William Penn received a charter from King Charles the Second to found Pennsylvania.  Evidently, the king owed William some money, so in partial payment the king gave the land to him.

Instead of doing like other colonists did and just take over the land, Mr. Penn bought the land from the natives.  This makes Pennsylvania the first and possibly the only state freely sold by the Native Americans.  Penn named Philadelphia from the Greek philos “love” and adelphos “brother” and It has been referred to as the City of Brotherly Love even since.

Liberals have absolutely no common sense when it comes to crime.  Oh, they are quick to call our attention to rising crime rates which incidentally happen to occur in liberal-controlled cities. Read more »

This brings to light a quandary.  On one hand (no pun intended) enhanced marking quantity control would make dogs descended from men.  On the other hand (pun intended) man’s opposable thumb allows us men to adapt and accomplish things dogs cannot do, thus promoting the evolutionary theory that men came from dogs.

The evolutionists will probably praise me for this, but this is probably the only time they will agree with me.  No, I have not given up any of my Christianity, but I have observer first-hand the similarities between male dogs and men.  I am not being sexist and there may be similarities between female dogs and women; I am just not going to go there now.

The Liberals are always calling for more Gun Control.  Everyone except them knows that there has not been a single gun control program that has stopped, or even reduced gun deaths.

Pick any city run by liberals.  Trust me; it’s not hard to pick one, as just about every city with lots of poor people is run by liberals. Look at the gun control measures in place in those cities and you will find the most oppressive laws in the United States.  You will also find the highest percentage of murders per capita.

Our friend, Achmed I’m-A-Dinner-Plate, the Supreme Dufus of Iran, has instituted a plan to “recover” the cost of bullets used to kill protestors.  The Iranian government is charging a $3,000.00 bullet fee in order to have their body released to the families for burial.  One person killed was given a waiver since he was a veteran of the Iran-Iraq War and supposedly was not protesting.

The Brady Bunch (AKA Handgun Control, Inc. and The Brady Campaign to prevent Gun Violence) and the Violence Policy Center (a bunch of lawyers dedicated to the eradication of guns, not gun violence) are shouting louder and louder that gun violence is getting worse.  They use every report of people getting killed by a gun to their advantage and prey upon the victims of the crimes to join them in shameful public displays of emotion to outlaw all gun ownership.

The sad fact is each success they claim in new gun restrictions and outright bans, like outlawing CCW (Concealed Carry Weapons) on college campuses, the more people die when the criminals quickly discover the target-rich gun-free zones where they are guaranteed not to be deterred. Read more »

Assault on Criminals, Not Assault Weapons

The news article started out:

Irvington police launch new anti-crime effort

The tip came in on a Monday: A gun was stashed in a house on 21st Street in Irvington.

The next day, police got a search warrant and confiscated a loaded, military-style assault rifle illegally modified for automatic fire.

“That’s a big .223 round that will go through you and everybody else lined up,” Sgt. Peter Burgess told officers during a recent roll call at Irvington police headquarters.

Since the New Jersey Real-Time News (New Jersey has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation) had this story, I expected this to be heavily anti-gun and a supporting article for more restrictive gun laws.

This story was just ripe for picking up the megaphone and yelling about assault rifles.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

New Jersey, being a liberal state, is loaded with crime experts that will testify all day and night ad infinitum that the guns are killing people.  I personally have never seen a gun kill someone all on its own, but I would venture to bet that no one else has, despite the rhetoric to the contrary.

Irvington Police Director Joe Santiago, known for being a Dirty Harry type of straight-shooting policeman, and statewide director of anti-gang and gun initiatives Jose Cordero have taken the crime bull by the ba…, er, horns and decided to try something new: they are actually going after the criminals!  Imagine that – a director of gun initiatives in a liberal state going after the people who are pulling the triggers.

I wish them much success!

My hat is also tipped to Chris Megerian of The Star-Ledger for the good reporting.

To make matters worse, the major mainstream media has been playing down the fact that a lot of crimes are indeed committed by criminals here in the United States illegally.  Take the famous case of Chandra Levy, whose remains were discovered in a park a year after she disappeared.  She was linked with Representative Gary Condit, who was initially a person of interest due to his alledged sexual involvement with her.

The gun laws in Mexico are even more draconian in Mexico.  A United States citizen was sentenced to 12 years in a Mexican jail for having a single shotgun shell that had wedged itself under the carpeting in the man’s trunk after a season of duck hunting.  The shell was not seen when he cleaned out the trunk and was only discovered by Mexican border police when they searched his vehicle.
