Do the politicians and journalists clamoring for gun controls have the courage to stand behind their convictions? Of course not. Project Veritas shines some light on these liberal phonies, who do believe one thing — Holding double-standards is better than having no standards at all.

Watch out for the Flying Monkeys as the Obama Administration takes aim against guns. You can hear the cackling. “I’ll get you my pretty…and your Bill of Rights, too.” Meanwhile, the staffers at Current TV are scrambling to find new jobs now that Al “Jazeera” Gore has sold the network. Hear all this and about Bill Clinton living out his Oedipal fantasies in this edition of The Great Eight with Ben Crystal.

Attorney and author David Kopel, an associate policy analyst with the Cato Institute, lays out the different avenues that President Obama might pursue using executive orders to limit the public’s access to guns. These include restricting gun imports and reclassifying different weapons so they’re much more difficult to obtain. At the same time, Kopel cites legal and court precedents that could weigh against the president going overboard in disregarding the 2nd Amendment.

If the Obama administration wanted to protect our schools, the solution would be simple: Station armed police officers or security guards at the schools. But the administration really isn’t interested in protecting schools or children so much as exploiting them so it can implement sweeping gun control measures. Pundit Dick Morris explains the politics.

In the wake of the horrific mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Obama has said that restricting access to guns will be one of his highest priorities. But as Reason TV underscores, the new push for gun controls disregards many salient facts. To wit:
1. Violent crime has plummeted drastically over the last 20 years.
2. Mass killings peaked in 1929.
3. Schools are getting safer.
4. More guns are in circulation than ever before.
5. Assault weapons bans are generally ineffective.
Of course, the facts might all be stacked one way, but how many politicians can resist a power grab when the opportunity arises?

Craig Whitney, author of Living with Guns: A Liberal’s Case for the Second Amendment, explains why efforts to ban guns are typically bound to backfire. “A lot of our gun control measures are aimed at people who would obey the law and get the permits. How does keeping me or you from having a gun really control gun violence in Washington or New York City?” asks Craig R. Whitney, a former New York Times journalist.
Whitney sat down — before the Newtown shooting — to talk with Reason‘s Nick Gillespie about why liberals should defend the Second Amendment, why gun-related violence has declined over the past 20 years even as gun ownership has increased, his most memorable experience at a shooting range, and more.

The British ban on firearms is one of the strictest on the planet, but since its enactment, citizens have endured a 40 percent rise in gun-related crime. And now some well-intended, but ill-informed liberals want to see a similarly ineffective gun ban implemented in the United States. When it happens, and criminals are terrorizing every city, running roughshod just like they do nowdays in Chicago, don’t say you weren’t warned. H/T iOwnTheWorld
