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 [...]

The Oz Express rear-ended the Wonderland Limited en route to Camelot, as the Democrat-controlled Senate porked up the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Bailout. We have reports of knights, dragons, Munchkins, cowardly lions, white rabbits, mad hatters, and smiling Cheshire cats roaming the countryside. Rumors of Alinsky, ACORN, Ayers, and Obama have surfaced in connection [...]

While reviewing comments on this site, I came upon a recent two-word gem lacking capitalization or punctuation. I’m not sure if the “you suck” (sic) comment from mc loving referred to my post, “Chicago gang violence shows gun law failure” (April 24th, 2008, Category: Gun Law Failures) or to a comment under that post.
It [...]

In July of this year, before my last post bemoaning their state of helplessness in the face of crime, British subjects appear to have been given some ability to legally defend themselves from burglars and assailants. On July 15th, authorities authorized crime victims to fight back against attack without having to prove their innocence [...]

CBS 2 reports that 125 people were shot and killed this summer in Chicago.  The story further states that the number almost equals the number of troops lost in Iraq over the same period.
What are we to make of this carnage in a city with a handgun ban and some of the most onerous anti-self-defense laws in the [...]

The United Kingdom has banned handguns.  The British Olympic Pistol Team can not practice on British soil, because of their draconian gun laws.  Yet, in spite of all their legal prohibitions, guns continue to be available to criminals and gun crime continues to rise.  Read about areas in Manchester “…where the police don’t go.”  This curious [...]

Hurricane  Gustav missed New Orleans.  Remember what happened during Katrina?  Following the storm, some law enforcement officers stayed home, some courageous officers continued to operate from home, and some mismanaged cops disarmed honest citizens.
Fortunately, since those disgraceful episodes of civilian harassment, laws have been passed at the federal and state levels to increase protection for  the fundamental [...]

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 [...]

A few weeks ago, we received a letter from unicef soliciting money to help out in violence-ridden Darfur.  If you’re as old as I am, you may remember that as children,  many of us used to take our little milk cartons and go door to door doing the “Trick or treat for unicef!” number, instead of collecting candy [...]

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 [...]
