You can read the transcript here. I think that the debate went well. When the audience from NYC was asked at the beginning of the debate if they thought that more guns meant less crime the ratio was 13 percent in favor, 60 percent against. After the debate it was 27 percent in favor, 64 percent against. Thus we technically won the debate becaus...

As I mentioned on my bio page, I’m an African American law student who lives in the Chicago area.   While in school and at work, I’ve had friends and colleagues assume that I’m anti gun, and invite me to contact my elected officials in support of more (pointless and unconstitutional) restrictions on gun ownership.  A [...]...

Am I happy that Dan Cooper was forced to resign as CEO of Cooper Arms? Not really. It is too bad that Mr. Cooper got involved with the incident, but after what he did, especially the USAToday story, I could not support his business, and made my feelings clear, both to them, and on this blog. Apparently there were enough people that agreed with me t...

By A.W.R. Hawkins With the 2008 presidential election upon us, the National Rifle Association is making their case against Barack Obama. They unflinchingly describe him as “the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history” and have dedicated large sums of money to exposing his anti-gun agenda. An in-depth look at his record justifi...

By Stephen Griffin As I have mentioned on occasion in my columns, I dearly love to go hunting. I have rarely been happier than the 30 years of spending that week following Thanksgiving living in a tent and sleeping on the ground with my dad in our Gallia County deer camp.

I just noticed the damn Unicef ad that Google Ads figured would be such a great match for this site based on key words/content or whatever the hell they use.

By the Ol’ Grey Ghost on A Keyboard and a .45 We often hear these days from people on both sides of the gun control issue that they are all in favor of "reasonable" gun control measures but each accuses the other side of being unreasonable by the positions they take.

A good story about it here. We saw the uniforms at their HQ. Each arm and leg has two built-in tourniquets, with handles concealed in velcro-sealed pouches. In the event of a severe extremity wound (say a limb shredded by an IED) blood flow can completely occluded in ten seconds. With body armor and Kevlar helmets, about 60% of preventable combat ...

Story here. Snowflakes in Hell gets a nice plug: ""This needs to get around," wrote a blogger who calls himself "Sebastian, a thirty something, self professed 'gun nut' living somewhere in Pennsylvania." He added: "Gun owners need to know which companies sell their interests down the river. Here's contact info for Cooper Firearms. I would talk to...

Today, I had to go to my daughter's school to pick up her report card and some fundraising items. Before I could get out of the car, I had to disarm. Now, I walked into the buildings, got her fundraising stuff, met with the teacher, got back in my car and proceeded to pick up dinner. During my few minutes in the school, even had I decided to not f...

The Buckeye Firearms Association reports that the Ohio Department of Transportation has ordered that all “No Guns” signs posted at Ohio rest stops be removed.

Here’s another article - not a blog post this time - about the effort to draw attention to Dan Cooper’s efforts working against gun owners by supporting Barack Obama.

OK, I'm sorry, but what the FUCK????If I don't vote for Obama, I'm a racist.  If I vote for Obama, I'm only doing it because he's half white, and I'm STILL a racist!Why, you ask?Because the psychotic Charles Ogletree, who sees racism around every corner and under every white sheet (I'm betting his bedding is a nice shade of chocolate), says so...

Camden County police melt down hundreds of guns at a *shhhhhhh!  Be vewwy vewwy quiet!* super secret location (probably involving a naked dance ritual in which they roll around in the blood of victims who didn't have any means of defending themselves).I can think of several ways these weapons could be useful, including selling them at a discou...

I'm loving this. Guy puts up McCain/Palin sign in his yard. Sign gets repeatedly stolen by the ever so tolerant followers of the Lightbearer. Guy just happens to be an engineer, so he rigs the sign to shock anyone who tries to paw it. Oh... and he records the incident! Shitty little kid with Obama sign tries to switch out the political stateme...

Some guy named Eric Verlo points out an NRA ad: And comments: Just what is the NRA hoping to convey with this ad? Does this depict a typical gun enthusiast? It sure resembles a Cracker out of Deliverance, armed to the teeth, looking to hunt someone down. Call it: PWT with HPR on ATV waiting for MLK. (Does he have binoculars? A blind? He’s not ev...

Don Kates sent around the following email.It is axiomatic that the way to have courts adopt a legal theory is to approach them with a sympathetic case. A fortiori, the way to get a legal theory REJECTED is to couch that theory in terms of an unappealing case – and the less appealing a case, the less likely your theory to be adopted.From that pers...

McCain also has gained ground as the candidate to trust on economic issues. Forty-eight percent (48%) now trust the Republican hopeful more than the Democrat while 47% hold the opposite view. This is the first time McCain has led on the issue that has hurt his campaign since September 17. One month ago, Obama held a nine-point advantage when it cam...
