I must admit the snakes are having a party inside my head as I try to anticipate what we will get from the Supreme Court tomorrow. I predicted on this blog a while back that the Court would wait until the last possible day to lay this egg. I predicted a 7-2 vote in favor of a D.C. Gun Ban Smackdown. The latter came from my legal sources that read their own tea leaves and not mine. In less than 24 hours we will be able to read the opinion and only then can we begin to speculate what it will mean for America’s gun owners. We can only hope the Justices don’t deliver some convoluted mess that nobody can figure out or one that will require decades of litigation and clarification. Those usually in the know say Justice Antonin Scalia will be authoring the opinion. It’s well known that Justice Scalia is a hunter who is familiar with firearms. Sleeping tonight will be more difficult than for children trying to sleep the night before Christmas. Will we get the present we want or a stocki...

The Supreme Court struck down the death penalty as punishment for child rapists. Louisiana’s, Patrick Kennedy may be a vile baby rapist who deserved to die for his crime against an innocent child. That’s what one court and jury thought so he was sent to death Row. I’m not second guessing those proceedings or result. That won’t happen because of today’s ruling by the Supreme Court. TV pundits like Marc Klass, the father of murder victim Polly Klass were quick to condemn the Supreme Court’s action. Many Americans are really angry about the abolition of death sentences for child rape. We have, and should a strong emotional attachment to our children who are both innocent and trusting. Children deserve and need our constant and vigilant protection. Children are too easily manipulated by either malicious or incompetent adults. Too often child rape accusations begin in bad marriages where one spouse accuses the other of this infamous crime. Today’s Supreme Court ruling in Kennedy vs....

Sorry folks, not today. You should know that the death penalty for child rape that does not result in death was ruled to be a violation of the Eight Amendment. That came down in the case of Kennedy vs. Louisiana Three more cases are yet to be decided by the court including Heller . Those are now expected to be released tomorrow. Here is a tip from my supreme Court source,Jason Harrow, "while it appears that Justice Scalia has the principle opinion in the Guns case, it is not necessarily a majority opinion. It could be a plurality opinion."

The people of the Brady Campaign and Violence Policy Center have harped incessantly that they only seek “reasonable” regulation of firearms. That as they put all of their political might helping the gun-rights hating politicians of the District of Columbia, that want to keep at all cost, the ban on every handgun and any self-defense use of rifles and shotguns. Those weapons must be unloaded, disassembled and trigger locked at all times. The stated Brady mission was to only ask for reasonable regulation in an effort to conceal their real mission of ending all civilian ownership of firearms and any right to self-defense. The Brady Bunch has lamented the decision by the Supreme Court long before it has been revealed. It looks like the Brady Bunch will now have to settle for regulation over the conduct of people misusing firearms rather than the firearms themselves. The days of 100,000 women calling themselves the Million Mom March are over. The Brady Bunch wants this decision to dra...

While I was growing up in Chicago guns were not contraband, and gun registration was neither mandatory nor taxed. The city had many gun stores and sporting goods stores that sold guns. Concealed carry was something the ward organizations doled out, not by a simple permit but with a star and the full police powers of a Cook County Deputy Sheriff. In high school I had my own .22 rifle I carried on a CTA bus on days of ROTC rifle practice. Today that behavior would make any high school kid a national and infamous celebrity. I can remember when you could buy handguns at high end places like Marshall Field’s , and Abercrombie & Fitch subject to the coveted, permit to purchase. Other places selling handguns were Sports Incorporated , on North Broadway and H.H. Harris Gun Shop (Herbie Harris’ place) with a gun range just a few doors South of 1121 S. State St. (the former headquarters for Chicago Police). In early n1968, the gun control movement plastered big posters all over the CTA ...

The commercials are little more than a joke. A couple is at home and in the bedroom when they hear an intruder. Instead of the able-bodied male figure grabbing a gun he slams the flimsy bedroom door cowering behind it. An alert looking call center employee calls and asks if everything is alright. When the male homeowner informs the call center of the intruder the call center fellow says, “Help is on the way!” Everyone is seen smiling. The story ends and everyone lives happily ever after. The reality is the call center has to actually get through to the police and then the police must dispatch officers to the scene. The whole process could take somewhere between ten minutes and an hour. We can only hope the cops will arrive while the bodies of the homeowners are still warm. I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but other than providing an audible alarm the service is worthless. This video is humorous but will show you how to improve your odds of survival. This lady has an audible ...

Most states allow the open carrying of firearms. Texas does not. There is a movement to allow for this questionable practice. I don’t support any government restrictions on law –abiding gun owners in connection to the possession or carrying of firearms. Open carry is fine for hunters, cowboy sports shooters and such. As for open carry in malls, or on public streets I believe it’s dangerous and may invite a breach of the peace. Why give criminals the advantage of knowing you’re armed? In the case of women and strength challenged men you may be inviting a strong armed robbery of your gun. Cops are trained and paid to travel around looking for trouble. Barring an insurrection or law enforcement breakdown citizens should avoid conflict whenever possible. Open carry will bring conflict. Carrying an exposed gun will draw comments and provocation from troublemakers, drunks and mentally disturbed people. This practice should be avoided. If Texas legalizes open carry and they shoul...

He who controls the information controls the world. That old saying has been proven so many times in history. Today in the USA it’s the literate people with computers and Internet access that control most of the information. For most of the last five decades a few TV networks, radio stations and a daily newspaper told Americans what to think and how to vote. The human condition causes people to follow others who become either self-installed or elected leaders. Free speech is the enemy of dictatorships and bad government. The Internet is the ultimate place to learn and exchange information about those things like the government that control or lives. The Internet has done wonder to inform Americans that they have an absolute right to own and carry concealed weapons for self-defense. There can be no question that we have, “Right to Carry” in all but a handful of states because of Internet Activism. Former Presidential candidate John Kerry lost an election to what he says was the Swif...

As the Federal Bureau of Investigation is ready to celebrate 100 years of existence they put up their top 100 cases for history hungry crime buffs. They did leave out their daring Martha Stewart pinch, and that’s a good thing . I think J.Edgar Hoover has rolled over in his grave a few times since his death. That as the face of the FBI has changed from actor Jimmy Stewarts’s image to today’s metrosexual, minority and women of the new bureau who are now in charge. Along with those changes the bureau has been handed additional jurisdiction over common street crimes. Whatever your opinion of the bureau may be their top 100 cases were definitely made for the silver screen. Read about them here !

The Republican Party got hijacked by its Liberal wing and their Presidential contenders turned out to be a sorry bunch. They all had serious Liberal baggage. Rising to the top of that heap of Liberal deadwood was Senator John McCain who consistently gave Conservatives all the wrong answers. McCain was an easy sell to any Conservative that did not know him. His time in the Hanoi Hilton Hellhole qualified McCain as an anti-Communist and Conservative in nearly anyone’s eyes. Those perceptions were very misleading. The problem is that McCain has embraced the Socialist ways of his captors. His Senate votes were never all that different than either Clinton’s or Obama’s. McCain’s answers on Immigration, Gun Control and Campaign Financing are in line with anything but Conservatives. McCain is a tough pill for any real Republican to swallow. I know of no Conservatives that are happy with this aging pretend Republican. The polls I believe are reflecting voters, sans the unhappy Conserva...

Los Angeles, Westwood Village—Film Independent’s Los Angeles Film Festival is here until June 29th. YouTube is here sharing tips and needed information with film makers. To begin, YouTube owes its life to the pornographers that paved the Information Highway with gold for them. Had there not been a huge market waiting to pay in order to see cyber broadcast displays of affection the technology may have been behind a decade or even two. YouTube managed to put themselves out front despite shortcomings and stiff competition. The possibilities for this 800-pound gorilla are endless and the next generation is just beginning. They are unveiling a new higher resolution format to take us out of Data Compression Hell. The new images you’ll be seeing are not the kid stuff of Coke and Mentos fame. They’ve added a remarkable tracking feature that allows you to see the demographics of your audience and the destination your viewers came from. Of all the videos I’ve uploaded mostly for this blog ...

This little tanker holds 9000 gallons of liquid gold . This is truly a hot commodity for any terrorists or armed robbers. This vehicle has a single and guaranteed by law to be unarmed driver. At least that’s the case in California, Illinois, New York, Wisconsin and New Jersey where concealed weapons are non-existent or simply just refused. These drivers must risk their life as they avoid fires and accidents and now the skyrocketing price of fuel will make these drivers marked men. Killers, robbers and terrorists need to know that so many American politicians are looking out for their welfare!

It’s time for Screenings, seminars, friends and lots of fun in Westwood Village. . It’s all here at least through June 26.

Juan Perón : “Dice are rolling - the knives are out. Would-be presidents are all around, I don't say they mean harm, but they'd each give an arm... to see us six feet underground.” That quote from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, Evita could be expected today from Party Nominee, Barack Obama to his wife Michelle when talking about their fellow Democrats. This is the quite before the storm that I expect to erupt during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. The Machiavellian, Second Place Winner did not get a wooden stake driven through her heart and has only suspended her campaign. Mrs. Clinton has legions of people out digging for her and she has or will get the information to sink Obama’s ship. The former First Lady has used the services of Anthony Pellicano the convicted wire-tapper who kept C-4 explosives and at least one hand grenade in his office safe. Pellicano and Mrs. Clinton share the same philosophy, to find out no matter what it takes. Pellicano may be behind ...

correctedchirally - Upload a Document to Scribd Read this document on Scribd: correctedchirally Chicago--Dr. Suzanna Gratia-Hupp is best remembered for her having lunch with her parents at a Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen, Texas when an armed madman crashed his pick-up truck right into the cafeteria and began random executions of innocent people on October 16, 1991. Dr. Gratia-Hupp, a chiropractor and competitive handgun shooter regretfully obeyed the Texas law forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons. Gratia-Hupp’s gun was in her car instead of with her when she needed it most. The result was the gunman was never challenged as he shot 43 people killing 23 including both of Gratia-Hupp’s parents. The carnage finally ended when the crazed killer, George Jo Hennard shot himself dead. None of us can imagine the horror of seeing our own parents savagely slaughtered. Dr. Gratia-Hupp answered her call to duty and became an incredibly articulate speaker ...

Hollywood —Guns are sexy, powerful and contraband for all except spies, police and the military. Of course we want Hollywood’s sexiest stars to sport them for movie posters. Get Smart star, Anne Hathaway seen here is truly a movie babe with a gun. The power of guns, especially hand guns is amazing as the movie makers have demonstrated. A single shot kills nearly every time as the victim is blown over a car and sent crashing into a plate glass window. At least that’s what those talented special effects guys repeatedly demonstrate for us. The truth is the Hollywood’s magic bullets don’t exist and handguns aren’t nearly as effective as most people including gun owners believe. Most gun owners have never been in a shooting or have ever seen anyone shot. In the films special people, like San Francisco police detective, Dirty Harry Callahan and the Death Wish Vigilante, Paul Kersey seem to do more than their fair share of population control or what some call retroactive abortions. ...

More Americans per year are killed by cigarettes, booze and bacon than firearms. It's the gun deaths get the highest possible visibility and redundant news reporting. In recent time the truth about guns and the failure of gun bans to even slow down violence is starting to see light.

With the expected success of D.C vs. Heller in defeating the Gun Ban in our nation’s capital the NRA is setting their sights on vigorous challenges to jurisdictions that violate the gun rights of their citizens. In the best case scenario, jurisdictions like Chicago and New York will read and obey the law of the land without wasting tax dollars trying to enforce laws that have been struck down by Heller. We know from experience that will not be the case. Instead too many politicians will try to stall and delay following the Supreme Court’s edict. Instead they will continue to prosecute gun owners engaged in constitutional protected activity. Those politicians will abuse tax dollars as they fight the very constitution they were sworn to protect. In order to force certain jurisdiction to end handgun bans similar to that of the District of Columbia. Law abiding plaintiffs must be located that have been impacted by guns bans. The fight will continue in courtrooms until the unlawful go...

Phoenix, AZ—Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the middle of a re-election campaign and a firestorm of controversy. Arpaio is steadily rounding up those who dare violate our borders by sneaking into our country. The looney Liberals and open borders people are going nuts with their massive and well publicized campaign to stop the popular Sheriff. I’m not without criticism of this sheriff, I don’t agree with all of his methods or publicity stunts. For the most part I support his aggressive stand on crime and the fact that he’s truly fearless. On the illegal Immigration issue Arpaio is preventing a never ending theft of medical and educational resources from taxpayers. Illegal immigration is exactly why too many Americans don’t have proper health care and our schools are in a mess. The sheriff’s policy also impacts the crime and illegal drug trade which behind poverty are Mexico’s largest exports to our country. The majority of Americans want the mass violations of our borders and the plund...

This morning the Court issued some opinions and D.C. vs. Heller was not one of them. I'm learning that the court may even release Heller a few days later then Monday, June 23, 2008. Let's just hurry up and wait!
