    National Defense Authorization Act - HR 1540

    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...

    HR 822 National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act

    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.

    HR 2900 Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2011

    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...

    HR 2900 Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2011

    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...

    HR 822 National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act

    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...

    Five New Oklahoma Firearm Laws Go Into Effect Today

    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...

    Five New Oklahoma Firearm Laws Go Into Effect Today

    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...

    Herman Cain to deliver keynote address to NRA conference

    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...

    Herman Cain to deliver keynote address to NRA conference

    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...

    Upgrading Speakers in a Ford F250

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

    Upgrading Speakers in a Ford F250

    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...

    OK Senate approves Open Carry-WITH NO LICENSE

    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...

    Oklahoma Use Tax

    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...

    HB1647 Passes House

    My Senator has NEVER responded... and my Representative responded once last year. The Representative before that responded ~95% of the time, even if he didn't agree. Funny thing is... I'm registered Republican (got be able to cast at least one local partisan vote... I'd register Democrat if I...

    What do you do for a living?

    I do website development, meaning I like doing the code more than the design. In fact, if any designers need a design turned into a fully-functioning Drupal theme, give me a call! I also do custom Drupal module development.

    right to work laws

    From the HR legal topic meetings I've passed through (was providing tech support, so I never got to hear the whole thing), it's a lot more complicated than letting an employer fire you for whatever reason. The employer still has to be careful with what inferences can be made. But as for Right...

    HB1647 Passes House

    Basically, you would have to prove that a reasonable man would have a fear of bodily harm in your given situation. Some proponents of the bill with the way it is written have claimed that lawyers say that citing the local crime rate would be sufficient. However, anyone who has looked at cases...

    What do you like to do when your not surfing BS or shooting your toys?

    Most of the time, I'm running my website development business. I don't call it work because I thoroughly enjoy it. That's probably because I'm in a unique situation in that I don't have to take every client that comes along or fill every hour to pay the bills... I can choose who I want to work...
