There is a fascinating discussion of gun control at Eudaimonia blog. I don't know who the author is, but the really, really loooong A Few Thoughts On Gun Control is well worth the read. It is chock full of interesting images and charts like this one: and this and...

Advocates of gun control and liberal pundits generally disparaged the notion that David Gregory even possibly was subjected to criminal prosecution for violation of the D.C. gun law by possessing a high-capacity ammunition magazine on television. The non-prosecution was declared the only reasonable conclusion, and those of us...

I didn't get the pants reference at first.  Now I get it.  This sounds like a possible threat to human rights. From frequent photographer 9th District Neighhor: I photographed this proud Second Amendment supporter in a Walmart parking lot in Mount Prospect, IL. In addition to this sticker,...

Today is Gun Appreciation Day. We aren't following it the way we did with Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day or Empty Chair Day. But a reader did to go the Jacksonville Gun Show today, and sent in the following comment, photos and video. One hour wait to get in the gun show! Also,...

I told you on Monday, when I announced that I was joining both the NRA and EFF that The Tea Party movement has more in common with the hacktivist community than either side wants to admit. That common ground is not expansive.  The Tea Party movement certainly is...

We have a Gun Class Project ongoing to try to unravel the 39-page gun law passed and signed into law this week.  It is a very complicated Bill, to put it mildly. One thing I just noticed. There is a provision in the law which sounds a lot...

Embedded below is the text of the gun law just enacted in NY State. The underlined portions are new wording or sections. It's complicated stuff. I'll be reviewing it to try to figure out the answers to some popular questions -- such as what happens to current pistols...

One of the things I missed today during my long drive was the White House calling the ad embedded below "repugnant and cowardly." I'll tell you what else is regugnant and cowardly, a Presidential statement made by exploiting children on stage as a sympathy...

What is wrong with this sentence? From The Daily News editorial cheering the draconian gun control law passed in NY State with no public discussion, no public debate, no normal waiting period, no time for Senators to read it, no likelihood of actually reducing crime, but great...

From James O'Keefe (via Charlie Spiering): Veritas video reporter James O’Keefe has released a new video of his team posing as an anti-gun group promoting an initiative to journalists. At each home, the group dubbed as “Citizens Against Senseless Violence” asks each homeowner if they are willing...

I've been giving serious consideration to finally joining the NRA. The people who want to take away your guns (and they would if they could) almost always are the same people who want to control every aspect of your life, from the health care you get to the...

California's conservative activists are preparing to battle back Sacramento legislators, who are using the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and their new super-majority to impose further restrictions on gun ownership. A Fox News report describes some of the proposed measures: Political analysts say the political landscape puts...

An infographic from Mayor Bloomberg's "Mayors against Illegal Guns" depicting "common-sense gun control" shows how graphics can swindle their audiences using simple tricks. Despite the fact that the NRA has condemned the group for being anti-gun, MAIG is attempting to define the terms of the debate in ways...

District of Columbia Attorney General Irvin Nathan issued a lengthy letter today explaining the decision not to prosecute David Gregory “despite the clarity of the violation of this important law," despite rejecting NBC's claims of a subjective misunderstanding of the law, and despite vowing vigorous...
