NRA Endorses Pro Gun Illinois Democrat Debbie Halvors...
Learn About Guns on October 25th, 2008
As reported, the NRA has endorsed Debbie Halvorson, a Democrat who is running for Congress in Illinois. I’ve previously discussed the NRA’s endorsement of pro gun democrats, and this is yet another example. The NRA supports gun rights, and candidates who support gun rights, regardless of their political affiliation. The fact is that... -

NYPD police gun discharge study
Arms & The Law on October 25th, 2008
Pdf here. A number of interesting results. A majority of shots were fired at 1-2 yards, and hit rate was only 43% at that range (both results not uncommon, actually). At 3-7 yards this drops to 23%, then at 8-15 yards rises again to 40%. Perhaps the officers have the ability to take better aim there, or maybe it's a fluke of the small sample size,... -
He Said What?
Snowflakes in Hell on October 25th, 2008
I hate Bill O’Reilly with a burning white passion, but a Fox reporter managed to catch up with Bill Ayers, wearing a big red star. What he said stunned me: Click here to view the embedded video.

The Bluff on October 25th, 2008
I'm often quite harsh on the anti-gun crowd, and I think there is usually some understandable provocation for that -- anti-gun writings tend to be condescending and more full of anti-gun hysteria/hyperbole than the "common sense" they claim to have a monoply on. But to give credit where credit is due, CSGV Director of Communications Ladd Everitt wr... -

Military gets new sniper equipment, techniques
Arms & The Law on October 25th, 2008
Story here. I find it interesting that all the equipment is civilian invention and manufacture. That may not seem unusual today, but it wasn't but a few wars ago that everyone carried government-designed rifles made in government arsenals (come to think of it, the one civilian made component was the scope sights, issued in small quantities), and f... -

A First Amendment issue
Arms & The Law on October 25th, 2008
And a biggie.... A Wisconsin electoral candidate faces criminal charges based on his campaign literature that describes people as supporting him, which is alleged to be false.

Or, more appropriately off guard! Was trimming my beard this morning when the guard flew off. Of course the guard did so mid-stroke and I was left with a 1" wide gap on my cheek. So I had to shave it all off. Left the goatee, though so the 2nd chin I've grown over the years is still hidden.... -
JPFO’s Role is to Educate, Not Elect
The War on Guns on October 25th, 2008
So again, do yourself a favor and educate yourself on what exactly gun groups do. Look through hype, and understand exactly what their role is in the whole game. That includes knowing the tax status and affiliated arms of each group - if only because you don’t want to get them into hot water.Bitter is absolutely right. JPFO does not lobby and the... -
