... "... What I expect is for someone who took an oath to the Constitution to understand that free citizens have a right to be where they want to be, that their right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

"Remember six months ago when the anti-gun Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Washington CeaseFire were aghast that Seattle coffee giant Starbucks would not become their political surrogate and ban armed customers from their shops?"
"... The campaign against Starbucks had kicked off down in California (where else?) and the gun prohibition lobby tried to spread it nationally, but quickly lost traction ... Almost immediately, the Open Carry crowd declared it would spend more time and money with their local Starbucks franchises ..."
"Now comes the news that Starbucks is reporting big earnings during the third quarter ..." ... |

... "But in the spirit of Jonathan Swift, I present a nouveau Modest Proposal for bringing common sense to the gun rights/gun control discourse, namely:""Ban gun ownership by radical Islamic terrorists." "There it is. Simple. Short. Easy to wrap your mind around. When Islamic terrorists can’t buy guns, only ‘good Muslims’ (and the rest of us infidels) will have guns. Now I know that, on the surface, this plan might seem to have some .50 Caliber-sized holes in it, but stay with me, and I think you’ll see the wisdom of this proposal." ... |

... "So, how’s that apply to guns and self defense you ask? Fair question. My point is that there are two ways to learn: let’s call them adaptive and elementary. For things that relate well to one another, say driving a car, then learning to drive a diesel truck, you may be able to apply adaptive learning. But for things that don’t come close to existing skill patterns or things you want/need to do really, really well your best bet is to take the time and try the elementary approach." ... |

"I reckon firearms enthusiasts are a bunch of kids who never grew up. Well, the male of the species. As young boys, we fought Nazis, Japs, VC, bank robbers, hostage takers, etc. with toy guns, defeating the bad guys with feats of daring and deadly marksmanship. I don’t think we ever lost that love of shooting something or, let’s face it, someone that needs shooting. ... Hence the boom in 'born again' guns like the McMillan M40A1 Commemorative United States Marine Corps Sniper Rifle. ..." ... |

"In Wednesday's column, I suggested that gun rights advocates need to hold Republicans' feet to the fire, in order to ensure that Tuesday's big Republican gains translate into big, material gains on the gun rights front. Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman also weighed in on that theme, with some oppressive gun laws that Republicans, with their incoming reinforcements, ought to repeal. Mr. Workman will certainly get no argument from me on that score, although I didn't manage to muster as much ambition as he has." ... |

"So, what we have to do is get off our butts and remind them early who put them in power. From the day that they are sworn in, we should remind them just who it is they are working for and what principles got them elected." ...

... "A Democratic Party mailer quoting the 'Knoxville Examiner Gun Rights Questionnaire' as their source, stated,""Campfield wants to let anyone carry a gun. He'd let convicted rapists and child sex predators carry concealed guns into churches, playgrounds, and even child care centers and schools." "While mudslinging ads are to be expected in most elections, this one was just over the top. Anyone with reasonable intelligence could not draw that conclusion from Campfield's answers." ...

... "It is absurd for the NRA to believe that assisting persons like Reid and Rios will keep the Democrats in line with the 2nd Amendment. Reid is essentially a Left-wing, Progressive Democrat. Were the Democrats able to get a strangle-hold on our government, they would make the 2nd Amendment one of their main targets. Reid and his Progressive Democrat colleagues would undoubtedly join forces against the 2nd Amendment." ... |
