Responsible gun owners are no threat 


It continues to boggle the mind how some people, especially Liberals, keep trying the same-ole, same-ole while expecting different results. Wasn"t it Einstein who said that was the height of stupidity or something similar? Look, law-abiding people do not break laws, while criminals ignore laws. Hard data, from which statistics are derived, show that citizens with concealed carry permits are FAR less likely to commit crimes than sworn police officers. 


I can understand the fear some have concerning people carrying guns into court rooms, but those who carry legally are least likely to do something "stupid," while those who carry illegally don"t give it a first thought, let alone a second one. In highly emotional cases, divorce, custody, etc., that last thing a person legally carrying would do is start a gunfight. We respect the laws and have no desire to see more laws restricting our rights. 


I"ll bet the farm that every single one of these "mass murderers," aka cowardly killers, was not a member of the NRA nor had a permit to carry concealed. So why do Liberals think enacting new laws restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens will make anybody safer? Recently an armed citizen most likely saved two lives, that of a woman a knife-wielding ex-con had attacked and the teenager who came to her rescue. Would you rather this madman have hacked the both of them to death? I"ll also bet that you"ll never see or hear about this on national news media because it doesn"t fit their agenda. 


Common sense seems to be nonexistent when it comes to guns and Second Amendment rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Politicians need to concentrate on doing what"s right for America in the short and long terms, and forget about doing what will get them re-elected for another term feeding at the government trough.

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armor remains undiminished in “Johnny English Strikes Again.” As this sequel begins, Jo

What can we learn from the people Trump has pardoned so far?

Image
T he presidential pardon has never been a particularly fair or impartial instrument of government – it’s effectively circumventing the judicial system at the whim of whoever is in office. Democratic and Republican presidents have offered pardons to those on their side of key issues, and in some cases (Bill Clinton’s pardon of former Democratic congressman Mel Reynolds on federal fraud charges, for example) pardons have been given to political allies with little wider moral justification. Some presidents, including George W Bush and Barack Obama, have relied more on the pardon attorney’s office to recommend who to grant clemency to and have been less personally involved, although the pardons given still tend to reflect the sitting president’s wider politics. On Wednesday, Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who has spent over 20 years in prison for non-violent drug crimes. It’s the sort of pardon decision previous presidents might well have mad
