Second Amendment March On Washington Scheduled For April: There will be a Second Amendment March in Washington, D.C., on April 19, 2010, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Attendees will gather on the northeast corner of the Washington Monument grounds at 10:00 a.m., and the entire event will take place there (due to logistics, the event will be more of a "rally" than an actual march).
2nd Amendment March

Statement By NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox Regarding Washington State Supreme Court Decision: "We are pleased with the Washington State Supreme Court's decision in State v. Sieyes yesterday, which stated that the Second Amendment applies to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause."

PETA Critical Of King: Among other things, U.S. Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) is a responsible citizen, a family man, a firearm owner, and is staunchly pro-gun. He also has a Twitter account from which he "tweets" fairly regularly.
PETA vs King

Bill O'Reilly On Law-Abiding Citizens Maintaining Their Second Amendment Rights During A Declared State Of Emergency: "That's a pretty extreme position." As we have often reported, in the wake of the illegal gun confiscations in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, NRA focused its attention on legislation to amend existing emergency-powers statutes to guarantee that local authorities never again attempt the confiscation of lawfully owned firearms during states of emergency.
Confiscation of Firearms

Update On Bogus "Poll" Of NRA Members: On Dec. 11, 2009, we noted that a poll paid for by anti-gun politician-activist Michael Bloomberg, claiming to show that NRA members support gun control, was conducted by a pollster who has been reprimanded and censured by two professional polling organizations, and who (of course) doesn't have access to NRA's confidential member list.

New Rule On Guns In National Parks Takes Effect February 22: On February 22, a new law on guns in national parks takes effect. The law repeals a National Park Service rule that has long prohibited Americans from lawfully possessing firearms in national parks for self-defense.

Quote of the Day:
"There is something so far-fetched and so extravagant in the idea of danger to liberty from the militia that one is at a loss whether to treat it with gravity or with raillery; whether to consider it as a mere trial of skill, like the paradoxes of rhetoricians; as a disingenuous artifice to instil prejudices at any price; or as the serious." --Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 29

AuctionBytes Article: The Challenge of Attracting Shoppers to Your Online Store by: Jeff Gawronski

The Challenge of Attracting Shoppers to Your Online Store
By Jeff Gawronski

February 21, 2010

I have a retail website, but where are all the customers?

For online merchants that have made the leap from eBay, Amazon, Etsy and other marketplaces to having their own online storefront, the potential can seem limitless. And it is! Whether you make the world your marketplace or you decide to focus on domestic customers, having your own online retail store is exciting. By having your own store, your business feels real, and you've turned a major entrepreneurial corner. You may still sell your products on other sites, but with your own web site comes a pride of ownership, business cards, and customers who come specifically to browse and shop for your stuff.

But once the opening day excitement of a new store dwindles, almost all independent online merchants ask the same questions. Where are all the visitors? Customers? Shoppers?

Unusual Antiques Auctions From Kovel's Komments

UNCLAIMED VASES CLAIM HIGH PRICE
A matching pair of cloisonne vases was among hundreds of unclaimed items abandoned in a Connecticut storage facility and put up for auction on Jan. 30. The vases, estimated to bring about $2,000, auctioned for $52,900. Most of the proceeds went toward paying storage bills. A London bidder and a member of the audience fought for the vases until the London bidder bowed out. So the vases went to the person bidding live at the Nest Egg auction in Meriden, Connecticut.

ANOTHER RECORD PRICE
George Washington's personal map of the Battle of Yorktown, which descended through the family of an aide to Washington, was auctioned two weeks ago. It brought $1.15 million at James Julia Auctions in Maine. That set a record for an American map and was possibly the most expensive map sold anywhere.

Gun Facts - Thought You Should Know

Gun Facts

By MORGAN 0. REYNOLDS & H. STERLING BURNETT

Nationally, gun-rights advocates have been on the defensive since the early '90s. But in the states, where the fight against crime is won or lost, they're winning the debate. That's because they have the facts on their side.

Thirty-one states now let citizens carry concealed weapons -- up from just nine states in '86. Have these "right-to-carry" laws made the public safer, or have they caused a sharp drop in public safety, as opponents warned?

The standard argument against "concealed carry" laws is that there is no good reason for the average Joe to carry a gun. But federal courts have ruled that police aren t obliged to protect individuals from crime. That means citizens are ultimately responsible for their own defense.

But do concealed weapons deter crime? Criminals commit 10 million violent crimes a year. Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck found that victims use handguns about 1.9 million times in self-defense.

Criminals weigh the costs of the crime against the benefits. You don t have to be a criminal mastermind to know that the possibility of a concealed weapon tilts the odds in the victim's favor. Research shows that robbery and rape victims who resist with a gun are only half as likely to be injured as those who don't.

Get More Out of Your Facebook Page

By Chris Crum

I don't have to tell you that Facebook can be a tremendous source of web traffic. There's a good chance that most of the people you know are on it, and the ones who aren't may be eventually. The social network is consuming more and more of people's time, and thanks to mobile devices, it is always accessible. If you don't have a Facebook Page, you may be missing out on not only traffic to your site, but a chance to engage with customers and ultimately help your brand's reputation.
