| An NRA-backed incoming congressman from Utah said Friday he would be open to a discussion of some gun-control measures in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting. "I would consider looking at some of the larger magazines and other things if it gave us an opportunity to talk about the other things as well," Rep.-elect Chris Stewart told The Salt Lake City Tribune. "Let’s talk about the big picture." Stewart said that "big picture" must include increased outreach and treatment for those suffering from mental illness.

Ain´t this grand. You will note you never hear Democrats coming forward, it´s always Republicans. To be terribly redundant, if you give Democrats an inch they will take a mile.

He hasn´t even taken his Oath to protect the Constitution, and here he is, admitting that he will violate that Oath!
Republicans have a death wish, and I am not going down with them.

The "Big Picture" Representative-Elect is called the Constitution, perhaps you´ve heard of it. The writers of the document even included a process for amending it. Let´s try following the rules already written, for a change.

Why is it that liberals only talk about the high "expense" of things when it involves self-defense or national defense?

#4: he will. I wouldn´t trust Justin Sink not to be putting a spin on the comments either. Sink is among the worst of the worst for slanting news coverage.
Still, Utah voters will not be amused.

He is probably referring to the Democrats possibly taking a reasonable position on this issue, but that will not happen, as the liberal Democrats, headed by VP Biden, are now on a mission to ban as many firearms as possible, and put all the remaining guns and gun owners in a government data base that they can someday use as a basis for confiscation of all firearms, after some nut case carries out a horrific shooting sometime in the future.

Incoming soon to be outgoing.
They tried this selective model nonsense on Japanese motorcycles back in the eighties (prompted by heavy donations from Harley Davidson) and the Japanese outsmarted the U.S. Government on every rule. Now we have several models that exceed 200 mph and the accident rates have actually gone down. (It´s not the bike stupid, it´s the rider.)
That was excellent, #7.

What this country needs is millions of people with anti-tank weapons, plastic explosives, armored vehicles, automatic weapons, grenades, rockets and millions of rounds. Our enemy can not be slowed down or stopped with semi-automatic anythings. Get serious. The next twenty years is going to make Beirut look like a picnic.

My guess would be that the Dems opposition research team found something particularly bad in Mr. Stewart´s past and had a little talk with him prior to his "conversion" to gun control.

´...the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be INFRINGED.´
I see no room for further discussion regarding ´gun control´ and would find no restrictions on the people the be binding or legitimate. We are meant to be a free people - the politicians be damned.

We, and Utah, get the politicians we deserve. If 51% of the voters want ALL gun owners finger-printed, it shall be so. You don´t think the government has a list of American gun owners? No like being fingerprinted? No problemo! No tax refund.

the left was waiting for this kind of stupid olive branch from laPierre and never got it.But here comes a nwely elected RINO giving them a ray of hope in dismantling the 2nd amendment.
Never give the left nothing until they make serious concessions first.Boehner was making concessions while Obama was still swinging a golf club. McConnell says he hadn´t heard a word from the dems since Thanksgiving but I just heard the news blame congress for the fiscal cliff.

Serena Williams released a statement on her website Wednesday apologizing for controversial comments made in a Rolling Stone article about the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case. Her statement: "What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened. For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved — that of the rape victim and of the accused. I am currently reaching out to the girl´s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article.

Despite first lady Michelle Obama´s four-year campaign to wean the nation off Big Macs and Big Gulps, obesity in America rose last year, continuing an unbroken 15-year streak, according to new figures from the Centers for Disease Control. In an early release of some data in its 2012 National Health Interview Survey, the CDC said that 28.9 percent of adults are obese, a small but significant jump from 28.7 percent in 2011. Officials were hoping that 2012 would snap the trend. As a result, the CDC found that the nation´s obese population

During his speech in Berlin today, President Obama declared once again that the “decade of war” against terrorism was coming to an end. “The Iraq war is now over, the Afghan war is coming to an end, Osama bin Laden is no more, our efforts against al Qaeda are evolving,” he declared. Obama reminded the crowd that it was time for world to move beyond the mindset of perpetual war. “In America that means redoubling our efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo. It means tightly controlling our use of new technologies like drones. It means balancing the

Former Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that he may mount a primary challenge to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in their state´s 2016 U.S. Senate primary. West told station WMAL that he could run for Senate "if I see people that are not taking our country down the right path, if I see people that are not standing up for the right type of principles, and putting their own party politics before what is best for the United States of America." Asked directly in he would rule out challenging Rubio, West responded, "Chirping... chirping... chirping." "We´ll see

The advocates of S. 744, the immigration bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate that would legalize many of the illegal aliens already in the United States, have argued that the proposed legislation would also secure the border and prevent future illegal immigration. However, the cost estimate of the legislation that was released on Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office says that the legislation would actually allow the flow of new illegal aliens into the United States to continue at a rate equal to 75 percent of the current rate of illegal immigration. This will be the case,

A Taliban delegation that will enter formal talks with the United States in Qatar later this week will, according to a U.S. official, also represent the Haqqani network, a group that has existed far longer than either the Taliban or al-Qaeda and has played a key role of terror enabler to both. The notion of the Haqqani network (HQN) committing to breaking ties with al-Qaeda and, especially, renouncing violence – two of the stated U.S. conditions for the Afghanistan reconciliation process to succeed –

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
