Video Report: Iowa Democrat Congressman Family Saved By A Gun

Next time a Democrat wants to piss on the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution, he or she may want to talk with Rep Leonard Boswell of Iowa:

Video: Congressman Says Fast & Furious Was Administration Conspiracy To Regulate Gun Owners

Well of course it was! Focus on gun violence by selling guns to criminals pointing out the ensuing carnage and clamp down on legal gun owners.

And from Instapundit:

BOB OWENS: Obfuscation: Dems Push Gun Control To Hide ‘Gunwalker’ Scandal. “The exact same agencies that would be charged with enforcing the proposal are currently under investigation — and may eventually face felony charges — because they broke existing laws and participated in widespread gun trafficking. To borrow from a reader, the federal government is using federal agencies to break federal laws so that same federal government can impose more federal laws on the people that did not break the law.”

And from another Insty link:

More ‘Gunwalker’ Emails Suggest Gun-Control Conspiracy: Plus, Congressional investigators ask Eric Holder if there is any other evidence that Gunwalker was an anti-gun PR stunt. I’m sure he’ll be as forthcoming as always.

…is being driven by women:

Most women would not have thought to carry a gun even five years ago, said Andrea Durhal. When she became a National Rifle Association certified instructor eight years ago, her classes were mostly men. Recently, women have started to fill her classes.

It took a few years for women to get over a fear of guns and take responsibility for their protection, she said.

“We’re being victimized; we’re being raped. The crimes are getting higher and the police departments are less and less,” she said. “People are realizing now that they need to be their own security.”

There’s a very interesting graphic there. The highest percentages of women getting permits is Wayne County (Detroit) and Barry County (Grand Rapids). I would have thought that Genessee (Flint) and Oakland (Pontiac) Counties would be equally high, but they’re slightly less. I wonder why?

The video that goes along with the story:

And the aforementioned graphic:

UPDATE: I posted the wrong graphic above. Here is the correct one:

Video: Do We Need Gun Control?

If there is one video to see today it's this one albeit it is of the flashback variety, but just as relevant not only for the substance but for the obvious elitism and disdain from Chuck U Schumer throwing daggers at the truth:
