2AM News: The week in review April 23-29

Second Amendment News Digest

Self defense stories this week from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Minnesota, Virginia, Illinois, Florida, North Carolina, Maine, Tennessee, Oregon, Montana, South Carolina, Connecticut, Wisconsin and even South Africa ... gun grabbing mayors, not wanting facts to intrude, hold their 'victim disarmament summit' and deny a seat to the National Shooting Sports Foundation ... the fascist governor of Arizona signs a 'self defense bill' but the Senate fails to overide her veto of an 'emergency' gun seizure bill ... pol in Oklahoma is also in favor of "emergency" victim disarmament. On the bright side, pols in New Hampshire come to their senses after intense lobbying from gun rights groups and support self defense. Also on the bright side, (no matter what you think of his ideology) President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is promoting citizen militas and arming his countrymen.

Commentaries this week on Patriots Day, concealed carry, pro-gun victories and political correctness. Have a great week, and don't forget to check how you made out in the 2nd annual TCF Combat Rifle Postal Match (targets were due yesterday.)

Til next week
