"I am typing this with one hand, perhaps something more familiar to those who have not been typing since they were 10 years old. The day before my birthday my left hand started hurting enough for me to stop using it. I could not extend my fingers or make a fist. My guess is that between work and blogging, I was spending too much time at the keyboard combined with an extensive shooting session. I did my usual web research and came to the conclusion it was tendonitis, a condition that would require taking an over the counter inflammatory and using ice packs. Seems to be working but it got me started thinking about something I have written about; why all seniors should have at least one revolver." ... |

"The California senate has approved a bill that requires background checks and a $50 fee to purchase ammo. Senator Tom Berryhill objected: 'SB 53 will do nothing to stop criminals from purchasing ammunition… These restrictions – like most of the gun legislation we are seeing here today – won’t do a thing to stop crime. They will only hurt the law abiding citizens like hunters and sportsmen who, for the record, contribute millions to the state’s economy.' But none of that matters in The People’s Republic of California as they continue to jockey for position with New York to be the state that tramples the Second Amendment into oblivion first. And speaking of New York . . ." ... |

"The film takes a step back from the public discourse on limiting magazine capacity and defining assault rifles. Instead, 'Assaulted' offers a unique historical perspective on the Second Amendment’s significance, taking a critical and objective look at the current gun laws, and the effect on civil rights and liberty." ... |

... "So now Rick Perry ventures to Connecticut, little more than six months after a crazed gunman carried out a massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. What does Perry do? He tells gun manufacturers that they can escape all of that pesky regulation that Connecticut has instituted to prevent future such massacres. All they need to do is move to Texas."
"For all his efforts and Texas taxpayer expense, it looks like Perry might lure a whopping 270 jobs down to Texas. But the message he sent to those poor families in Newtown was: Rick Perry is someone you can rely upon to capitalize on your grief to bolster his political image." ...

If your Second Amendment constitutional right is to sell an AR-15 assault rifle with a bump stock, a 7-power scope and 10 30-round magazines filled with hollow-point bullets to a restraining-ordered, wife-assaulting convicted felon, out of the trunk of your car, then maybe your rights are being trampled.
