Our citizens are making their voices heard as is the WV citizens defense council. We should see a nice slide to an even more conservative position after the election. Capito(R) will most likely win Rockefellers seat and our district should replace her seat with a pro gun conservative. Only time will tell.

I'm not as sanguine about the prospects as the other posters in this thread. I read in the Clarksburg paper the other day that the sheriffs in this and the surrounding counties question the wisdom of additional gun laws, but if the proposed legislation passes, they will enforce whatever is passed. Am I on earth, or what! If the feds won't allow local law enforcement of immigration and other federal laws, why should local law enforcement be willing and eager to enforce laws that infringe on a citizen's second amendment right.
I will be glad when the third senator from New York (Jay Rockefeller) leaves office, but I believe that he will be replaced by another democrat who is more concerned about gay rights than he/she is about the rights guaranteed under the constitution.

I just emailed the following to the Commander of the association of combat veterans in WV. I would encourage everyone to get in contact with your states veterans associations and push them to also fight!
Commander,
I am not a veteran but have the upmost respect for our veterans and our Second Amendment rights. I am writing to request that you send Senator Manchin an email on behalf of all our WV veterans. As we speak, Senator Manchin is spearheading legislation to pass universal background checks and limit magazine capacities. Senator Manchin has broken his promise to West Virginians essentially trading our veteran's hard fought rights away in exchange for a position of power promised by Barrack Obama.
His legislation will eliminate hundreds of thousands of veteran's ability to exercise their second amendment rights to own and bear arms. Our great state has a long history of military service and pride. He does not represent the citizens of WV and more importantly our veterans. I urge you to rally our state's great veterans to join you in defending their rights. Provide them with the resources an direction to make it loud and clear to Senator Manchin that West Virginia's veterans will not be sold out for his own political gain. Thank you for your consideration during this critical time in our country's history.

Gun Owners of America

Oppose Joe Manchin’s Veterans Gun Ban
and National Gun Registry
Reports out of Capitol Hill reveal that just-reelected turncoat West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is about to stick a big knife in the back of American gun owners. And to make matters worse, he's lying about what he’s doing.
Both Manchin and House anti-gun crazy Carolyn McCarthy are claiming to be “working with NRA” to enact gun bans and national gun registries. NRA says flatly that Manchin is lying, and we believe he is. (The Hill, 1/24/13)
Ironically, Manchin was the “gun owner's best friend” on November 5 -- the day before his reelection to a six-year term let him to pull a great big “gotcha” on those West Virginians who were tricked into believing his representations.
But make no mistake about it: Joe Manchin’s draft would impose a gun ban on veterans and would set up the framework for a national gun registry.
150,000 honest law-abiding veterans are currently in the NICS system. They didn’t do anything wrong; they honorably served their country. But when they sought VA counseling for a traumatic combat experience, the VA appointed a fiduciary to oversee their fiscal affairs and then took away their guns. And, again, there are 150,000 honest veterans in the system.
New York Senator Charles Schumer viciously fought a Coburn amendment on the DoD bill which would require that veterans get their day in court before their rights were taken away from them, and he won.
What the Manchin bill is about is insuring that “bad guys” like veterans can’t get guns. And, under Barack Obama's “Executive Action #1,” the NICS list could soon include tens of millions of additional soldiers, police, firemen, and other law-abiding Americans.
But veteran disarmament is not the only problem with Joe Manchin’s gun ban.
Manchin's bill would set the framework for a national gun registry and impose a chokehold on gun sales. There are at least four big reasons for this:
FIRST: Every gun owner in the country would have a “Form 4473.” Increasingly, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives are going into gun dealerships and illegally copying all of those 4473's.
SECOND: The FBI refuses to tell us how or whether it's complying with federal law by destroying the Brady Check names, rather than keeping them for a national gun registry.
THIRD: As it is, the Brady Check system is breaking down on days such as last year’s Black Friday -- outlawing all gun purchases. If you have to drive 200 miles from your farm to sell your gun to your neighbor, this effectively outlaws any efforts to sell or buy a gun.
FOURTH: Increasingly, the FBI is blocking transfers because someone’s name is “similar” to someone else. When the legal purchaser complains, the FBI's response is “Sue us!”
ACTION: Please click here to contact your U.S. Senators. Ask them to oppose Joe Manchin’s veterans gun ban and national gun registry.

They train you, they use you and then they fear you. What do they expect? Oh, with the DD214 you have to have a mind meld to erase what was drilled into your head.
Just saw a video of Chuck Baldwin's where he was speaking about how Tyrant's fear the people... and hate Jesus, the Author of Liberty. It is pretty straight forward about Oboyimanutjob fear of our weapons being the reason he's trying to get rid of them. He's just like those LAPD cops... he just hasn't sent his minions out in full armor--- yet. Liberty Fellowship MT > Video Sermons
