RKBA is a DKos group of second amendment supporters who also have progressive and liberal values. We don't think that being a liberal means one has to be anti-gun. Some of us are extreme in our second amendment views (no licensing, no restrictions on small arms) and some of us are more moderate (licensing, restrictions on small arms.) Moderate or extreme, we hold one common belief: more gun control equals lost elections. We don't want a repeat of 1994. We are an inclusive group: if you see the Second Amendment as safeguarding our right to keep and bear arms individually, then come join us in our conversation. If you are against the right to keep and bear arms, come join our conversation. We look forward to seeing you, as long as you engage in a civil discussion. RKBA stands for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

young people need moral and psychological protection.
Supreme Court justices will meet Resident Evil 4 on Tuesday in a divisive free-speech case that's rated M for mature.
Eleven states, including Florida and Texas, have joined California in urging the court to uphold a law that bans the sale of violent video games to minors younger than 18.

Recently, we had an election. In Michigan, IT REALLY SUCKED. Everything went GOP. Legislature, Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Judiciary, lots of House Reps...it turned out to be a rather shitty night all and all.
I'd like to move.
What does this have to do with RKBA? Well, I'm not moving someplace like New York, Wisconsin, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, or Hawaii (not an extensive list), due to their firearm laws. I'd prefer moving to Vermont since it's the same climate (as in weather) as the UP (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and actually has liberal RKBA Senators.
So if anyone knows of an employment opportunity for a firearm instructor computer dork with a couple computer degrees, a cert or three and years of computer repair/tech support experience, let me know please.
Now, another item about gun shows and the bullshit loophole statement:
Firearm use by Offenders:

Source of gun 1997 1991

In 1997 among State inmates possessing
a gun, fewer than 2% bought their firearm at
a flea market or gun show, about 12% from
a retail store or pawnshop, and 80% from
family, friends, a street buy, or an illegal
source.
Our Tuesday diary will be about the NRA endorsed Dems and how they did.
