Shameless Plug: "Well Regulated"

So to recap the Brady Campaign, VPC and ACLU positions, the Framers included the words "“well regulated"” in an amendment stating the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed so that government could impose "common sense regulations."” These would include laws to deny the keeping and bearing of arms, especially since only government agents were intended to be empowered by the Bill of Rights in the first place.
"Well Regulated" is my Rights Watch column for the September 2006 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at trained and disciplined newsstands throughout the Republic.

BONUS: See page 90 to find out how you can win a Ruger M77 .30-06 with a Leupold scope, Minox binoculars and a Buck Folding Alpha Hunting Knife.

In Defense of Lon Horiuchi

For any of you who read this garbage and who don't know what to think let me just tell you that Lon and the people he has served with and the members of HRT are among the hardest working and most patriotic people you will ever have the priviledge to know. Anyone who says differently is an anti-government right (or left) wing nut job.
This comment was just added to an old blog entry. Naturally, the poster is "anonymous." There's really no way to tell if he's Lon's friend or relative, a former colleague with "inside information," or merely a troll out to start something.

We're the Only Ones Throttling Toddlers Enough

A Philadelphia School District police officer...grabbed a 3-year-old boy by the throat after the child accidentally squirted his car with a water gun on 17th and Tasker.

Police said Bradley threw the boy to the ground and smashed his water gun before re-entering his home and allegedly retrieving an unregistered firearm.

Neighbors said he threatened them with the .38 caliber handgun...

But after hearing, a judge threw out the most serious charges, leaving only misdemeanors.
In a rational world, a free citizenry would soon drive such abusive monsters away. And they wouldn't treat the psycho cop too kindly, either.

Return to Paradise

Mountain lions are on the prowl. Children are not safe. And the Board has decreed all humans must be disarmed.

Goodness. Trouble in Paradise. Who could have ever foreseen this?

They've also totally screwed up the gun range rules with their knee-jerk ignorance. More on that later.

We're Enslaving Ourselves More Effectively,Too, You Idiot

The weapon came into my possession right after Dariek had a bad night. Voices from his stereo speakers had kept him awake, talking to him, telling him to blow his girlfriend's brains out. He had fought valiantly to ignore the voices but feared the next time he heard them he might not be as strong.
Right, Monroe. Blame guns. And repeat bogus lies about the origins of the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, don't take steps to force your headcase brother into involuntary treatment, and leave him free to wreak whatrever havoc he wishes with boxcutters, or ammonium nitrate or gasoline.

HZ, who sent me the link to this story raises an interesting point, what with Monroe writing for an Illinois paper. Did he keep the gun and does he have an FOID? I also wonder if he lived in Illinois at the time of the transfer from an Indiana resident, and abided with the requirements of GCA '68.
