Heller goes after D.C. once more with feeling

On Monday of this week, Richard Heller and friends went back to court regarding the Masters of Washington, D.C. and their attempt to maintain the spirit of their gun ban after it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. David Kopel wrote a concise summary for the Volokh Conspiracy. This new suit includes some of the [...]

A figurative quick “shot” at Liberals on gun control
July 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Warning and disclaimer. If you are going to read this post, please read it all the way to the end. Many Liberals feel very deeply about their belief systems. If you use the tactic described below to “raise their consciousness” about armed self-defense, they may not appreciate it. You may have to verbally defend yourself. Hopefully they [...]

Correction to “Conservatives voting for Obama…”
July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Never trust your memory, even if you lived through the event. The Seventh Congressional District in Colorado was not gerrymandered by the State Legislature, it was gerrymandered by a liberal judge in 2002, after the Legislature could not agree on the boundaries of the newly formed district. The Republicans in the State Legislature tried to [...]

Conservatives voting for Obama? I think it’s a bad idea.
July 27, 2008 | 4 Comments
I had another post ready, but Steve raises an interesting argument in his comment on my previous post, “Supreme Court affirms individual right in Heller. Vote McCain!” ( 06-26-08) (Category: Courts) Steve’s approach deserves a response.
Steve opines that Obama and McCain are part of the Left-wing “boiling the frog” analogy, and that our freedoms are being incrementally [...]

There is an interesting remark concerning gun safety education in the Executive Summary of the massive National Academy of Sciences study. (1) The NAS Executive Summary opined that school firearms safety education may not be desirable, because it may increase interest in guns and “risky” behavior, and may, in fact, promote youthful handling of guns (gasp!) and hence, [...]

A lot of conservatives are “unsettled” by Barack Obama’s speech calling youth and others to national “service.” Let’s assume for a moment that Barack H. Obama was not referring to a KGB/Gestapo-like domestic intelligence organization in his speech of 07-02-08, when he referred to a “civilian national security force.” What he said: “We [...]

Kids and guns and the War on Terror

In the June 24th issue of The Denver Post, on Page 13 B, “Opinion,” there is a picture of an eleven-year old boy wearing a helmet. He is shown with a machine gun on top of a Humvee. The article in question is “Summer camp sets sights on military kids,” June 20th, Denver [...]

I’m not an attorney, and I don’t even play one on TV, but it seems to me that D.C. is treading on thin ice with its new gun regulations in at least two areas. First, the new law requires that registered handguns be kept unloaded and disassembled or locked up unless the gun is [...]

The National Rifle Association reports that the Department of the Interior has extended the comment period for allowing licensed concealed carry in national parks and wildlife refuges in accordance with the law of the state in which the park or refuge is located. (See my post, “60 Day Comment Period Opens on Guns in [...]

Colorado Senate Race Debate: Shaffer v. Udall
July 14, 2008 | 1 Comment
A debate took place today between former GOP Congressman Bob Schaffer and Democrat Congressman Mark Udall at the Wildlife Experience hall. I thought Schaffer did very well, especially when he read “anti-war” Udall’s own words in favor of going to war in Iraq. Schaffer also scored points when he noted that he had [...]
