DC Court: The Parker Decision

Friday, March 9th, 2007

The DC courts handed down a decision in the Parker case today which has me thinking Christmas came late. Witness, logic :
In determining whether the Second Amendment’s guarantee is an individual one, or some sort of collective right, the most important word is the one the drafters chose to describe the holders of the right—“the […]

National Park Attendence in Decline?

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

No Child Left Inside has posted a piece titled Economist on National Parks (TreeHugger) concerning the increased green awareness coinciding with declines in attendence at some of the major National Parks such as Yosemite.
I would love to visit especially Yosemite and Yellow Stone, they’d make great motorcycle trips. But as much as I’d like […]

Only Outlaws Will Have Guns

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Everyone has heard the old adage about outlawing guns and only outlaws will have guns. Yet it it often ridiculed as trite propoganda by the anti-gun crowd. But despite their dismissal of it the truth of it is easily evident.

The Good Shepherd

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Even if you’re not planning on seeing the new movie The Good Shepherd it is worth taking the time to read J. R. Nyquist’s thoughts on the movie and bone up on your CIA history since, obviously, this movie about the CIA’s history isn’t going to give it to you. Surprised? Me neither.

The March of South American Communism

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Looks like Castro, Putin and Ahmadinejad’s good buddy Chavez is taking another step in the shoes of his heros and is nationalizing U.S. owned telecommunications and power companies. In the meantime the U.S. legislature sits on their hands while unabashed, self professed Communists take over South America.
More interesting is that the story is […]

80 Year Old Shoots Intruders

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

The loss of human life is always tragic. But there is also a saying that if nothing else a person’s life stands as a warning to others. Recently in Arizona an 80 year old man found himself erecting such a signpost that will reach the criminal mind more effectively than a dozen extra […]

Bush Administration Reverses Ashcroft on Second Amendment

Monday, December 25th, 2006

When President Bush was campaigning for office he clearly stated that he would sign the renewal of the Semi-Auto ban if it got to his desk. A lot of us took that as “like you’ll ever get that to my desk anyway”. Once elected (like it was an option for Gun Owners to vote […]

Probe of Islamic ties OKC ‘obstructed’ by Feds

Monday, December 25th, 2006

Interesting that the AP would even write a small bit about the FBI blocking further investigation into the OKC bombing but they did down play Islamic ties to McVeigh and Nichols.
Rohrabacher said he also was denied access to others with suspected ties to the Oklahoma City bombing, including al Qaida-linked terrorists Ramzi Yousef and […]

Continued Rise of the Russian Bear

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

After nationalizing Shell’s investment in Russia Putin is not only eying BP’s invesments in Russian energy production. This is especially worrisome when Putin will obviously use energy as a poltical weapon against his neighbors. I guess you can take the thug out of the KGB, but you can’t take the KGB out of the […]

Wither Right To Privacy?

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Yet again the media is selective about who’s rights they recognize as legitimate though most of the time they’re on the opposite side of logic anyway. And the Second Amendment has long been on their “ignore” list. Case in point, it seems they feel the public has a right to know who owns […]

Diana was bugged by secret service in U.S.

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Let those who bash President Bush on the wiretapping stuff explain their wonder boy’s actions in spying on Princess Diana. Of course it was probably prurient on the part of the Boy President it’s private and none of our business, right?

More Judges Packing Pistols in Courtrooms

Friday, December 8th, 2006

After a rash of judge shootings a few years ago more Judges are packing court. I think this is a positive step mainly in social acceptance of the fact that law enforcement cannot be everywhere at once and ultimately they’re only responsible for filing the follow up report anyway.
At the same time […]

U.N. OKs Weapons Trade Treaty Resolution

Friday, December 8th, 2006

If you ever need an example of why the UN is bad how about their voting against the world’s right to self defense? What this effectively means is that if you follow the UN’s decrees you can buy firearms but if you recognize the UN is a 2-bit dictators club reaching for control of […]

Not-quite-so-fat cats

Friday, December 1st, 2006

The media has been in the cross hairs for sometime for their choices on what to cover and what not to cover. Especially when reporting on our boys overseas and only report when they get killed or kill someone they shouldn’t have. They have effectively controlled the American people’s view and understanding of what is […]

Woman, 92, Dies in Shootout With Police

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Police serving a drug related search warrant on a 92 year old woman had to shoot her to serve the warrant. Besides the implication of the police acting on bad information and shooting a harmless 92 year old woman (harmless like granny in Every Which Way But Loose apparently).
Much to the dismay of the […]

Girl 14 Accused Of Supplying Machine Guns

Monday, October 16th, 2006

It is sad that in England an honest shop owner cannot own a pistol to keep under his counter but a 14 year old gir can get sub machineguns for a drug gang. Society focuses entirely too much on law that curbs the rights of the citizenry because it’s easier than actually catching crooks. […]

‘Shoot Me First’

Friday, October 6th, 2006

If only all chidren were raised like these girls America would be a different place.

The rally for ‘illegal’ guns

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Looks like at least some New Yorkers have had enough of Bloomberg’s and New York’s antics where private ownership of guns is concerned. Bloomberg, proving once again the Republicans will let anyone in the party (like John McCain wasn’t evident enough).

Disturbing the peace of gun-free parks

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Yup, the Indy Star is again showing it’s ignorance. Their staff Op-Ed today looks like it was written by the Brady Campaign: Disturbing the peace of gun-free parks .
So far, Indiana’s application of the Second Amendment has pleased the NRA and kept the state above the national average in gun-related deaths. Opening the public’s […]

Indiana DNR: 1 Year Reprieve

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

The Indiana Department of Naturual Resources director Kyle Hupfer has announce a 1 year reprieve on the policy which bans Hoosiers from carrying their concealed handguns in state parks.
“We’re a society of rights,” he said, “and it’s a basic constitutional right of citizens to bear arms, and any restrictions on that need to […]

Forget the Anti-’s

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

We could end up having all firearms classified as “machine guns” even if they cannot fire a single round because of the ATF changing its mind on things already classified and ruled on. What that means is if you were to get a letter from them saying that it’s OK to build something a certain […]

Societal Yardsticks: Poll Taxes vs Carry Permits

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Just a thought… but if the courts have deemed it illegal to charge a poll tax which could deny people their Constitutional rights.. why is it then OK to charge a citizen to live by his Second Amendment rights? Is it not simply a type of poll tax?
Remember that the poll taxes were originally […]

Republican 2008 Hopefuls

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Looking at the front runners, so far, for the 2008 Republican nomination is not good for my digestion. The only light at the end of that dark tunnel, other than the train coming at us full speed, is that many others are also aware of how bad it could be for gun owners. First […]

This Global Warming & Coal fired Electricity

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

As a quick followup to the sulfur Global Warming Fix; I was listening to a discussion today on “clean coal technology” involving gassing coal to remove the methane so that they do not have to burn the coal itself. One of the problems with Indiana coal verses coal from, say, Utah, is a high sulfur […]
