Privacy rights of illegal alien felons trump law-abiding gun owners
November 11, 2008
In Oregon last year, the Mail Tribune asked the Jackson County sheriff to provide a list of those with a concealed carry permit. The sheriff said no, and the case went to court, but did you know that a 2005 request to provide a list of all illegal aliens convicted of a crime - including felonies - was turned down by a judge referencing privacy rights?
You would think a list of convicted felons that were supposed to be deported may have news value. The federal government was supposed to immediately deport them after the sentence was served, but reporters found numerous examples where the criminals just mixed right back in with the U.S. population after release. But nooooo - you can’t get that list, it may lead to racial profiling.

At least I think so. The NRA has a new ad that takes on Obama’s record against an individuals right to protect themselves with a firearm.

Biden won’t let Obama take his guns - or ours
September 20, 2008
My first thought when I heard about Biden’s statement concerning firearm ownership was - I’ll bet my last dollar he was not in San Fransisco, Seattle, Chicago or New York. No way. Biden stated, “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey.”
Biden spoke at the United Mine Workers of America’s annual fish fry in Castlewood, Virginia, just about as far away from Washington D.C. you can get while still staying in the state. Both the NRA and the Gun Owners of America give Biden and Obama F ratings.
