The Ammo Drought

By Jeff Knox Where has all the ammo gone? That's a common refrain these days and not just in a few places, but all across the country. The answer is simple and complicated, but it's not part of a nefarious plot hatched up by Washington politicians. Ammo supplies got thrown out of kilter as a result of military action in Iraq and Afghanistan and several former Warsaw Pact nations transitioning to...

Bizarre indeed: Rush Limbaugh's unholy alliance with animal 'rights' extremists

By Rob Sexton Longtime readers of Superman comics will recall "Bizarro World", a place where right is wrong, up is down, and everything is basically the opposite of the way things normally occur. Seinfeld fans will recall an entire episode devoted to Bizarro World. It seems like sportsmen are living in Bizarro World, given the unholy alliance between the nation's top animal rights group and...

Obama's National Park Service bureaucrats won't defend visitors' civil rights

Amend Constitution by Statute, Using EPA Laws By Dave Kopel "The National Parks Service has announced it will not challenge a court order that temporarily stops the late-term Bush administration policy of allowing CCW-permit holders to carry in National Parks."

Why can't students say 'guns' in school?

By Glenn Garvin Media snicker of the day: those crazy gun nuts, worried that the government is out to snatch their constitutional rights along with their AK-47s. 60 Minutes is the latest to have a chuckle, playing a commercial for a Washington, D.C.-area firearms show that that urges viewers to "Celebrate the Second Amendment and get your guns while you still can!" My own hunch is that the sheer...

The Uninvited Ombudsman Report, No. 63 - International Gun Treaty Sidesteps Congress

Taken from the most recent "Page Nine" Alan Korwin's "The Uninvited Ombudsman Report" ---------- STARTERS: In a stunningly clever move, president Barack Obama, speaking from Mexico, announced support for an international firearms treaty that could have far-reaching effects on U.S. gun ownership -- without needing to pass legislation and deal with normal congressional representation . See item #1...

And They Call Us Paranoid: Obama administration labels millions upon millions of Americans as 'rightwing extremists'

President Obama's Secretary of Education rounds out anti-gun cabinet

With President Barack Obama's Cabinet reading like a "who's who" of gun-ban advocates, it's difficult to say which member is the most anti-gun. That is, until you meet Arne Duncan. By Dave Kopel Who is the most extreme anti-gun member of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet?
