Yesterday I went shooting with some friends and acquaintences, one of whom happens to be a cop (11 years as a detective). I asked him directly about converting semi-autos to full auto. His response was: "If it was easy to convert a semi-auto weapon to a reliable full-auto weapon, half the...

It's ironic that communist countries transformed the Olympics into a "professional" big-money event.

The polls right now tend to be unreliable. Not only are there "undecided" voters, there's also what they call "unknown undecided" voters, which are voters who say they've decided but then change their mind before the election. Both the "known undecided" and "unknown undecided" voters...

Though I've never seen an actual calculation, supposedly about 500 children die each year from accidental shootings. http://www.momlogic.com/2008/08/protect_your_kids_from_guns.php If there are 40 million homes with guns (last number I heard), then there's an accidental child shooting death...

Culture plays a big role. Finland has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world (30 guns for every 100 residents) and one of the lowest gun homicide rates in the world. The same is true throughout northern Europe. Gangs are based upon a culture of fear and violence.

In Southern California, 50% of all homicides and over 70% of gun homicides are gang-related.

Is Gibbs saying that the experts at the IRS are incapable of determining whether or not Romney paid his taxes?

These policy changes took place right before the election. It's an inexpensive way to buy Hispanic votes. I'm sure it will be very effective.

Top Immigration Officials Describe Border Chaos Resulting From Admin's Amnesty Policy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb2_3R6oHSQ Border Patrol and Ice Officials now ordered by the Obama administration to release any illegal alien (including those charged with crimes of violence) who claims...

I've been a supporter of this tax since 1998. Unfortunately, people just don't get it. Opponents say it will be unfair to the poor. Truth is, poor people pay zero tax under this program because of the "prebates." http://www.fairtax.org/PDF/PrebateExplained2012.pdf There are also other...

It's fairly simple to change a semi-automatic weapon to full auto, but if done by an amateur it would jam easily when it heated up. A properly functioning weapon is a balance between load (pressure), heat and lubrication. A professional gunsmith, or someone with a lot of experience, would be...

"From the mid-1980s to 2005, California's population grew by 10 million, while Medicaid recipients soared by seven million; tax filers paying income taxes rose by just 150,000; and the prison population swelled by 115,000."...

Part of the problem with discussions about "gun control" is that it means different things to different people. Ambiguity does not lead to productive conversations. To some people, gun control means gun registration, criminal background checks before purchase, etc. To other people gun...

A scientist with a balanced perspective. The godfather of global warming lowers the boom on climate change hysteria Lovelock still believes anthropogenic global warming is occurring and that mankind must lower its greenhouse gas emissions, but says it’s now clear the doomsday...

Culture determines behavior. Look at places like Finland where there are 32 guns for every 100 people, the 8th highest gun ownership rate in the world. Their gun murder rate is close to zero. Eighty-five percent of gun related deaths in Finland are suicides. The same is true in Switzerland...

Technically, they're not sedated (e.g., with valium), but they're often given anti-anxiety or anti-depression medications. It's a minor but important distinction. Sedating the tiger would make it completely inactive and uninteresting to the viewing public. Tigers in the wild have a territory...

My wife, kids and I went to a 4th of July BBQ at a large public facility. Near the entrance was a sign: "Gun Free Zone." My wife looked at the sign, smiled and whispered to me, "Wow! Doesn't that make you feel safe?" :D

Over ten thousand people are killed by drunk drivers in the US each year. We rarely hear anything about it.

Most large cats in captivity are bored and depressed. Many are on anxiety/depression medication (Prozac, Haldol, Anafranil). They continue to try to escape until the day they die. That's the dirty little secret that zoos and preserves don't want you to know. Large cats need large territories...
