Guns Keep the Wolves At Bay

“We live in a society of wolves. You do not fight back by creating more sheep.”

Those are the sentiments of ex-Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino, speaking at a Guns Across America rally on why the current gun control efforts are misplaced. During his many years in law enforcement, Bongino noted, he never confiscated a firearm from a criminal who had obtained it legally. H/T IOwntheWorld

When the White House published a photograph of the president shooting skeets, a terse warning was simultaneously issued expressly forbidding any photoshopping of the image. But ThePeoplesCube.Com violated the order, mocking Obama and provoking widespread riots that enraged all Progressive Americans. Who stands with us in demanding justice for this transgression?

Political Correctness

Will Hollywood ever again give us right-thinking and conservative stars like Charlton Heston and John Wayne? Probably not. This generation’s stars are squishy, bandwagon liberal hacks lacking both the intelligence and the independence to think for themselves. In the absence of any stars of the caliber of Heston or Wayne, we’re left to go back to the source.

Here’s a definitive speech that Heston gave at Brandeis University in 2000 touching on the issues of political correctness, common sense, gun policies and the need to always challenge authority. Heston’s words ring just as true today as back then. H/T LibertyPen

Like a chicken in every pot and an unmanned drone over every house,” wonders Ben Crystal in this week’s The Great Eight. He also shares his thoughts on Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s anti-gun theatrics.

The Failure of Gun Control

Ignorance and emotion shape much of the debate against guns. In fact, strict gun control won’t prevent gun violence. It will just make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves from killers and crooks.

Dumb Congressional Hearings

As Congress gets worked up into a stupor over gun control, one thing’s certain: We can expect some unbelievably dumb congressional hearings to follow. Already Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb) have proposed yet another study on violent video games. In anticipation of the scare-mongering and grandstanding to come, Reason.TV presents a greatest hits parade — a half dozen of the dumbest all-time Congressional hearings, focusing on sex, violence and Satan.

Obama’s Bait and Switch

In the guise of protecting our schools and children, President Obama has announced his sweeping package of gun controls. But an examination of the package of proposed bills and executive orders shows few of them really are aimed at protecting kids. Instead, says Dick Morris, we’re seeing a classic bait and switch, a con being perpetrated by the President, exploiting children to ram through policy measures the Democrats have wanted to see enacted for decades.

Washington’s Power Grab

Sandy Hook was a great tragedy. But the bigger tragedy might be yet to come as politicians exploit gun hysteria to expand their powers and create an even more intrusive government than we already have.
