Teach Your Children Well
Those of you with young kids should check this out to see if it can be a helpful supplement to what I hope you're already teaching them. [More]
The End Game
So it is with gun control: liberals propose these useless laws and regulations not in an attempt to honestly curb gun violence but rather in a long-form attempt to pass other laws down the road. [More]Shoot, Pete Shields let that cat out of the bag back in '76.
But no one wants to take your guns.

Why Do You Think They Call Them 'Fibbies'?
The FBI tried to claim that the shooting at the baseball field was spontaneous and had no target, despite all evidence to the contrary. [More]It's more than a mystery.

The Measure of the Man
Comey was "calculating, designing to try and get a special counsel because he didn't have the courage to stand in front of the TV cameras and say, 'I want a special counsel appointed,' said Dershowitz.

Why Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, members of Congress need more protection [More]More than who?

Projection: Chicago's police pension fund will be broke in 2021 [More]The whole goddam state is going bust.
Time to squeeze the productive some more, and when that doesn't work, demand the feds (the American tax cows) pay for the welcome mat.

The Infringement Continues
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take a case about the boundaries of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, by saying it will not review a California self-defense law. The petitioners in Peruta v. California who asked the Supreme Court to review the case called the controversy "perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question" left to come before the Supreme Court. The high court's action on Monday will leave that question unresolved. [More]Meaning Americans will remain disarmed or face the risk of having their lives destroyed.

Neither does the Supreme Court.
