Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.

Not directly gun-related, but I think it bodes well for the future of our rights.

This is where there is leverage for positive change, if any, and where the future will be decided. So, a little good news. Thanks.

ACLU not down with the Feds trying to fry Zimmerman. Or at least, not really:

If you're in, or considering joining, the ACLU, this article should give you second thoughts. "Racial justice"   ;/

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Actually, this one failed by one vote.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Here's a bill that never should have been needed, but it's good to see it now:

http://watchdog.org/127435/florida-school-guns/

Quote
A new proposed committee bill in the Florida Legislature would put an end to treating young students like violent offenders. A state House education proposal would prohibit school disciplinary action for the following:

Brandishing a partially consumed pastry or other food item to simulate a firearm or weapon
Possessing a toy firearm or weapon that is two inches or less in overall length
Possessing a toy firearm or weapon made of plastic snap-together building blocks
Using a finger or hand to simulate a firearm or weapon
Vocalizing an imaginary firearm or weapon
Drawing a picture of, or possessing an image of, a firearm or weapon
My writing blog: Kyrie Devonai Publishing

When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!

Gun and ammo sales may be slowing down, but as the article suggests, that may only be a result of ammo drought.
