NY Confiscates Guns From People on Anti-Anxiety Meds
Not surprisingly, there are many people who don't fully understand the consequences that can come from stricter gun laws. Sometimes these consequences are unintended, other times not. Many believe that if they obey the law and go through the proper procedures for obtaining a gun, then there is no reason for them to worry about having their guns taken by the government. The link below is an example of how wrong those people are. Many of President Obama's executive orders (see previous post) are focused on making it easier for the government to access health information for background checks. On the surface this may seem like a great idea that could possible detect those with serious mental issues, like the man responsible for the Sandy Hook murders, before it is too late. But once the rules are in place they can, and will, be stretched as far as the government can get away with. How many people do you know that take medication for ADHD, anxiety, or depression? Maybe you're one of them? This story is exclusive to New York, but don't think for a second that "it could never happen" anywhere else.

Illinois To Begin Following the 2nd Ammendment
Although gun laws are very strict in some states, such as New York and California, Illinois is the only state that actually prohibits any and all concealed weapons. But that will change this year. Last month, the Illinois 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state must begin offering some sort of concealed carry program.

Thomas Jefferson said, "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." How long will we continue to be "free men"? I hope we're all paying close attention to what's going on in Washington right now.
According to Vice President Biden, the President is looking at using Executive Action for gun control. What does that mean? It means bypassing congress.
This is what he said today.
“There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet."
“And as the president said, if our actions result in only saving one life, they’re worth taking. But I’m convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.”
