Penn Jillette gets it, we don't know

2011-08-18T07:00:00.000-05:00

Penn Jillette recently wrote an op-ed piece for CNN.com Among the questions asked was how we can help everyone. His answer was a simple "I don't know." How do you assist every single individual, regardless whether or not they want that help? I don't know. When I posted the link to a friend's Facebook page, another commenter had this to say about Penn Jillette's answer; Being

So it seems that a Chicago street thug choir boy was a teensy bit pissed that his mama got hauled away for having guns in the house. Flamo’s not happy. Standing on the porch of his Englewood home, chilly winter air streaming in through an open front door, the furious and pistol-packing ex-con (by his own admission he’s spent nearly half his 32 years in prison) is vowing revenge. Now how is

Collectivist in training "feels" that guns on college campus' are a bad thing, mmm'kay?

2011-08-11T07:00:00.000-05:00

So Jess Coleman, a 17 year old statist publishes a piece that attackes the notion that guns on college campuses would be a good thing. His reasoning is thus; The argument that guns act as a deterrent is absurd. As Wentworth mentioned, the killer at Virginia Tech was a “deranged, suicidal madman.” That kind of person will surely not be scared of students with guns, especially considering he

Weerd gave a short movie review of a number of movies. Among them was "Love the Beast" a film by Eric Bana. In it, he chronicles his many year love affair with a Ford Falcon XB Coupe.

And this means that Illinois is the only state without such a law. In Illinois, our Chicago aldermen can carry guns in their purses and even in ankle holsters, and criminals obviously carry guns, since breaking the law is what they do. I laughed,

And while constitutional carry would be sweet, I doubt it will happen. For such an occurence would be unprecedented. Wisconsin is known as a progressive state, just not in that way. In the law enforcement community, there are those who oppose

Fon Du Lac WI police chief Tony Barthuly has this to say about concealed carry coming to Wisconsin; "I have mixed emotions about it (concealed carry). I am an avid hunter myself. The gun is just the delivery system to injure or kill someone. It still takes someone behind that tool to cause the act," Barthuly said. "That's why the licensing is so important. If there can be a mechanism by law

When talking about gun control, the proponents of such will almost always use hyperbole to advance their agenda. When Josh Sugarmann coined the term "Assault Weapon" to use in pushing for the AWB of 1994, it was based on cosmetic appearances alone. Not a single mechanical function of one of these rifles helped to lump them into this arbitrary set. For years now, journalists keep blathering on

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Sunday that a citizen protecting his home or hunting doesn't need a gun with 33 bullets per clip. "I think the nation's spirits would be lifted if the Congress acted quickly with the president and reinstated the assault weapons ban which also had the ban on these large magazines, these clips that carried 30-plus bullets," he said Heh, I think the nation's spirits

Say what? Isn't this piece of federal regulation supposed to catch the very thing that happened in regards to Jared Loughner in Arizona? It seems that Jared Lee Loughner lied on his 4473, the paperwork that EVERY SINGLE PERSON MUST FILL OUT WHEN PURCHASING A NEW GUN THROUGH A LICENSED DEALER. And now, that bastion of state nannyism, Chuck Schumer is wishing to add more regulation. We keep

Using the Second Amendment as a remedy for a redress of grievances IS NOT, SHOULD NOT, CAN NOT be the first option chosen when you have a serious disagreement with a politician's views.
