Stay safer. Avoid criminal behavior and criminals.
June 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment
An article about a recent murder jogged my memory. (”Fatal knife attack not a shock. The female suspect has a history of attacking people with a blade.” Mitchell, Kirk, The Denver Post, Denver Newspaper Agency, Denver, Colorado, 06-15-08, Page 1-B.) This non-gun attack caused me to recollect an interesting statistic about murder. As I remember, about [...]

Why possess a gun in a high-crime area?
June 28, 2008 | 1 Comment
As I predicted, the smart guys on our side are perusing the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) Heller ruling to determine the implications of both the majority opinion and the dissent. I would like to focus for a moment on one of Justice Breyer’s comments in dissent.
Justice Breyer wrote,”In my view, there [...]

Liberal reactionaries: SAF reports Chicago Trib wants repeal of 2nd Amendment
June 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
In a 06-27-08 news release, the Second Amendment Foundation reports that the Chicago Tribune has called for the repeal of an “anachronism,” i.e., the Second Amendment. This is an especially interesting reaction to this week’s Heller decision by the Supreme Court. Heller confirmed that the “right of the people to keep and [...]

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said earlier this week that the city would not stand for violence over the summer. I suppose he means during the Democrat Convention, when there will no doubt be a police officer on every corner. The Mayor also indicated that he would look to some other cities for possible [...]

The U.S. Supreme Court, hereafter referred to as Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) today affirmed in a 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment indeed refers to an individual right to keep and bear arms. This was a somewhat expected win, given the questions asked by the justices in oral arguments and the history [...]

Support pro-individual rights candidates in primaries
June 25, 2008 | 1 Comment
In this election year, I think it is critical that advocates of the individual right to self-defense againt crime and tyranny recognised by the Second Amendment support like-minded candidates in primaries against hostile, less-dedicated, or untested opponents. This is especially important if the pro-rights candidates have rock solid voting records on Second Amendment issues.

Comment period on guns in national parks nears end
June 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The 60 Day comment period on the licensed carry of concealed weapons in national parks is rapidly expiring. This week is about it, if you want to extend the right of American Citizens licensed by their states to carry concealed in national parks. According to the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep [...]

War on Terror and media bias-Whose side are they on?
June 22, 2008 | 1 Comment
Usually, the people who want to disarm Americans are the same people who seem to want the U.S. to do badly in the War on Terror. Take this headline from the Denver Post. “Town braces for latest Iraqi offensive, Security forces enter Amarah to confront cleric al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.” Last line: “Residents said that fliers had [...]

A peek behind the Democrat curtain
June 21, 2008 | 4 Comments
Do you cling to guns and religion out of bitterness? If you are old enough to remember the four years of indecision and miasma of the Carter Presidency, do you remember his plan to tax oil company “windfall” profits? I ask these questions, because every once in a while, the Democrat ”intellectual elites” slip and actually let [...]

According to an E-Mail Alert from Gun Owners of America, Senator David Vitter, Louisiana Republican, is going to introduce a bill before the end of June that will mandate states with concealed carry laws to recognize CCW permits from other states that also allow concealed carry. Vermont and Alaska, which do not require permits or licenses [...]
