Mayor Bloomberg great for NRA and gun sales

NYC Mayor Bloomberg's obsessive hate of guns and the Second Amendment has largely backfired. This is consistent with his general approach of making government a super-Nanny.  With his $ and connections, he is one of the most dangerous politicians in the nation when it comes to freedom.  Fortunately, many of his Nanny government schemes have not made it (e.g. ban on large sweet drinks) 

U.S & Mexico's Drug Cartels: Part of the problem or part of the solution?

We all know that the voracious appetite of U.S. residents for illegal drugs is the main reasons why the cartels in Mexico are so powerful. Don't these druggies feel some guilt about all the innocent people and honest cops and military personnel in Mexico who are murdered by cartels? Who are these moral idiots who feel their drug habit is more important than the lives of innocent Mexicans? In addition to inexcusably providing weapons (via BATF), DEA has helped launder millions of dollars in cartel money. Looks to me like the U.S. is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Are some of our federal law enforcement agencies out of control? Arguably, some, including BATF have been out of control for decades (e.g. see Kopel and Blackman, "No More Wacos." Of course don't forget Ruby Ridge.

Mexicans also angry about BATF's Opn Fast & Furious

Glad to see that at least some folks in Mexico are beginning to see that they are the primary victims of BATF's idiotic Operation Fast and Furious!

You should at least sign up for their e-mail alerts. They have just released a short video on widespread campus censorship of protected student speech about guns. An example is the opposition "empty holster" protesters have faced. LINK
