Gun Grabbers

Bad Laws, Bad Legislators, Bad Ideas (and the Gun Manufacturers that continue to look the other way)

12:10am Tuesday, August 11, 2009
By Jim Shepherd On Friday, it would be nice to be able to talk about the anticipation with which we all look toward the weekend. After all, it's the most continuous time many of us have to enjoy the outdoors. Some Fridays, unfortunately, that's just not possible. Yesterday, New Jersey became the fourth state to pass legislation limiting state residents to one handgun purchase every thirty days...

American gun control laws: A shoestring is a gun, but a revolver is not?

12:10am Tuesday, August 04, 2009
By Jeff Knox When a New York City police officer caught a .32 caliber slug in his ribs last week, Mayor Mike Bloomberg was quick to question how the career criminal and convicted felon was able to obtain the gun. I'm afraid that the question is going to lead to attempts at broader restrictions on more items in New York and elsewhere because it's possible that the gun involved in the shooting...

According to the anti-gun Senator, who has decided to retire after recognizing a 2010 re-election bid...

Editorial: Senate kills plan to enforce Second Amendment

12:05am Wednesday, July 29, 2009
Imagine you're visiting Idaho or Arizona. A cop pulls you over and asks to see your driver's license. Then, even though your license is current, he draws his sidearm, cuffs you, and hauls you off to the calaboose. Your crime? You were driving on a Nevada license; you neglected to get a new and separate driver's license, in advance, for each state you're planning to pass through. Ridiculous? Of...
