Cats, Guns, and National Security

This article is offered to illustrate the tidal change on gun politics in America in the last 20 years.  It is not offered here to deny Obama's anti-gun agenda.  It is not offered here to say stricter laws could not possibly come into force.  Rather, it is offered to show how, legally and politically, gun possession is safer than at any time since the 1960s.  That is why, though the NRA must be supported and the battle must still be fought, we can nonetheless concentrate on national security ahead of gun rights.  That is to say, we could--if need be--support Obama over Ron Paul and not worry so much about Second Amendment rights.    Indeed, Ron Paul's administration would lead to the LOSS of gun rights.  Islamic Shariah law forbids arms to non-Muslims, and there is tremendous anti-gun sentiment in the European Union, the UN, etc.  So regardless of whether the sheetheads or the liberals took over the country after a Ron Paul decimatio...

John Bolton Published July 24, 2012 FoxNews.com Interesting line from the article:   [W]e still do not know whether Iraq's Saddam Hussein, before his 2003 overthrow, sent CW assets into Syria, as unconfirmed reports indicated. If such Iraqi CW stocks exist in Syria, their current locations are unknown.   I remember those reports from even before OIF was launched.  Imagine the American domestic political implications if the current crisis gives rise to even a serious solid  hint that this was the case.  Ron Paul and Alex Jones would go ape shit!

Hood report "cites political correctness" Dear Lee, We have maintained from the beginning that a top-down culture of political correctness in the military made possible Nidal Hasan's jihadist attack at Ft. Hood. Last week, a new report that investigated how the FBI handled the run-up to the Ft. Hood massacre suggests "political correctness" played a role in decisions the FBI made regarding Hasan. See the Fox News story below. ACT! for America has contact with many current and former FBI field agents who express, off the record, their concerns about a climate of top-down political correctness at the FBI. You can see this climate at work in the FBI's rewrite of its counterterrorism training materials. It's refreshing to see a report that actually identifies political correctness as a problem. Fort H...
