    liberal ding-dongs

    Thank you for the reference. Cook and Ludwig review studies conducted by others - not the DoJ - regarding estimates of defensive gun uses. While Kleck and Gertz estimate that there are between 1.5 to 2.5 million and defensive gun uses each year, I find it hard to rely very much on that...

    It would be even better had the Department of Justice actually conducted such a study.

    Quotes made by the writers of the constitution that are pro self-defense...

    Adams' 18th Century style sounds odd and maybe confusing to our ears. He is saying that privately-owned weapons in the hands of citizens to be used at individual discretion undermines the rule of law and enjoyment of liberty. It is anarchy. He makes two exceptions: self defense and by...

    Welcome new members, and antis w/ questions

    I want to recommend _Armed: New Perspectives on Gun Control_ by Gary Kleck and Don B. Kates (Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, 2001). This book is in-depth and scholarly without being abstruse. It avoids polemics and personal attacks on antis while devastating their arguments with withering...

    Quotes made by the writers of the constitution that are pro self-defense...

    Completely lifted out of context. The full quote is as follows: "To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the...

    Good point made by anti- for once.

    Here in Texas we can carry into public buildings - including police stations - with very few exceptions, e.g., courthouses. That's not why I support concealed carry by law-abiding adults. I carry to protect myself and my loved ones, not to "make society safer."

    ''That'' sculpture - b4 & after!!

    Ask Kofi Annan what kind of small arms his bodyguards carry. Back when I played Ghost Recon, I would design missions where the one mission objective was to terminate a general named "Coffee Banana." His guards were, armed, of course, with a certain brand of submachine guns.

    Man chases down suspect auto theft, is criminally charged

    Yes, but restrictions apply. A lot will hinge on what the officer believed when he was in pursuant. A few years ago some guy killed a repo man and walked because he managed to convinced a grand jury that he believed that the repo man was a car thief. It will be interesting to see how this...

    That MoveOn Ad Morphing Bush into Hitler? Some Links...

    MoveOn.org did not sponsor ads on its website which compare President Bush to Hitler http://moveonvoterfund.org/smear/release.html A lot of unscreened thoughts and pictures are posted here on thehighroad.org, but that does not mean that they are sponsored or endorsed by Oleg Volk, right...

    Yeah, I do that, too, from time to time, but I also enjoy sharing it with my fellow EBG-owners just for sheer yuck value.

    Another Wal-Mart story.....

    It's true. In his resume he emphasized his skills in sales, marketing, customer due diligence, logistics, etc, that he developed while running his mutlinational enterprise. I believe The Wall Street Journal ran a story about it.

    For the NRA, probably a hundred million reasons why. http://www.nealknox.com/alerts/msg00185.html Usually translated into English as "assault rifle."

    silly gun-banners crack me up again

    Gun-banner ignorance is a source of endless amusement for us - or rather, it would be were not the stakes so high. They consistently make the most ludicrous errors that are obvious to those of us who know something about firearms. We all know that they confuse machine guns with semi-automatics...
