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 [...]
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 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 [...]
Now I’ve seen some stupid statements in my life but some stand above the rest: “Experience shows that putting firearms and grizzly bears in the same place ends up with dead grizzly bears,” said Steve Cain, senior biologist for Grand Teton National Park. As opposed to what, dead tourists?
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 [...]
We’re not an “Open Carry”** state but Federal judge as ruled police cannot detain people for openly carrying guns.
