Mine accident brings to mind hypocrisy of anti-gunners

A mine accident strands dozens deep underground. Rescuers from the surface employ an escape tube to bring them to the surface, to reunite with the loved ones they left behind. And as ridiculous as he knows it to be, one of the survivors can't help but think "Ya got me, McDade." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column takes you on a family tour, down a mine, up an escape tube and into the past...Y'know, this is too convoluted to really explain. If you're intrigued by the teaser, you're just going to have to go read it.

Also hear Tom Gresham interview Chris Cox about some of the recent controversies we've been discussing of late.

And yeah, I see the typo. Damned Examiner.com has been messing up all morning doing it's best to preclude me from posting a slide show and erasing an entire morning's work--and now it won't let me get back in to edit. I don't think they appreciate my proposed slogan: Just slightly ahead of our ability.

A government of, by and for the lawyers. The Only Ones who can interpret the arcane language they write, like ancient high priests mystifying the commoners.

At least, that's what they WANT you to think - it is by no means the case.

Any law contrary to the plain language of the Constitution is void as if it had never been passed (Marbury vs Madison; Norton vs Shelby County).

Strange as it may seem, we the people are the ultimate arbiters of the law and justice, since all just powers are derived from our consent. When our representatives no longer represent us by violating their sacred oath to protect and defend the Constitution, our next recourse is to simply withdraw our consent, and along with it all of their legitimate powers.

Educate your friends.
