So far at least, Governor Pritzker and the Illinois State Police (ISP) have remained mum about Tom DeVore’s named individual plaintiffs buying and/or selling popular self-defense guns and the magazines that feed them. It makes sense that if Pritzker and the ISP think that guns purchased during “Freedom Week” are…

Just as an armed society is a polite society, a disarmed society is an impolite society.  At least when it comes to young toughs who don't care about the rule of law, others peoples' property or their safety.  Enter some half-wit sociopath named Mizzy in Great Britain.  He's a one-man…

Congrats Illinois!  We made the headlines at ZeroHedge again.  This time for last Saturday's "flash mob" of 400 young, primarily black males rampaging through the families at a weekend carnival.  We covered it Monday in Another weekend, another ‘flash mob’… this time in Tinley Park.  Well, the good folks at…

Most normal Americans support the police. It’s how a dozen or fifteen on-duty cops can police a county of 100,000 people. What’s more, if a lone cop is losing a struggle for his life, good Samaritans will often step in to help, especially outside of bigger cities. For instance, recall…

Has it occurred to you why the Illinois State Police is all bark and no bite on the new gun ban passed into law on January 10th? When it comes to citing gun shops for receiving banned guns and magazines, the ISP have conspicuously chosen not to make any arrests…

NBC5 was one of the only Chicagoland media outlets reporting on how authorities in Tinley Park cancelled the last half of their weekend carnival.   A Saturday "flash mob" of 400+ hooligans and thugs ran wild through the parking lots, fighting with one another and anyone who looked at them crossways. …
