Local gun owners weren�t shy at the Monroeville Convention Center when it came to talking about what they consider gun rights, whether in hunting or the city of Pittsburgh.

The failed state is to post-modernity what the nation-state was to modernity. It�s a recent development that is a hallmark of our age � like a state, but incapable of exercising sovereignty over all of its nominal territory. And while it might sound a little far-fetched, the failed state isn�t just coming to the West. It might already be here.

The 2018 election results in Minnesota brought the Democrats into the majority in the House and kept a Democrat in the Governor�s office. As a result early legislation has carried a decidedly left leaning agenda including the introduction of two bills aimed at gun control � a hot button liberal issue and a staple of the party�s traditional platform. This type of political maneuvering is expected anytime one party or the other gains the voting advantage. Politicians make their living in St. Paul and in order to survive they must appease the voters that put them in office.

One of the most unnecessary and just cruel laws to pass was introduced by Senator Todd Kaminisky (D) who represents part of Long Island was Senate Bill S101A, which effectively allows the state of New York to tell educators they cannot have anyone on the grounds of a public school who is not a resource officer to be armed or possess any firearm. Before that, it was up to the school board to make those decisions.

Farmers who are tired of deer destroying their crops could get a new incentive to let hunters onto their land under a bill in the Nebraska Legislature, but some outdoors groups and state officials aren't thrilled with the idea. The proposal would create special permits for landowners to hunt deer up to a week before the official firearm hunting season starts, if they open at least half of their land to hunters during the regular season.

By the second week of West Virginia deer season, most hunters are inside, out of the bitter mountain cold, and the deer are hunkered down until about one hour either side of daylight. Both deer and hunters know the game is on, and the deer are praying for the worst possible weather which keeps the hunters inside�or at least most of them inside as rifle season comes to close.

There is a classic Looney Tunes cartoon in which Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny argue with Elmer Fudd about whether it is duck or �wabbit� season. Daffy, of course, loses the argument and Elmer�s gun discharges in the duck�s face. In true cartoon fashion, the direct hit was not fatal, but it left Daffy with powder burns, broken feathers and smoke literally and figuratively rising from his head.
