Colorado Attorney General Signs Amicus Brief Supporting Second Amendment Incorporation

Please Thank Attorney General John Suthers!

Two-thirds of the nation’s attorneys general have filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the case of NRA v. Chicago and hold that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This bi-partisan group of 33 attorneys general, along with the Attorney General of California in a separate filing, agrees with the NRA’s position that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental individual right to keep and bear arms, disagreeing with the decision recently issued by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Attorney General Suthers was one of the many who agrees that the Second Amendment is a fundamental individual right and signed the amicus brief. Please call Attorney General Suthers at (303) 866-4500 and thank him for standing up in support of the Second Amendment. You may also e-mail him at attorney.general@state.co.us.

Guns, God, words and crowds

Paul Danish, frequent speaker at the Pro Second Amendment Committee Awards banquet, pens an accurate and insightful essay pointing to the dangers that the American "Bill of Rights" protect for its citizens.

Guns are dangerous things. But the qualities that make guns dangerous are the same ones that empower people and make them free...

The kindergarten assertion that “sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me” is demonstrable rubbish...

A personal evolution of opinion on gun-ownership rights.

...there’s my obligation as a mother and a neighbor, not to mention my obligation to myself. Suffering martyrdom for a noble cause is one thing; allowing myself to be raped and killed in order to show compassion to violent criminals is another.

July 18th IDPA Match in Rifle Colorado

Shooters:

Just a quick note to remind you the Classifier will be offered again at RSC's July 18th match. Cost will be $20.00 and you will not be able to shoot the regular match if you opt for the Classifier.

Char Stuart will again conduct the Classifier, and requests that you notify her of your desire to shoot it no later than Wednesday, July 15th, so she can get a clear count of those who wish to participate. She can thus prepare appropriately to run it smoothly and efficiently.

Char's email address is iskater@rof.net. The sooner you inform her, the easier it will be for her to plan. And, if for some reason you must rescind your place in the Classifier, please notify Char so she can make any necessary adjustments.

Regards,

Ken Andrews

Quote from John Adams

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

-John Adams

Switchblade law opponents cut in Hill fight

This article from the WASHINGTON TIMES

"Everyone from our first responders, law enforcement officials, Boy Scouts and hunters will be affected by this regulation," said Rep. Bob Latta, Ohio Republican, after the House Rules Committee rejected his bill to block the change. "It is unacceptable to think that we as citizens cannot carry a pocketknife for work or recreation purposes."

Critics of the regulation - including U.S. knife manufacturers and collectors, the National Rifle Association, sportsmen's groups and a bipartisan group of at least 79 House members - say it would rewrite U.S. law defining what constitutes a switchblade and potentially make de facto criminals of the estimated 35 million Americans who use folding knives.

The new knife rules proposed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would affect the interpretation of the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 to include any spring-assisted or one-handed-opening knife.

The law defines a "switchblade" as any knife having a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button or other device in the handle, or by operation of inertia or gravity.

Customs officials dismiss fears that the new language will outlaw ordinary pocketknives, saying the change was issued to clear up conflicting guidelines for border agents about what constitutes an illegal switchblade that cannot be imported into the United States. The rule could be imposed within 30 days if not blocked.
