Who Was That Now?

By all means, let's hold that bastion of freedom, China, up as an example of good gun policy...air gun policy anyway. <eyeroll></sarcasm>

Guns Are Bad, Except When They're Not

Don't you hate it when you try your hardest, but things just don't turn out the way you expect? Seems like that goes for big thinkers, too. The Violence Prevention Research Program at the UC Davis School of Medicine and the Center for Gun Policy and Research at the Johns Hopkins University got together to do a study that ended up showing that strict California gun laws, comprehensive background checks, etc., had no effect on homicide rates there. Turns out, good people who follow those laws aren't the problem. Go figure.

Where'd I go?

Where, exactly, did I run off to? Well, I got lazy. Then my laptop went hazy and I moved over to a tablet. Typing on one of those things is a pain in the hindquarters. Seriously, the only thing worse is hacking out a large amount of copy on a phone. Thank the Lord for Android and swipe keyboards in a pinch. Thankfully, I have now gone back to something with a real keyboard.

Anyway, then I figured that we were on the backside of the Obama administration and it seemed like things were going well for people who were fans of guns. I mean, outside of that administration trying its darnedest to strip us of our rights. There were a bunch of people standing on the front line making sure that we didn't give an inch.

So, I relaxed, rolled over and joined the ranks of the sleeping. But, now, I see things changing again and I feel like I need to step up. Even if only a dozen people are reading this (maybe that's wishful thinking) I need an outlet to get my gun-guy thoughts organized.

Top it all off with the fact that I don't like the idea of a known gun grabber being lined up to be Speaker of the House again. I'm picking up the cause once more and planning to start dropping info and pointing out all the ugly I see.

Join me, won't you?

Welcome to MRAP University

Gary Lewis, a senior director of media relations at OSU, told The Daily Caller via email that the “unique, special-purpose vehicle is a replacement” for the “police fleet.” He called the armored jalopy “an all-hazard, all-purpose, public safety-response vehicle” with “obviously enhanced capabilities.”

Politicians Put On Notice

Recalled. Start passing ridiculous laws and it could some negative political outcome, just ask some lawmakers in Colorado.

The issue came to a head in Colorado after gun-rights activists accused Democrats of ramming through the gun control legislation in the aftermath of a series of shootings which included the killing of 12 people in a suburban Denver movie theatre last year.<br>Angered by the gun control push, gun rights advocates had sought the recall to send a message to current and future legislators that the bills had gone too far with efforts to curb firearm access. Opponents viewed the recall effort as a bullying tactic and not the proper way to handle a policy dispute.

It's a bullying tactic? I'm sorry, but when it comes to politics a recall is the best non-violent way to force politicians to listen to their constituency. Funny that it turns out the people with the guns chose the polite way to get their point across. Recalls can work both ways. Unfortunately when one elects to come down on the side of gun control they have chosen a highly emotional topic and should expect fierce opposition. They should know they will face tough opposition because the fighting spirit still exists in a large portion of Americans. I foresee more of this in the next few years.

When Your Foreign Policy Isn't Working Out

Let's say that your grand idea to drop some bombs in Syria aren't being received well. What should you do? You should just go and bomb someone else. Pakistan is always up for a little thrill. But have your mouthpiece go around saying it could all come to and end soon.

“The program will end as we have eliminated most of the threat and continue to eliminate it,” Mr. Kerry said at the time in an interview broadcast on state-run television. “I think the president has a very real timeline, and we hope it’s going to be very, very soon.”

I'm Secretary of State and I think, I think, my boss might'a could, maybe, just possibly have a timeline to stop it in Pakistan and start it here at home. Ooops, wasn't supposed to say that last part. 

Madness.
