  1. Any time you see a poll showing clear support for some technical concept outside the regular experience of most people, remember that “ending women’s suffrage” and “banning dihydrogen monoxide” also tend to poll quite well.

  2. “On the far side of the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously beetle-like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal-tall muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree — existed and even predominated. Actually, so far as he could judge, the majority of people in Airstrip One were small, dark, and ill-favoured. It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party.”

    -George Orwell, 1984

  3. Feinstein should be force to attend and watch them change hands. It could blow a fuse in her head. Schumer should be forced to attend as well.

  4. Don’t let him bait us here. The point is NOTwhether or not gun control simply “reduces” gun violence (it probably would). The question is whether or not the level of gun violence we tolerate in the US is compensated by increased levels of personal security, civility, and self-reliance.

  5. The best answer for most of us is to NEVER go to NY or NYC for ANY reason. I understand that some business people MUST go there, but the risk of being armed is too great for the remainder of your life. I am curtailing all my travel to only those places that are at least somewhat friendly to gun owners and carriers. And that list is getting smaller every day. Talk about Sequestration! Us gun owners will soon be sequestered to our homes or maybe our cars, even with CCW licenses (I prefer the term License to Permit). It will be very hard for me to ever understand how the “uninformed voters” ever let themselves and the rest of us get to this point. If only they could see that their personal freedom and liberty and 2A rights are just about the most important thing we have in this nation, Iknow I know it’s our “children”, but you must put the 2A up against your childrens’ future and safety. Do you want them to grow up in a virtual prison but be “safe”? That’s what is happening now. We need everybody who votes to wake up and help stem this surf tide of 2A attacks.

  6. “The same weapons as the police”:

    If cops find it prudent to have 17 rounds in their sidearms, so should everyone else who buys a gun for self-defense. That’s just common sense.

  7. Does he mean to tell us that all the GANG MEMBERS in the military passed BACKGROUND CHECKS?

    No lie seems to be too outrageous to tell.

  8. Some cultures have in fact changed, and arguably for the better.
    For instance, in most regions it’s no longer a common practice to ritualistically sacrifice humans by ripping out their hearts, hurl perfectly good virgins into volcanoes, or burn witches at the stake.
    In stark contrast to the latter practice, some might be well inclined to point out that Americans have even gone so far as to having actually elected a certain number of them to prominent positions in government.

    “Personally, I fully respect and strongly support the unalienable right of all Freewomen to keep and bear arms — and under certain circumstances and with but few exceptions, most anything else they might choose to bare.”
