“If you don’t win, cheat”; that’s the Chicago way

From the city that gave us Barack Obama, Al Capone and the term “Chicago Politics” now gives us a mash up of all three in order to fight against the recent ruling recognizing Chicagoan’s right to keep and bear arms. The Chicago City council has taken it upon themselves to try and infringe and limit the newly recognized right within their city by any means necessary. By using coercion and threats the thugs of the City Council are forcing the owners of businesses that serve alcohol to place a sign in their window banning guns on the premises. That doesn’t mean just bars, anyplace that serves alcohol will be forced to acquiesce to the whims of the City Council. This includes restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs, sporting venues, carnivals and festivals etc. Though liquor and grocery stores are exempt. The stance on this matter is reminiscent of a scene in...

Only in California: Private party gun transfers illegal while backalley abortions just signed into law

I really wonder about California sometimes. The militant liberal left, the one that welcomes all voices so long as they agree with them, the one that is the most vicious and violent to those who disagree with them, the one who unabashedly infringe on everyone’s rights except those that narrowly fit into their ideology, has done it again. Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 154 on Wednesday allowing for non-physicians to perform abortions. It would be one thing if that meant only handing out medication like the day after pill but the bill actually allows for non-physicians to perform invasive medical procedures in order to kill the unborn child. Now, I have the knowledge and the steady hand to remove a person’s appendix but I doubt my zero years in medical school would cause a lineup of people at my door looking for appendectomies. I don’t care what your stance...

If Gun Controllers Read The Other Amendments Like They Do The 2nd

Gun control zealots love to get hooked on the semantics of the 2nd Amendment. Due to the forefathers elegant writing that is more verse than prose, gun control zealots have harped on misinterpreted syntaxes of the 2nd Amendment for years. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed The gun controllers like to say that since there isn’t an “and” between State and the right of the people that somehow invalidates the intent of founders. The intent being found in the other writings of the time. George Mason: “I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Sam Adams: “And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the...

The Government is “shutdown”…what about NICS?

I read a funny tweet today, day one of the government shutdown. https://twitter.com/PoliticalLaughs/status/385050028324044800 While that seems oddly accurate there are things that regular people may require of the government. For instance, the NICS background check system. Will this be operational while the government is “shutdown”? I put shutdown in quotes because of all the people who get furloughed, guess who STILL gets paid…yep…CONGRESS and the President. But I digress, will American citizens be allowed to purchase firearms that require a NICS check or has the government once again finagled their way into infringing the rights of law abiding citizens? The answer is rather simple. The Federal Bureau of Investigation runs the NICS system out of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Oh yeah, the FBI is still funded during the “shutdown”. And as the FBI notes on their own website, “NICS is available 17...

THIS is how the Federal Government will get a National Gun Registry

With steady wins and progress, the 2nd Amendment has been sludging through the mire of gun control muck to strengthen itself in most states. On the federal level, Obama and his gun control cadre do not have the juice to push for hard, gun rights-infringing legislation. So they have decided to attack privacy in more general terms, so they can worm their way into achieving one of their biggest goals and one of the most dire threats to the 2nd Amendment; a National Gun Registry. But as I said, the 2nd Amendment pro gun movement has been kicking ass and taking names lately so how exactly is Obama and his gun grabbing groupies planning on doing this? Well, they certainly aren’t going to say the word “Gun” or “Registry”. They are going to say “Credit Card”. Ever hear of the Consumer Financial Protection Board? Sounds like a innocuous and...
