Thought for the week
A "Liberal Paradise" would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comp-rehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only Law Enforcement has guns. And believe it or not, such a place does indeed exist. It's called prison."

Editorial
9th rules constitutional right to carry concealed
David A. Lombardo
A giant tremor was felt this week in Sacramento, California, and it wasn't from the San Andreas Fault. It was the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals weighing in on, of all things, concealed carry.
Let's face it, the 9th is hardly known as a bastion of conservatism, having taken a hard turn to the left in the 1970s, when President Carter was able to appoint 15 judges.
It was the 9th that found Megan's Law to be unconstitutional, and it was the 9th that struck "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, saying it violated the constitutional separation of church and state.
Yes, I know it was a Nixon appointee who wrote the original opinion, but a conservative judge sitting on the 9th gets liberalism rubbed onto him faster than cooties rub off on a fifth grader.
In all fairness, the 27 sitting judges do have some conservative brethren-Dubya appointed seven himself-but those who criticize the court say the best evidence for their argument is that the Supreme Court overturns the decisions of the Ninth more often than those of any other circuit. Overall the red-meat-eating crowd does not turn to San Francisco's 9th, New York's 2nd or Philadelphia's 3rd circuit court of appeals for support. But I digress.
The tremor felt in Sacramento was the Ninth Circuit holding that the Second Amendment secures a right to carry a gun. In Peruta v. County of San Diego, the court concluded that California's broad limits on both open and concealed carry of loaded guns-with no "shall-issue" licensing regime that assures law-abiding adults of a right to get licenses, but only a "good cause" regime under which no license need be given-"impermissibly infringes on the Second Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense." The Ninth Circuit thus joins the Seventh Circuit and disagrees with the Second, Third and Fourth Circuits.
Meanwhile, out in the hustings, John Q is increasingly turning pro-Second-Amendment as witnessed by a dramatic increase of first-time firearm buyers. This is all the more bolstered by the judicial branch increasingly acknowledging the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for personal protection. And personal protection now firmly encompasses protecting oneself from Jack the Ripper and Emperor Obama.
But John Q, and any court that rules against a liberal sacred cow, is considered unenlightened and worthy of off-handed dismissal, so liberals everywhere are renewing their efforts to make firearm ownership history. It's for the children, of course, because everyone knows those crazy, sociopathic gun-nuts can't be trusted with a firearm. Well, that's nonsense, and here's a clue to all you anti-gun, hippy, pinko, commie freaks: if pro-gun guys were as dangerous as you say we are, there wouldn't be any anti-gun guys still standing.

Black History Month Feature
"Stagecoach Mary" Fields
Mary Fields spent the first 30 years of her life as a slave in Tennessee. While serving the Dunne family, Mary learned to read and write and became close friends with Dolly Dunne, one of the daughters. After the Civil War Mary received an invitation from Dolly to join her in Ohio, where Dolly had become an Ursuline Sister. Mary did not go with Sister Amadeus when she was sent to the Montana Territory to help run a school for Native American girls, but when she received word that Amadeus was sick with pneumonia, she bought a stagecoach ticket to Montana. Mary stayed at the school as a heavy laborer until she was fired for brawling. It was then, at age 60, that Mary Fields became the first black postal carrier of either gender, beating out several men for the job by hitching a team of six horses the fastest. She became known for her reliability to deliver the mail in the harshest weather and against the constant threat of wolf attacks. She always carried a revolver or two under her apron and a 10-gauge shotgun when she was delivering, although she preferred to use her fists against smart-mouthed cowboys in Cascade. Mary delivered the mail thusly for six years in the Montana Territory. |

No guns on gun ban signs?
You can't make up a story like this one. This week's Daily Caller reported that, in response to a law requiring the posting of small "no guns allowed" stickers where the carry of concealed firearms is still banned, some school officials in the Chicago suburbs are deeply troubled over the fact that the signs banning guns actually show a very basic image of, of all things...a gun! The 4-by-6-inch stickers are intended to announce that guns cannot be carried in schools and feature a small picture of a black gun with a red slash through it on a white background. Theresa Nolan, principal of Tinley Park High School, stressed that she is very concerned with "safety and security" and is further concerned that, somehow, someone could wrongly interpret an image of a gun as part of the universal prohibition sign. "It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, 'Hey, folks, leave your guns at home,'" Nolan said. "I think the general public will be alarmed by it and wonder if people have been allowed to bring guns to school in the past." One has to wonder if Nolan thinks the general public, upon seeing a similar "no smoking allowed" or "no dogs allowed" sign, would be alarmed and wonder if people had previously been allowed to smoke or have a dog in the area.

Obama's surgeon general nominee
a radical gun grabber
The president's latest anti-gun maneuver is to nominate a rabidly anti-gun doctor to be the next U.S. surgeon general. Dr. Vivek Murthy is facing Senate approval in upcoming weeks. Dr. Murthy is the 36-year-old president and co-founder of Doctors for America, a group that advocates for Obamacare and gun control laws. The group calls gun violence "a public health crisis." It pushes for Congress to ban "assault weapons" and "high-capacity" magazines and calls for spending tax dollars for more gun-control research. The organization also lobbies for doctors to be allowed to ask patients, including minors, whether they have legal guns in the home. If the patient admits to having guns, Dr. Murthy wants doctors to "counsel them appropriately about safety measures." His spin on Obama's failed effort to pass gun control in the Senate last April was to say, "Signs of progress-we got 20 votes in the Senate in favor of gun violence legislation that we wouldn't have had 1 year ago. Have faith." Mr. Obama's pick for the next "nation's doctor" is purely political. [Source: Washington Times]

US Army purchases
TrackingPoint rifles for testing
Austin, Texas-based TrackingPoint, builder of the Precision Guided Firearm (PGF) systems-also known as "smart" guns-recently announced that it had sold six rifle systems to the US Army for testing. "The military has purchased several units for testing and evaluation purposes," TrackingPoint's chief marketing officer Oren Schauble told Military.com. According to CNBC the Army purchased the fire control systems for possible integration into the XM 2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle. TrackingPoint firearms are also available for purchase commercially but can be very expensive. TrackingPoint's 1000 Series 300T rifle, chambered in .300 Win Mag, retails for around $25,000. Built into the scope of every TrackingPoint rifle is a tiny Linux computer that adjusts for factors such as bullet drop, wind and other environmental variables that can affect a shooter's aim. Shooting a TrackingPoint PGF is as simple as tagging a target, tracking it and firing. The company makes the bold claim that PGF systems can make a novice shooter as accurate as a skilled marksman. The Army reportedly intends on using the newly-purchased PGF systems to compare the performance of dedicated marksmen with more typical soldiers.
