Reagan guns aside, there's apparently one other key impediment to the tranquility that everyone who's ever lived in a monopoly of violence-enforced gun free zone has accepted as the natural order of things: The government just doesn’t have enough power. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an admission that more guns = less crime followed with a wish for fewer guns. Probably because fewer guns = more tyranny. “Progressives” – they’re so predictable.

Honduran gun report fails to recognize truth in own facts and numbers
For a Good Cause
[More]
If you are a Connecticut gun owner, support this.
This is the type of event that can be very useful with people who have the potential to become allies with a bit of persuasion, especially when they see other people who look like their relatives, friends and neighbors having a good time and learning.
About Last Night...
The Council ultimately approved two of the resolutions — a safe firearm storage requirement and a ban on guns in establishments with liquor licenses — with amendments. Council members sent a third resolution, which would allow police seizure of guns in cases of suspected domestic abuse, back to the committee level for more fine-tuning.

UPDATE: I just received the following statement from VTFSC:
The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs opposes Burlington's politicized attack on the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights. This law went into effect in 1988 and has served this state well in providing a set of uniform laws regulating firearms and avoiding a confusing patchwork of conflicting ordinances.
Vermont's laws serve our state well, which is why this state is constantly one of the very safest states in this nation, as proven by our firearm related accident and crime rates. The Burlington City Council seeks to enact a politicized solution in search of a problem.
The state legislature passed this law correctly believing Vermonters are vastly law abiding, safe and peaceful, and willing to comply with the state's laws. The Burlington City Council's proposed ordinances would only defeat the state-wide legal uniformity provided by the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights, a law promoting effective citizen voluntary compliance.
It's Time to Have the Talk: Five-Minute Activism
And it's time to pit the left against each other and sit back and watch the fun.
Just look at this scene of barbaric "holiday" cruelty and carnage being promulgated by the Obama administration:
Send this link to PETA via their contact form.
Express your outrage that a progressive administration would callously use a piece of mutilated dead animal corpse as a centerpiece prop, and that this sends the message to all Americans that it is acceptable for greedy corporations to murder and selfish conservatives to devour fellow beings with mothers and faces.
If they're going to be consistent with their message, they'll howl with indignation. If they don't, well, that will just further demonstrate they're not about principal -- it's all just a show for the useful idiots they sucker donations out of.
Oh, hell, you might as well contact these guys and object, too.

Smart Man
Bugarcic quickly turned away when we went to see him. "I'm not talking," he said. [More]James Duane's advice goes double for "real reporters."
Meet John Doe
The probe began in the office of Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf, though no one will publicly claim credit for appointing Mr. Schmitz, the special prosecutor. The investigation is taking place under Wisconsin's John Doe law, which bars a subpoena's targets from disclosing its contents to anyone but his attorneys. John Doe probes work much like a grand jury, allowing prosecutors to issue subpoenas and conduct searches, while the gag orders leave the targets facing the resources of the state with no way to publicly defend themselves.

This Day in History: November 19
Maj. William “Bloody Bill” Cunningham and a large force of Loyalist militia attacked a group of Patriot militia that were resting in the home of their commander, Col. Joseph Hayes. The Patriots surrendered when the home was set on fire. Bloody Bill then lived up to his name by personally killing every prisoner in cold blood. [More]
