Apparently, no one has had a problem with Meleanie Hain carrying her G26 holstered on her hip before.  But all of a sudden, a band of pusillanimous dillweeds at her daughter's soccer game decided to shit their panties in unison after seeing the Pennsylvania mom carrying her holstered self defense tool. "I’m just a soccer mom who has always o...

I recently read about a few vocal gun owners that have become disillusioned with the NRA, and are suggesting that people join other pro gun organizations instead of the NRA.  Basically, their complaints are that the NRA is overly concerned about raising money for itself, or that it does not do enough to protect the [...]...

Here is the statement by Biden and what is wrong with it:CINCINNATI, OH — Big, long, dense speech from Joe Biden on McCain’s foreign policy today, which I’ll parse a little more in depth soon. But first, one face-off between Biden and the facts that, once again, the facts seem to have won.Criticizing McCain for opposing negotiations with Iran...

Here are a lot of pictures supposedly of Stars behaving badly, but many of them simply involve various stars smoking cigarettes or cigars. A few other stars are shown drinking alcohol. Nothing more just smoking or drinking. Some are doing obnoxious activities, but does smoking or drinking really officially constitute "bad behavior" these days?...

People discussing wind power might find this posting of interest. You will get an idea of what is on that page from this:...

The Bill doesn’t Pass The market doesn’t crash and Paulsen is revealed to be the oversensationalismist that he is. That, and for all the authors and supporters of the Community Reinvestment Act and all its permutations spend the rest of their lives making monetary restitution. ...

There is an exploding population of self righteous people in this country (I may sometimes even be one of them). But one thing is for damned sure … self righteous rage isn’t limited to the right. I would say the most noticeable hatred is on the left, with entire websites like dailykos.com in place so people can vent their anti-red state/anti-co...

Factcheck.org says that the “banning common hunting rounds” part of the NRA’s ads is false, because the ban applies only to handgun ammo, and ammo designed to be armor piercing. The bill defines an armor piercing round as: ”a projectile that may be used in a handgun and that the Attorney General determines, under section 92...

"I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne." - Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on gun control, June 26, 2008. By Gerard Valentino "What exactly do you think is working in Chicago," Sen. Obama? Sadly, the hometown we share reached another deadly milestone this summer due to the decision to disarm law-abiding citizens. CBS2chicago.com rep...

By Jim Irvine As I started reading <a href="http://www.neworleansgungrab.com " target="_blank">“The Great New Orleans Gun Grab, Descent into Anarchy”., by Gordon Hutchinson and Todd Masson, I wondered how I could relate the destruction of Hurricane Katrina and the dire conditions that followed to residents of Ohio and beyond. As I finish...

I read some truly distrubing news today, indicating that Barack Obama’s campaign is threatening TV stations which air the NRA’s ads about Obama’s anti gun record: The Obama campaign sent cease and desist letters to news outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves. All stations...

I spent some more time doing phone bank (as did Bitter.) It is great way to spend some time with like minded people, and make an effort to make a difference in history.  Voting is a minimum exercises of your rights and responsibilities as an American citizen. Take a few hours (or more) volunteering to help candidates that support your rights. You ...

Not content to make its case to the public, the Obama campaign is threatening legal action from its general counsel to make television stations stop running the ads. The Obama campaign cites FactCheck.org and the Washington Post. Yesterday I ran a piece that showed that both of those sources were completely wrong in their claims. Click on these ...

This was my first outing with my new Para USA Gun Blog 45 since I picked it up yesterday. Joe Huffman will be glad to actually see his famous lock up happen in this video. I know what it is and it only took doing it once twice before I finally got it into my thick skull that you have to allow the trigger to fully reset else you'll lock up the pist...

Soccer mom in Pennsylvania has a CCW permit, but open carries to soccer games -- as is legal, permit or no. The other moms say this makes them "uncomfortable," and the sheriff revokes her CCW permit. Hat tip to Eric Schultz and Mark Noble (who's a candidate for US Congress in Ohio-15)....

Running scared of the truth about his war against the 2nd Amendment getting out via NRA ads, the Barack Obama campaign tried to squash the 1st Amendment. I guess trying to squash the 2nd Amendment......

Story here, with links to the campaign's letter and NRA's response. The letter is pretty thin, not much more than (1) the Washington Post denies what NRA argues, so it must be a pack of lies and (2) the ads say Obama "supports" things ... OK, he *supported* them in the past, but it's not on his webpage at this moment. When will people learn? Upo...

She pointedly refused to endorse to Republicans in Alaska who were running for re-election. Quite a response for a Republican to be willing to take.She also wouldn’t say whether she supports the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young. “Ted Stevens' trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where ...

It's an Interarms Mark X in .300 Winchester Magnum. It's a 'Meat gun'. Not particularly beautiful, not fancy, and not rare. There is no wood, so nothing to swell, or ever rot from lack of care. It's simple as can be with a scope fixed in power and mounted in steel to resist the heavy recoil. This isn't your Mom's meat cleaver. This fires a ...

Tony Blankley has this piece in the Washington Times:The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08 for the first time, the major media are consciously covering for one candidate for president and consci...

Barack Obama’s campaign is trying to silence the National Rifle Association’s latest ad campaign using strong arm tactics by threatening them with possible legal action if they run the ads: Failure to prevent the airing of “false and misleading advertising” may be “probative of an underlying abdication of licensee resp...

Amber Gunn and Sonya Jones have a new piece on the costs of unions. The problem is that unions use their ability to shutdown a firm to extract higher compensation. The cost of that higher compensation is fewer jobs. Raise the wages, fewer people will be employed. Unions also have a much shorter time horizon than firms. Unions don't own the com...

Over at The Liberty SphereThanks for the link!...

An interesting article from NPR. Basically, most people prefer the sites that are clearly partisan to those which purport to be nonpartisan. I suppose there would be two things driving this. (1) We all like to hear our views reinforced. (2) You're probably more likely to approximate the truth by reading avowedly partisan views of both sides. The s...

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has this story here:The presidential election might be a tight race now, but one of the country’s top pollsters thinks the race will end in an electoral landslide.

Senate blocks rollback of DC gun regulations Seems like the standard line is "DC should be able to make its own laws", which would be fine and dandy if said laws weren't unconstitutional. But theirs are and a Supreme Court ruling nailed that one home. So, it's up to Congress to reel them in. Wouldn't want to decrease the amount of power the governm...
