Oh, this is reassuring:  while Congress is working to take away your “military-style assault” rifle / pistol / shotgun, an Arkansas Mayor and his Police Chief, citing high crime, have decided they can run their very own mini police state. Good thing we exempt police from any potential gun-control laws Congress is hoping to push through.  Because really, what could go wrong? “[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear

Bill Wilson, President, ALG, writing in the Daily Caller: Individuals enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces must swear an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” But what happens when the only crime perpetrated by the “enemy” is supporting and defending the Constitution? Such is the dilemma facing future military officers at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point —

All you have to do is listen for it, and know it when you hear it. For instance, here’s former Marine and gun store veteran Derek Greaves speaking at a Gun Violence Prevention Public Hearing in Hartford, CT: The truth is right there, clearly expressed, plainly spoken, directly presented. Unfortunately, we’ve become expert, as a popular and political culture, at pretending we haven’t encountered those very truths we continue to

Hey, remember that tax on “the rich” that Obama, with the help of the more “pragmatic” Republicans, pushed through Congress? Remember how it was a necessary measure to insure that fat cats paid their fair share so that America could cut its deficit and trim its debt? And remember how nobody who was at all serious believed for a second it was anything more than punitive class warfare — albeit

I know, I know. McCarthyism! I’m OUTRAGED! Blah blah blah. Look: Let John McCain and the left posture and preen. Me, I’m interested in learning the truth. I’ve heard Andy McCarthy speak to the extent the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government, along with his dismay at how politicians on both sides of the aisle circle the wagons to deny the problem. Now, take a look at this, from the

As Ace rightly notes, “as the goal is admitted, let us have no more discussion of these ridiculous diversions.” It’s not your folding stocks or flash suppressors or bayonet lugs they’re after: it’s your ability to remind them that you are free people, and that their power is contingent on you. And would-be aristocrats grow weary of such presumptions from the riff raff, particularly those they imagine in a cabin

Really? That’s your simple idea?  Okay.  Now here’s my simple idea.  Consider it a counter-offer:  go fuck yourself asswise with a Halibut. Of course, once we do this — that is, give up on the one document in the history of human governance that has protected individuals from the natural tendencies of governments to accrue power and eventually become tyrannical and then totalitarian — the only thing left to protect

Quietly, behind the scenes, unelected leftist true believers, posing as environmental stewards, are releasing ever-more burdensome regulations with the force of law to de-industrialize the US and turn itself into a kind of centralized authority that will control industrial policy from DC.  And all this was made possible by a three-panel “conservative” court who gave the EPA the authority to police human exhalation as a pollutant. Chase Power, the parent

I wonder, was the Mayor’s security detail armed?  And if so, I hope it was with nothing that can carry more than 7 bullets.  Because otherwise Bloomberg would come off as a petty tyrant and a giant douchey hypocrite.  And nobody wants that for a man who has shown consistently that he is willing to protect the good citizens of his city from salt and soda and accidents that may

Wait, you mean this isn’t only about scary-looking weapons found in the trunk of the car of an elementary school shooter who exploited a government-sanctioned gun-free zone / vulnerable children turkey shoot? Well, then. I feel misled.  And violated.  Freedom Outpost: Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday told host Candy Crowley that the push for gun bans won’t just be about her alleged
