“He did not deserve to die this way. It’s such a tragedy that my husband was murdered in cold blood,” she said, though it remained unclear if she had seen the video of the shooting. [More]

Defense Against Carjacking by Armed Security Highlights Sotomayor’s Elitism on Guns

It’s good that Sotomayor’s security was able to defend themselves and repel a predator. It’s inexcusable that she won’t admit she has been wrong about our right to do the same. [More]

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

An Effective Combination

For the crime of running a huge survey on defensive gun use in the U.S. that was not forced into the narrative structure of today’s gun-control activism, William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, has been subpoenaed, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried in order to, as he put it in The Wall Street Journal, “warn off other academics thinking of doing similar research, and to influence courts where states are losing on the merits.” [More]

More Than Meets the Eye?

A homeowner in Oakland was arrested after shooting and killing a robbery suspect. The 77-year-old homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. [More]
