Rumor has it that the Colorado State Legislature will end their session on Tuesday, 05-05-09, instead of the date set in statute, which is 05-06-09. As of today, there has been no reported action on HB09-1180, which would allow Colorado citizens who have current concealed carry permits to use the permits and an approved photo [...]

As you have probably read, on April 20th, the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, sometimes affectionately known as “the Ninth Circus,” because of its frequent liberal opinions, ruled that the Second Amendment is incorporated against state and local governments. Many smart people have weighed in on the meaning of this decision and whether it is likely [...]

It’s Columbine Season-Media Bias Reigns
April 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It’s that time of year again. On 04-12-09, the CBS “news” program, “60 Minutes,” aired a segment on the (Gasp!) increased number of gun purchases in the U.S. Of course, the “unbiased” “news” report managed to get in information about the Virginia Tech Massacre, recent police shootings, as well as the alleged link between U.S. [...]

The report [...]

We will have shootings as long as the Left pushes restrictive gun laws, limits concealed carry, mandates “gun free criminal-safe free fire zones,” and publishes the names and life stories of [...]
