The city representing the epitome of gun control has confirmed it’s 500th homicide in 2012. Obviously such strict gun control works. If you posses a firearm in Chicago you’re either a COP, politically connected, a criminal (but I repeat myself) or gang banger. 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: [...]
The media will compare Senator Feinstein’s proposed Assault Weapons Ban to the 1994 ban but if you read it you’ll find it’s considerably more draconian. Chiefly any grandfathered weapon would become an NFA weapon requiring the same treatment as a real assault rifle or machine gun. Whether the semi-autos will be machine guns ($200 transfer [...]
The documentary film Beyond the Myth is free this week on Hulu.

They speak Spanish and you don’t so you reach out to the local Border Patrol, who has been challenging other agencies to use the Border Patrol for “translation services”, for a Spanish speaking officer to assist.

In [...]
In the news today I see a Marine and fellow Hoosier is in trouble with New York’s gun laws. Seems he innocently asked where to check his firearm when visiting the Empire State Building. Drivers licenses are honored across state lines and drivers licenses are claimed to be a privilege rather than a right. Yet a Constitutionally protected [...]
If ever you needed an example of agencies working hard to justify their existence that they are performing SWAT raids on farming collectives because they don’t like raw milk or cheese should provide another. These are essentially people who believe raw food is healthy food and they form cooperatives to essentially participate in raising their own [...]
There have been jokes about President Obama being the second coming of Jimmy Carter and in many ways his policies bear that out. But in the event there were any lingering doubts that this President is actively seeking to destroy our aliances, I mean short of sending a bust back to England, then we have [...]
The first thing to note here is that I simply refuse to even attend the Indiana State Fair as they have made it abundantly clear that I am not welcome there. That aside, the issue whether to allow alcohol sales the fair is a difficult one for me. I would like, were I to attend, [...]
