I love to hear those who disagree try to tear down the concept of “Peace through superior fire power” as some unproven myth. And a good minute or two before the phrase is mentioned in the below video it was already on my mind. Of course the cost of such high precision hardware was beyond [...]
I’ve been yelling at the radio and television news for 2 days over the utter deceit coming out of their mouths regarding what the issues truly are in Wisconsin. But here’s one that calls it what it is. In Wisconsin, it’s the unions vs. the people. In the romantic liberal vision of this union uprising, [...]
We’ve been waiting for this shoe to drop for 2 years now. The knowing is what led President Obama to be named Gun Salesman of the Year for 2008 and after this bit of news I’d lay odds he’s a strong contender for the same for 2011.
While I’m glad to see Christie at least partially understands in commuting Brian Aitken’s sentence that very descriptive article title,New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Commutes Sentence of Man Sent to Jail for Owning Guns Legally, is testament to why Christie should have pardoned him instead.
Oh now this could get interesting… Committee on the Judiciary has scheduled a hearing entitled Firearms in Commerce: Assessing the Need for Reform in the Federal Regulatory Process for Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Now I’m not sure which this is so it could [...]
The Obama Administration has reversed authorization to bring 850,000 M1 Garand and Carbines into the US for the collector market. This would have been another shipment of Korean M1′s and I suspect some were heading for the DCM. For over a year proponents of the current Administration have asked for evidence of what the President [...]
I’ve repeated until I’m blue in the face that CO2 is plant food and have pointed to articles showing increasing C02 makes plants grow better/faster not once but twice as far back as 4+ years ago. And these were largely articles meant to sweep the whole C02-is-plant-food under the rug by focusing on poison ivy [...]
The SCOTUS has just voted 5-4 that the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution applies to the states effectively ruling the ban on firearms in Chicago unconstitutional. Hopefully this will trickle down through the entire IL FOID system but I am not holding my breath. What is also significant here is the 5-4 split – that [...]
With a month to go for the primaries only today was I clued in to Bucshon for Congress who is seeking to be my Representative in place of Brad Ellsworth, the Democrat looking to win Evan Bayh’s Senate seat. Getting past the first thing that popped into my head I read through his site and [...]
Last week I sent the Governor a letter concerning House Bill 1065 and other firearms related provisions from this session. The Governor signed them all into law despite the high pitch whining coming largely from boardrooms and activists outside of Indiana. Today I received a response to my letter: Considering the clear language of the [...]
