“Sophisticated Europe!” Not quite!
June 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
If you’ve spent much time talking to Liberals about gun control, you are probably tired of hearing about “sophisicated Europe,” the land of perfection. Socialized medicine, draconian gun control, intrusive law and order, mandated social responsibility and all the other things that we uncouth, barbarian, rednecked, knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, God-clinging Americans “should” aspire to, but don’t, [...]

Many smart people have weighed in on the meaning of this decision and whether it is likely [...]

Pelosi says, “Registration!” Can you say, “HR 45?”
April 10, 2009 | 1 Comment
Once again, three all too “convenient” spree shooting incidents have given the Left a bully pulpit to push gun control just before the anniversary of Columbine and the yearly NRA Convention. I wonder how these shootings ”seem to happen” at just the right time for Liberals? Kind of reminds you of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mack Meltdown, [...]

“Fairness Doctrine,” Accountability,” and “Localism”-Liberal code words to silence diverse voices
February 17, 2009 | 3 Comments
As a proud member of what Senator Schumer “affectionately” calls “the Chattering Class,” I think we need to keep a sharp eye on Democrats like Senators Tom Harken and Debbie Stabenow. Stabenow opined on a talk radio show that we need to bring “accountability” to the radio airwaves, which are more or less dominated by [...]

By now, you have heard the story of Marie Morrow, the Cherokee Trail high school senior in Aurora, Colorado suspended for ten days after classmates saw three cadet-type drill team training “rifles” in her vehicle in the school parking lot.

Re: Comments on H.R. 45-take it to the limits of political action
January 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It is clear from the comments regarding my recent post on H.R. 45 that many law abiding American Citizens are deeply concerned about the implications of this draconian measure. (Category: “Legislation.”) I am going to encourage everyone who owns a firearm or loves liberty to get politically active now. If you have done a little [...]

Brooke commented today on my “Pobre Mexico…” post of August 21st, which you can find under the Category of “Foreign Gun Laws.” The comment reads, “i don’t get wheat your trying to say. what are the facts that you know about?”
