The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
SayUncle was on top of it while I was busy digging up Dan Cooper’s campaign donating records. I guess the Pennsylvania State Police are giving free lessons on operating illegal gun databases to neighboring states. You know, when the “crazy” folks said all this instant check stuff was really a conspiracy to register all gun … Continue reading “Delaware Gun Shennanigans”
So says this Daily News article that has been making the rounds. That’s funny, because that’s pretty much the opposite reaction I’ve gotten, even from women and children. He even goes so far as to say the first shot gave him PTSD, and insult to people who have gotten PTSD from experiencing something far far … Continue reading ““It Felt To Me Like a Bazooka””
The White House has released a press statement (which I do not yet have a link to)Â [UPDATE: The link can be found here.] announcing their plans. I have to say, for the most part, it’s a big nothingburger. The EO plan is far less bold and ambitious than I was expecting, but we are dealing … Continue reading “Executive Orders: The Shoe Drops”
We’ve done very well getting bipartisan cooperation on passing a suppressor hunting bill in Minnesota, only to draw a veto threat from Governor Mark Dayton, who notes: “Nowhere in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution does it refer to the right to bear a silencer,†Dayton wrote in the letter. “To allow gunshots … Continue reading “Minnesota Governor Threatening Veto on Suppressor Bill”
It seems that as long as you have the right political views, you can break gun laws and get a slap on the wrist. If you don’t, you’ll end up facing serious charges and years in prison. Compare these two situations: 1) In New York, an activist who promoted the SAFE Act that made carrying … Continue reading “Hypocrisy Gets You a Lighter Sentence?”
In a case where being polite and cooperating with police quickly turned into commands that a reasonable person would not have felt were optional so that they could leave, the Arizona Supreme Court said that in order to conduct a frisk of a person, “officers must reasonably suspect both that criminal activity is afoot and … Continue reading “Fourth Amendment Protections Taken Seriously in Arizona”
In regards to the whole Brendan Eich’s purging from the Mozilla Foundation, Tam notes that we’ve engaged in a good bit of that type of thing in our community. In fact, a very sharp analogy to the Brendan Eich situation is one that had its genesis with this very blog. But I do think it’s … Continue reading “On Witch Hunts”
When I first started reading this article at CNN, I thought it was a joke; a sort of a tongue in cheek call to Bloomberg to put his money and reputation where his mouth is. But no, this is a serious article suggesting that Bloomberg and all the other billionaires (who have their own armed … Continue reading “CNN Parodies Itself”
Bill Quick over at Daily Pundit has been blogging for as long as I can remember. He’s a clear thinker, so when he offers a criticism, it’s something I take seriously, such as this: OTOH, your personal approach gives you no standing to trash those who take a different approach. At least Sebastian is willing to … Continue reading “On the Self-Defense Priesthood”
I read about this wrong house raid incident last night, and I have to agree with SayUncle on this one: Using a chainsaw seems to me to be unnecessarily dangerous and doesn’t lend itself to stealth. Also, if I were sitting around my house and I saw and heard a chainsaw coming through the door, … Continue reading “Chainsaw Ripping Through the Door”
