(Video) I Was a Guest on NRA Radio’s ‘Cam And Company’ Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was a guest on Cameron Gray’s National Rifle Association radio program “Cam and Company” last night. I was on the program to discuss my article about Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s wrong-headed interpretation of the Second Amendment as one that doesn’t really protect the individual’s right to bear arms. My article under discussion was: […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Stephen Breyer: Your Constitutional Rights vary with geography

Posted on by Chris Wysocki

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer appeared on Fox News Sunday this morning. He spoke to his interpretation of the Founding Fathers’ intent with regard to gun control.

Gun-Toting Woman Accosted in Own Home is Arrested in Kansas

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Most Americans would imagine that if a homeowner is accosted in her own home by an outsider, the homeowner would be justified in arming herself. In fact, most Americans would think it a right… seeing as how there’s that whole Second Amendment and all. Well apparently there are neither any Americans nor any supporters of […]

Now we have Joe Manchin, who is acting like a TEA Partier Democratic Senate candidate Joe Manchin isn’t letting that kerfuffle over Sarah Palin’s political crosshairs deter his 2nd-Amendment enthusiasm. In a new ad, the West Virginia Governor touts his NRA endorsement, and […]

 

North Carolina Governor’s Gun Ban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It appears that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue went to the Rahm Emanuel school of governing because hurricane Earl was a “crisis” that was “too good to waste.” Perdue used hurricane Earl as an excuse to claim that the North Carolina was in a “state of emergency” and this proclamation opens the door for an […]

EPA Goes After Second Amendment

Posted on by Dave Blount

Absurd as it may sound, the most immediate threat to our constitutional liberties is not the adolescent Marxist in the White House or our soon to be lame duck left-wing Congress, but the Environmental Protection Agency. The Supreme Court’s insane ruling that the EPA has authority to regulate CO2 emissions theoretically gives it control over […]

 

You Know What Scares The Washington Post? Soccer Moms With Guns

Posted on by William Teach

Interestingly, they aren’t worried about soccer moms protecting themselves from the violence in Washington, D.C., or from the vast numbers of criminals who have un-registered firearms.

Should Federal Clerks and Archivists Have Guns and Badges?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To attest to the ever more authoritarian nature of our federal government, I give you the stormtroopers of the National Archives who, for some unfathomable reason, have guns, badges and the power to “raid homes.” The L.A. Times published a story recently detailing the poor state of security of our National Archives holdings. The piece […]

The New York Times sent Mattathias Schwartz to find out what was going on at Jack Dailey’s firearms training camps across the country and what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs.

Fisking the Chgo Sun-Times Anti-2nd Amendment Article

Uh Oh: NY Times Shows Their Disdain For The 2nd Amendment

Posted on by William Teach

On the 7th of July, the NY Times loved the Constitution, at least as far as Obama and Co. suing Arizona over their immigration law (which mirrors federal law) using the “supremacy clause”. But, see, there is a problem with the Left: they pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they like, often depending […]

 

Federally Mandated Literacy Tests to Buy Newspapers, Religion Classes to Attend Churches, Others

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrats might be right. It’s obvious that Americans have become a stupid people. Our schools have disgorged students who have fallen to the bottom of the barrel in literacy, math and science scores, late-night comedians have no lack for citizens on the street that have no cue about law or history, and as voters… well, […]

 

The Badger State: Carry ‘em if you got ‘em.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Guns, that is. Got one? Carry it! At least, one local DA says so: A Wisconsin prosecutor said he won’t enforce a host of state weapons laws after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense. Jackson County District Attorney Gerald R. Fox… …who describes himself […]

 

Daley’s Newest Stab at a Gun Ban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Daley’s temper tantrum against guns continues, but at a much subdued pace.

2nd Amendment Rights Finally Considered a Right for Black Chicagoans Too!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At long last the 2nd Amendment has been considered a personal right per the Supreme Court of the United States.

Chicago Police Chief Struggles to Justify Daley Gun Ban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Mick Dumke of the Chicago Reader had an interesting report on a recent press conference held by Chicago’s Police Chief, Jody Weis.

McConnell for Colorado: He Loves Guns and The U.S.A…. not so big on the U.N. (Video)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I have to say, I find it somewhat amazing to see the sort of campaign videos we’ve been seeing of late. They are hard-nosed, straight-forward, REAL American styled campaign spots. I can’t imagine any time in our past when such hard-core American sentiment would have been evident in campaign commercials like this. Here is one […]

 

Chicago’s Mayor Daley Must Want an 80-Year-Old to be Shot to Death?

It’s no coincidence when Mayor Richard “King” Daley is all over the news sternly scolding 2nd Amendment supporters over their interest in upholding the U.S. Constitution after one of the gang thugs that lives in his city kills a kid or two (or 50 or more). He revels in these deaths like some grim reaper […]

Liberals, who are always looking for any reason to grab people’s guns, have come up with a new idea. Here’s Gail Collins at the New York Times making the pitch: There seems to be a strong sentiment in Congress that the only constitutional right suspected terrorists have is the right to bear arms. “I think […]

 

Mayors Daley And Nutter Cross A Line

Despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, violence in Chicago has gotten so bad that some local politicians are calling for deployment of the National Guard.:  It’s bad enough when gun control advocates can’t recognize the failure of their own policies, but now Mayor Daley has taken the anti-Second Amendment […]

 

Arizona Does Away With Need For Concealed Carry Permits

Posted on by William Teach

What do you think of this idea? Starting later this summer, U.S. citizens 21 and older can begin carrying a concealed firearm without a permit in Arizona. Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1108 into law Friday afternoon. It eliminates the requirement for a concealed-carry weapons permit, but does require gun owners to accurately answer […]
