It's Your Civic Duty

Stockpiling supplies and developing family response plans in case disaster strikes not only might save lives — it's also a civic duty, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.

What about weapons and ammo, Bender? Why the silence?

A Warning From the Past


READERS OF GUNS:
Take a good look at our Second Amendment. Good weapons keep men free; when you forget that, tyranny increases.
--From Southeastern Shooters Supply advertisement

The November 1955 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online.

Forrester Hit on Gun Control

Not hard enough, if you ask me.

If this weasel is the best the Republicans have to offer, they deserve to lose.

A Matter of Occupation

A state appellate panel Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that Asbury Park did not have the authority to allow Police Director Louis Jordan to wear a uniform, carry a gun and make arrests when he was hired in May 2002.

I wonder how many other unauthorized civilians he busted for carrying guns?

By making that distinction, I guess they're admitting their police represent a military occupation...

The Play's the Thing

And all the world's a stage.

"A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun" looks like it's so stupid even other liberals hate it.

"A Hapless Toad"

For John Roberts, it was a "hapless toad'' in the path of a California housing development that represented the limits of the federal government's power to regulate activities within a state. For Samuel Alito Jr., it was a machine gun.

"A Real Winner"?

Gun Owners of America is effusive in its praise of Samuel Alito.

Some are not so enamored. Mike B. has some concerns that merit scrutiny (3rd comment in linked post).

We need to proceed with caution and not automatically conclude the Supreme Court nominee is a Second Amendment hardliner.

I plead guilty to feeling some optimism, but my jaded nature cautions me to be wary of the hook. The political establishment is all about power and control. They never just give it up.

You're Either With Us or Against Us

"There isn't really any middle ground on this issue," State Police Director Larry Trent said at a news conference Tuesday. "You either stand with the gun lobby or you stand with law enforcement."

You're right, Larry. There can be no middle ground.
