Pajamas Media » Violence Policy Center: Reinstate the Black Codes?
For blacks, like all victims of homicide, guns — usually handguns — are far and away the number one murder tool. Successful efforts to reduce America’s black homicide toll must put a focus on reducing access to firearms.

For an organization to make […]

Sunday Open Thread: January 24th, 2010 « HillBuzz
I’m not a big fan of the Clintons, but I support these guys in their struggles against the Obama Chicago Way thugs one hundred percent.
Too bad they live in a rogue city that ignores the Second Amendment. Otherwise they might be able to defend themselves personally with […]

High court shows it might be willing to act boldly
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and his conservative colleagues delivered a seismic jolt Thursday. They overturned two of the court’s past decisions — including one made as recently as six years ago — to upend federal legislation that says corporations may not use their profits […]

Passing D.C.’s Rules to Get a Gun Was Hard, but the Weapon Posed Its Own Test
I’ve been surrounded my whole life by people who see guns as a cause of social ill, not a cure. But what if they’re wrong? I live in a dangerous part of a dangerous city. I’ve heard gunshots from my […]

A rather cold realization dawns for The Waiter.
The writing may seem a trifle over-dramatic to some - but the hard, cold face of deadly self-defense (or, possibly, defense of others) carries sufficient drama for many.
When I visualized that someone was trying to kill me it was so anathema to my being that when I started […]

Sharp as a Marble - An affordable 50?
I’d love to have a 50BMG, more as just something to have and maybe take out once or twice a year. There’s not a lot of places around me locally that would be long enough to really enjoy the 50, but there are a few that a little […]

Cold Fury » Behead all those who say Islam is violent
We’ll all need “safe rooms” to protect ourselves from these baying, bloodthirsty jackals and their Crusade against civilization before it’s over. Because if our hopes depend on gutless-pussy “leaders” like Barky Hussein Obumbler (Piss Be Upon Him), we’ll be waiting a loooong time for any […]

Laboratories of Repression - Reason Magazine
Which brings us back to the Chicago gun case. The Windy City would like to “serve as a laboratory” with the “flexibility” to ignore the Second Amendment. But there’s nothing “novel” about that. It’s just another case of the government violating our rights. And since the Supreme Court would never […]

SayUncle » More tactical 22s
I’m not sure exactly what a “tactical” .22 rifle is useful for, beyond the normal uses for a .22. Although one commenter does find a use I wholly approve of: He’s giving one to his eight and a half year old nephew.

Does the Second Amendment Apply in Chicago? - Reason Magazine
For its part, Chicago currently maintains that the Second Amendment should have zero authority over its gun control regime, arguing that the city should enjoy “the greatest flexibility to create and enforce firearms policy” and that “Firearms regulation is a quintessential issue on which state and […]

Liberty and Self Defense
Welcome to the family!
The title isn’t snark, by the way. If you have only one carry gun, it’s a good idea to make as sure as you can that what you hit goes down. A .45 is undisputed at possessing this capability.
Look into the Glock 30 if you want a […]

I just bought a ticket for the Crossroads of the West gun show this weekend at the SF Cow Palace.
I’ve never been to a gun show before.
What should I expect?
Anything special I should look for?
What sort of bargains might I hope to find?

Clayton Cramer’s BLOG
In some ideal America, my research experience and effective scholarship for gun rights would be of some economic value to someone. If there were a national organization committed to gun rights, they could hire me, even at a very, very tiny salary (as long as there was health insurance), to do the type […]

NRA-ILA :: Congress Passes NRA-Backed Legislation Protecting Pocketknife Classification
Back in June, we reported on a proposed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rule change that would have expanded the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 to include spring-assisted or one-handed-opening knives, and would have directly targeted the importation of “assisted opening” folding knives.

So I guess the writer, Kathy O. Marvin, thinks that a right to bear arms is “overstepped” if you actually, you know, bear arms. And if you do exercise that right, you are sinister and threatening.
And, yes Kathy, if you carry a gun, you signify that you are willing to […]
