The Denver Post: More than half of Colorado sheriffs have agreed to launch a legal challenge to the state’s recently passed gun restrictions. Thirty-seven of the state’s 62 elected sheriffs are prepared to sue to overturn laws that now prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines holding more than 15 rounds and require background checks for all private gun sales, Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said Tuesday. Cooke said he expects

The Hill: The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Wednesday immediately rejected a bipartisan Senate duo’s proposal to expand background checks. “Expanding background checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools,” a spokesman for the group said in a statement. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) unveiled a deal on

So. Throw on a sweater or two, turn down the heat to conserve energy, and get used to it. It’s time to manage the decline. Because for fairness, malaise and homogeneity is a small price to pay. What is it I wrote back in 2007, again? That Obama is Jimmy Carter with a tan? Well, in fairness to Carter, Obama hates his country far more than does Jimmah, who is

If you take anti-anxiety drugs your pistol permit can be revoked. Just as I predicted would happen. Funny, isn’t it? To the left, parents can’t know about a young teen’s abortion, but they themselves need to have access to all of our medical records in order to make sure they have us completely and utterly controlled and regulated. So much for emanations and penumbras. So much for concerns that identifying

Which, now you know why the Democrat politicians in Colorada, eg., didn’t want to hear from any law enforcement personnel who weren’t political appointees or pure political animals. In fact, they actively froze out the state’s Sheriffs, then pretended they were having a “debate” on gun violence. I feel silly repeating this yet again, but gun control is not about making anyone safer. It’s about control, and to the government,

Geraldo and his aging mustache, Bernie, fluff Bill O’Reilly on Geraldo’s show, and O’Reilly, in typical self-serving fashion, responds by fluffing himself, arguing that the left is after him because he’s so damn effective at crushing them, while the right is after him because they’re jealous of his greatness and influence, of his “best-selling books” and his prime slot on FOX.  Also, his documented success with the ladies, where loofahs

And yet the Senate  — including a number of Senate Republicans — believes it is within its legislative bailiwick to alter a Constitutional amendment to the Bill of Rights without going through the amendment process, and with zero public deliberation, based on a simple up or down vote, something Mark Levin rightly and righteously condemns. This is what tyranny looks like.  But if you need a little nudge to get

Of course it is.  Because it blunts the force of an agitated mob — stoked on by emotional appeals and grieving props being shuttled in on taxpayer-funded jets to lobby lawmakers to attack liberty — from overriding natural rights that are meant to be protected from government.  Which in turn speaks to limits on governmental power. And that’s just nonsense.  Everyone knows that all is government, and government is all. 

Robert Romano, ALG: The controversial Breitbart headline, “RNC Declares War on Conservative Grassroots” drew a lot of heat from those who suggested [new RNC chief of staff Mike] Shields’ comments had been mischaracterized. A day later, RNC communications director Sean Spicer called Shields’ remarks “inartful” and said they were directed at “the beltway professionals whose focus is solely to make a profit off the party and movement and don’t share

Just as the founders and framers would have wanted it! Reason: Richard Ahlstrand, of Auburn, Massachusetts, faces criminal charges after encountering a bear in his back yard and shooting the damned thing to avoid being mauled or eaten. Specifically, as noted at Reason 24/7, he’s charged with “illegally killing a bear, illegally baiting a bear, illegal possession of a firearm and failure to secure a firearm.” All of these charges,
