Hey Virginians, you reap what you vote

In the recent gubernatorial election in Virginia, Virginians went to the polls and elected vocal and non apologetic gun hater, Terry McAuliffe.  McAuliffe actually campaigned vocally for gun control in the old dominion and won. Now Virginians will have to live with that for the next four years. As if I couldn’t have predicted what that entails, here is the first taste; McAuliffe names Lori Haas to his transition team. Who is Lori Haas?  She is the Organizer for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.  One of the most rabid gun control organizations in America.  A gun control organization so out of the mainstream that President Obama doesn’t even include them in the weekly White House meetings he has. Officials from the White House Office of Public Engagement, which reports to senior Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, are now carrying the administration’s gun control efforts. OPE officials hold a regular...

When Shooting at a Minivan Full of Kids is Justified

I heard this story out of New Mexico where some cops are in hot water over shooting at a minivan with 5 children in it. At first, I thought this was going to be one of those situations where under-trained cops got trigger happy and recklessly put innocent lives in danger much like the New York City cops that shot up the street near the Empire State Building killing their target in a hail of ill aimed bullets that struck NINE innocent bystanders. Or some thug cop who felt that they needed to put someone in their place by shooting them like the Houston Texas cop who shot a double amputee at a care home who had waved a pen at him menacingly. I mention these to show that I am no thin blue line cheerleader and am willing to cast some light on those who would try to...

Is there anything the government can run better than the private sector…besides abject failure?

With the nigh unbelievable power grab the Federal Government is blundering their way through with regards to Obamacare and the dangers to liberty that the notion of forcing people to buy something simply for being alive entail, you would think SOMEONE would have figured out a better way. I’m not going to say that someone is me, but I did take a little looky loo around and have discovered plenty of ways to improve healthcare in America without gutting individual freedom and enacting a bloated bureacratic nightmare that allows the federal government metaphorically give you a colonoscopy. The following ideas are so simple that it boggles the mind that ELEVEN THOUSAND pages of regulations were needed for Obamacare. Here are five simple solutions to improve health care in America that would only require Americans to bend over for their proctologist: Insurance without borders.  Currently we have pigeon holed insurance companies...

Death of the Fourth Amendment means danger to the Second

You will often hear me voice my disdain for violations of the Fourth Amendment, freedom from unreasonable search and seizures, as I believe that it is second only to the Second Amendment with regards to importance rights enumerated by the Constitution.  While the other rights are important, the 4th is supposed to protect us from warrantless midnight raids of secret police and from our person being molested by thugs on fishing trips hiding behind badges. In a pair of disturbing violations of the Fourth Amendment, we can see the groundwork being laid to erase the Fourth from the law books and in doing so attack the 2nd Amendment directly. The first case involved scrap metal worker David Eckert who found himself in the wrong part of town in Deming, NM and as a result was repeatedly and forcibly raped over a twelve hour period by doctors who were being ordered...

Gonzaga moves to expel students who stopped felon from murdering them – despite living off campus

    From Patriot News Update: Two Gonzaga students are facing possible expulsion from the University after they pulled a weapon in self defense as a six time felon attempted to get into their on campus apartment. According to the student handbook, students may not possess handguns on campus or university owned property. On Friday a university discipline board decided to move forward with sanctions, including possible expulsion, for using the weapons. Read more at http://patriotoutdoornews.com/8065/gonzaga-students-face-possible-expulsion-pulling-gun-home-intruder#jkI6kdZg2vXVKkZ3.99 Let me first say that the two students, Erik Fagan and Dan McIntosh, in my mind did everything right. The University on the other hand is really crapping the bed on this matter. And you may be surprised to know that the reason I believe so isn’t for the reason you may think. An anti gun, private University has the right to ban guns from their campus and their property.  It’s an idiotic and dangerous...

The hypocrisy of gun controllers and the fallout

I just read an interesting article where political activist Adam Kokesh pled guilty to possessing a gun in DC. Adam Kokesh, the political activist who posted a video of himself pumping a shotgun near the White House, has pleaded guilty to weapons and drug charges. The 31-year-old Kokesh admitted in a D.C. Superior Court on Wednesday to charges of carrying a shotgun, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. He also pleaded guilty to a separate charge of possession of marijuana. U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen Jr. applauded the conviction, pointing out that law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect national government facilities, landmarks and public servants working in the city. “Their jobs are hard enough without irresponsible people intentionally coming into the District of Columbia to brandish a loaded shotgun in the heart of the nation’s capital,” Machen said in a release....
