3-D furor speculation focuses on core rights
Dear Editor:
Included in the fuss over 3-D guns, not surprisingly, are the Attorneys General of New Jersey, the lawyer representing Los Angeles, and sad to note, the AG of Pennsylvania, seeking to suppress FREEDOM OF SPEECH via legal actions brought against Defense Distributed. Other, so called Public Servants are said to be contemplating legal actions, too. My immediate reaction to the above mentioned individuals and their antics would be to suggest that those specified, plus others so inclined, perform what might be considered legitimate work, which they seemingly are seriously adverse to, rather than interfering with what are the most basic civil rights of this nation, and the citizens thereof.
That said, and regarding the acquisition of the machinery necessary to accomplish the printing of firearms, the following questions come to mind. Where might one find the necessary machinery? What might delivery times for this equipment be? What price the necessary machines? Answers appear conspicuous by their absence, yet the anti-gun world seems, once again or as usual, to have a gigantic knot in its knickers. No big surprise there, how come?
So when the dust settles, what have we here? An organized campaign against the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech therein mentioned or the Second Amendment, with the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, or both.
Speculation on the above perhaps proving more than of passing interest.

EDITOR’S NOTE: When we first started to pursue the 3-D printer story a couple of years back, we discovered that 3-D printers were readily available in a variety of prices and configurations at Amazon.com and other online retailers as well as some office supply houses. We did not shop for the needed materials to actually turn the blueprints into finished parts.
Sees Socialist methods in magazine marketing
Dear Editor:
The Backwoods Survival Guide was the only magazine of its kind that I could find in the entire magazine section of the CVS store in Flagstaff, AZ.
All hunting, gun and fishing magazines are visibly absent from the large magazine selection suggesting corporate censorship.
This seems to be part of the new Socialist Democrat party scheme of underhanded methods to eradicate the Second Amendment.

EDITOR”S NOTE: We have received similar reports from other parts of the US, but given the vagaries of the entire magazine distribution system and the fact that a merchant is free to choose which titles he or she wants to sell, there is no hard evidence yet of an organized corporate censorship scheme.
Urges working together for US Senate majority
Dear Editor:
Chuck Schumer and the Democrats desperately want to take the Senate Majority away from Republicans. They’re raising money at a rapid pace and airing misleading attack ads in battleground states to convince voters to support their radical agenda. We’ve tried their radical ideas in the past – the results were fewer jobs, higher taxes, and more regulations.
Let’s show Chuck Schumer and the liberal establishment that we won’t give up our Senate Majority without a fight. Contribute today to make sure our Republican Senate candidates have a fighting chance against the liberal establishment.
By working together, we can defeat liberal obstructionists and strengthen our Republican Majority. There are less than 85 days until Election Day (as this is written). Can we count on your support as we get ready for the upcoming midterm elections? All gifts are 4 matched.
