For a guy who claims to support the 2nd amendment, Jim Cooper sure has a funny way of showing it. In fact, the language in AB 2497 tells me that Assemblymember Jim Cooper‘s claim is an outright lie. Last legislative session (2015-2016) he authored a bill that addressed “ghost guns” requiring anyone who previously built one to apply […]
On Sunday March 18, 2018, two Sacramento Police officers shot and killed a man. The young man, Stephon Clark, was a 22 (or 23 depending on the source) year old black man, who was not armed. To listen to Black Lives Matter or the deceased man’s family, you would think he was a fine upstanding […]
The leftist gun grabbers in the House of Representatives have introduced the latest and greatest incarnation of their recycled, already tried and proven ineffective “assault weapon” ban – HR 5087. Rather than rehashing everything I already said on Twitter, I’m going the lazy route and just going to plop down the tweets right here. So, […]
Let me start by saying something that I should not need to say, but thanks to those who seek to ban guns, doing so has become necessary lest I be accused of wanting more kids to die. I abhor school shootings, mass shootings, and murder in general. I have spent my entire professional life fighting […]
It has been a little more than a week since the horrific shooting in Parkland, FL and as more becomes known about what lead up to that shooting, it is proving itself to be a tragically perfect example of government’s total failure, in fact it’s inability to keep people safe. Getting beyond the mistakes that […]
I am distrustful and wary. I am distrustful of evangelists, self-appointed do-gooders, politicians and speedy government. I am distrustful because the laws never stop where they claim. Every new law promises to reduce crime and tragedy, yet these atrocities keep happening. The laws don’t work as promised. We hear “inconveniencing a few” gun owners is […]
By now, you may have seen the breaking news stories about how the Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy who was assigned as a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL failed engage the gunman for 4-6 minutes. Initially, I was angry and disgusted when I heard this, but I took […]
So, the left continues to scream that Trump is destroying the country, but it seems to me, despite the fact that generally speaking the news media bashes Trump constantly, the bits and pieces of news I am catching seem to tell a much different story. If I were to just look at the stock market, and […]
A friend of mine, a person whom I’ve known since kindergarten, a very kind, caring, good hearted woman shared an article on Facebook two days ago. I found it odd because she normally does not share political stuff, but usually sticks to stories about animals, animal cruelty and vegetarian eating. Yes, besides being a kind, […]
Yesterday the jury verdict was reached in the case of the murder of Kate Steinle. For those with very short memories, Kate Steinle was killed while walking along the pier in San Fracisco with her father. She was shot by a convicted felon and five times deported illegal immigrant, Jose Zarate, who was in possession […]
