McCain yard signs and the Second Amendment-Note to John
October 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Note to John in Flint, Michigan: thanks for sharing your perspective on my posts “Obama Second Amendment ad a tasteless joke?” and “Cautionary note on yard sign revenge. Hunting is not worth it.” I notice from your E-mail address that you have “edu” at the end. I’m guessing that you’re going to college in Flint. I’m going to try [...]

CU Regents reject Campus Concealed Carry, Passion Didn’t Work.
August 27, 2008 | 1 Comment
According to a story in the Boulder Daily Camera, the Colorado University Regents last week rejected a student petition to allow licensed CCW permit holders to carry guns on campuses in the university system. Regents commenting on the petition presentation cited “inflammatory rhetoric” and lack of facts and logic in refusing to consider the issue. [...]

Pobre Mexico! Gangs, drugs, gun control, corrupt police a deadly mix.

An AP article at newsmax.com describes the horrible situation south of the border, where the witches’ brew of illegal drugs, gun control, gangs, and police corruption are driving citizens into the streets to protest the mayhem. Imagine living in a society where it is very difficult to legally own a gun for self-protection and where gangs and [...]

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.

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, [...]

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 [...]

Dick Morris, “Heller and “schizophrenic” attitude about guns (Part 2)
July 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment
In Part 1, we discussed what I believe to be the fact that the recent Heller Supreme Court case merely affirmed 200 years of “Standard Model” legal precedents that the Second Amendment clearly recognizes an individual right to keep and bear arms. In Part 2, we will deal with Mr. Morris’s belief that “strict gun controls” save [...]

On 07-01-08, Dick Morris, former Clinton advisor turned Fox News Analyst, wrote for jewishworldreview.com that the Supreme Court of the U.S. chose “…the wrong time…to make a sea change…admitting the Second Amendment to our pantheon of civil liberties…by demonstrating how willing they are to toss aside decades of jurisprudence in pursuit of a conservative agenda…” Mr. [...]

On this Forth of July, I believe it is particularly appropriate to celebrate the recent Supreme Court victory for American freedom, Columbia V. Heller, which affirmed the right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms. We should also renew our commitment to support the men and women in the U.S. Military, the police, and [...]
