  • Lawyers for animals
    John Lott on March 5th, 2010
    This is bizarre on so many levels. Should fishing be outlawed because it harms fish? It is my understanding that fish don't feel pain. Could one imagine what the implications this would be for eating animals?Last month, Antoine Goetschel went to court here in defense of an unusual client: a 22-pound pike that had fought a fisherman for 10 minute...

    Learn About Guns on March 5th, 2010
    As reported, a Shreveport, Louisiana man reportedly used his gun to save his father from 2 violent home invaders. Police say that a 62 year old homeowner was asleep in his house when a pair of teenage home invaders broke in and bound his hand and feet with duct tape, then set about ransacking the house.  [...]...

    John Lott on March 5th, 2010
    Remember that this estimate is by the Democrat controlled Congressional Budget Office. There are a lot of claimed spending control that will never occur to even get to the CBO number.A new congressional report released Friday says the United States' long-term fiscal woes are even worse than predicted by President Barack Obama's grim budget submiss...
  • Friday Night Quote
    Rifles, Pistols, and Jay on March 5th, 2010
    “One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that ‘violence begets violence.’ I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure—and in some cases I have—that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lo...

    Rifles, Pistols, and Jay on March 5th, 2010
    Over at Guns & Ammo they have an article up about the Mas Ayoob Signature pistol made by Ed Brown. It’s great but retailing at $2720.00 4.25″ Commander model slide, single stack commander BobtailTM frame. The John Browning traditional design innovatively modified for concealed carry, without significantly detracting from reli...
  • Starbucks is Smarter than Abby
    Snowflakes in Hell on March 5th, 2010
    I feel like I’m picking on Abby Spangler a lot lately, but she’s just such a deliciously easy target. She’s pretty happy about this article Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign wrote suggesting that they are just getting started with this Starbucks thing. She comments on her Facebook page: STARBUCKS, you are making a tragic mistake a...

  • What’s Wrong With This Picture?
    Front Site Press on March 5th, 2010
    HOLLISTER, Calif. – The man who opened fire in front of the Pentagon had a history of mental illness and had become so erratic that his parents reached out to local authorities weeks ago with a warning that he was unstable and might have a gun, authorities said Friday. It’s still unclear why John Patrick Bedell opened fire Thursday at the P...

    John Lott on March 5th, 2010
    This new Rasmussen Poll says that more Americans oppose stricter gun control. It is interesting that so few Americans support Chicago's gun control law.The Supreme Court is wrestling with a major case questioning whether Chicago’s handgun ban violates the Second Amendment, but 69% of Americans say city governments do not have the right to preven...

  • Will Canada Reverse Gun Registration
    Rifles, Pistols, and Jay on March 5th, 2010
    Registering over seven million guns cost Canada about two billion dollars and was supposed to reduce crime. It didn’t. If Canada reversed the law would crime go down? The idea of Canadian gun control was fewer murders, less crime. That didn’t materialize at all. Gun control wasn’t the will of the Canadian people. Hunters abandoned their...
  • Big Sis now to monitor my Internet.
    Conservative Scalawag on March 5th, 2010
    The feral government already can monitor your cell phone usage, search your back without a warrant if want to board a plane - even scan your body. But that isn't enough, no now they want to see where we go on the internet. Of course this is all being done in the name of national security, that my liberty be sacrifice upon the alter....

Still,the government in Minnesota wants to regulate to whom you sell it too. Yes, more government in your life, that is the answer. Too bad all it does is take more liberty,freedom, a...
  • Thinking outside the Boxty
    Home on the Range on March 5th, 2010
    Last month in Dublin, I had dinner in the Temple Bar district at a wonderful restaurant named Gallaghar's Boxty House. Excellent food and friendly service in a cozy and warm establishment that filled up as quickly as there were empty seats to be had. I had mine with a side of colcannon (potatoes mashed with cabbage) and a filling of creamed chicken...
  • It is not a right.
    Conservative Scalawag on March 5th, 2010
    We have many rights. The right to trade, the right life, the right to pursue happiness. The right to be safe from an over reaching government. What right isn't guaranteed is education, especially at the expense of another mans' property or productivity. And if you believe it is, then you are most likely a communist progressive, who is willing to us...

  • The Two Faces of Jack Markell
    Snowflakes in Hell on March 5th, 2010
    I was relatively shocked that Jack Markell, F-rated Governor of Delaware, actually signed an improvement to Delaware’s Concealed Deadly Weapon Licensing system late last week. He must be having second thoughts about supporting the Second Amendment, because now he’s pushing back on the bill to roll back the ban in public housing in Delaw...
  • Police Arrive Thirteen Minutes Later
    Rifles, Pistols, and Jay on March 5th, 2010
    What can be done in 13 minutes? A great deal when you think about it. Starting now pull out your closest handgun and field strip it then put it back together? How fast? In Knoxville from the time the phone is picked up until arrival has taken up to thirteen minutes for police. Now start counting. BAM! Someone kicks in your door and you dial 911. Th...
  • Lying Doesn’t Work
    Snowflakes in Hell on March 5th, 2010
    Some folks have taken a bit of an exception with my post saying I’d lie and cheat my way to saving the Second Amendment if I thought that’s what it would take. But don’t mistake my statement as a suggestion that I believe lying and cheating is an effective tactic. It’s not. In fact, I think it can disastrously backfire. Take...

    It has been a couple of days after the McDonald case was presented to SCOTUS and almost 2 years since we won in DC v Heller.  According to experts, it seems that McDonald will also go our way.  And with the tons of new pro Second Amendment laws sweeping our country, we are finally seeing a reduction on the encroachment of our Gun Rights. Some in ...
  • Violance from the left, Pentagon shooter.
    Conservative Scalawag on March 5th, 2010
    When Speaker Pelosi talked about violence during the 1970s, and equated it to that of today, we know to what she referred to. That being the Tea Parties. Even though there isn't a single crumb of evidence to that. Yet there is plenty of it from the progressives. Ranging from attacking a black man selling Gadsden Flags beaten and called a nigger by ...

    Virginia, which has some of the most lax gun laws in the nation and has been pushing to expand gun rights, has been criticized lately by gun control advocates. The state’s General Assembly approved a bill last month allowing people to carry concealed weapons in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, and the House of Delegates voted to end a 17-...

  • Being Civil to Anti-Freedom Gun Banners?

    Caleb wrote an interesting piece over at Snowflakes in Hell about being civil with those who stand in opposition to the second amendment. Whilst this author rarely goes out of the way to act rude towards anyone, those who oppose our way of life are a threat to our Republic. Caleb offers: I will do anything to keep the Second Amendment alive, and se...
