Girls with Guns

She's not very safe, but damn she makes up for it with hotness.

It's not politically correct, but it's damn hot. Except for the gill-like tats on her back.

The Liberal Case for Gun Ownership

The Terrierman laid out an excellent case for why gun ownership and gun rights advocates should never be confined to a single party, but rather should be embraced by every American.

The Liberal Case for Gun Ownership

. . . The old liberals know the value of guns.

They know that after the Civil War, southern whites denied blacks the right to own guns, because it was easier to lynch an unarmed black man than it was one who owned a deer rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition.

Some gay Americans have discovered this secret knowledge as well. As Jonathan Rauch wrote in Salon magazine back in March of 2000:

"Thirty-one states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible."

If this sounds like Revolutionary talk, it is. It is the kind of language our revolutionary Founding Fathers might have used if they were gay and living in America today. . . .

Mark Vanderberg's Gun Rights Advocates Podcast (download it here) a few weeks ago featured a reading of the entire blog post. Truly, it was awe-inspiring and brought tears to my eyes at one point.

We need to help everyone realize that just like the 1st Amendment where people may not agree with what is said when others exercise their rights, they still, for the most point, support people's rights to exercise them.

It should be exactly the same way with the 2nd Amendment.

Armed Gays Don't Get Bashed!

U.S. Most armed country in the world

From Reuters

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said.

U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.

About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said

"There is roughly one firearm for every seven people worldwide. Without the United States, though, this drops to about one firearm per 10 people," it said.

This is great news, but unfortunately 9/10 people in the U.S. aren't gun friendly patriots.

Harvard study confirms More guns = Less Crime

Once again American Universities are playing catch up with common sense, but it's still refreshing to see studies that confirm what we already knew.

From: CFIF.ORG

Very simply, the ability of law-abiding citizens to possess firearms has helped reduce violent crime in America.

Now, a Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy study shows that this is not just an American phenomenon. According to the study, worldwide gun ownership rates do not correlate with higher murder or suicide rates. In fact, many nations with high gun ownership have significantly lower murder and suicide rates.

In their piece entitled Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide? A Review of International and some Domestic Evidence, Don B. Kates and Gary Mauser eviscerate "the mantra that more guns mean more deaths and that fewer guns, therefore, mean fewer deaths." In so doing, the authors provide fascinating historical insight into astronomical murder rates in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and they dispel the myths that widespread gun ownership is somehow unique to the United States or that America suffers from the developed world's highest murder rate.

It's great to hear this coming from Harvard Law. I'd recommend printing it out, reading it, highlighting a few passages and slip it in a catalog envelope with a letter and send it off to your Congressmen and Senators explaining that this is one of the many reasons why you support less restrictions on gun ownership.
