Securing your home is about one thing: never leave a potential point of entry without any kind of hindrance to an intruder. It is impossible to make your home 100% secure, meaning someone with enough determination will find a way to break in and cause some mayhem, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get very [...]
Today while out on my lunch break, I stopped by the Wal-Mart Supercenter that is a couple miles from where I work. I keep a stock of soda in my desk, and running low, I stopped there to pick some up as they were only a mile further than HyVee with lower prices. While in [...]
Madam Representative Giffords, One thing I find incredulous, if not insulting, is the constant assertion by you, your husband, and other gun control proponents that the "gun lobby" is somehow acting in abeyance of the will of the people. But before continuing with this response to your recent opinion piece in the New York Times, [...]
Today in the Senate, seven (7) amendments were introduced for Reid’s gun control bill, S. 649 – the "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013". Three of the amendments were introduced by Democrats, the other four by Republicans. All of them were rejected. The votes were, by amendment number (60 votes needed to pass): Amendment [...]
A lot of people in recent months have become quite attentive to the government’s actions and are questioning a lot of what the government is doing. This is certainly good.

Gun rights supporters can definitely breathe a sigh of relief. The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 bill introduced by Senator Feinstein is out of the picture. For now.

I ask a simple question, and I get a form letter in response that is more evasive than anything else. All I asked is how she’ll be voting on Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban bill. Simple yes/no question. Jesus Christ… * * * * * Dear Mr. Ballard, Thank you for contacting me regarding gun control [...]
Madam Senator McCaskill, As you are likely aware, Senator Feinstein’s bill, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013, has been recommended to the full Senate for a floor vote. Can I count on you to be a “No” vote on that bill? Please bear in mind that the current market for firearms and ammunition shows clearly [...]
Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 has passed the Senate Judiciary Committee and will be brought to a floor vote. I didn’t have any doubts about it passing the committee. The Democrat members of that committee read like a "Who’s Who" on gun control in the Senate. However passing the full Senate isn’t so cut [...]
The Vice President recently held an online town hall organized by Parents Magazine. One participant asked how he can reconcile an assault weapons ban against the guns already in the hands of criminals. The implication here is that gun control laws only inhibit the law-abiding, not the law-evading. The Vice President’s response is right out [...]
