		<description><![CDATA[It is unsafe to live in San Francisco, especially at the sheriff’s house.
In this city known for institutionalized corruption, citizens rarely blink over common City Hall scandals. But when the newly elected pro-gun-control sheriff has his personal firearms confiscated while being saddled with an emergency protective order separating him from his wife and kid, even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is California an intellectually backward state?
The amalgamated mindset of the Golden State views itself as progressive, leading, positively superhuman.  For California to fall behind 82 percent of the nation on any topic, especially one where the lives of its citizens are concerned, makes thoughtful folk reevaluate state-wide sensibilities.  For California to be clueless, to [...]]]></description>

Today’s example of how coincidence comically collides comes in part from the Clueless California Caliph, Senator Dianne Feinstein.  After a small handful of occasionally antique American firearms were found in Mexico, Dianne declared “It is unacceptable [...]]]></description>

Seems whenever proponents of gun control – the perpetually confused and fearful critters that they be – watch law and society move against them, they predict Armageddon.  When America had only ten states allowing people to carry concealed firearms, and Florida had the Audacity to Hope to Change that, every anti-freedom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the gun control industry.  They’re more predictable that a politician lying.
(Speaking of which, I’m enjoying the sweet sound of silence now that John Edwards has mysteriously shut-up)
Whenever laws are loosened, the gun control industry predicts bloodshed in the streets.  I witnessed such first hand in Florida and later Virginia when those states respectively [...]]]></description>

In and around the nation&#8217;s capital today, Jews were targets, in literal and metaphorical senses.  At the Holocaust Museum an aging bigot with an old squire rifle shot a security guard.  It was a senseless act by someone so consumed with hatred that his [...]]]></description>

This is why drugs are cheap and drug profits remain higher than drug users.
