Just like those who commit violent crimes with unregistered weapons — only without the “committed violent crimes” part. The opposite in fact: they keep their guns to protect themselves and their families against violent criminals who don’t much seem to care about gun control measures. Fairness! But let’s not be too hard on the political class: to run a thriving police state, you need a steady supply of new criminals.

“Released EPA Administrator’s Non-Public Emails Called ‘Deeply Troubling’”
You don’t say. Complying with a court order minutes before Monday’s 5 p.m. deadline, the Environmental Protection Agency yesterday released 2,100 emails received or sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on one of her non-public accounts. But which one? The name on the email account was redacted. The information provided by the EPA under court order doesn’t satisfy the man who discovered that Jackson has been using the alias “Richard
The perfect as the enemy of the good?
ROS at Victory Girls argues that Hobby Lobby, far from being principled martyrs against the onslaught of a tyrannical government that has determined that religious freedom doesn’t apply to individuals, is instead a den of capitalist hypocrites who need be exposed for their posturing perfidy: Oh, sweet, sweet Hobby Lobby, holder of my heart AND my wallet…………….drop the hypocritical outrage. […] […] when I peruse the gilt aisles of cupcake
This is what “Molon Labe” looks like on steroids
“Americans Buy Enough Guns in Last Two Months to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies”. God bless the rednecks, eh? And bless Barack Obama for reminding us of the 2nd Amendment principle that Americans should indeed be armed, and present themselves as a corporate force against any threat to the Constitution and their individual liberties. Still, I wonder how many of those firearms were in fact purchased by blustery
“The Age of Administrative Excess”
Which is just a nice way of saying we’ve allowed ourselves to be boxed into a governmental paradigm in which the administrative state has authorities that exceed checks placed on other branches by the Constitution. That is, we’ve created the bureaucratic army necessary for a red-tape coup, and the President and the leftists are figuring out ways to deploy them to that purpose. Again, the way out of this top-down
“FBI: 77% Of JUSTIFIABLE Homicides Involved Firearms; 99% For Police”
CNS: According to the FBI’s unified crime report, 77.3% of justifiable homicides, defined as the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony, committed by private citizens in 2011 involved firearms. That’s 201 involving a firearm out of 260 total justified homicides. For justifiable homicides committed by law enforcement officers in 2011, the number is even higher. According to the same FBI unified crime report police used firearms
Obama: “I won, so suck it, shorty,” redux
This is what is known as “compromise” to a faculty lounge postmodernist President suckled on the mother’s milk of Davis, Piven, Alinsky, Marx, Gramsci, and Ayers. Just as “President” means “when necessary, dictator.” And so long as he has a Senate willing to cede its power to the Executive, there’s not a whole lot we can do about it, short of principled resistance. I’ll leave it to you to decide
Julia ethics: “It would be easier in some ways than working, taking classes and then spending years paying back loans.” [Darleen Click]
Obama’s preferred Life of Julia on the local level More New York City co-eds are turning to a new source of income — sugar daddies — to cope with the rising cost of their college tuition, surprising statistics released yesterday reveal. And the majority is enrolled at New York University, according to the sugar-daddy dating site SeekingArrangement.com. Nearly 300 NYU co-eds joined the site’s service last year seeking a “mutually
