Missouri Senate Passes Gun Law Nullification Bill
Tossing stones against the empire. An effort to nullify federal gun control laws and jail any federal agents trying to enforce them cleared the Missouri Senate yesterday, but a court challenge and another potential veto by Gov. Jay Nixon could ultimately block the legislation even if the House approves it again. Although state efforts to ... MOREIt's Not A Right If Only The Sheriff's Pals Get To Hold Guns
by Steven Greenhut. A “right” is an “entitlement” that’s not dependent on the whims of authorities. If you have a right to “free speech,” then you can speak as you choose. The courts let the government enforce a few standards, but it wouldn’t be a “right” if government officials got to preview and restrict what you were ... MOREPaul Elias: California's Concealed Weapons Rules Tossed
Local government nannies don't trump 2nd Amendment. A divided federal appeals court on Thursday struck down California concealed-weapons rules, saying they violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The 2-1 ruling of a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said California counties were wrong to ... MORE
Medical Marijuana Users Must Give Up Gun Rights In Illinois
by Christina Sarich. The perils of politically incorrect medicine. Illinois is allowing patients with over 41 medical conditions, including cancer and AIDS to legally smoke pot, but a new plan proposed by state officials Tuesday will require them to give up their Second Amendment rights – the right to own a gun. They will also be ... MOREUsing Pot Legalization To Strip Citizens Of Gun Rights
L.J. Devon on a new anti-gun brainstorm. Lawmakers from the state of Illinois have proposed new medical marijuana rules that coerce patients to surrender their Second Amendment right in the application process. The new medical marijuana "legalization" bill requires Illinois citizens to undergo a background check, be fingerprinted and ... MOREThe Three Most Important Ongoing 2nd Amendment Cases
by Brian Doherty. Since the 2010 Supreme Court case McDonald
v. Chicago, which applied the ruling
in the
2008 Heller case (which said the Second Amendment
guarantees an individual right to bear arms) to states and
localities, the
Court has so far evaded any new case about the limits and
meaning of the Second Amendment. Those two cases, ... MORESteve Chapman: Nullification Makes A Comeback
The 21st century is the golden age of gun rights. All 50 states allow the carrying of concealed weapons. The once-toothless Second Amendment finally has real potency. Even after the Newtown massacre, Congress rejected new restrictions on firearms. Monday's Washington Navy Yard shooting is not likely to change that. ... MORE
15 Stupid Things Liberals Call Racism Since Obama Elected
by John Hawkins. Bizarrely, racism in America is no longer mainly about race. Sure, race is involved in a peripheral manner, but racism has mainly become an excuse, a dodge, a way to escape responsibility. When a black liberal is criticized, he cries racism. When liberalism fails, liberals cry racism. When the Democrat Party gets in trouble, liberals ... MORE
Bob Barr: The U.N. Comes After America's Guns
A gun control treaty to destroy the 2nd Amendment. The true scope of the anti-firearm crusade of the United Nations, which began more than a dozen years ago, finally is coming into clear focus, as the White House readies to sign the Arms Trade Treaty adopted with U.S. support this past April by the U.N. General Assembly. The reach ... MOREJonathon Moseley: Right Of Self-Defense 1, Obama 0
Creepy crackers are not the problem. Destroying the Second Amendment and the people's right of self-defense was the real goal of the George Zimmerman prosecution. Liberals hoped to scare gun owners, regardless of the eventual verdict. Traumatizing and intimidating people from using a firearm to defend themselves were what this case ... MOREEmily Miller: Using Taxes To Threaten 2nd Amendment
Making self-protection unaffordable. Liberals are trying every tool at their disposal this year to go after guns. They have failed on Capitol Hill to restrict the Second Amendment, so they are moving through the states to enact their agenda. The latest maneuver is to hike the tax on guns and ammunition to dissuade the law-abiding ... MORE
Katie Kieffer: The Two Most Beautiful Women
Beauty for the ages. Two women are tied for the title of Most Beautiful Woman in America. Veritable goddesses, they show no trace of vanity. Their beauty is a gift to America and they deserve our attention. Unlike Victoria’s Secret Angels, these two women are ageless; their attractiveness becomes more apparent with time. They echo ... MOREThe NRA, The NSA And The Politics Of Individualism
A reactive rise in civil libertarians. Much of the right-wing resistance to the post-Newtown gun control push was animated, not by gun owners’ commitment to hunting or personal defense, but by the idea that an armed society is a fundamental safeguard against government tyranny. For example, in a hearing on gun control, NRA leader ... MOREBarry Friedman: Guns, Pot And States Rights
Regulation is not prohibition. Kansas recently adopted a so-called "Second Amendment Protection Act." The law provides that Kansans can ignore any federal law that attempts to regulate guns in Kansas if the guns in question were made in Kansas and stay there. It would apply, for example, to a federal ban on assault weapons. Yet more ... MOREThe Boston Mindset: Cringe Like Sheep
A reality check from William A. Levinson. Colonel Jeff Cooper's To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth describes exactly what is wrong with the United States today. Cooper wrote of the society in which he grew up during the 1930s. Boys were taught to shoot and use their hands, and girls were taught to expect that in their men. ... MOREMissouri Gun Control Nullification Bill Passes
Will not allow feds to run roughshod over Constitution. As gun control legislation stalls in Washington DC, Missouri is taking matters into its own hands. Known as the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” House Bill 436 passed
the Missouri House of Representatives 117-43. If the bill becomes state
law, it will nullify new federal gun laws. It would prohibit ... MOREWashington Times: A Good Day For The 2nd Amendment
Common sense prevails in Senate! The president raged. The mayor of New York frothed. Joe Biden cried. But at the end of the day, common sense prevailed. The Senate killed the effort to unreasonably expand background checks for buyers of guns. The measure is not quite graveyard dead; it can be brought up again, but prospects for ... MOREDana Loesch: When Tryanny Masquerades As Stupidity
The belief that criminals will abide gun laws. When Democrats passed the assault weapons ban in 1994 it didn’t
prevent further gun-related crime or stop the Columbine massacre.
Connecticut’s own assault weapons ban did nothing to prevent Adam Lanza from committing theft (another crime) to illegally
posses a gun that he used illegally. The small ... MORE
