According to reports from Capitol Hill, the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on two gun control bills as early as next week. The first bill, so-called universal background check legislation, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms. The second bill, sometimes inaccurately described as legislation to close the Charleston loophole, would undermine the Second Amendment right by permitting the federal government to delay a firearm transfer indefinitely without proof that the transferee is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Im sitting in a tripod stand in a copse of live oaks aptly named Pig Ridge. Its a fine-looking spot for swine, with a dry creek bed to the rear, and a tangle of hostile Texas brush ahead.

I settle my 20-yard pin and let fly, and that pig dies within sight.
