Media Bias
2007-06-22 17:43:00
Well the media now admits what we all assumed for a long time.Journalists overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates.Can this be a conflict of interest. Of course it is.....but don't expect real journalists to care....they are convinced that their personal feelings, attitudes and financial support will not in any way sway their reporting.....Dream on.....!http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/pin g

Bloomberg The Turncoat Again
2007-06-20 19:58:00
Well America's Anti-Second Amendment mayor Bloom berg of NYC is now switching sides again.First he was a Democrat, ...then he decided he wanted the NYC Mayor's job....so he ran as a Republican.....Now he wants to be President.....so now he is switching from Republican to Independent status.I predict...he will announce his run for the White House.....and that this will propel Fred Thompson to the White House.No self-respecting semi-conservative could ever vote for this shallow, elitist, egotist, megalomaniac.http://rpc.technorati.com/rp c/ping

Efforts to prevent the mentally ill from getting guns are moving forward in Congress .All eyes are on this bill. Will Senate Democrats let this bill get passed without ugly amendments?http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping

Handgun Limits
2007-06-11 21:29:00
Well, New Jersey is considering joining the ranks of 3 other states which limit handgun purchases to one per month.So what's so bad about this?Having lived with these restrictions for some time, I personally see no issues.Buying one gun per month gives most folks the ability to defend themselves from most anything.The reason for the limit - it may reduce straw purchase activity for illegal buyers (i.e., gangs etc.)Is there any proof that this restriction is saving lives? I don't think so. But as far as handgun restrictions go, this one looks worse than it actually is.Many argue that once in place the limits will change to "one handgun a year" or "one handgun every 10 years". Don't think we need to really worry about that.And why not worry?Because it politics. And most everyone knows that you can only push gun control so far before it becomes a political liability (Democrats know this). When gun control running amok, is no longer a political time bomb....then worry...worry a l...

Illinois - A State of Mind
2007-06-08 16:43:00
I now have a better understanding of why CCW isn't happening in the state of Illinois .Seems like Chicago liberals have a stranglehold on all Second Amendment issues.So why have the good law abiding citizens of this state put up with this for so long.Obviously, gun rights groups are so far ineffective in getting attention.Perhaps their voices will be heard in the next round of elections. (Wait a minute....Doesn't that Obama guy come from that state?....Oh well.)http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

Mosin Around
2007-06-04 20:43:00
Surplus rifles are sometimes surprising, in terms of history and accuracy.The Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 is such a rifle.Millions were made by Russia in WWII and they helped save the USSR from the Nazis.No one will claim that this weapon is superior to a Mauser design. But it's very functional and exhibits decent accuracy.I recently took my Mosin to the range shooting at 100 yds with cheap Wolf ammo.This 5.5 inch black circle ended up with 9 shot within 3.5 inches. Not bad for a gun made in 1944, using standard Russian ammo. All shots were from a sandbag rest with iron sights.You can get these guns cheap. Mine cost $69 with all matching serial numbers.These guns are fun to shoot, inexpensive to own, and can be scoped for hunting.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/pin g

Registration Mania in California
2007-06-03 15:47:00
Well Calif ornia here I come....or should the title of the song be California there I never go!Seems, Calif. Pols think people need to be checked out when buying ammo and a detailed records need to be kept. For what purpose? Obviously no real practical reason, other than to make politicians feel good that somehow this will reduce crime?I think its time to start a national registry of flaky people, those with superficial thoughts and behaviors, those that distort the national culture, those that inhibit clear thinking and overall civil behavior. I think we can start this registry in California and maybe it will save some lives.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

Penn. Gun Law Proposal
2007-05-25 13:32:00
While some may decry the new proposed Penn . state gun laws, I see nothing bad in them.The most extreme thing that is likely to become law is the one gun a month rule for handguns.This is the law if VA, except for CCW holders. It has not been a problem. Being limited to 12 handgun purchases a year is not an issue for most of us.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

Should You Worry
2007-05-22 23:19:00
In a recent survey a small minority(5%) of Muslims living in America expressed support for Al-Qaida while 13 percent saw justification is suicide bombings.When the population being surveyed is in excess of 2 million, even a small number of potential supporters of terrorist tactics is worrisome.Lets hope this is not lost on anyone, including Muslims.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/pin g

Open Carry
2007-05-21 14:32:00
It is generally rare that open carry becomes a controversial issue, mainly because most gun owners living in locations that allow open carry, just don't do it.In Idaho, a couple of teenagers are exercising their right and getting noticed.This is a non-issue for most gun owners. And personally, as long as the ability to carry concealed is granted in a given state, the issue of open carry just doesn't excite me.I understand why some feel its important to exercise the right to retain it. Those who have CCW permits have options for self protection that most often negates the issue of open carry.Yes, we all know CCW is not allowed in certain places. Most CCW holders have no problem abiding by the rules knowing that something can always happen when their in a restricted zone.Open carry is rarely exercised. The right to open carry will remain until someone can establish that it does more harm than good. So hats off to the two young teenagers who are setting an example in their com...

Does Anyone Have a Stamp?
2007-05-20 18:22:00
How about this for a new way to catch criminals. Lets micro stamp each cartridge fired with the gun type, serial number etc. When the bad guys leave spent cases behind, now LEOs can easily find them?This is getting traction and may become law.So what's wrong with the idea. 1. It will added modest costs to each new semi-auto sold 2. Criminals will not hesitate to use some abrasive to mark up the bolt face and destroy the ability to micro stamp the case.Some bad folks may actually get caught because of this new tool.....especially those who firing the gun without pre-mediation.Is this foolish legislation ?Maybe if it can actually help LEOs, and its not obtrusive technology, well maybe its a good idea?http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

Islamic Fears
2007-05-18 15:01:00
Seems, foreign ministers of Islamic nations are horrified by Islamophobia, which they soundly condemn as a great terrorist threat.If they wanted to reduce terrorist threats, seems like they should have denounced Islamic terrorists instead!http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/pin g

The Mayor's Choice
2007-05-17 18:06:00
Mayor Fenty of D.C. has plenty of thinking to do, and lots of folks who want him to take the Parker case to the Supreme Court. But he has lots of others who wish he wouldn't. The Washington Post presents the choices in a surprisingly balanced way.I hope the case goes to the high court. But as mention in prior posts, there are very solid political reasons not to let it happen.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

Gun Giveaway Politics
2007-05-15 15:46:00
Governor Kaine of Virginia wants to have it both ways. How typical of a politician when it comes to guns - and of Democrats.Kaine just signed a law making it a felony to "sting" an FFL in VA without VA permission and VA/Federal LEO involvement.Now, as reported in the Washington Post, he just doesn't understand why the VCDL is conducting a gun giveaway in a Fairfax County building.Of course he knows why its being done.The giveaway supports the intent of the legislation he just signedIt supports FFL holders in VAIt sends a message to the Bloombergs of AmericaIt sends a message to the government of Virginia - Citizens will support their rightsIt is perfectly legal and ethicalAs this surprisingly balanced article points out local government officials have no problem when government buildings are used for left leaning agenda's and anti-gun meetings by anti-gun non profits. Pro gun groups have the same right to assemble and conduct raffles etc. This is democracy at work - the only re...

Regulatory Madness
