The recent deluge of attacks against the second amendment were completely predictable in the aftermath of the Colorado massacre, but what perhaps wasn’t so expected was the fact that a lot of them have come from so-called Republicans. Although normally aligned with the right to keep and bear arms, over the last week numerous self-proclaimed conservatives have proven themselves to be wolves in sheep’s clothing. The most recent rhetorical assault on gun rights came yesterday courtesy of Reagan appointee and so-called intellectual anchor of the Supreme Court’s conservative wing, Justice Antonin Scalia. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Scalia said that the second amendment leaves rooms for certain types of weapons to be regulated. “It will have to be decided in future cases,” Scalia told host Chris Wallace, adding that “They had some limitations on the nature of arms that could be borne,” when the Constitution was signed. Scalia’s remarks prompted outrage from conservatives, who accused him of selling out to the political left. Other luminaries on the political right did not wait long before joining their contemporaries on the left to call for gun rights to be restricted. Within 48 hours of the ‘Batman’ shooting, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, labeled a “GOP kingmaker” in the United States, voiced his support for restricting the second amendment, tweeting, “We have to do something about gun controls.” Similarly, in several shows broadcast in the days following the Colorado massacre, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has repeatedly advocated the creation of a national database of gun owners, currently prohibited by federal law, joining the likes of Piers Morgan, Michael Moore and Michael Bloomberg in savaging the second amendment. Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol also reacted to the Aurora shooting by calling for a reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. He was joined by talk radio host Michael Savage, who despite modeling himself as one of the Obama administration’s most ardent critics also advocated reintroducing the ban. With so-called “conservatives” like this, who needs liberals? Given the fact that virtually all of the names mentioned above are ardent supporters of Mitt Romney, who signed into law an assault weapons ban while Governor of Massachussets, in addition to making repeated public statements about supporting strict gun control laws in order to “provide for our safety,” whoever wins the presidential election, the next four years are going to be a battle for gun rights activists. It’s ironic that while many conservative and Republican icons have joined the political left in exploiting the Colorado massacre to rhetorically ambush the second amendment, the federal government under the Obama administration is simultaneously arming itself to the teeth as part of preparations to deal with unruly Americans in the event of civil unrest. While the Department of Homeland Security puts out requests for ”riot gear” to deal with civil unrest during the upcoming RNC, DNC and presidential inauguration, the federal agency also recently awarded defense contractor ATK a deal to provide the DHS with 450 million rounds of bullets over a five year period. The DHS has also recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights. Leading conservatives don’t seem too fussed at the fact that the federal government is gearing up for violence as it targets politically active conservatives as domestic extremists. However, when it comes to calling for Americans to be disarmed and the second amendment to be eviscerated, the Republican establishment shows equal if not greater zeal than the left in rushing to blame tragedies such as the Aurora shooting on God-given rights enshrined in the very same Constitution that conservatives are supposed to uphold and cherish.
Poster Comment: George W. loophole Bush - "I believe in background checks at gunshows, OR ANYWHERE." Willard Mitt AWban Romney Bill Kristol Michael Savage Rupert Murdoch Rudy Giuliani Lindsey Graham Bill O'Reilly Orrin Hatch (R–UT) Larry Craig (R-ID) Gordon Smith (R-OR) James Jeffords (R-VT) And that's only a partial listing. http://www.strike-the-root.com/3/powers/powers2.html Bottom line... Both wings of the D&R party are the same.

I hope Savage is doing live radio tonight!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
The RINO'S are just as afraid as the Leftards about those guns being used against them... And rightfully so because quite a few of them deserve it too!!
Choosing and voting for a presidential candidate is like picking which STD you want to suffer from….
The Republican tag doesn't mean Constitutionalist.
You can find the answer to your question here and here. Valarie Jarrett and Cass Sunstein wrote the documented plan “By Any Means Necessary." In effect, they're not gonna' take "no" for an answer come November. o'Bungler will not allow the elections to proceed unimpeded. If he can't organize a Reichstag event, he'll try to fix the election. And if it appears he can't do that, then there won't be an election. The pubbies won't challenge him, because they're afraid of him- whether there's dirt on them, personal threats, whatever... nobody wants to be the nail that sticks up... to get hammered down.
"Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." Michael Rivero
Not even one of the Republicans mentioned in this article is a conservative.
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
