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,

A survivor of the communist takeover of Cuba schools Democrat gun-grabbers in Oregon who, like their Democrat peers across the country, are following in lock-step with the national party and hoping to use the tragedy in Newtown to rob law-abiding citizens of their natural right to self-protection — be it against predatory criminals or a tyrannical government. Reached for comment, Maverick Republican Senator John McCain called Mr Martinez a “weird-sounding

The Senate’s biggest dupe once again comes to the aid of the Democrats.  And in return he gets patted on the head by his media masters.  For being sensible.  And just the kind of “common sense” compromiser and thoughtful leader we need going forward. Unless, of course, he happens to be running for President. At which time he becomes not so much sensible and filled with common sense as he

TTAG: If gun grabbers claim that places like Chicago and California suffer from seepage of guns from other states that causes their crime rates to rise, then why do the places the guns originated from have lower crime rates? Here’s why: it doesn’t matter where a gun comes from. Chicago and California have higher rates of crime because those areas are more conducive to criminal activity. […] Criminalizing the ownership,

How can anyone not agree with Melissa Harris-Perry’s reasonable, common-sense discussion of childhood collectivism? I mean, it takes a freaking village people, and unless you’ve lived the life of a shut in, never traversing government roads or crossing government bridges, you didn’t make that baby alone. Making Ms Palin’s phony outrage so déclassé. Man, we sure did dodge a bullet with this crazy wolf-killer, didn’t we? I guess we have
