Generally speaking I’m not opposed to background checks. Superficially, they just seem like a good idea. Then I see how the background check process can be manipulated to slow legal access to firearms or potentially completely shut down sales without doing anything more than deciding “hey we’re simply not going to fund that anymore”. What’s [...]
I guess having the press conference on top of the graves of 20 corpses would be unseemly…
So Politico is reporting that the White House readies 19 executive actions on gun control. Like this is all the result of Biden’s ridiculous posturing at his meetings.

If you’re a resident of Chicago you’re a government mandated victim waiting [...]
So not only am I a conservative that listens to NPR I also read a few liberal blogs – call it recon… Two of the liberal blogs I read, though, are not your typical rabid gun banning progressives. For example, this post may be one of the more thorough posts I’ve seen on the subject: [...]
