Tom Coburn today at the CPAC convention in a crass display of pandering.[/caption] Mitch McConnell uses a gun to pander to conservatives. His action today was patently offensive given his record.

GIBLIN: Dry firing
by Tim Giblin of Train Illinois (GunsSaveLife.com) - Dry firing is truly a necessity. Very few people have a location where they can shoot near their home anymore.

eBay won’t allow legitimate gun sales, but stolen phone sales are A-OK

How about a national discussion on black violence?
Weerd at Weer'd World would like to have a national discussion, but not necessarily completely about guns. Instead, he's asking for a discussion regarding the disproportionate - massively disproportionate - representation of blacks in crime stats. There seems to be a cultural problem among black families in America. Perhaps there's…
Americans embrace guns!
You can deny reality, but that doesn't make it true any more than it does for a whining three-year-old's temper tantrum. Glenn Reynolds nails it in his USA Today column. "Americans Embrace Guns." This past weekend, the Tennessee Law Review held a symposium on "New Frontiers in the Second Amendment."…
Bigots and idiots self-identify on Facebook
