I was reviewing the search engine statistics for this website, and found that there were quite a few people searching for “What is Gun Control”?  I, and many readers of this website are quite familiar with gun control, however I thought an introduction to gun control might be helpful for some people: Gun control is the [...]...

On Caleb and Bonnie’s Blog Talk Show, Martin, from The Liberty Sphere asked a question of me, about whether I thought there was ever a time when it was justifiable to violently resist an out of control government.  The answer to that is yes, but as to what the line should be, I would defer to Judge Alex Kozinski, in his eloquent Silveria dis...

By Brian S. Stewart “The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision in D.C. v. Heller.” Gun rights advocates have long charged that the ACLU are left-wing activists first, “civil rights advocates” a very distant second. The organization has confirmed it with this po...

By John Longenecker Predators In The Bigger Cities Who Refuse Safer Streets. There is a big difference between being Conservative and being Patriotic. Elephants and Donkeys can agree on many, many questions on how we run our country, come to the same conclusions and get a lot of business done.

It is possible to win people over with good arguments, and reasonable discourse.  See this over at LookingforLissa, and also the second part.  There’s an old saying that you can get a lot farther with honey, than you can by threatning to shoot people.  I hope Lissa finds who she’s looking for. ...

Is anyone surprised… Chicago, guns and the court Source: The Chicago Tribune August 1, 2008 Wilmette’s gun ban is history. Morton Grove, which passed the nation’s first handgun ban, followed suit on Monday. Those towns repealed their laws because the U.S. Supreme Court in June knocked down Washington D.C.’s handgun ...

I've owned several dogs in my life. All large hunting/retriever dogs or huskies.

Pelosi has apparently told Dems to publicly oppose her on oil drilling at the same time she will keep any vote from occurring. The strategy is to let the Dems oppose her so that they will be protected from voter anger. Here is the story from the Politico:Rahall spent more than an hour last week talking to the president about energy. Bush spent th...

In this video clip, ABC’s 20/20 discusses the myth that gun control laws reduce crime. Instead, of showing a reduction in crime, John Stossel finds that gun control leads to an increase in crime, prevents law abiding citizens from defending themselves, doesn’t deter criminals, harms the weaker members of society, and paves the way for [...

A letter by Thomas B. Carney, published in the Star Ledger, points out the ineffectiveness and wastefulness of gun control laws: In a July 27 piece, Newark Mayor Cory Booker mentions government’s right to take reasonable measures to limit gun owner ship. But governments have no rights. They have powers; people have rights. Besides, there are ...

I said earlier in the day that if people really want to change the government, they can do it.  But it’s funny how dealing with an infestation of slimy politicians is a lot like dealing with lice.  We noticed the lice infestation in 1994, got some Kewll out, and applied it liberally.  For sure, we got rid of a lot of lice, but we forgot to...

After Hurricane Katrina, various police agencies in Louisiana wrongfully and unlawfully confiscated the firearms of law abiding citizens, leaving them at the mercy of criminals who took advantage of the hurricane to commit crimes.  This video consists of interviews with several law abiding victims of firearms confiscation, including a woman who wa...

A report on a CT (corrected) law that allows officials to get a warrant, and seize firearms, on the belief that a person *might* misuse them in the future. Something over 1,700 guns have been taken under its provisions. Quite apart from the obvious 2A violations, it seems to me there's a 4th Amendment issue as well. Warrants are supposed to be is...

Despite a nationwide economic decline, gun store and range workers say First Coast residents aren’t cutting back on self-protection.

From today's WSJ:the most cruel mistake occurred with the failure to understand the Vietnam war. Some people sincerely wanted all wars to stop just as soon as possible; others believed that there should be room for national, or communist, self-determination in Vietnam, or in Cambodia, as we see today with particular clarity. But members of the U.S....

The Democrat bill to enforce the Heller decision is available for download at Sebastian’s. He notes it’s better than the Republican bill.
