It’s pretty simple. No guns within 1000 feet of a federal politician. This means that those folks who feel the need to exercise their 2nd amendment rights won’t be allowed into political rallies any more. Good. The National Review asks King some leading questions… King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, acknowledges that [...]

I think it’s pretty clear that the shooting of Dem Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords earlier today by Jared Lee Loughner was politically motivated. Watch the videos he made. The first deals with his twisted, nearly incomprehensible thoughts on currency and government control… The second reveals a lot more. Apparently he is (or was) a military recruit [...]

The motives of the coward who shot a bunch of people (including Dem Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords) down in Arizona earlier today are not known, but I think we can all agree that campaign literature like this certainly doesn’t help… Yes, I’m talking about Sarah Palin. This was the tweet announcing the ridiculous image above… This [...]

The Supreme Court heard arguments in the MacDonald v Chicago case this morning. McDonald is the first case to examine if the Second Amendment rights secured for citizens in federal jurisdictions also apply to citizens in the various states. In 2008, the Court held in District of Columbia v Heller that the Second Amendment protects [...]

Take a look at the following at see how many of these you agree with. From ABC: Support for gay marriage, legalizing illegal immigrants and decriminalizing marijuana all are at new highs. Three-quarters of Americans favor federal regulation of greenhouse gases. Two-thirds support establishing relations with Cuba. But hold tight. If some views that may [...]

(Note: For those of you who use Twitter, there’s a thing called “re-tweeting” which basically involves taking somebody’s tweet, putting an “RT” in front of it and then publishing it as your own. The effect is you’re reproducing somebody else’s content, but giving them props for writing something interesting. Understanding this practice is key to [...]

Three police officers dead because of paranoia. Here’s more… A man opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call Saturday morning, killing three of them, a police official said. Friends said 23 year-old Richard Poplawski feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns. [...] One friend, Edward Perkovic, said Poplawski feared “the Obama [...]

Looks like Barack Obama’s election is already stimulating the economy. The firearm economy that is. That’s right, guns are flying off the shelves all over the nation as gun owners rush to buy a large variety of rifles and handguns out of the fear that Obama and the Democratic controlled congress will pass drastic gun [...]

Despite criticism from several quarters, the Sarah Palin pick is being received very well by core Republicans. Palin, say conservative activists, has instantly changed how they feel about [John] McCain’s campaign and spurred them to go to work for the Republican ticket. First, though, they’re expressing their newfound fondness for McCain with their checkbooks. Since [...]

The news release that a Texas School District could be the first in the nation to allow teachers and staff to pack guns for protection was deemed so preposterous it received a prominent spot on the Nutty News Network. But the story is legit – the Trustees at the Harrold Independent School District have approved [...]

Emboldened by the recent 2nd amendment ruling, the National Rifle Association will spend $40M this fall, $15M of which will be used to paint Obama with the usual gun hating colors. Anybody want to bet they’ll use Obama’s “bitter” comments against him? Oh wait…they already have: “Our members understand that if Barack Obama is elected [...]

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. To the question of whether or not the 2nd amendment guarantees gun rights for all or just members of state militias…it’s not even close. And even among people [...]

The decision was 5-4, and I would have hoped that this wouldn’t be so evenly split because I think most people in this country acknowledge that the 2nd Amendment grants people at least the baseline right to arms themselves. I mean, we’re talking about owning a gun in your home without having to put a [...]

No joke. (CNN) – During a speech before the National Rifle Association convention Friday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee — who has endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — joked that an unexpected offstage noise was Democrat Barack Obama looking to avoid a gunman. “That was Barack Obama, he just [...]

“She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment. She’s talking like she’s Annie Oakley.” That’s Barack Obama discussing Hillary Clinton’s gun rights support in the wake of the Illinois senator’s recent comments on bitterness and voters who cling to such things as guns. Obviously, [...]

Nice to see the Democratic National Committee is committing politics as usual, distorting the truth for political gain. The DNC wants voters to believe John McCain doesn’t support closing the gun show loophole – even though he literally wrote the legislation on it. From the Baltimore Sun: During a briefing this afternoon, Democratic pollster Allan [...]

A smart play on his part if he’s hoping to close the gap with Clinton. From The Politico: Barack Obama did not hunt or fish as a child. He lives in a big city. And as an Illinois state legislator and a U.S. senator, he consistently backed gun control legislation. But he is nevertheless making [...]

Based on the justice’s demeanors and questions during today’s 2nd Amendment Supreme Court case, early guesses have the court overturning the DC handgun ban. There also looks to be a 5-4 split with the four most liberal justices bowing to the “common defense” interpretation of the amendment which focuses on the “militia” aspect as grounds [...]

One of the most important Supreme Court cases in recent years will come before the court tomorrow as the 2nd Amendment is put on trial. This is one of the few shadowy corners of our Constitution, having received very little High Court interpretation. As such, the justices will have to determine the meaning of the [...]
