All together now! A 2009 version of S. 2099 is a hoax!
June 7, 2009 | 1 Comment
There was a bill in 2000 with the number of S. 2099 that would have registered and taxed handguns. The bill did not pass in 2000. There is no bill so far this year with the number 2099 that deals with handgun registration.
I would not normally bother with this, but today at a gun show, [...]

7th Circuit contradicts Nordyke, rules that 2nd Amendment doesn’t bind states
June 5, 2009 | 1 Comment
In a decision that may set up another gun rights battle in the Supreme Court, the Seventh Circuit ruled that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states. The case is NRA v. City of Chicago, which was decided this week. One day after the ruling, the NRA filed an appeal. And so it [...]

Correction to post on S. 843
May 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment
In my post of 04-27-09, I initially reported that S. 843 would require the registration of all firearms’ sales. That was incorrect. S. 843 registers all sales at gun shows. In my opinion, the difference is academic in the incremental world of the Fabian-Socialist gun grabbers. The post has been corrected. The danger persists. Sorry [...]

S. 843-Gun registration bill threatens your rights
April 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Senator Frank Lautenberg is at it again. You remember him. He is the New Jersey Democrat whose legislation retroactively destroyed the right to legal gun ownership for anyone who was ever judged guilty of a domestic violence misdemeanor. This time, he wants to register all gun sales at gun shows in the U.S.!
The problem with registration [...]

Columbine brings out factually-challenged reporting and one-sided op-eds
April 20, 2009 | 3 Comments
It’s the tenth anniversary of the Columbine Massacre, so we should expect the Mainstream Media to do what they always do in terms of ramping up bias against guns and the people who own them. In my opinion, the Friday Edition of The Denver Post outdid itself, with one “news” story and two opinion pieces bashing [...]

The African-American experience with gun control-discrimination and genocide

The Racist, Discriminatory, and Genocidal Roots of American Gun Control
The African-American Experience
Understand! Gun control is discrimination. The rich and powerful will always enjoy the benefits of the protection of armed force through legal privilege and bodyguards. It is only “common citizens” who are disarmed by restrictive laws and gun bans.
Hard-Left Democrats often describe the centuries [...]

“Imminence of Hostilities”-A Metaphor of Politics and War
December 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Some gun owners, notably those who voted Democrat in the last election, don’t seem to be worried about their right to self-defense under an Obama Administration. I believe they should be concerned. Thomas Campbell aptly said, ” …coming events cast their shadows before.” Indulge me for a moment in the metaphor of politics as war.

Re: Tom’s Comment on “Ammunition Accountability”
December 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Tom Parker wrote today that “…this is happening under a Republican-dominated Congress with a Republican president.” First of all, Ammunition Accountability hasn’t happened yet. The concept is being pushed in about eighteen state legislatures, apparently not yet at the Federal level. Finally, the GOP lost control of both Houses of Congress in 2006, so the [...]

Gun Control AIDS Virus attacks Second Amendment T Cell
December 3, 2008 | 3 Comments
For those of you not familiar with the AIDS Virus, it attacks T Cells, which are the sentries in the human body that identify and destroy disease causing organisms, before those organisms can spread. I believe gun control, no matter how “well-intentioned” is the AIDS Virus of tyranny attacking the guardian T Cells of [...]

“Ammunition Accountability” Yet another Liberal feel-good anti-gun rights idea!
November 28, 2008 | 4 Comments
What won’t they think of next? In addition to “Smart Gun” technology that has not been adequately tested, Liberals have come up with yet another way to inconvenience and harass law-abiding gun owners. Eighteen states are apparently considering “Ammunition Accountability” legislation.
According to a website promoting this idea, every single bullet made for certain caliber handguns [...]
