Britain is a weird place with knife control and penalties for some people who act to protect their lives and property. Here is another example that some Americans might find a little strange.A British gardener’s local council has ordered him to remove a 3-foot high barbed wire fence around his property in case thieves hurt themselves on it, the ...

I’ve previously discussed the abject failure that is British gun control, and how some of that county’s law abiding citizens are trying to regain their gun rights. A recent conviction in a murder that was committed by a gun-ban-ignoring criminal further highlights the pointlessness of such anti gun rights laws: Kanyanta Mulenga, 23, fro...

I didn’t blog about the last time I went out to work the phone bank, partly because it would be repetitive, and partly to not brag. But I am bringing it up again. Because EVERYONE needs to get out and put some time in, and maybe I can guilt trip someone into volunteering. I know a lot of people aren’t real excited about about McCain, b...

By Ken Hanson Readers of this website know I have written frequently (see here and here and here)on the subject of School Shooters. To me, it has always been a simple equation: 1.) You will never prevent school shootings, 2.) School shooters are on a one way trip and desire martyrdom, and 3.) The most effective response to a school shooter will co...

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The Obama campaign in Indiana, on September 27, unlawfully obtained and made unauthorized use of a proprietary media list belonging to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade association for the firearms industry. Sen. Obama used this list to e-mail a press release concerning National Hunting and Fishing Day....

Click on image for full size This is a monthly chart of the S&P 500 going back to 1993. This is major ugly. I’m looking at the 767 level (pink line) as primary support. If it breaks that, it may go all the way down to the 1994 base. I really expect it to hold around 767, but as crazy as things are, I wouldn’t count on anything righ...

As you may have read, the Blogrolling site was attacked by hackers, destroying many lists of links used by blogs.  Among those destroyed was the Manufacturer Links list on Traction Control’s Commercial Site. Fortunately, I had employed the good practice of backing up my data in an opml file to save a local copy.  I used the opml data to c...

My tour of sportsmens groups in Bucks County continues apace, and I’m continuing to sign up volunteers.  I have spoken with a club every night this week, except for Monday.  Tuesday I spoke at Branch Valley, which has 500 members.  Last night to a packed audience at my own club, which has 1100 members.  Tonight I speak at Conestoga Rod &a...

Via Instapundit, The LA Times brings us twelve gauge rifles.  The picture shows Sarah Palin handling a shotgun, carrying it the way you’re supposed to: Right? Or maybe not? What do you think? Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can’t you shoot your foot off like that? Oh yeah, pretty clearly Sarah Palin is a rube who doesn...

Senator John Cornyn will Debate Democrat contender Rick Noriega and Libertarian Yvonne Schick in Houston this evening. The Debate will be carried throughout Texas on PBS at 8:00PM (except in Amarillo where it will air at 9:00).I am very disappointed with our Jr. Senator's vote on the "Bailout Bill". I honestly expected better from him and hope he c...

Apparently, Obama sought and received the Socialist party endorsement when he ran for the state Senate in 1996.Barack Obama was an active participant in the 1990s, and a direct political beneficiary, of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.1) Barack Obama...

Why should you dance for an audience indifferent? Where is the music if only sung in dreams and silent halls? Should you not find song in bright sunlit woods, in rich round fruit that tastes not of limitations but of the beauty of the earth, savored like the thought of heaven. The cosmic dance is within yourself. Torrents of rain, moods somber in ...

Won’t somebody please pay attention to us?  This is the same load of horse crap they’ve been peddling for the past twenty years.  Just remember, when they say these firearms have no sporting purpose, they lie. ...

Phil Goldsmith has been running around Pennsylvania trying to get to know gun owners, and looking for some allies. Goldsmith hopes to leverage the unsuspected moderateness of our citizenry.

1840s Colt auctions for $920,000 An anonymous bidder paid a record $920,000 for a historic .44-caliber revolver owned by a Libby man. And the buyer got a bargain, said auctioneer James Julia. The Colt Walker pistol made for U.S. marshals in the 1840s belonged to University of Maine graduate John McBride's great-great-uncle. That must be one hell o...

… who thought An American Carol kind of sucked?  I mean, the politics of it might be compatible with what I believe, but it just wasn’t funny.  Airplane was funny, because it was a great send-up of the airline disaster flicks.  An American Carol was a send-up of Michael Moore.  But Michael Moore is a parody of himself.  If you paro...

Now that the economy has turned South, suddenly voters are turning back toward Barack Obama (and gun control) and away from McCain. I guess that when the economy is bad liberals cling to business regulation, socialization of our economy, and their antipathy to people who expect them to either fail or succeed on their own merits. And of course ever...

If Larry Pratt took your post here and reprinted it on GOA letterhead, it would be entirely believable.  Is that really the kind of company you want to keep?  Is the Brady Campaign becoming the “no compromise” Second Amendment group?  Well, GOA probably makes money money and has more dues paying members than the Brady Campaign.  May...

This would seem to indicate that Barr’s campaign staff expected an endorsement.  Some are saying they were told NRA wouldn’t endorse this year.  I have to wonder how much contact Bob Barr has with his campaign staff, and what he was leading them to believe.  As an NRA Board Member, and as a politician who worked in Congress with NRA ...

So far, the losses haven't wiped out my employer contributions ye...

Conspiracy to commit voter fraud is a felony in most states.  This kind of crap needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  I don’t want to see timid Republicans and Democrats on this one.  Go after them.  Put them in jail.  No less than the health and integrity of our Republic is at stake here. ...

In the rare event that you change states between the time you send in your form 4 transfer tax and the time it is approved you must void the original transfer and make a new application from the state you moved to.  If it is purchase by an individual, you must also obtain a new law enforcement signature prior to resubmitting the forms.  The ATF i...
