Better Living Through No Chemistry

The feral government wants to ban private ownership of chemicals, just like their enumerated Constitutional powers authorize them to do.

And remember: Our enemies hate us because we're free!

Permission to Defend

No citizen should face prison for standing up to an attacker. With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Lynch can remove the unnecessary flight-or-surrender restriction that curtails our right to defend ourselves. He should do it without hesitation or regret.

True.

But that Gov. Lynch is even a factor in such a decision shows how completely We the People have tolerated the degradation of our Natural Rights.

We're the Only Ones Tribal Enough

A weapon used during the Nov. 7 execution style triple murder in Hogback was allegedly a shotgun that was originally from a Navajo Nation police department...

"Currently, there are weapons missing from our police departments and there is a lot of anxiety over that. We are doing what we can to locate those weapons."

A more cynical person than I am might wonder if Eugenia and Samson are related, and if that has any bearing on this.

A New Gun Argument

The mayors, Menino said, do not want to meddle with the rights of hunters.

That's your "new gun argument"? Sorry pal, "The 2nd Amendment ain't about duck hunting" bumper stickers have been around for years. Clinton and Kerry in camos didn't fool us then, and you're not fooling anyone but the fools now.

The National Rifle Association regularly says that we don't need new laws and should simply enforce the regulations on the books. But if many of the existing laws are unenforceable, that statement is meaningless.

That's because gun control laws don't work. Some of us wish NRA would accept that simple fact, but evidently they think that message resonates with enough voters to advance their agenda, and they're playing a political game.

Basically what you're saying is, if 20,000 laws on the books are ineffective, 20,001 will do the trick. In what other demonstration of cause and effect would that not be considered insane?

Yes, there is a cultural difference between big cities and rural areas, but it's a difference in how guns are used. Rural people treasure their guns mostly for hunting and recreation, and as collectors. In inner cities, guns -- especially handguns -- are used almost entirely to threaten or kill other human beings.

You want a "new gun argument"? You haven't got the guts to explore a "new gun argument."

But it's inarguable that the culture you rail against, where handgun abuse is the highest, resides in areas where the populace overwhelmingly votes in lock-step with the "gun control" slate.

Sorry, E. J. Dionne Jr. You've demonstrated nothing new here. You're just another in a long train of boringly unoriginal hacks trotting out the same old tired arguments as you cheer on the police state. You're just another ignorant socialist who would be useless in a defensive situation, but insistent on imposing your contemptible impotence on all men--as long as other men do the enforcement.
