Leave it to the Obama administration to prod local police to cruise gun show parking lots with license plate scanners. Again. It’s nothing new to us.

Clinton's tired old gun-control spiel gets no better with age :: 10/03/2016
Right on cue, there it was: Hillary Clinton in her first debate with Donald Trump, or whatever that surreal blatherfest was the other night, calling for "common sense gun safety" measures, comprehensive background checks and barring the poor souls on the no-fly list their right to constitutional due process.
Commentary: Trump law-and-order platform would help blacks :: 10/03/2016
Is Donald Trump's "law and order" campaign just code for racism? The media and Hillary Clinton sure believe so.

Violence is inherent to human nature, researchers claim :: 10/03/2016
Are human beings inherently violent? According to a recent study by researchers of the Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas (Experimental Station of Arid Zones) and the University of Granada, yes, we are, but to the extent that some other mammal species are. It turns out that the most violent mammal—the ones that most often kill members of their own species—is the meerkat. Yes, the adorable town-dwellers of the Kalahari. Many primates are on the top thirty list, as are members of the order Carnivora, but so is the California ground squirrel.

DRGO: Hospitals: Gun-Free Terrorist Targets :: 10/01/2016
Thank you, Alan, Julianne and the SAF for asking me to speak to you again this year. As you may know I am a fervent opponent of Gun Free Zones in general, and in hospitals, in particular.

Buried in the Latest Trump Gaffe Is an Important Point About Self-Defense :: 09/30/2016
Across the political spectrum pundits are adding Donald Trump’s comment last Friday that Hillary’s Secret Service detail should “disarm” to his long list of reprehensible comments and bone-headed gaffes.
