Supreme Court Ducks Second Amendment in Domestic Violence Gun Ban Case

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a case involving domestic violence-related gun prohibitions but will leave unaddressed a key Second Amendment issue it raises. [More]
And they were silent on Highland Park. Musn't upset the status quo...

McAuliffe’s ‘Man Up’ Dismissal of Parker Threat Arrogant and Hypocritical

“WHEN YOU SEE ME AGAIN, YOU BEST WALK THE OTHER WAY LEST I BEAT YOUR LITTLE @$$ WITH MY BARE HANDS.” [More]

Batman Begins

I have my own plan for protection in my home. I keep a baseball bat by my bed. [More]

The Big Easy Lie

On October 27 President Obama addressed law enforcement personnel gathered in Chicago and said that “It is easier for a lot of young people in this city and [communities around the country] to buy a gun than it is to buy a book.” [More]
As far as necessities go, that means we're making "progress." Last time he used that line, he claimed it was easier to buy guns than vegetables.
