Gun Tattoo Attracts Cops With Assault Weapons
Ink can be so threatening. Michael Smith went outside shirtless after being awakened Tuesday morning, yelling at a tree removal company to get off his property. The workers thought they saw a gun in his waistband and called police. Smith, who’d gone back to bed, was awakened again minutes later — this time by Maine State Police ... MOREMark Meckler: Connecticut Gun Owners Deliver A Message
Registration? Hell no! Did you know that quietly--very quietly thanks to a biased media--tens of thousands of American citizens delivered a message about the limits of government? Did you know that citizens of one state engaged in a mass act of civil disobedience that has left statist officials from both parties scratching their heads as an ... MORE10 Prison Security Techniques Being Used On The People
Marlon Brock on America's police state. Americans are not typically aware of how their federal and state prison systems work. What we think we know, we learned from watching television. When I took my first walk through at FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) El Reno Oklahoma as a new employee, I was surprised at how non- ... MORE
Jim Guy: ‘Microstamping’ Battle Heads To California Court
An effort to ban semi-automatic handguns. Fresno County Superior Court will once again be the battleground between pro-gun rights forces and the California Attorney General’s Office. Opponents say the new technology that the law attempts to put in place — microstamping — is unproven and unworkable. They believe the legislation is ... MOREMurder Rate Nearly Cut In Half As Gun Ownership Soared
by Awr Hawkins. A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report shows that while gun ownership climbed from 192 million firearms in 1994 to 310 million firearms in 2009, crime fell—and fell sharply. According to the report,
the "firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide" rate was 6.6

3D-Print Your Own Real Gun At Home (See Video)
Gun control, you have to one before you can control it. The Washington Post has an interesting video and story up about how it is now possible to print a useable gun on a 3D printer. The technology is still in its infancy – as one of the videos below shows, the guns don’t always work long – but they’re getting there. And they permit people to ... MOREMilitarizing Local Police Forces Should Raise Concerns
The police seem to be gearing up for war. From war zones to city streets, some military vehicles are getting a new life -- and not everyone is happy about the recycling. The Defense Department recently announced it would be giving domestic law enforcement forces hulking vehicles designed ... MORE Related: SWAT Vehicle Runs Over CitizenJohn W. Whitehead: Coming To A Police Dept Near You
Drones, tanks and grenade launchers. Why does a police department which hasn’t had an officer killed in the
line of duty in over 125 years in a town of less than 20,000 people need
tactical military vests like those used by soldiers in Afghanistan?
For that matter, why does a police department in a city of 35,000
people need a military- ... MOREPolice Shoot Handcuffed 14-Year-Old In Face With Taser

The founders warned us against a standing army. It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly is responsible for the growing spate of police shootings, brutality and overreach that have come to dominate the news lately, whether it’s due to militarized police, the growing presence of military veterans in law enforcement, the fact that we are a ...

Walter E Williams: Are Guns The Problem?
Examining the inconvenient truth of the matter. Every time there's a shooting tragedy, there are more calls for gun
control. Let's examine a few historical facts. By 1910, the National
Rifle Association had succeeded in establishing 73 NRA-affiliated
high-school rifle clubs. The 1911 second edition of the Boy Scout
Handbook made ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: War, War, What Is It Good For?
All about the bragging rights. President Obama's request for express congressional authorization for a limited aerial invasion of Syria raises profound legal and constitutional questions. For starters, there is simply no legal basis in international law to support an American invasion of Syria. Yet, notwithstanding that, federal law permits ... MOREDid The White House Help Plan Syrian Chemical Attack?
by Yossef Bodansky. There is a growing volume of new evidence from numerous sources in the Middle East — mostly affiliated with the Syrian opposition and its sponsors and supporters — which makes a very strong case, based on solid circumstantial evidence, that the August 21, 2013, chemical strike in the Damascus suburbs was indeed a ... MOREHarvard Study: Gun Control Does Not Decrease Violence
by Josh Furlong. Following the tragedies in Aurora, Colo. and Newtown, Conn. last year, the national rhetoric revolved around controlling the types of firearms Americans should be legally allowed to own. But a recently highlighted study shows that controlling firearms is actually counterproductive. In a study published by Harvard ... MOREPeter Suderman: 8 Reasons Not To Go To War In Syria
Is the U.S. on the march to war
in Syria? Over the past week, the stage has been set for yet
another military intervention in the Middle East. Calls for U.S.
action in Syria have grown louder following reports of a chemical
weapon attack in Damascus said to have been carried out with the
knowledge and approval of President Bassar al-Assad’s ... MORE
