There's been a bipartisan victory of sorts for gun owners. From NRA-ILA:

An overwhelming, bipartisan majority of members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have signed an amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," brief supporting the NRA’s position that the Second Amendment is incorporated against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. The amicus brief, bearing the signatures of 251 Members of Congress and 58 Senators, was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court today in the case of McDonald v. City of Chicago.

Here's the brief.

I noticed one conspicuous absence in particular among the signatories: formerly "pro gun" Kirsten Gillibrand, who abandoned her supportive gun-owning constituents to embrace the political opportunities of citizen disarmament on the national stage.

George Soros once said he'd spend his entire fortune if someone would guarantee that George Bush would lose the last election as a result. He later claimed he was joking. What isn't a joke is that foreign financiers and domestic despots are willing to spend enormous amounts of money in order to see gun rights abolished in this country. All that stands between them and their dream of a ban on gun ownership is a few million gun owners.

Groups like the Joyce Foundation (of which Barack Obama was a board member for eight years) and the David & Lucille Packard Foundation work tirelessly to try to undermine the Second Amendment. The Joyce Foundation, an organization listing assets of nearly $1 billion on their last financial statement, has paid out over $12 million in grants in the last 7 years to gun control groups in the Great Lakes region. This includes Saul Cornell, the Ohio State University Associate Professor of History who has written several anti-gun books and come under severe criticism for allegedly manufacturing his data and source material. They also fund the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, the Violence Policy Center, and other gun control groups using donations from wealthy elitists with an agenda of disarmament.

Standing in their way are only the gun rights groups in this country like the National Rifle Association and Ohioans Against Concealed Carry. These groups are funded not by the deep pockets of foreign investors and billionaires like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but by everyday citizens and gun owners who just want to be left unmolested and to not see their Constitutional Rights sold to the highest bidder.

St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner Kurt Hofmann speculates on potential consequences for a group of current and retired military and law enforcement personnel who believe their oath to the Constitution should have bearing on their professional conduct. In today's column, he asks "Will Pentagon try to crush Oath Keepers?"

The immediate basis for Hofmann's concern is a report following up on the Fort Hood shootings:

The Pentagon may reconsider rules governing participation in extremist organizations that some lawmakers say appear outdated and too narrow in light of the shooting rampage at the Army base in Texas.
