ZOMG! ANOTHER PERSON OUT HERE IN THE DIRT! (what sticks?) Welcome!

DOJ already says that you are a suspected terrorist if you are missing fingers, have "weatherproof" ammo, or have more than 7 days' worth of food in your possession - at least according to Rand Paul's floor speech the other day. I have not independently verified his claims. It should be noted...

I don't have any inside information, but I would bet that there was a lot of pressure to pass it "untainted" by a certain lobbying group.

That's exactly why the Due Process route was taken, and why the "longstanding prohibitions" part was accepted. It creates more opportunity for Second Amendment litigation. Now the question is what level of scrutiny is required. Odds are that it will be heightened or intermediate scrutiny...

Shouldn't incorporation of the Second Amendment already do that? Oh yeah - "longstanding prohibitions" are "presumptively Constitutional" - DC v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008); McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025, (2010) All infringements against the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, other than the...

First and foremost, this is one of the many reasons that I refuse to support the National Rifle Association. This is another one of their exercises in ensuring that the Second Amendment is always threatened so that they have a reason to continue to exist. If the NRA hadn't pushed so hard for...

Already against the law, but this adds a second charge - something Oklahoma is very fond of. See: doors on a house or room that a felony takes place behind and impedes officers. This. Like I said, that was my favorite that actually passed. Also note that you are allowed to request permission...

It's November 1. Expansion of use of deadly force in a place of business (arguably unnecessary, but more clarity is generally better when it comes to the law) Authorization for federal attorneys to carry Authorization for retired district attorneys to carry Another charge to stack in an...

And, he wants it re-read using his interpretation which ignores the fundamental principle of Separate of Church and State. And while I agree with him on defunding Planned Parenthood (as I believe that the federal government should fund NO private entities), I don't agree with his reasoning...

This. I consider the popular catchphrase nowadays of "Constitutional Conservative" to be an oxymoron. Conservatism does not regard the Constitution as the supreme document governing the United States of America. Conservatism is about preserving traditions, not about promoting freedom...

Those speakers I mentioned are the cleanest available. If I had the cash, I'd install them in my F-150 in a heartbeat.

The factory head unit is actually pretty good. If you're looking for subs, be a real man and get some Aurasound 12's. Kicker and Rockford Fosgate both suck compared to these. If $500 each (sans box) is a little out of your range, Peerless is still pretty dadgum good at ~$200 per driver. The...

HB1647 can still be amended in the Senate. SB129 can still be amended in the House. It can be amended in committee next Wednesday, or it can be discharged to the floor through a discharge petition. Failure to recommend an action is not a final action. And of course, ANY bill out of committee...

SB129 failed the House Public Safety Committee 8-9.

As a business owner, they have me filing a monthly report that says $0 on it. How did I get into that mess? I applied for a sales tax permit to expand my revenue sources into dropshipping. The good dropshippers won't do business with you without one. However, OTC denied my application because I...
