Gun Owners Radio: Second Amendment News, Fun & Freedom

JOIN THE PEW PEW CREW!

Dick Heller's name is on the case and he would rather you called it something else.

He gave Dakota two hours in a hotel lobby in Washington and told the parts nobody prints. The tenant who turned out to have a trunk full of guns in a city where that was a felony. The postcard sitting in an otherwise empty desk drawer. The form he talked a police officer into signing, which is the only reason he had standing at all. And the four hundred cough drops he handed out on a freezing sidewalk the night before his own Supreme Court argument, without telling a single person in that line who he was.

Also this week, the rest of Dakota's Washington trip: her rally speech on why the small seats decide everything, and three Women for Gun Rights state directors on what New York, Maryland and Colorado are doing to gun owners right now.
