That’s why this particular young person is fortunate to have parents who care about his safety and happiness enough to give him age-appropriate training, and importantly, age-appropriate trust. And he’s especially fortunate to be raised in a home where the parents understand and will not surrender their rights in the face of intimidating authorities demanding otherwise. [More]

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner looks at a place where the Orwellian maxim "Ignorance is strength" is official policy when it comes to educating young people about guns.  You know, New Jersey.

Southern Sense

I'm going to be doing the Southern Sense podcast today at 2 p.m. Eastern (actually 2:15 -- they start the program with a tribute to fallen heroes).

We'll be talking Gunwalker and whatever else is happening gun-related in the news.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

For years, the NRA and the American Right have played games with some imprecise wording in the Second Amendment, which was always about a state’s right to have a well-regulated militia, but now those games are distorting U.S. foreign policy, too, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.  [More]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Academic Studies

On average, there are more than three gun dealers for every mile of the 1,970-mile border between the countries. [More]

Manipulate much?

I'm confident someone with statistical bona fides and the time to take this apart will be able to find all kinds of other unwarranted conclusions they want us to infer, along with outright misdirection. 

 

Intolerable Acts

Lawmakers eye new taxes on guns, ammo in latest wave of legislation [More]

Armed American Radio

Here's the archived program from Sunday night:

• 3-17-2013 Hour 2
