Earlier in the week I posted on the New York man who had his firearm confiscated, purportedly for being on anti-depressant drugs (which I noted at the time is a treatment for a fairly common malady; making the confiscation akin to seizing someone’s broken arm for the crime of wearing a cast). As the story broke and started gaining narrative steam, NY state law enforcement (Erie) suggested that the whole thing had been an honest record-keeping mistake and that the mental health aspect of the story as it had been reported wasn’t true.   Continue reading “NY’s Cuomo and DHS lie, collude on gun confiscation gambit?”

It’s now being suggested that Google Glass, the computers worn over the eyes, can be used to catch rogue stock traders before they wander off the reservation and destroy the firms they work for.

Google Glass records everything the wearer sees and says. So if all brokers are ordered to have them, their every move can be observed by company spies. Wonderful, right?   Continue reading “Google Glass: obedience to the Matrix”

Clothing stores, like this one in Belfast, Northern Ireland, feature t-shirts with the image of Marxist freedom fighter Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Hollywood and counterculture hipsters romanticize the life of a man who executed thousands and said "the victory of Socialism is worth millions of atomic deaths." /Wikimedia CommonsThe Daily Cougar – by Sarah Backer

Next time you see someone sporting a shirt or anything with the visage of Marxist freedom fighter, Ernesto “Che” Guevara, stop and ask them what they know about this romanticized symbol of revolution.

In order for the US to permit citizens of a foreign country to enter the US without a visa, that country must agree to certain conditions. Chief among them is reciprocity: that country must allow Americans to enter without a visa as well. There are 37 countries which have been permitted entrance into America’s “visa waiver” program, and all of them – all 37 – reciprocate by allowing American citizens to enter their country without a visa.   Continue reading “Barbara Boxer, AIPAC seek to codify Israel’s right to discriminate against Americans”

A civil war looks likely to break out in America, and it will pit gun rights advocates (people who love liberty) against gun control zealots (people who hate freedom and love tyranny). The battle lines are being drawn right now as gun manufacturers are leaving anti-Constitution states like Connecticut and Colorado and relocating to pro-Constitution states like Texas and Arizona.   Continue reading “Civil war battle lines being drawn as Magpul, Colt, Beretta and other gun manufacturers relocate to pro-Constitution states”

LONDON – The ‘legacy thing’ is especially hard to manage when large swaths of the population feel that a former political puppet was completely on the wrong side of history.

Just ask Tony Blair, who is a shoe-in to grace the annals of history as one of most evil, money-orientated and unapologetic leaders in history. But this year’s fury has been reserved for the ‘The Iron Lady’, who many Britons believe laid the groundwork for the elitist, dysfunctional, closing society and greed-plagued political culture the country is unfortunately witnessing today.   Continue reading “BBC Shoot Themselves in Foot Again Trying to Preserve Thatcher’s Thorny Legacy”

History has shown us that one of the most dangerous things an individual can have in a totalitarian state is an opinion. In Hitler’s German, Mao’s China, or Stalin’s Soviet Union, it was always the same – have an opinion, go to jail.

What’s completely discouraging is that America is starting to be the same kind of state. People who are using their First Amendment free speech rights to raise important issues are increasingly finding themselves carted off to jail, or running the risk that their children will be wrenched from their arms and placed into the state system.   Continue reading “Man Charged With Terrorism For Criticizing School Security”

It is a well known fact that criminals do not purchase guns legally. They do not go to stores. They do not undergo background investigations. They do not fill out necessary paperwork. They purchase cheap, throwaway guns, steal them, or obtain them from friends or family.

A Bureau of Justice Statistics publication from 2001 confirmed that among state inmates possessing a gun, fewer than 2% bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show, about 12% from a retail store or pawnshop, and 80% from family, friends, a street buy, or an illegal source. A more recent BJS study showed that from 2005 through 2010, 86% of burglaries and 75% of other property crimes involving a stolen firearm were reported to police.   Continue reading “Law Abiding Citizens Forced to Pay for Criminal Acts of Others”
