By Steve McGough / December 9, 2008 /

I wrote this post for Radio Vice Online, and am crossposting here. … Maybe we should include a feature called “Second Amendment Tuesday” here on the blog and the radio show. There are quite a few stories that have popped up during the last couple of weeks concerning boisterous buying at our local Second Amendment…

San Francisco mayor blames NRA for triple homicide

By Steve McGough / July 22, 2008 /

I’m questioning future visits to San Francisco until this idiot Gavin Newsom is out of office.

David Kopel who writes for Volokh Conspiracy has a great article in The New Ledger concerning the over-reaction of the anti-carry crowd who think national parks will soon be unsafe for humans. Earlier this week Congress passed, and President Obama signed, a law that would allow residents who have a valid pistol/carry permit for a…
