This morning, I posted a link on FaceBook to a New York Post article containing this quote from the people who took Nikolas Cruz in after his adoptive mother died: “The couple said Cruz acted very immature and suspected his adopted mother coddled him. ‘He was very naïve. He wasn’t dumb, just naïve,” James said.…
Unless you are depraved, you want to reduce these mass shootings but as I have noted in the past with the posting of the clip of the 1991 congressional testimony of Dr. Suzanna Hupp (survivor off the Luby’s Restaurant shooting in Killeen, Texas that killed 23), for the past 30 years the reaction to these…
Virtue signaling. I have written of this before. It is simply a way the progressive left sends messages to the other members of their tribe that the messenger belongs, they are one of the tribe. The screeching of the anti-gun harpies after any major event involving a gun after years long silence over the slow…
Today, the New York Times puts the progressive intent right out there: “No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation.” Imagine if the editorial was about abortion instead of guns. Read the article and everywhere firearms are mentioned, mentally replace that mention with the word “abortion”. Do you think they would write the same…
One really has to take a step back from the rhetoric raging around the Roseburg, Oregon shootings (actually it is the same heated, politicized language that follows every crime that progressives find politically advantageous) to see the issue. This will be hard to do because we have a purely politically motivated president who has already…
Collectivism is based on a central authority for planning and execution of all economic tasks and elimination of the individual choice and responsibility inherent in capitalist systems. Collectivism doesn’t work because it is impossible to scale a decision making process to every economic transaction. In a way, our system of reliance on the current design…
PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: ‘Compromise’ Negates Principles If you embrace the notions of individual rights and liberty and self-governance, then you must embrace and protect the principles and ideals of Natural Law. This is because these things come only from Natural Law and not from man. They can never come from man. By logical extension, this…
LAWLESSNESS IN THE HEADLINES: Obama to Use Executive Orders to End 2nd Amendment This post is actually tied to the push for ‘Net Neutrality.’ Both are lawless actions, but one demonstrates why the other is being pushed. First, let’s look at something. Here is a link to a search I did for “Obama outlaw AR ammo.’ …
LESSONS IN APPLIED LOGIC: What Ukraine Teaches Us about Gun Control This is to anyone who has ever believed the lies advanced by those who advocate for gun control. And the claim that giving up our weapons makes us safer is a lie. Statistics, anecdotal evidence and history all speak to this fact. So I do…
FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: Government Can’t Make End-Runs Around Your Rights It is a sad thing that the nation which brought self-government based upon the rule of law in alignment with Natural Law no longer understands the principles upon which it was founded. We have people in the former Soviet States – where the principles of…
Since 2009, Progressive Democrats and their Progressive allies in the Republican party have been using the Federal Government to destroy American jobs and industry. Starting with NASA, after closing down the Space Shuttle program, and began paying the Russians $63,000,000 U.S. per seat to ferry American astronauts to the International Space Station. Deep water drilling…
Though people have taken to the streets from Egypt, to Ukraine, to Venezuela toThailand, many have wondered whether Americans would ever resist the increasing encroachments on their freedom. I think they’ve begun. Glenn Harlan Reynolds, a University of Tennessee law professor, is the author of The New School: How the Information Age Will Save American Education from Itself. Why does Professor…
FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: The Natural Right to Self Defense Let me just say this as forcefully as I can: anyone who argues that the Second Amendment does not protect the individual’s right to keep and bear arms is either arguing from ignorance or lying! In most cases, primarily those of average citizens, they argue…
Does being a member of a “civilized society” require that the “civilized” give up their right to protect their own person and property in favor of the collective protection of law enforcement? That is really what the anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment folks are saying. Leave it to the police. Shelter in place, cower down and hide…
FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: Illustrating the Real Reason for the Second Amendment It is popular for authoritarians to claim that the second amendment is out-dated, that it refers only to fire arms and that it doesn’t even apply to the individual but to the National Guard. These people also couch the debate over the second amendment…
Did anyone see the 20/20 propaganda piece on guns and children this last week? It was pure, unadulterated propaganda. In other words, it was fair dust meant to convince you that we should – or even can – surrender our Natural Right to self defense. I wish The Blaze TV were available on peoples’ TV…
There is just no possible way that the Founders could have meant what they wrote in the Second Amendment. They just never could have anticipated the kinds of automatic weaponry we have today. Even noted Second Amendment scholar, Piers Morgan of CNN knows that, having stated: “The Second Amendment was devised with muskets in mind,…
AGENDAS: The Battle Of Athens – Tennessee! THIS Is Why The Founders Included The Second Amendment In The Bill Of Rights The drum-beat from the Statists to ban private ownership of arms – not just firearms, but all arms – is directly connected to their desire to control you. Now I see they are trying to…
“I think I’m in agreement with you and, unfortunately, drastic times require drastic measures,” the professor said, according to CTNewsJunkie. “I think the Second Amendment is misunderstood and I think it’s time today, in our drastic measures, to repeal and replace that Second Amendment.” Penrose then proposed a solution that would allow each state to…
After reading Utah’s post, pretty much on this same subject, I figured I’d finish the post I had been writing the past couple days. At this point, I admit I am piling on, but I think you might find my take on this same issue a bit different: SOCIAL ENGINEERING: It’s Not The Guns, It’s Us…
