By Chris Chumita
The first quarter of 2007 has come to an end, and we saw two important gun bills introduced at the federal level. They both would have a profound effect on our Second Amendment rights. One bill is all about freedom and the other is all about control. Since both of these bills are important, all Second Amendment activists must be fully informed about H.R. 1096 and H.R.1022.

Will you be Mitt Romney’s cheap date?
Editor’s Note 9/28/12 – Please see the following follow-up article, also by Mr. Baus – Recently discovered report forces the question: Do I owe Mitt Romney an apology?
(This commentary has also been published at WorldNetDaily.com)
By Chad D. Baus
Gun owners have been learning a great deal in recent weeks about the anti-gun record of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is currently polling as the front-runner among announced GOP presidential-hopefuls. Less attention has been given to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But gun owners will ignore Romney at their own peril.
Last week, Romney announced that he raised $23 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of the year, topping the amounts collected his closest GOP rivals. Giuliani raised $15 million in the same period, and Arizona Sen. John McCain trailed with $12.5 million. (In the contest among a host of anti-gun Democrats, Hillary Clinton reported raising a whopping $36 million.)
Few people outside of Massacheusetts are familiar with Mitt Romney. As such, the former governor is trying to take advantage of the opportunity, much like Bill Clinton did in the early 1990s, to craft an image for himself that is most likely to draw votes in his party’s primary.
And so, in the early going, Romney has attempted to portray himself as pro-gun. But, as the saying goes, the truth will out. And when it comes to Romney’s record on guns, the truth is he is far from being what he now claims.
