White House ‘home rule’ stance only applies to restrictions and controls
When he says he wants to ban “assault weapons,” do you ever see him acknowledge that some places be left unmolested? How about “gun free zones” or “universal background checks” or...? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a persistent bit of hypocrisy used to mask the reality that totalitarians mean to rule your home and everyone in it.
Brady Legal Acumen
It's funny. Just this morning we saw the Bradys claiming victory on a case they ended up losing.
Now, while doing research for today's GRE, I found a pre-McDonald article:
Now, while doing research for today's GRE, I found a pre-McDonald article:
Although the Brady Campaign expects the Chicago ordinance to be challenged, it thinks it may survive because Chicago does not have the restrictions on long guns like the ones found in Washington, D.C. The Chicago law may also survive in the view of the Brady Campaign because the decision in the D.C. case will likely not resolve the issue of whether the Second Amendment applies to the states and other cities that are not federal enclaves.These people and their lawyers continually suck, which is fine by me.
Last Night on Armed American Radio
AAR studios, outside and under the palms. Guest include The Arms Room's Mike Piwaworski, self-defense attorney Kevin Maxwell, famed economist, Dr. John Lott, commentary from David Codrea, Contributor Amber Kunau. [Listen]I was on in the second half of Hour Two.
Jerry Henry of Georgia Carry and Sean Caranna of Florida Carry were supposed to be on in Hour One, but the phone system wasn't working. I was afraid it would carry over, as I tried calling in to test the lines and got an automated message that the call could not be completed, but it suddenly came on right at the top of the hour.
Live radio. It certainly tests improvisational skills at times.
No Need to Thank Me
I even told you guys about it.
Jeez, for community organizers, you're not very organized.
Choke Point Continues
Heck, even the head of FDIC said it was all a misunderstanding on their part...
But this one is new.
Gosh, if I didn't know better, I'd think the administration doesn't respect a tough-talking Congress...

Wacky Races
That Waynermobile looks pretty slick. Glad to see the crackup didn't total it. And it's nice to see an eye toward better economy.
A Full Confession
'Hillary Clinton Has Admitted to Obstruction of Justice' [More]So?
With gutless, compromised/blackmailed Republicans doing the impotent whining, and no criminal charges, what difference does it make?

Top Obama Economist Calls Republicans ‘Nazis’ Over Religious Freedom Law [More]Funny thing about National Socialists...

Maybe They Were Just Looking for a Place to Buy a Wedding Cake
U.S. law enforcement officials also tell CBS News that cocaine and a weapon were found in or near the vehicle, and that investigators believe the people in the car were men dressed as women. [More]Definitely sound like knuckle-dragging conservative gun nuts to me...
What if You Passed a Law and Nobody Obeyed It?
And what if you were afraid to enforce it? [More]
New paradigm, people...
And the "mainstream" gun groups would do well to figure out how to be supportive instead of running to the Prozi press with smears like "extremist," which they and the gungrab groups will be more than happy to exploit.

The Sipsey Street Slacktivist
I have been getting some inquiries (some in the form of criticism for slacking) about why I haven't been doing more original work lately. [More]When you cast pearls, Mike, some invariably roll before swine.
"NRA Madness"
Because if we can't trust adults with guns on campuses, we can't trust adults with guns anywhere! [More]
But no one wants to take your guns.
Gosh, this is a shame, isn't it? I mean, who doesn't find indignant Prozis the most interesting people in the world?

How dare businesses be allowed to do this! [More]

A Sham or a Signal?
Considering his support for "don't call it amnesty" which will take it and everything else away and leave us with no recourse but to surrender or resist, I'd say it's a sham. [More]
And to all those who try to gloss the danger over by saying what we need are "outreach programs," first of all, where the hell are they, and secondly, guess what the Prozis ushering them in have been doing all along ... with your money...

Think of It as a Hard Drive of Sorts for the Brain
This can be a wonderful blessing, nothing short of a miraculous life-changer for some. [More]
Now watch the "progressives" work out a way to require it in everyone. You don't have anything to hide, do you?

A "Progressive" Paradox
If someone wanted to hire George Takei in his capacity as a professional actor to film a PSA disapproving homosexuality, and he refused to provide his services based on his principles and beliefs, how would that be any different from a Christian baker declining to decorate a two-groom cake? [More]
For that matter, why should any actor be free to decline roles requiring gay romantic contact based on a personal aversion?
And why are all those who are ... uh ... butthurt over this so silent when the Muslims do it? Anybody see any lawsuits over that one?
Challenge for all the "crusaders": place gay wedding cake orders at Islamic bakeries to find out how many are receptive. If any decline, sue them.
I dare you.

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Term "Natural Born" Is
We don’t go around defining “pizza,” because every American over the age of four knows what a pizza is. [More]Not that I want to spoil anyone's hopes, but it really is ( and has been) in all of our interests to get a correct understanding of original intent.
If you have an opinion, please cite sources.
Beach Blanket Bingo!
If only the government would disarm you and me!

John Lott's Crime Prevention Research Center has done advance scouting.
Why any gun owner would give aid and comfort to the enemy instead of to friends is beyond me. That said, there will no doubt be some oblivious but opinionated "Jack and Connie Plan"* attendees who haven't heard a word about this. Do what you can to pass the word along.
* That Consumer Cellular commercial with the retirees boasting of their deliberate bloviating ignorance ("Well we talk a lot, but we don't go on the web that much") somehow seems a perfect metaphor...
This Day in History: March 30
