GRNC Alert 01-11-2011:

Republicans Preparing to Sell Out Gun Owners

First let us apologize for sending a second alert today. We thought the deck was clear with the previous one, but then the following piece of finely crafted lunacy popped onto our radar.

Politicians are so much like children. You try to raise them right, give them money they need to reach their goals and as soon as they reach them... well - pausing to find a non-violent metaphor - they sell you out and side with those who hate you. That seems to be the case with RINO Republican Peter King of New York. In an effort to be a part of "never letting a good crisis go to waste," King has introduced a prize winning piece of gun control legislation.

King's bill would make it illegal to knowingly carry a gun within a thousand feet of "certain high-profile" government officials... whoever they may be. We suppose this may lead to a bureau to determine a classification for "certain high-profile government officials." Of course that would probably be only natural from a politician from a state so fond of registering things, but we digress.

At the end of the day, we in North Carolina can only look after our own. We must make sure that our elected Congressional representatives remember why we sent them there. They must be reminded (unfortunately frequently) what we sent them to do and most significantly, what NOT to do. Let them know that you will not tolerate ANY gun control out of them and that they should use their influence to pull RINOs such as King over to the right side of the equation.

As we noted earlier, Democrat Heath Shuler put in a nice plug for the importance of the Concealed Carry law which GRNC engineered passage of. So don't forget to encourage the so-called Blue Dog Democrats to stand with real Americans for real American rights.
