Growing Phenomenon Of Police Shooting Unarmed Citizens
by John W. Whitehead. Here’s a recipe for disaster: Take a young man (or woman), raise him on a diet of violence, hype him up on the power of the gun in his holster and the superiority of his uniform, render him woefully ignorant of how to handle a situation without resorting to violence, train him well in military tactics but allow him to be ... 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
Michelle Malkin: Government Is A Threat To Public Safety
Forget gun control. America needs government control. Have you noticed the common thread among several mass killings and homeland security incidents lately? Time and again, it's the control freaks in Washington who have fallen down on their jobs, allowing crazies, creeps and criminals to roam free and wreak havoc while ignoring ... MOREThe Police State Mindset In Our Public Schools
by John W. Whitehead. Once upon a time in America, parents breathed a sigh of relief when their kids went back to school after a summer’s hiatus, content in the knowledge that for a good portion of the day their kids would be gainfully occupied, out of harm’s way and out of trouble. Those were the good old days, before school shootings ... MORE
Brent Bozell: America, Forever Racist?
Racism has great utility for the left. The central criticism of the George Zimmerman trial is that there was one. It was simply impossible to convict him of anything beyond a reasonable doubt. The central criticism of the coverage of this trial was that there was any. How did this story merit consideration as national news? Why was the death of ... MORE
John C. Goodman: Guns, Bombs And Government
More hollow rhetoric from the ruling class. If you ever doubted the inability of the federal government to protect you from harm, events of the past few weeks should have been a clincher. While Congress was dithering about a background-check-for-gun-buyers bill, President Obama was out on the hustings — in full campaign mode — trying to gin up ... MOREThe Gun Rights Revolution You Might Have Missed
by Miranda Green. If you live in Arkansas, you can now carry a concealed gun into a bar, or a liquor store—or a church. College staffers can bring guns on campus. Folks with a permit from other states can pack heat in Arkansas without filing any paperwork. These are among the half-dozen legal changes in the state that passed only four months ... MOREJacob Sullum: Obama's Abuse Of Dead Children
The master opportunist strikes again. "This is about doing the right thing for all the families who
are here that have been torn apart by gun violence," President
Obama
declared on Monday, promoting his "common-sense gun safety
reforms" in a speech at the University of Hartford, where the
audience included parents of children who ... MORECal Thomas: Gun Laws And Human Nature
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. In 1983 when President Reagan ordered the deployment of missiles in Europe as part of his "peace through strength" strategy to counter the Soviet Union, the very liberal town of Takoma Park, Md., declared itself a "nuclear free zone." City officials passed an ordinance known as The Takoma Park Nuclear ... MOREStar Parker: Background Checks Won't Make Us Safer
Freedom isn't the problem, people are. In April of 2007, a mentally disturbed student showed up at the campus of his school, Virginia Tech, brandishing two semi-automatic pistols, and murdered 32 students, teachers and school employees and wounded 17 others. Then he took his own life. It was the one of deadliest mass shooting incidents in American . ... MOREShawn Mitchell: On Disarming American Women
Whistle while your raped. Freshman lawmaker Joe Salazar, (D. Thornton) became an embarrassing distraction for the liberal juggernaut in Colorado last week when he blurted out what he really thinks of the Second Amendment, the right of self defense, and the faculties of women in peril. Hint: His views are appalling. As backlash developed, Salazar ... MORELAPD Had "No Idea" Who They Were Shooting At
Overzealous cops in the Dorner pusuit. "It's 100 percent clear that they had no idea who was in that
vehicle and just lit it up," says attorney Christopher
Driscoll. Driscoll is representing Maggie Carranza, 47, and her mother,
71-year-old Emma Hernandez, the two women who were
shot on Thursday, Feb. 7 in Torrance, CA by LAPD officers. The
officers ... MORETim Kelly: Who Will Protect Us From Our Protectors
The crisis is the government power grab. It didn’t take long for the megalomaniacs and opportunists in Washington to exploit the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, as a pretext for another attempt to annul the Second Amendment and expand their power. Never one to let a good crisis go to waste, President Obama signed a series of executive ... MOREWilliam A. Levinson: Never Let A Dead Child Go To Waste
Let's act quick, before their heads clear. Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, and their cohorts followed Rahm Emanuel's advice to "never let a good crisis go to waste" when they used the Sandy Hook shooting to renew their assault on the Bill of Rights. Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell added, in effect, that ... MOREWashington State Prepares Gun Control Nullification Bill
by Mikael Thalen. As the call for more gun control continues, governors, lawmakers, sheriffs, and citizens across the country are taking a stand. After the tragic Sandy Hook
shooting, gun control advocates immediately jumped on the opportunity
to dust off old gun control legislation, specifically advocating for a
ban on "assault weapons." ... MOREHarry Biswanger: The Nature Of The Anti-Gun Campaign
A need to switch the national conversation. Whatever your views on whether or not there should be controls on guns, the anti-gun control movement needs discussion, because it is extreme. For instance, Monday morning on CNN, the news at 10a.m. ET opened with the issue of gun control and was of course unrelievedly slanted to the anti-gun ... MORE
