Some Scary Stuff

Some scary stuff out there. On the surface, one would believe it very difficult to just arbitrarily stomp on the Second Amendment, particularly after the Heller decision last year by the U.S. Supreme Court.

But a growing body of thinking 2A activists and scholars are becoming very concerned about the potential for the incoming U.S. attorney general to ban guns at will, with the blessing of the rabidly anti-self defense, anti gun Congressional leadership. On face value, sounds impossible. but . . .

This is worth reading. Check it out here.

San Francisco About To Fold

If news reports are to be believed, it appears the city of San Francisco is about ready to settle with the National Rifle Association. Specifically, the San Francisco Housing Authority is about to drop its blanket handgun ban in public housing.

NRA sued San Francisco one day after the Heller decision by the U.S. Supreme Court rejected DC's irrational and dangerous ban on handguns in the nation's capitol.

Pro-Gun Richardson Drops Out As Pick For Obama Cabinet Post

One of only two pro-gun politicians in Barack Obama's kitchen cabinet has dropped out of the running for a key cabinet post.

Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, was Obama's pick to become U.S. Commerce Secretary. But a grand jury investigation into how some of Richardson's political donors won a lucrative state contract caused him to remove his name from consideration.

Too bad. On the Second Amendment, the voices of reason around the conference table when the new president meets with his cabinet secretaries has been cut in half. That leaves Ken Salazar, Obama's pick for Interior Secretary.

Sustainable Protein

I love clever wordplay.

Over at Bright Idea Outdoors, there is a link to a column about hunting. The suggestion has been made that if you want to continue to hunt, be politically correct (ewwww), there should be a new way to define it. Just as the anti self defense crowd now calls gun control "gun safety."

So here it is. To appeal to those who don't understand hunting, we should call it "sustainable protein."

Heh . . .

In Gun-Free Britain, Revelers Quietly Ring In The New Year

NOT!

Yes, in the UK, where Sarah Brady's cronies said that by disarming citizens, there would be peace and quiet, there was nothing but mayhem on New Year's Eve.

Brawls, stabbings, beatings . . . yes, the wonderful world of "Sarah Brady land."

Friend's Condition Worsens

Over the weekend, I noted that a friend was critically injured during a robbery at his neighborhood market. The bad guy got away with nothing, but shot my friend.

Tonight he is still in the hospital, and is paralyzed from the waist down.

Not the happiest of new year's for this gentleman and his family, but he could have lost his life. We will see what happens in the coming days . . .

The robber is still at large.

Happy New Year

May 2009 not be as draconian and Orwellian as firearms owners and 2nd Amendment supporters are predicting . . .

And may the New Year bring you peace, prosperity and -- safety!
