Agreeing with the ACLU

Posted on February 9, 2013 by David Hall

Gun-free zone – a dangerous place to be

Posted on January 8, 2013 by David Hall

One thing that recent mass shootings have hopefully taught us – this idea of creating “gun-free” zones has cost us dozens of lives. I think it would be a good idea if someone prominent in the national media would start … Continue reading →

Posted on January 2, 2013 by David Hall

It’s open season on Wayne LaPierre and the NRA

Posted on December 31, 2012 by David Hall

Posted on December 30, 2012 by David Hall

When Wayne LaPierre made his proposal to have armed security in our schools I thought it sounded like a very sensible proposal, and one the Left would obviously fight. But I underestimated the sheer paranoia that ensued from them. The … Continue reading →

Was Mark Levin partly responsible for John Boehner’s glorious defeat?

Posted on December 21, 2012 by David Hall

Well, to Boehner, his defeat is embarrassing. But to me it is glorious. Last night, in the second hour of his radio, Mark Levin called for a “Levin surge.” He gave out the phone number for the congressional switchboard and … Continue reading →
