http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/10/25/MNGTFFDK8P1.DTL San Francisco County needs to get a new sheriff, one who will issue permits to women like the woman in this sad story. The current sheriff has only issued ten permits, presumably all of them to judges (etc)...

They don't even make an effort to have journalistic objectivity: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4371120.stm and yet they managed to make some good statements: That's right! And: The logic is so clear, how can an intelligent writer for the...

Just a little hypothetical question. I have a shotty for HD use, and that's nearly the best thing there is, but was thinking about how/if a bow could be used for HD. Again, no need because given a choice between a bow and a 12ga, I'll take the 12ga, but: First problem: the bow needs to be...

Sounds like what's happening in Louisiana right now, except that women don't have hairpins anymore. When and where was it? San Francisco, after the quake of 1906: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/09/11/INGVKEKE2K1.DTL Even a hundred years ago, long before the days of...

Ok, here's a question. We know from video footage that some of New Orlean's finest have been involved in looting. Now we are finding that they are entering houses without warrants, and finally they are disarming residents without authority, and detaining residents without authority. It seems...

What do you think of this? http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/09/07/national/a140412D61.DTL I find it appalling. What's the point of me owning my home if someone can come and tell me that I have to leave? I understand that it's under martial law, and from what I understand...

One interesting thing is that it seems like guns are treated the same way in all the Confucianist societies: almost 100% ban. The Confucianist societies are: PRC, Taiwan, the Koreas, Japan and Singapore. I haven't done research on the exact laws, but it seems like in all these countries, guns...

W's latest triumph is disgusting. They're spending almost a billion dollars building highways in Alaska. They're building massive bridges from nowhere to nowhere in the wilds of Alaska. This is one of the most pork-ladden bills I can ever remember. Why does anyone, from any party, tolerate...

Ok, we know two things about Europe: a) gun rights are in a sorry state over there and b) what happens over there will have some effect on what happens over here. These two combined lead me to think that it's important for us to improve the gun rights situation in Europe. The question is, how...

The latest hysteria is that 50 BMG rifles could be used to take down jetliners. For example: http://www.50caliberterror.com/ There was a thread a while back where I analyzed what I thought were the risks, and concluded that a 50 cal "sniper" rifle could not effectively shoot down a jetliner...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/21/AR2005072101385.html I personally can come up with a much more direct, proven, effective plan to end rape. It does not rely on any public campaigns, prosecutions, or anything else. I'm sure Makarovs (or whatever) can be had for...

That's my reaction to today's bombing in London. Trillions of dollars flow out of Western economies into the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and the poppy fields of Afghanistan. Some of that money comes back into our countries in the form of bombs. We shouldn't be entangled with these people and...

Has anyone here thought about joining HCI / The Brady Campaign / Million Mom March groups? I'll lump them all in together and call them HCI, because I think they have all basically merged. The main website is: http://bradycampaign.org/ My thought is this: HCI (including all the partner...

As has been discussed here previously, we have two bills that are "in play" in California which would amount to a de facto ban on handgun ammo (including 22lr). Obviously our legislators aren't listening. Der Guv might listen, and help us out with a veto, or he might not. But we have some...
