VIDEO: Colorado Magazine Ban: Continuous Possession

by Jon Caldara | 9:50 am, March 18, 2013

By now I’m sure you’re aware that the magazine ban, Colorado House Bill 1224, sitting on Hickenlooper’s desk will outlaw most magazines in Colorado. Why? Because most magazines are “readily convertible” to hold more than 15 rounds. But did you know about “continuous possession?” This is another dirty little secret hidden inside HB 1224. Watch [...]

It’s Been a Weird Day in a Good Way: Two Court Rulings Represent Hope for Privacy

by Eileen | 7:06 pm, March 15, 2013

In one day, two major court decisions have put Executive overreach on the defensive and given civil liberty advocates momentum. In California, a federal judge held that National Security Letters, with their built-in gag orders, are unconstitutional. (Decision, here.) Meanwhile, federal courts also reinstated an ACLU lawsuit challenging the CIA’s ‘Glomar’ response of targeted drone [...]

First Thoughts on the Freshly Dead SB 1226

by Eileen | 5:45 pm, March 15, 2013

At PPC, we are just fascinated by the far left.  It’s a macabre fascination, but still, we never tire for long of watching and discussing proggie behavior. And we do try to understand how the moonbats interpret the world around them and how they construct their arguments.  This is actually a worthy hobby for any [...]

Gabby Giffords (Mrs. Mark Kelly) Expands the Definition of Hypocrisy

by Bob Adelmann | 5:05 pm, March 15, 2013

by Bob Adelmann I tried to minimize Mark Kelly’s hypocrisy in my article yesterday, preferring to focus attention on his ideologically absurd position on gun controls. I figured that his hypocrisy of purchasing an AR15 for himself (along with a semi-automatic pistol) while pushing for controls against such ownership by the rest of us had [...]

Colorado House Bill 1224: Magazine Ban Worse Than Advertised

by Jon Caldara | 2:37 pm, March 13, 2013

By now you’ve heard about the magazine ban that’s on its way to the Governor’s desk. But there is something about this bill, HB 13-1224, that you probably don’t know: It bans MOST normal magazines found in normal guns! Watch the video below as I demonstrate how Colorado’s magazine ban is way worse than advertised [...]

Statement on the Allegations Against David Kopel

by Jon Caldara | 3:14 pm, March 12, 2013

The controversy surrounding my Research Director, David Kopel, has grown to the point where I feel I must comment officially. Before I get to the allegations, let me say that I have known Dave for over two decades. I believe him to be a good man. Like all of us, he is not perfect. And [...]

Background Checks REALLY Do Work

by Bob Adelmann | 12:54 pm, March 12, 2013

by Bob Adelmann Far be it from me to disagree with such a worthy as Star Parker, a famed conservative journalist and activist (in a good sense) who often writes at Townhall.com. But her latest on how background checks don’t work, can’t work, and are a complete waste of time, is flat dead wrong. Background [...]

Disingenuous Colorado Democrats Claim Victory in Gun Wars

by Bob Adelmann | 7:35 pm, March 9, 2013

by Bob Adelmann When three Democrats said they were going to side with Republicans on two of the gun bills being debated in Denver, the Democrats pulled them, claiming victory. By pulling the bills that would have included a gun ban on campuses and another holding firearms owners liable for damages, Democrats claimed victory over [...]

This Could be Promising

by Eileen | 5:00 pm, March 7, 2013

I’ve already tossed up a longer post about what’s so very wrong with GOP dinosaurs getting their panties all twisted about yesterday’s filibuster. But here are two hopeful signs. 1. During the filibuster, RNC Chair Reince Preibus publicly urged all Republican members to go to the Senate floor and “help out” 2. Senate Minority Leader [...]
