It seems like the liberals politicians will use any reason to turn the argument around towards an anti second amendment push. A rational person cannot think that more gun control laws will have anything to do with safety either from terrorists or criminals, as he only people obeying laws are NOT the terrorists or criminals. And don't forget, Mayor Bloomberg is the same elitest, socialist snob who thinks he knows better than anyone else.
The following is an Legislative Alert from the National Rifle Association.
According to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the recent terror bombings in Boston require a new interpretation of the Constitution to give the government greater power to protect
"The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry," Bloomberg said during a recent press conference. "But we live in a complex world where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change."
According to a Breitbart.com article, the anti-gun Bloomberg claims that recent attacks on the Second Amendment have left him confident that such re-interpretation is possible.
"The Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to and reasonable gun laws," Bloomberg said. He employs the tactic of incrementally "lowering the bar" by suggesting that Americans should be willing to give up a degree of freedom in exchange for a degree of security.
"It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our obligation first and foremost is to keep our kids safe in the schools; first and foremost, to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event; first and foremost is to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or go into our parks," he said. "We cannot let the terrorists put us in a situation where we can't do those things. And the ways to do that is to provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection."
Bloomberg would do well to remember what Benjamin Franklin had to say on the subject back in 1775: "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

More On Welfare Than Employed!
The Death Spiral,.........We are Doomed. These 11 States now have more people on Welfare than they do Employed!
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reported that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168 a day in government support.
What's the problem with that much support?
Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20 an hour.
And to cap it off, a reported 12 to 15 million Americans are eligible for welfare who are not yet on it, hence the Federal Government's efforts to enlist/enroll people on welfare,......"Free food, sign up here!" If, say 13 million more sign up that would bring the rolls to a full 60 million on welfare. Are you kidding me!!

Democrats Politicians Want an Obamacare Exemption
This week there was a big story that the NRSC wanted to make sure nobody missed, since the mainstream meida is not reporting on it. When the NRSC saw it, they did a doubletake. According to Politico, Harry Reid and the Democrats in Congress are seeking to exempt themselves from Obamacare.
That's right.
Those responsible for forcing Obamacare on all of us - against our will - are trying to give themselves (and their staff in Washington, D.C.) a way out. Democrats in Congress responsible for Obamacare should be subject to the same high costs, government mandates, red tape, and limited choices that they brought onto everyone else.
We believe that all Americans should be exempt from Obamacare, which is why we need a conservative Senate. If you agree that Democrats in Congress should play by the same rules they forced on all of us then please take a moment to sign our petition.
We've had enough of Harry Reid. Enough of Chuck Schumer. Enough of Al Franken. We need to hold these liberal Democrats accountable, and we need your help. If we have to live with the consequences of Obamacare, they should too.
Please sign the petition to tell Democrats that they should repeal Obamacare for everyone, not just themselves.
Thank you,
Brad Dayspring
Communications Director, NRSC
