CNN, President Obama and many others don't know. Last week Sen. Dianne Feinstein
introduced a new, supposedly improved version of the federal
"assault weapon" ban that expired in 2004. But like that earlier
law, which the California Democrat also sponsored, Feinstein's
bill prohibits the manufacture and sale of guns based on
characteristics that ... MOREJacob Sullum: What's An Assault Weapon?

The continuing saga of hope and change. Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — decreased at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 (that is, from the third quarter to the fourth quarter), according to the “advance” estimate ...

Dustin Hurst: Bipartisan Opposition To Domestic Drones
Parties join forces to curtail surveillance society. Drones are wildly popular on the battlefield. Now they can claim victory elsewhere. The use of drones within U.S. borders—in car chases, to monitor wildfires, or for simple surveillance—is uniting political parties and people more often at odds. Their concern: the widespread use of drones ... MOREThomas Sowell: Whose Welfare?
Theories about culture trump welfare of humans. If there is ever a contest for the law with the most grossly misleading title, the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 should be a prime candidate, because the last thing this Act protects is the welfare of Indian children. The theory behind the Indian Child Welfare Act is that an American Indian ... 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 ... MOREA Former Drug Czar Advisor Compares Pot To Child Porn
by Matthew Feeney. If you thought former drug czar
advisor Paul Chabot couldn’t top his claim that alcohol prohibition
“actually
worked” you would be wrong. Chabot recently appeared on
HuffPost Live and compared marijuana to child pornography. From the
Huffington Post: When asked by HuffPost Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim ... MOREThomas Sowell: Shouting Louder
Volume is a poor substitute for substance. An old-time trial lawyer once said, "When your case is weak, shout louder!" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shouted louder when asked about the Obama administration's story last fall that the September 11th attack on the U.S. ambassador's quarters in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islamic video ... MOREVIDEO: You Have A Duty To Protect Yourself
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke knows the value of gun rights.
Charles W. Baird: On Paying Our "Fair Share"
Marketing legalized theft. President Obama often asserts that fairness requires everyone "to play by the same rules." He then calls for raising tax rates paid by "millionaires and billionaires," but no one else. Well, Mr. President, you cannot have it both ways. Logically, if we are to enjoy what the Constitution calls "equal protection of the law," ... MORE
