Somehow, 'putting another code in the books' is a bad thing when it reaffirms Second Amendment rights in national parks. [ Read Full Post ]
Jim Kouri in a Nov. 11 column in Mens News Daily examines how anti-Second Amendment Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's comments following the murder of 13 people at Fort Hood by an American-born Muslim, serving as U.S. Army psychiatrist, has inspired a great deal of angst from wide range of sources -- and spurred calls for her to step down.

Anti-Second Amendment zealots wasted little time in exploiting the massacre of 13 people at Fort Hood by a gun-wielding loon. But there was also an array of sober, sane responses to the shooting as well -- responses that offered solutions, not ideologic diatribes, responses that say freedom, not repression, is the always the best answer.

Even though Halloween is behind us, we still live have to keep an eye out for dead things coming back to life. Attorney General, Eric Holder, is still pushing for a renewal of the Clinton gun ban, which expired in 2004.
Last February, he made strong statements about fulfilling the promises made by President Obama on the campaign trail to make the ban permanent, but the economic and political climate the administration encountered made that legislation a non-starter. [ Read Full Post ]
Does denying guns to 'prohibited persons' ensure public safety?
Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea has been writing a series of blogs about the slippery slope in allowing some people to have Constitutional rights, but not others. He asks some intriguing questions that require more than a knee-jerk, emotional response. [ Read Full Post ]
The 'No Guns' sign insult – What if the signs read 'No Jews? 'No Dogs or Sailors on the Grass'? 'Whites Only'?
Jeff Knox of the FirearmsCoalition.org notes in a Nov. 1 blog posted on AmmoLand.com that "no gun" signs are "just another form of discrimination but against gun owners of all races." [ Read Full Post ]
Just got out of the woods in Northern Saskatchewan after a week of stand hunting during the rut. Friday the 13th was my lucky day as this buck strolled by me at about 11:30 on the second to last day of the hunt. Like every mature buck my fellow hunters and I saw in camp this week, he was cruising. [ Read Full Post ]
Dennis A. Henigan, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence Vice President, author of "Lethal Logic," and elitist worm-tounge, cherry picks his way through history and court rulings to support his skewered contention that, essentially, the 10th Amendment in unconstitional in his Nov. 2 hysteria-blog -- Guns in Montana and Tennessee: Is Secession Next? -- posted on huffingtonpost.com. Read it to see how this Big Brother bamboozler uses rationalized benevolence to hoodwink the unthinking into unthinking his way. [ Read Full Post ]
Both sides say Chicago’s gun ban didn’t work, but agreement ends there.
Alison Fox, a graduate journalism student at Northwestern University’s Medill school, interviewed Thom Mannard, executive director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence, and Dave Workman, senior editor of Gun Week, for a story published in Medill Reports on Oct 28. [ Read Full Post ]
Americans Buying Bullets Faster Than They Can Be Made
According to the Nov. 2 Washington Post, the only thing faster than a speeding bullet is bullet sales. The Post says a record-breaking amount of cash has been spent this year to purchase 12 billion rounds of ammunition -- or, 38 bullets for every American.
Sales in a normal year would be about 7 billion bullets.
The sales boom, which has exceeded bullet-makers capacity to produce the product, began just before the election of President Obama, according to the Post. [ Read Full Post ]
Misspeaker's Halloween announcement hides 'a trick on American gun owner'
John M. Snyder, director of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, charged on Oct. 30 that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says one thing ... and then says another. Actually, there isn't anything subtle or tricky in what she says. Pelosi is pretty blunt: You need to be ruled by benevolent rulers such as her. [ Read Full Post ]

I'm proud to say I knew the guy on my left before he became a celebrity.
In case you've been living in a cave in the Swat Valley, he is Jason Nash, the PR manager for Federal/ATK. And his 15 minutes of fame just kicked off in a major way in this week's edition of The New York Times Magazine. [ Read Full Post ]
The police officer who shot the suspected shooter in the rampage at Ft. Hood was an avid hunter and shooter, according to this (www.nytimes.com/2009/11/07/us/07police.html?hp). She sounds like a remarkable woman. I hope she recovers quickly from her wounds.

The NRA and its supporters are promising to fight California Assemblyman Kevin DeLeon’s (D-L.A.) AB 962, a state bill recently signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger that requires stricter control over the purchase of handgun ammunition and bans all Internet ammunition sales. Because Schwarzenegger vetoed the same bill one year ago, gun groups were surprised by the action, reported Katie Browning on Sandiegonewsroom.com on Oct. 27. [ Read Full Post ]
Dave Workman illustrates vividly the intellectual bankruptcy of gun control in his Oct. 21 blog on examiner.com [ Read Full Post ]
I’m heading off to Canada next week for a Saskatchewan whitetail hunt and pretty quickly settled on bringing a lever gun with me. Took my Marlin 336C in .35 Remington out yesterday to get my new scope dialed in (and an interesting little scope it is too…more on that later) and after I got it on paper I cranked off this 5-shot group.

Nationally syndicated radio host, "McLaughlin Group" panelist and Fox News contributor Monica Crowley rips the Obama regime in refreshingly accurate, gloves-off terms in her Oct. 21 column in the Washington Times.
"During the eight years of the George W. Bush presidency, the left constantly told us that 'issent is the highest form of patriotism.' During the Obama presidency, dissent is routinely considered the lowest form of treachery," she writes. [ Read Full Post ]
David Codrea notes in his Oct. 24 examiner.com blog that both candidates for New York's 23rd Congressional District -- including one endorsed by the NRA -- have declined top answer his Gun Rights Political Questionnaire, which he filed with their campaigns "to see if it could be useful in further defining the level of understanding and commitment the candidates have for the right to keep and bear arms. I did, and let the campaigns know I would make their responses available to readers here."
But, no response. [ Read Full Post ]
Philip Van Cleave of the Virginia Citizens Defense League is leading a statewide effort to "out" local mayors who have become New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s lackeys in a big bucks bulldozing of their constitutional rights. [ Read Full Post ]
Not surprisingly, the San Francisco Chronicle is all for legislation that requires firearms retailers to check a purchaser's identification and take a thumbprint when selling handgun ammunition. In an Oct. 5 editorial, it said the new law "would close this gaping loophole in efforts to keep our streets safe from gun violence. [ Read Full Post ]
A study published in New Science, a British magazine, says, "People who carry guns are far likelier to get shot – and killed – than those who are unarmed, a study of shooting victims in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has found."
The University of Pennsylvania analyzed 677 shootings over two-and-a-half years to discover whether victims were carrying at the time, and compared them to other Philly residents of similar age, sex and ethnicity. The team also accounted for other potentially confounding differences, such as the socioeconomic status of their neighborhood. [ Read Full Post ]
Weapons sellers say gun enthusiasts won’t have to bite the bullet much longer, as a nearly yearlong nationwide ammunition shortage may be winding down. "We’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel," said DeWayne Irwin, owner of Cheaper Than Dirt, a Fort Worth store and online retailer. [ Read Full Post ]
