Gun Tests' focus is on performance before the bullet hits the target. 'We realize that results from our test gun can’t be extrapolated to every possible gun readers might own, we wanted to test ammunition in a fashion most consumers would be able to duplicate, and in fact, should conduct on their own. But our framework can potentially save you money and time by narrowing the list of candidates you might try in your own gun, and you can also follow our system to see if a given round performs for you like it did for us.

Judge David Hamilton

Obama Pushing Anti-Gun "Radical's Radical" to the Federal Bench

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Gun Owners of America group is warning gun owners to oppose the appointment of Judge David Hamilton to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

A GAO letter said, "Not surprisingly, Judge Hamilton's written answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee show his lack of understanding regarding the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. While Hamilton cannot ignore what the Supreme Court said in DC v. Heller (2008), he refuses to admit that the individual right to keep and bear arms applies anywhere outside of Washington, D.C. -- instead, he just says he will rely on evolving "case law [as] developed in earlier incorporation cases."

Also, Judge Hamilton spent a brief stint as a fundraiser for ACORN, an organization that lobbies against Second Amendment rights, most recently supporting a one-gun-a-month ordinance in Jersey City, New Jersey.

A GAO statement about Hamilton said, "Gun owners have much to be concerned about. Any time a judge who believes in rewriting the Constitution is elevated to sit as an appellate judge, that's a scary thing -- especially given the fact that most cases never reach the U.S. Supreme Court and are, thus, decided at lower levels in the federal judiciary."

Step by small step this administration is getting everything set up for the big day. I think they will really start going after gun laws right after the 2010 elections.

With some contributions of time, money, and hard work now, we may just see the conservatives take control of the House and Senate, and put Obama in the same position Clinton was in back in '96. How cool would that be?

If we are composed and united against the Obama push, we as a people can send him packing. He will end up back in Daly land organizing crime, not communities. He will have to carry a concealed weapon to defend his ideals. Remember, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride". The damage his appointments are capable of will carry well into the future if we don't stop them in 2012. Lee W is correct, the movement has begun.

Maybe I am just gettin old but if we can last untill the 2010 election and get some good thinking people in office we just might be OK but I just got a feeling that with all the anti-gunners being place in offices all over and with a attack on one of our own military bases I got that old feeling I usesd to get in Nam that the fit is about to hit the shan.

Yes, guys, we really do have to put on the push for a turnover of the US Congress in November 2010. If that can be done in such an overwelmingly decisive manner that Obama backs off of his quest for national disarmament, it may truly begin the sounding of the death knell for a second term of totalitarian socialism.

As a last resort, the founding fathers gave the people the last word. It is called the Second Amendment. Do we as citizens that have let it come to this have the guts to stand and take back our country? I guess it remains to be seen.

olderndirtcop, you have my word that I will NEVER hand over my guns. Whatever the cost, whatever it takes.
