Nominate Your Hero

Good grief.  [More]

I nominate this guy, for when he was Attorney General. Based on results, many at Fairfax agree.

JBTs Without Borders?

A Thai court on Tuesday removed a key legal obstacle to the extradition to the U.S. of an alleged Russian arms smuggler dubbed "the Merchant of Death." [More]

Make that known. They're not the only usurer out there.

My suggestion--if you need a line of credit/business loan and don't have a satisfactory relationship with a local institution, check with the ones who offer cards to the gun rights advocacy groups.  Just make sure they don't have those damn "No Guns" signs posted at their branches.

It's awful hard to find an honest loan shark these days...

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at how, under government management, total control can turn into just the opposite.  Say, maybe we shouldn't be fighting it so hard...

Also listen to the sounds of silencio greeting Kurt Hofmann, and watch this week's program and answer a poll over at American Trigger Sports Network.
