Last week, in a video that has gone viral, Judge Jeanine Pirro let loose on the vile mother of the Boston jihadi brothers.
This week, at the NRA convention, the Judge is just as effective as she trashes arrogant, condescending, leftist politicians who want to disarm (for example) single mothers with small children who live in high-crime areas. These are the same politicians who have themselves cultivated those high-crime areas through lax pursuit and prosecution for murders committed with ille...
STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX (April 30, 2013) – Late last night, Governor Jan Brewer provided advocates of responsible governance and Second Amendment rights with reason to celebrate. HB2455 (unclaimed property; firearms; disposition), sponsored by State Representative Brenda Barton (R-Dist. 6), was signed into law.
The bill requires state and municipal agencies to sell unclaimed or forfeited firearms. Once it takes affect, the legislation will preserve...

Is Hoplophobia Real?
Abstract: Hoplophobia, the morbid fear of guns, is a real, extremely dangerous, widespread and clinically recognizable complex specific phobia with a number of unique characteristics, described. It has caused and continues to cause grievous harm in America. Dr. Sarah Thompson, M.D., author of two seminal papers on gun phobia, claims hoplophobia is little more than name cal...
In March, PoliceOne conducted “the most comprehensive survey ever of American law enforcement officers’ opinions” on the subject of gun control, and the results are stunning. Simply put, law enforcement officers are overwhelmingly of the belief that more gun laws will not help reduce crime, and than guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens will.
This was no small survey, either. Over 15,000 “verified law enforcement professionals” took part, and there were 28 question...
At least according to Arizona’s Republican legislators and Governor Jan Brewer.
It works this way: If you have guns you can no longer provide a loving home for and sell them to a cooperating law enforcement agency that agency must re-assign them to a good home. What cannot happen (Oh, the horror!) is that they be destroyed.
Nothing, if not consistent, this is the extension of the conservative position on another right to life issue.Will NRA legislators now introduce legislation to make it il...
America is in a gunfight. The bad guy government wants to disarm the good guy citizens. The battle: tyranny versus freedom. The Obama government has started the bleeding-out of Constitutional rights and protections for all citizens through its ramped-up attacks and erosions of Constitutional amendments. On patrol at the Constitution’s perimeter are leaders like Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, among others, who refuse to back down and bow to totalitarianism.
State retains power to own all especially deadly guns Forces federal agents to either violate state law or deny civil rights Effectively immediately That’s not the way networks covered it, is it, but it’s the identical story
Can you imagine what a tough uphill struggle the anti-gun-rights people would have if the “news” media wasn’t falling all over itself to support the anti-rights side?
Urges Committee Chairman to Hold Hearing On Resolution of No Confidence in Attorney General Holder for his Role in Fast and Furious
WASHINGTON, D.C. -U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) sent a letter to the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee requesting a hearing on his Resolution of No Confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder. As the Obama Administration pushes Congress to pass legislation which would create additional barriers for Americans to lawfully exercise their...
Senate Democrats & Republicans reached an agreement today on terms of a new law requiring the registration of all women’s stiletto-heel shoes. After months of wrangling over details including the length of the heel, and its material composition, leaders of the upper chamber announced this morning they had arrived at a bill both sides felt could muster the necessary 60 votes to end debate and pass to a floor vote. A major obstacle was overcome when the Republican committee members finally...
This is one of the more cogent videos on the subject of so-called “assault weapons.” It also happens to be just plain funny. The Ice-T, west coast-east coast thing; the armed lawn gnome; the Henry Waxman crack . . . good times!
It’s only reasonable, and studies show the overwhelming majority of Americans support universal background checks. We’re not talking about registering guns.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that . . .
How soon we forget. When the NICS computer was built and turned on by attorney general Janet Reno, in compliance with the Brady bill in 1994, she announced that the system not only would not erase records immediately after a gun-bu...
The essence of a lot of humor is simply this: taking things that people know to be true and talking about them out loud. Sometimes called “observational humor,” this technique has been used by such disparate voices as Andy Rooney and Jerry Seinfeld. People keep using it because it works.
Or, as Fat Tony said, “It’s funny ’cause it’s true.”
You might even say that insanity is a growth industry. For example, the liberals are tripping all over themselves to pass new gun control legislation. To prove how sincere they are, they have put Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein in charge. Joe Biden is so dumb that schools have renamed dunce caps in his honor, and Feinstein is such a political hack that even after swearing to get to the bottom of the national security leaks to the NY Times, once she realized the footprints led back to the Ov...
What is more important right now? Whether we ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, make universal background checks the law, eliminate straw purchases, concentrate on improving investigations into and sharing of mental health data, create a registry of firearms or other gun control legislation being proposed, there is an even more pressing problem to be reckoned with. It is what do we do with about 8 million cowboys and cowgirls walking around American streets with either ...
Alan Singer is a social studies educator at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York and the editor of Social Science Docket (a joint publication of the New York and New Jersey Councils for Social Studies). Apparently he has done his homework on the 2ndAmendment in research for an article in the Huff Post titled, “Does the U.S. Constitution Prevent Gun Control?” The answer to this question is a resounding “Yes” if asked of the gun nuts and their head fanatic Wayne LaPierre...
