Gun Owners Should Support Chris Bunch for Congress

We have a politician principled enough to give us what most will not: unequivocal answers on his support for the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
I put out a second Gun Rights Examiner column today to introduce you to a citizen running for public office with guts enough to answer this with no weasel words.

I hope you appreciate that as much as I do, and do what you can to support this man, starting by sharing the GRE column link with your gun owner friends.

A Mugged Liberal

State Sen. R.C. Soles shoots one of two home intruders [More]
What?

You can't mean anti-gun State Sen. R.C. Soles...?

Or is he? While Grassroots North Carolina has had problems with him, NRA gave him an A.

You know, the same as for Bill Brown...

King of the Hill

The Battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina, occurred on the 7th day of October, 1780, and resulted in the defeat of Lieutenant Colonel Ferguson, who commanded the royal forces, and the loss of his command, not one man escaping from the battle field. [More]
Well, no one expected that outcome, now did they...?

The Latest West Coast Trend

Self-caused internal collapse. [More]

Spreading eastward to a state near you.

Man, I'm glad I'm outta there.

Time to Ban Assault Cars in Nashville!

Pedestrian accidents are on the rise in Metro Nashville, where hundreds are hit, hurt or killed by vehicles each year. [More]
Not that we want to confuse "assault cars" with "patrol cars"...

You know what would probably stop this?

Mandatory training, registration and licensing.

Oh, wait...

Meanwhile, Back in Homer Simpson's Home Town...

Increased police presence pledged for Springfield [More]
I guess the solution to violent crime is to give Chief Wiggums more power. Lord knows your chances of getting him to agree to this aren't guaranteed.

Funny how all those hoops have absolutely no effect on predators, isn't it?

Doh!

Militia Act Did Not Establish Constitutionality of Mandatory Gun Registration

Of course there were militia rolls--you can't have a command without knowing who's in it. And of course commanders would ensure the men were properly equipped. It's hardly a surprise that some lists would have been kept verifying this. But this was applicable to militia service only. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column argues that some "pro-gun scholars and advocates" are really stretching when they opine the Militia Act established a precedent for gun registration.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?
