The first time I shot a gun, an M4 assault rifle, I didn’t want to pick it up — I was scared of the unexpectedly giant death machine I’d agreed to shoot with. As it happens, I probablyshouldn’t have picked it up — a stray shell casing burned my leg and left a bullet-shaped scar, along with a story that has gotten me through many a bad date. But pick it up I did, and goddamn, was it fun. I felt so cool, the metal in my hands, my eye on the target, the little red light telling me exactly where to shoot so I felt like a crack shot even though I was hitting the target only because that little red light was telling me exactly where to shoot. Go ahead. Make my day.    Continue reading “Why the 2nd Amendment Applies Only to Your Muskets and Dueling Pistols”

If you’re looking to light up a cigarette in the City of Sioux Falls, you may soon have fewer options. A new proposal is looking to ban outdoor tobacco use at all city owned property.

There is a well-documented history of the U.S. government supplying weapons and arms to both friends and foe for political purposes and for profit. In addition to publicly known global arms deals to U.S. political allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia, revelations about the rise of ISIS indicate that U.S. arms and military trainees have been a critical factor in the rise of the terror group.

From 2006 to 2011 the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ran a gun smuggling operation into Mexico to ostensibly dismantle Mexican drug gangs, accomplishing the precise opposite however, in what has affectionately become known as Fast and Furious. Further back in time we have covert operations like Oliver North’s Iran Contra scandal of the mid 1980’s, and America’s involvement in arming rebels in Central America to destabilize uncooperative governments. The list goes on.   Continue reading “Gang Members Implicate U.S. Gov’t in Dumping Crates of Guns in Chicago”
