Here's the press release from the Asheville Tea Party:

Sheriff Clinton’s letter to the House and Senate leaders clarifies his position: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2013/02/05/sheriff-chris-clinton-of-towns-county-georgia-letter-to-congress/

    • “ In the present climate of gun control, national registration, and confiscation – clearly an assault on our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms - it is vital that the public participate and have a voice.”

      1. No registration or confiscation proposed by anyone. If you can refute this, do so.

      2. No, even Supreme Court Justice Scalia, ardent defender of strict construction of the Constitution, noted in 'Heller' that the government DOES have a legitimate right to control certain weapons.

      3.The fear-mongering and blatant misrepresentations and falsehoods continue.

      The good news is that the NRA's Chief Gun Industry lackey and shill, and friend to drug dealers, criminals and the mentally deranged, the clearly disturbed Wayne LaPierre, has become a scary caricature of the group, even ignoring the will of their own membership. And even more good news is that those politicians with the formerly coveted 'A Rating' by the NRA are now finding this 'distinction' is a hindrance and they are now getting a big public backlash. Just look at what happened within the last few days in Illinois.

      These types of extremist groups may be loud and shrill, but they actually represent a relatively small group in this country. And they are starting to feel the heat.

    • There's still a Tea Party? Aren't they the group most republicans, and everyone else for that matter, are trying now to distance themselves from because they are a bunch of fatalist?
