Mexican reporter asks, why don’t you just veto the second amendment?

By Jim Vicevich / March 4, 2011 /

Hey, this question wouldn’t surprise me if it were asked by an American reporter. Still it was great just to see the President have to defend the second amendment. You have to wonder though if he was thinking the same thing?

Biden won’t let Obama take his guns – or ours

By Steve McGough / September 20, 2008 /

My first thought when I heard about Biden’s statement concerning firearm ownership was – I’ll bet my last dollar he was not in San Fransisco, Seattle, Chicago or New York. No way. Biden stated, “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey.” Biden spoke at the United Mine Workers…

The history of the 2nd Amendment

By SoundOffSister / January 26, 2013 /

Hopefully you are not on such a 2nd Amendment “overload” that you won’t read this. While we often speak of the Heller decision and the McDonald decision, lost in the shuffle is the Nordyke decision.

N.J. Democrat: How about $500 per year to exercise 2nd Amendment rights?

By Steve McGough / September 29, 2010 /

Pathetic. Disturbing. Unreal. It’s already totally unacceptable the state of New Jersey severely restricts residents concerning their 2nd Amendment rights, but now a New Jersey state legislator suggests – for $500 per year – the state would reconsider their opinion. They think they can generate tax revenue through the scheme.

Guns Don’t Kill People … They Help People Stop Home Invasions

By Jim Vicevich / February 11, 2009 /

OK … not exactly the way the phrase goes … but I could add 10 more stories I know of just like this. Owning a gun is your 2nd amendment right. It is also your responsibility to learn to handle a firearm safely and correctly. But if you take the time to learn, train, and…

Hartford Courant OpEd: 2nd Amendment does not include “assault rifles”

By Steve McGough / February 10, 2016 /

In an opinion piece published in the Hartford Courant today by Noah Feldman, a constitutional law professor at Harvard, Feldman outright states the 2nd Amendment does not include assault rifles. His reasoning comes down to this*, with my emphasis. … there’s something special about weapons that can be used both for self-defense and for militias … those…

Topic for tomorrow: 3D Printed Guns

By Steve McGough / May 6, 2013 /

On the big radio show tomorrow, one of Jim’s topics will be 3D printers and the ability to “print” a lower receiver for a rifle, as well as various sized magazines and even a pistol. Watch the documentary before the show!

Mayor Bloomberg’s gun control stupidity on full display

By Steve McGough / January 2, 2013 /

I was traveling when this ABC interview was done with New York Cities Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It’s completely full of fail for the gun control mayor. I’ve referred to his “stupidity” in the headline, but I’m more likely to think he knows exactly what he’s talking about and he’s speaking to the low-information crowd who…

A challenge for Michael Lawlor, Conn. governor’s undersecretary of criminal justice

By Steve McGough / September 2, 2012 /

On or about Aug. 17, Michael Lawlor, the undersecretary of criminal justice for Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy stated that in almost every case he could imagine, carrying a firearm openly in Connecticut would be “almost by definition a breach of peace.” He’s totally wrong.

Two 2nd Amendment cases provide right-to-carry victories in Maryland and Colorado

By Steve McGough / March 6, 2012 /

In Woollard v. Sheridan, a Maryland judge ruled the plaintiff did not have to prove “good and substantial reason” to carry. In Students for Concealed Carry on Campus v. Regents the state Supreme Court unanimously ruled Colorado’s 2003 Concealed Carry Act entirely preempts the University of Colorado’s power to prohibit licensed carry.
