Sometimes, at gun shows, I meet people who don’t want to join a pro-individual rights organization, because they don’t want to be “on a list.”  They don’t want “Those People” to know who they are.  The non-participants in the debate won’t write letters or make phone calls, because “They” will identify the low profile folks as individuals who [...]

It seems appropriate on September 11th, another day that “will live forever in infamy,” to look back at the status quo antebellum and the history of the War in Iraq.  This is especially important during this election cycle, since Barack H. Obama’s primary claim to fame was that he was against the 2003 invasion of [...]

Much is often made by Left-wing “pacifists” about the fact that Gandhi was successful in ending British rule in India through the use of non-violent protest. If the game is Gandhi versus Great Britain with the world press looking on and sympathizing with the anti-colonials, Gandhi wins. But what would have happened, if Gandhi had [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thanks to Dan for his comment on my last post regarding the possibility of actually trying to put a third party presidential candidate over the top with a coalition of gun owners.  It’s always refreshing to discuss issues with conservatives, Libertarians, and gun owners, because we tend to be independent thinkers and not progressive/liberal groupthink [...]

Finally got the spam cleaned out from my two-week absence.  blogivists.com has revised the format for their bloggers, and I am very happy to report that I now have a toolbar.  Spelling should improve and I should be able to provide quick links to other sites.
I wanted to respond to Steve’s comment on my post [...]

If the next President’s protential Supreme Court nominations and 2011 political redistricting have not moved you to actively support electable pro-gun rights candidates this year, the text of John Bolton’s Imprimis speech should electrify you into action. John Bolton is a former U.S. Representative at the United Nations. Imprimis is a monthly publication [...]
