Chicago Gun BanOn Monday, November 23, 2009, Gun Owners of America and Gun Owners Foundation filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the United States Supreme Court in support of four Chicago residents who are seeking to invalidate a city ordinance prohibiting them from owning or possessing a handgun in their own home (McDonald v. Chicago). The GOA/GOF brief argues that the privileges or immunities clause of the 14th Amendment is the correct basis for ruling that the Second Amendment protects the individual right of all Americans, not just those living in Washington, DC. This brief also points out the pitfalls of using the due process clause to reach this conclusion. Is the Senate health plan anti-gun?By: Susan Ferrechio
The Senate's 2,074-page health care bill doesn't mention guns, but some gun owners are worried certain provisions could eventually be used to discourage or even restrict gun ownership as part of a government effort to influence behavior as it broadens its control over the health care system. The day before the Senate passed the $848 billion health bill on a party-line vote, the Virginia-based Gun Owners of America sent out a mass alert to its 300,000 members, warning them that the legislation "will most likely dump your gun-related health data into a government database. ... This includes any firearms-related information your doctor has gleaned or any determination of post traumatic stress disorder or something similar, that can preclude you from owning firearms."

Reflections of the Chairman
Dismantling America, piece by piece Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers - that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish? [Continue reading]

Rep. Conyers Sees No Point in Reading the Bills Years ago, GOA's Founder and Chairman H.L. "Bill" Richardson wrote a book entitled, What Makes You Think We Read the Bills? As a former state senator, Richardson knew of the antics and dirty tricks that go on in our legislatures across the country. Today, Americans are beginning to demand that their legislators read the bills. But despite the appeals to do so, some legislators -- like Democrat Rep. John Conyers of Michigan -- are digging in their heels. Take a look at this video and see for yourself.
In What Makes You Think We Read the Bills, you'll be both amused and outraged at Sen. Richardson's tales of the day to day shenanigans in your state and national capitols. Throughout, Sen. Richardson's breezy text is the underlying theme that "this can't go on much longer, enough is enough!" He offers many thoughtful reflections on why our legislatures have gone off the tracks, and scores of helpful suggestions how to put things right. You can order your copy of What Makes You Think We Read the Bills at a special price of $4.95 plus shipping and handling. To order your copy today, please go to: http://www.gunowners.com/bookst.htm
