Apparently I should have specifically added "immoral" or "unlawful" violence. Are you arguing however that our modern soldiers are now more prone to unlawful or immoral violence than say in Vietnam due to their video games exposure? My argument is that a properly healthy/ordered and trained...

It's not the games in themselves, it's the weakness in composition of individual character and psychology. Some of that is just the particulars of the construction of an individual brain, and some of that is the parenting provided. A healthy brain well parented is not going to be driven by...

It should not preemptively and publically change ratings for actions that have not occured. It should however make it very clear to legislators how their votes will be reflected in future ratings, and what implications that may have for future NRA support. For those that vote yes on more...

If the republican party were specifically a constitutionalist party aware of the long march effort to curtail civillian gun ownership, yes. It generally isn't however, so don't expect that to happen. People need to remember that Reagan spoke out against private ownership of modern rifles...

Gun control is not about public safety, it's about reducing the total population of guns and gun owners over time. The proponents of the recent measures admitted this repeatedly. Not to say that reminding non-dogmatic folks that these laws won't help is a bad idea. It's just an excellent...

The founders specifically did not want to get into the business of calling out any rights for fear it would lead to what you mention in the latter half of your sentence, and the bulk of many arguments against the 2nd amendment such as: "gun ownership is only protected if you're in the national...

If our society can continue to discover any number of civil rights not specifically called out in the bill of rights (as the founders intended), we need not be hampered by any limitation in a provision intending to protect the right of the people to defend themselves, nor twists in surrounding...

AR15 is a light weight, easily controllable option for situations where lethal force is justified that is in common use with lots of options for ergonomics and rounds available appropriate to home defense. True that prosecutors will try to demonize someone for using it, but they successfully...

key reason many sheriffs oppose it is it removes some of their option to arbitrarily infringe on people's rights protected in article 26 of the alabama constitution without due proccess. I sometimes wonder to what degree racism motivates their opposition. These laws will cause no new problems...

New York's laws in this regard are immoral and clear violations of the individual human right to self defence. Until enough people recognize this and speak out for change, people will continue to be punnished for doing what is right in terms of defending themselves and their property. I would...

he has repeatedly stated that fully automatic rifles are on our streets and need to be regulated. He can not be unaware that this is false.

I can sympathize with this but the time is certainly upon us where we must decide whether to refrain from presently lawful and legitimate activity simply out of fear of future oppression and hopes of an enhanced ability to lurk around unharmed in such a society if it comes to pass, or to stand...

Personal philosophy is to do nothing that would impare my situational awareness, decision making, reaction time, or precision while carrying. Defense of lethal force use if ever warranted or needed would only be complicated by any involvement with alchohol, no matter how small the quantity...

I have some misgivings about the application of the term "stubborn" here. I'm sure many would characterize me as stubborn in my support of the right of the people to keep and bear arms, their right to keep arms of military character, and the applicability of this to the strengthening of the...

Market based demand outsripping supply is not gun control. Legislative regulation of supply, procurement, or ownership is.

If Bastiat were alive today, and were to write an updated version of "That which is seen, and that which is not seen", he might very well address the angst over the violence which is seen in the presence of a right to keep and bear arms, by exploring "that which is not seen" in terms of violence...

I keep several types of action/caliber for educatiomal purposes, but I emphasize certain platforms for specific uses and regular practice.

Consider how nearly every electronic doodad gets hacked / unlocked across the spectrum. I'm just saying don't be suprised when "smart" guns end up presenting no meaningful barrier to abuse. If someone wants a gun that only works in their hand and are willing to pay for the technology and face...

A gun is a compact device that is highly mechanical in operation. Whatever circuitry is included, it's primary output will be to enable/disable the mechanical. All one needs to do circircumvent whateve logic has been wired in so enable is always "True". Consider Bunny Huang's work hacking the...

I guarantee hacking a gun to circumvent electronic protections will be a trivial excersize. It will not affect criminal guns. Good weapon control and storage practices by owners are the correct answer to other problems of unintended access. It is rare for a defender's gun to be taken from...
