“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Party with politeness.
Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you, brother,
You won’t find one without the other.

Methinks he makes a valid point. Follow the link and decide for yourself.

American Stasi 0
ICE agents attacked and injured an American citizen as he was walking to his school. Here’s a snippet from the report:
(Santa Maria City Council member Gloria–ed.) Soto said it appears the student was racially profiled.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.
“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0
At the Las Vegas Sun, Jane Larkin argues that Donald Trump rhymes with Neville Chamberlain.
