Chicago’s Gun Control Failure
Last week, the city of Chicago reached its 500th murder for the 2012 calendar year. Mayor Rahm Emanuel called this “an unfortunate and tragic milestone”. That’s putting it mildly. In a city with some of the toughest gun laws in the country, that serves as a shining beacon for gun control according to the Lunacy Campaign, at […]
Clearly I’m in the Wrong Business
Yesterday, a one-day gun exchange program in Los Angeles brought in 2,037 firearms. People who turned in firearms were given supermarket gift cards worth as much as $200 depending on the type of gun.

Here We Go Again…

The Culture War Against Guns
It was no surprise that following the recent tragic school shooting in Connecticut, the government immediately starting blaming guns. The first victims hadn’t even been buried yet, and Dianne Feinstein was already talking about renewing the so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban. This is nothing new. Democrats have always been openly for more gun control (when they dared), […]
Charles Barkley and the US Gun Culture
NBA Hall-of-Famer Sir Charles “Chuck” Barkley, along with John McEnroe of tennis fame, joined Bob Costas on his show “Costas Tonight” to discuss Costas’ recent ridiculous and controversial halftime gun lecture. Here’s the video. I’m not a big fan of Chuck, mostly because I think he has a big mouth and rarely makes much sense, but I […]
