Are the statistics used in this article are based on reports, arrests, or convictions? I suspect they are based on convictions, as that is the closest we can get to determining if a person actually committed a crime, and unlike reports, would include an accurate description of race. As such, I would...

What Jim Carrey and countless other Hollywood fruitcakes fail to realize is that I will never go see a movie just because I agree with something they say, but I will sure as hell avoid one.

I keep reading this crap about "in common use at the time". This should be irrelevant as criminals are not limiting themselves to 18th century weapons. Limiting myself to such weapons when the people I need to defend myself against aren't imposes an unreasonable restriction upon me. I can'...

L1A1Rocker wrote:Where in Heller does one find that "Reasonable Restrictions" are allowable? I cannot find it.

While I think it was mentioned in Heller, I think it originates from an earlier ruling.

You lost me at atheist...

Any legislation limiting the number of rounds that a magazine can hold should be the easiest of gun control legislation to have declared unconstitutional. Should they pass such legislation: Step 1: Get arrested for being in possession of an illegal "High Capacity" magazine. Step 2: Plead &...

As for the article in the OP, I think the author is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, but he does have an odd way of expressing it. For starters, he keeps saying that if you resist, you will die and your death will have been for nothing. I couldn't disagree more. Unless of course everyone else has b...

That's the thing about stereotypes. Often times they are accurate. Of course that doesn't mean EVERY cop is a bad cop. I've met quite a few who were good cops and good people and I can honestly say I've never had a run in with a bad cop. All that being said, they are out there. Probably moreso in la...

It's Bush's fault!!!

My wife doesn't understand it (and most rational people likely wouldn't either) when I lament on what a failure most of these killing spree people are. If their purpose at the end of their life was to take as many people with them, then most of them have failed miserably... (Important note for the F...

That's a good start, but they'll also have to guarantee me that NOBODY will have a firearm, not even the criminals who don't care if they're illegal. ...and once they assume liability for protecting all the citizens they've disarmed. Since none of this is EVER going to happen, then I'll be keeping m...

Actually, the first time I held and fired an AK-47 was when I was in the US Army. It wasn't my assigned weapon and it was only for familiarization, but still. He also didn't make the distinction that he was talking about US soldiers. Sometimes I feel like we're nitpicking him just for the sake of ni...

Why? Do you have a reason to fear armed citizens? If not, then STFU! If so, then STFU!

Would this have prevented him from getting his guns? Was he a criminal at the time he purchased them? Isn't there something in place already that prevents criminals from legally obtaining firearms? (Criminals being felons) Or are we talking about criminals as in Department of Pre-Crime criminals?

Now now... I don't think "crazies" is a politically correct term. When referring to people like Bloomberg, we should use words like "treason" or "traitor" or "terrorist". (Why not, he's using fear to advance his political agenda - pretty much the textbook defi...

Sotomayor (along with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) joined Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent, which flatly asserted: "The Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self-defense." I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I call bullshit. The B...

Hrmmm... An invasion of a country in the Middle East followed by a hunt for weapons of mass destruction. If only there were something similiar in history that we could look back upon to gauge how successful we might be in such an endeavour...

I see how it is. Martha's train of thought must run something along these lines: "If I can't have one, neither should you!"

I didn't vote in the poll because I didn't agree with either option. Had you phrased the first option "Pedophiles should never have any possibility to be a scout leader", I would have selected that option. But Homosexual != Pedophile, just like gun owner does not equal murderer, or silence...

IMO - This is what credit cards are for. Not debit cards, but credit cards. I have had my credit card compromised twice and neither time did my CC company hold me liable for even a penny of the fraudulent charges. There weren't many charges actually, they are pretty good nowdays at detecting them. T...

Bang who?

The comments are just plain stupid. It seems nobody has a sense of humor anymore, which just reinforces what Morgan Freeman said in the interview about not being able to say anything without it getting blogged and tweeted and whatever. The one they should be making fun of is that nutjob Whoopi Goldb...

I'd like to come up with a fact-checked list of my own.

"1,500 Fact-Checked Instances where Obama Unnecessarily Blamed Bush for Something Stupid to Distract from his own Failures"

Why does aiming have to be difficult? Attach a GoPro camera to the barrel and align it. Hook that up to a wireless transmitter and put crosshairs on the monitor. Aim by looking at the screen so it's natural, not by looking at the tank and trying to figure out where it's aiming.

Wow! I didn't know he even had the authority to do many of those things, but I guess they're all "fact-checked" and attributable to President Obama. Some of the things he has accomplished makes me believe that maybe he did earn that Nobel Peace Prize. Even though it probably wasn't easy, c...
