Operation Fast and Furious Gets Strange and Sinister
The story around Operation Fast and Furious has reached the stage where large chunks of it no longer fit neatly into a straight-line narrative. Let me see if I can bring you up to speed. First, the “simple” story. Arizona police arrested five people in April outside of Phoenix with at least 500 grams of [...]
The Delivery Presents – I Don’t Often Sound the Horn of Outrage, But…
I covered quite a a bit of ground in Episode 99 (AKA: The Big Gretzky!) but by far, the most important part of the whole show is in the second half of the first segment. Listen to the whole show, of course, then send it to your friends and family and get them to subscribe [...]
When Guns Are Outlawed…We All Rely on the Mercy of the Unjust
See the violence inherent in the system! The Illinois House’s assistant majority leader had a handgun pointed at him in the Lower West Side’s Heart of Chicago neighborhood over the weekend. State Representative Edward Acevedo (D-Chicago) wasn’t injured in the incident, which occurred around 10:18 p.m. Friday in the 2500 block of South Oakley Boulevard. [...]

In a free and orderly society like ours, we should always lean toward more liberal gun laws because moving the other way [...]
Eek! A Gun!
This is some Olympic-class snark from my friend Paula. Really, the old saw, “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people” is one of the dumber things you can say in an argument about the propriety of firearms. Like Eddie Izzard says, “the gun helps, you know?” Guns do kill people and, as it happens, they kill [...]
Just So We’re Clear, I Like Guns.
I’m sure there are people who would see this picture and immediately look around for someone to apologize to. I’m not one of them, though. Charlton Heston pretty summed up my personal philosophies a long time ago — on guns and damned dirty apes. Also, Good Lord is theblogprof an enormous man!
Shocking News: Washington, DC Has Not Become Wild West Shootoutville
Washington, D.C. has been behaving rather strangely. No, I’m not talking about the usual suspects who inhabit the Federal buildings whose strangeness is becoming incredibly tiresome. I mean the city itself. It’s been a year since the D.C. City government was forced by the Supreme Court to give residents their Second Amendment rights back yet [...]
