Armed citizens a bulwark against state power. Liberals have declared war on gun rights. Following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School
in Newtown, Conn., gun-control zealots have seized on the murder of 20
children and 6 adults to push their longtime goal of rolling back the
Second Amendment. The bodies of the victims ... MOREJeffrey T. Kuhner: Why The Left Hates Guns
Armed citizens a bulwark against state power. Liberals have declared war on gun rights. Following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School
in Newtown, Conn., gun-control zealots have seized on the murder of 20
children and 6 adults to push their longtime goal of rolling back the
Second Amendment. The bodies of the victims ... MORESpeech Codes: Biggest Scandal On College Campuses Today
by Greg Lukianoff. Today’s conventional wisdom seems to be that university speech codes
banning “offensive” expression on campus are a distant relic of the
heyday of political correctness in the 1980s and 90s. But in truth,
speech codes—university policies prohibiting expression protected by the
First Amendment in society at large—are nearly ... MORE
Media Fabricates Test To Demonize Pot And Driving
by Michael Suede. Fox News Denver recently did a story on the effects of driving high on cannabis. In the process of doing the story, they had people drive a video game simulator to test the effects of impairment. However, Fox rigged the driving simulator to force crashes so they could bias the story against cannabis users. One of the test participants ... MOREObama Announces New Wave Of Proposed Regulations
by Dave Boyer. After taking criticism for missing an October deadline, the Obama administration Friday released its list of proposed government-wide regulations that it plans to consider in the next year. The administration put out its notice, called the unified regulatory agenda, online around 3 p.m. on the Friday before Christmas, after most ... MOREDouglas French: Down And Out In California
Golden State is fast losing its luster. Gas in Vegas is a dollar cheaper a gallon than in the Golden State, or so a friend and recent LA transplant tells me. He went on to say the top tax rate in California is over 13%, while, of course, Nevada has no state income tax. Over dinner at Del Frisco’s, he explained how industries are being ruined by ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: The Auto Bailout Failure Is Now Complete
Another big-time loser for taxpayers. You may recall that during the presidential election, the Treasury Department refused requests by General Motors to unload the government's stake in the giant automaker. Taxpayers had sunk $50 billion into a union bailout in 2009 and
were now proud owners of 26.5 percent of the struggling ... MORE
Steven Greenhut: California Lawmakers Target Gun Rights
An opportunity to tangle gun rights with red tape. It took only days before California’s lefty legislators reacted to the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy with a fusillade of bills designed to take California closer to Democratic leaders’ unstated but obvious goal: making it essentially illegal for citizens to own firearms in ...

Leonard Peikoff: Christmas Should Be More Commercial
Santa Claus is a thoroughly American invention. Christmas in America is an exuberant display of human ingenuity, capitalist productivity, and the enjoyment of life. Yet all of these are castigated as “materialistic”; the real meaning of the holiday, we are told, is assorted Nativity tales and altruist injunctions (e.g., love thy neighbor) ... MOREJoseph Shattan: Right Of Revolution?
Reflections on a senator and the 2nd Amendment. About 15 years ago, I served on the staff of a Senator who was an ardent opponent of gun control. Once I asked him why he was so adamantly opposed to any restrictions on gun sales, when even the police favored banning sales of certain kinds of assault weapons. The Senator dismissed these ... MORENRA Membership Has Increased Since Newtown Shootings
by Alexander Abad-Santos. You would think, after a 20-year-old with legal guns killed 20
first-graders in Newtown, Connecticut, that the National Rifle
Association wouldn't be doing too well — what with the initial outcry over its silence and the ensuing outcry over the gun lobby's brief statement late Tuesday. But you would be wrong. Fox News ... MORE
Obamas Cost America Far More Than Royals Cost Britain
Is it hate or envy toward the rich? US taxpayers spent a staggering $1.4 Billion (yes, with a B) on the Obamas according to author Robert Keith Gray in his new book Presidential Perks Gone Royal! Compare that to only $57.8 million the Brits shelled out for their royals and you have to ask what is going on with President Obama. Now word comes that he and ... MORE
Steve Chapman: Wrong Answers For Mass Shootings
Rounding up the usual suspects. The film "Casablanca" has many famous lines, but none more immortal than Capt. Renault's order after seeing a Nazi officer shot by Humphrey Bogart's character, Rick Blaine: "Round up the usual suspects." He issues that command to give the impression he's trying to solve the crime. In the aftermath of the Newtown massacre, the ... MORETSA-Style Gropings Coming Soon To Public Schools
Children to be treated like cattle. Anytime I hear leftists look for solutions I am skeptical. Speaking in Newtown, Connecticut, Obama stated with absolute resolution, "These tragedies must end, and to end them we must change." We have heard that word "change" before. We must change. OK. How exactly? A madman goes on a rampage and the ... MORE William N Grigg: Merely Being Arrested Can Ruin You Life
So why an epidemic of unnecessary arrests? “You never have a ‘right’ to resist arrest,” insists Des Moines-based attorney Harley Erbe (who is wrong, of course). There are two reasons why Mundanes must immediately submit to “commands” issued by the state’s costumed enforcers, Erbe explains: “First, officers’ safety is a paramount ... MOREWhat If Nothing Or Nobody Is To Blame For Adam Lanza?
by Ron Fournier. What if there is nobody or nothing to blame for Adam Lanza's heinous acts? Other than Lanza, of course. What if school security and the school psychiatrist kept an eye on Lanza since his freshman year? The Wall Street Journal has a compelling narrative about the red flags addressed. What if he had a form of autism that has little or no ... MOREBarry Farber: Every Gun Control Argument Is Nonsense
The answer is more bullets 'going the other way.' It’s likely you and I disagree over gun control a lot more than you think we do. This argument cuts a lot deeper than any “fiscal cliff,” Middle East, taxing the rich or any of the so-called hot controversies. I realized that in early January of 1959 in Havana, Cuba, which was lawless as of New ... MORE
