Do I have any lawyer friends who are up for a *real* challenge? 🙂 In the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court case, “Arizona v. the United States,” SCOTUS ruled that Arizona could not enact its own immigration law, because Federal immigration law existed. Therefore, the existence of the National Firearms Act (not to mention the Second …

A Thought as Orwell Spins…
The political party currently telling you that the police are racist brutes who cannot be trusted, is the same political party which says that you should forfeit your Constitutionally-affirmed right to self-defense, because police are the only ones which should be trusted with guns.
Conversations with Gun-Control Lunatics
Paraphrased for brevity and clarity: —– Me: Not that human rights should ever be negotiable, but if gun-control were really effective at saving lives, why is the murder rate so high in Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun control in the nation? Her: The crime in Chicago is high because of guns brought …
TAK3N
You know, say what you will about Liam Neeson being a fascist, gun-grabbing lunatic. Or a totally hypocritical jackass in his uber-violent criminal movies. But at least he’s trying to make physics popular! I’m not sure what constant temperature (T) x The Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (A) x the equilibrium constant (K) x (3N) has to do …

Another upcoming topic will be an analysis of (or probably, rebuttal to) Wodarz and Komarova’s “Dependence of the Firearm-Related Homicide Rate …
Take My Rights, Please!
Wendy Button has written an op-ed piece for the New York Times asking the Federal Government to repeal the Second Amendment. Because like, one time, she was totally in danger, but, like, the police saved her, and she totally suffers from depression, so if she had a gun, she’d kill herself. And, like, lots of …
Executive Fiat
Well, I’ve been away for a little bit; mostly with training, some with illness. The big news right now is the battle which I hope is shaping up between Congress and the President, as President Obama issues executive order after executive order regarding victim disarmement. Several sheriffs have already posted on Facebook that no such …
Victim Disarmament Legislation Being Introduced
Senator Feinstein is slated to introduce new victim disarmament legislation today, and we all know that the President is keen to sign as much of it as he can. This would be a great time to start contacting your Congressmen and letting reminding them that their job is to protect your rights. The Congressional Switchboard …

Moving Targets
In a Twitter conversation last night, I was directed to a pro-victim-disarmament “study by Harvard University”. The link I was to follow never opened, but I did find their most recent study on my own (and I certainly agree with the author’s conclusions). On the contrary, the Harvard Injury Control Research Center has collected abstracts …
