Look Who Shot Herself in the Foot! (Hint, It’s Evie Hudak)

by | 12:52 am, March 7, 2013

The Denver Post dug up the numbers Evie Hudak was relying on when she made her atrocious criticism of a rape victim who was testifying before the legislature. In short, it’s a 15-year-old study and the actual statistic Hudak alluded to is nowhere to be found in the study. Because it apparently struck her as [...]

DHS Training: Use Scissors to Overpower Mass Shooter [VIDEO]

by | 4:15 pm, February 1, 2013

In the spirit of the Obama & Company gun-grab… The next time you’re caught in a room with an “active shooter” who opens mass gunfire, the Department of Homeland Security wants to ensure you know the difference between”hiding and evacuating” and “cover and concealment.”  If those don’t keep you safe, or if you’re really feeling [...]

Ghosts of Constitutional Debates Past – Part IV

by | 2:38 pm, February 27, 2011

Continuing to work my way through the Debates on the Constitution, at a languid pace, I came to this letter from James Madison to Thomas Jefferson.  Jefferson was, at the time, Minister to France, so had no direct role in drafting the Constitution.  Madison’s main concern in the letter is federalism, and the division of [...]

The Progressives and the Tea Parties

by | 2:59 pm, February 6, 2011

I love essays.  I love the essays of E.B. White and Joseph Epstein.  Some authors who have fine bodies of work in other fields, I know mostly through their essays: Cynthia Ozick and Stephen King come to mind.  They are enough to stimulate, while leaving enough room as an exercise to reader to keep from [...]

Proposed Pawnee Shooting Range

by | 12:59 pm, September 14, 2010

Per a National Rifle Association message I received, the US Forest Service is proposing construction of a shooting range on three acres of the Pawnee National Grassland between Ault and Briggsdale, north of Colorado State Highway 14. The details as I understand them are: 100 yard (rifle) range w/ 8 to 10 shooting positions; Access [...]

The Colorado Supreme Court and the CU gun ban

by | 8:16 am, April 16, 2010

The Colorado Court of Appeals overturned the University of Colorado’s gun ban on campus. (Special shout out to my friend Jim Manley, the lawyer who argued the case on behalf of the good side.)

This is a triumph for freedom.
But the Colorado Supreme Court may undo the victory. No appeal by the university has yet been taken, but it is certainly a real possibility. Given the progressive, anti-constitutional make-up of the Colorado Supreme Court (see Clear the Bench Colorado), one might think a reversal of the Court of Appeal’s ruling – and a reinstatement of the gun ban – would be very likely.
The Colorado Supreme Court, however, understands politics. Four of the worst offenders of legislating from the bench are up for retention election in 2010. Clear the Bench Colorado is an organized effort to educate voters that these justices can, and should, be removed from office. The movement is picking up steam.
If an appeal is taken, and the Supreme Court overturns the Court of Appeals’ decision before the November election, opposition will undoubtedly galvanize at the right time. Reinstating a gun ban before the election would greatly reduce the chances of retention.
The Supreme Court will not, for that reason, announce such a decision at such an inopportune time. However, if it wanted to take some of the steam out of the Clear the Bench movement, might they affirm the Court of Appeals’ decision just before the November election?
Are they that politically motivated? They might be. If they get past 2010, then they are not up for another retention vote until 2020.
Keep an eye out on this one…

Letter To CSU President Dr. Tony Frank

by | 9:56 pm, December 18, 2009

As you may or may not know, the Board of Governors at the Colorado State University, against the vocal wishes of the student body, has recommended to President Tony Frank that the school not allow licensed conceal carry permit holders to exercise their right to carry on campus. Below is my letter to Dr. Frank: [...]

Obama’s Back Door Route to Gun Control

by | 8:21 am, December 14, 2009

Just When You Thought It Was Safe
In the beginning I was willing to give Obama a chance.  Now, I am more and more convinced that he is much worse than simply being the the farthest left Senator in Congress with virtually zero experience at anything other than positioning himself to be president.  He is even [...]

Challenges to Campus Concealed-Carry Bans at CU, CSU will likely end up before Colorado Supreme Court

by | 5:56 am, December 5, 2009

Friday’s vote by the CSU System Board to institute a “weapons control policy” on campus – essentially, implementing a ban on legal concealed carry of firearms by licensed permit-holders – joins a similar ban by the University of Colorado Board of Regents as policies virtually certain to be legally challenged and ultimately decided by the [...]
