad advice, Whoopi said to have a shotgun and just pump it and that will be enough to scare away a burglar, truth is that doesn't always work.

It would probably work for the majority of burglars, but not for a home invasion where a confrontation is planned as part of the crime. Do you consider Whoopie a spokesman or an expert on burglars? I sure don't.

I don't either but it seemed as there was many in the audience who took her words as fact which is scary, she then said you don't even need to have the gun loaded

Why would anyone take the word of a comedian or actor on this subject??? Whoopie??? That's as dumb as taking the work of actor Charlton Heston! They know no more about crime or burglaries than any other citizen... but some people follow their words and worship at their feet as if they actually knew something. Amazing huh!

Florida cop fired for eighth time Leaves his Police AR 15 with "daddy".
Quoted Text
The Opa-Locka Police Department in Florida on Wednesday argued before an arbitrator that one of their own officers deserved to be fired — for the sixth time — because he left his department AR-15 assault-style rifle with a friend.
The department told arbitrator Jeanne Wood that Sgt. German Bosque should be terminated because he had left a city-owned, 30-round assault rifle like the one used to slaughter 20 elementary school children last year in Connecticut in the hands of his then-girlfriend’s father.
Bosque’s attorney, however, argued that the rifle was in good hands with the girlfriend’s father, who Bosque called “Daddy,” because he was a licensed security guard.
“Anyone can legally purchase this weapon,” union attorney Andrew Axelrad said on Bosque’s behalf.
“Not just anyone can purchase one from the Opa-locka police department,” city attorney Joe Geller shot back.
According to WFOR, Bosque has been fired eight times by three police departments in Florida, including six firings from his job at Opa-locka. WFOR noted that Bosque was the “most disciplined, fined, fired, arrested police officer in the state.”

Poll: 29% Think Armed Rebellion Might Soon Be Necessary
Poll: 29% Think Armed Rebellion Might Soon Be Necessary ~ 18% of Democrats ~ 27 percent of independents ~ 44 percent of Republicans.
Most interesting finding of the poll: Support levels were similar among males and females but higher among less educated voters.

On the morning of July 4, 2013, Independence Day, we will muster at the National Cemetery & at noon we will step off to march across the Memorial Bridge, down Independence Avenue, around the Capitol, the Supreme Court, & the White House, then peacefully return to Virginia across the Memorial Bridge. This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back, having shown that free people are not welcome in Washington, & returning with the resolve that the politicians, bureaucrats, & enforcers of the federal government will not be welcome in the land of the free.
You are welcome to attend unarmed as a supporter, or armed with a recording device.
If this page gets to 10,000 attendees by June 1st, & we have the critical mass necessary to pull this off, (1,000 actual attendees) we will march. Please spread the word, share this event, & invite all your friends.
