A third party vote is a wasted vote.
November 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment
As if we needed another reminder that third party candidates are the real third rail of American politics, the results of the GOP debacle in NY’s 23rd Congressional District should serve as a stinging lesson in Street Smarts 101. You don’t split the vote by endorsing a third party candidate!

The gun fight ain’t over by a long shot
May 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Just in case anyone is getting giddy over the restoration of concealed carry rights in national parks, here is a little reminder from California about the continuing anti-gun agenda of the left wing of the Democrat Party. Assembly Bill 962 limits the legal transfer of handgun ammunition between private parties in the People’s Republic to [...]

Tim, an Idaho school teacher, commented on his school district’s approval of a field trip experience that involved his students shooting under the supervision of a local sheriff’s department. (See my post: “Zero Tolerance = Zero Intelligence,” under the Category: “Guns in schools.”) The post referred to the hoplophobic response by the Cherry Creek School District in [...]

New computer-May have technical problems
March 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I will be working from a new computer for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully there will be minimal disruption. There is a lot going on: the tragedy of the Oakland police officer killings, the trial of the woman who “exercised” her husband to death in a swimming pool, and the trial of the man who [...]

Look for more shootings after church killing and more calls for gun control
March 12, 2009 | 2 Comments
You have seen the news stories about the church killing and the family murder rampage by the man in Alabama. This week, there was a spree killing in Germany. Those on the Left and others who believe that disarmed, helpless people are safer than armed people will no doubt again raise their voices and demand that we surrender our [...]

“New” “Assault Weapons” Ban no surprise
February 27, 2009 | 2 Comments
Obama Administration Attorney General Eric Holder’s announcement on Wednesday of a renewal of the “Assault Weapons” Ban should come as no surprise to anyone remotely aware of the struggle to maintain the Second Amendment rights of American Citizens. The Democrat Platform had an anti-individual rights plank and Obama, himself, supported the draconian Washington, D.C. gun ban, even [...]

“Santa Claus Shooting” points out California gun law failures
December 28, 2008 | 1 Comment
We don’t have all the information yet on the Christmas Eve massacre of nine people in Covina, California. The killer, Bruce Jeffery Pardo, was apparently desperate, because of a recent divorce settlement and previous job loss. The murderer killed himself after fleeing the mass shooting and arson at the Ortega residence, home of [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]
