National Research Council nixes national ballistic database for now!
August 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The National Research Council (NRC), in a report released in March of this year and reported in Science Daily, has recommended against the creation of a nation-wide database made up of ballistic images of all “new and imported guns” sold in the U.S. ”Current technology” apparently “may not reliably distinguish very fine differences in large volumes [...]

The proposed 2008 Democrat Platform Plankon the Second Amendment is as honest as Al Gore inventing the Internet, John Kerry crawling through the leaves with his double-barreled shotgun, Hillary Rodham Clinton duck hunting, Hillary and Chelsea dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, and Barack Obama saying he didn’t see the questionnaire about the handgun ban that had [...]

Democrats want to control every part of your life. Well, almost every part.

Thanks to Nicky Cheese for pointing out that parts of Australia already have recycling police equipped with headlamps, no less. But don’t worry, folks, they are only allowed to lift the lid on your trash can. They can’t legally rummage through your trash. That’s very comforting. When will they want to come into your house to inspect your [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Imagine a nightmare. Barack H. Obama is President of the United States with a 60 vote supermajority in the U.S. Senate that can override any filibuster. The Democrats control the U.S. House of Representatives and most state legislatures.
The “Fairness Doctrine” kills conservative talk radio and mandates “diverse” local radio stations run by left-wing women and [...]
