Yogi Bear Need Not Fear the Second Amendment
I’m not sure I can count all the silly things contained in this article, but I can put all of them in a basket marked “anti-gun buffoons”. The upshot is that the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the groups that has decided that since one guy was shot by a lunatic who should never [...]
From Nightmare to Museum Exhibit
This is a positive sign, I think. On the two-year anniversary of Saddam’s death by hanging, Iraq is preparing to open a new museum that will allow Iraqis to see up close such macabre mementos of mass executions, torture, and other atrocities committed in Saddam’s decades-long rule. … It will showcase torture devices such as [...]
