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.

From The Onion NOT
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
The Ministry of Health here is campaigning to ban the sale of guns in Iraq. Toy guns, that is. Baghdad’s toy markets are stocked with plastic weapons in all prices and sizes: toy guns, tanks, knives, uniforms, even silencers. In a country where guns and military gear are heartbreakingly prevalent, basic training begins early. "It’s the responsibility of the community to get rid of these toys," said Dr. Emad Abdulrazaq, national adviser for mental health at the ministry. "They make it easier for a child to make the next step to real violence, because every day he enjoys guns."
From Mandel, comments from KV:
People can be stupid (KV's name for the link)
This just makes me shake my head. How stupid can you be?
Shadan:
Chilling, indeed:
Moments before he was shot and killed on New Year's Day, a local politician in the Philippines was taking a photo of his family.
Caught in the frame: The killer taking aim.
A funny quote from Tom:
Mother-in-law: "Please tell me you’re not taking your gun to the New Year’s party."
Me: "No, of course not..."
MIL: "Good..."
Me: "I’m taking [Mrs. Seaview]’s gun. It’s much lighter."
More liberals and guns: here. Some Kossacks are already there. :-D
