"Two things that those on the far left who support big government cannot abide by are private gun ownership and homeschooling � and largely for the same reason."
"... perhaps some people might roll their eyes and say former NRA presidents must feel an uncontrollable urge to think everything should somehow equate to supporting gun rights."
"But it's a fair statement to say those on the liberal end of the spectrum oppose both gun ownership and homeschooling for the same reason:"
"There are core values in common between gun ownership and homeschooling. ... those who think big government is the solution to every problem cannot accept it."
"They both tend to lessen your dependence on government." ... |

"Reacting to questions from reporters about how to prevent future outrages like the murders ... at Virginia Tech ... Texas Gov. Rick Perry dispelled any notion that common sense has been eradicated by political correctness in the United States."
"Perry's sensible solution: Allow legally armed citizens to carry their defensive firearms anywhere -- schools, restaurants, churches. Perry correctly asserted that so long as such areas are legislated as 'gun-free zones,' killers who don't care about the law will enjoy risk-free opportunities in which good people cannot fight back."

"'The inhabitants of the United...States are entitled to have arms of any kind in their possession for their protection and legitimate defense, except such as are expressly forbidden by law, or which the nation may reserve for the exclusive use of the army, navy or national guard; but they may not carry arms within inhabited places without complying with police regulations.'"
"Does that proclamation sound plausible? ... Most people would take that to mean that they could legally own a gun, particularly for self-defense purposes. But they'd be wrong. Completed, the first line of the aforementioned clause actually reads 'The inhabitants of the United Mexican States�' The statement is Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution." ... |

... "Now let's turn to gun control laws. What do Virginia Tech's 32 murders, Columbine High School's 13 murders, Jonesboro Westside Middle School's five murders, Germany's Gutenberg High School's 16 murders, the murder of 14 legislators in Zug, Switzerland, and the murder of eight city council members in a Paris suburb all have in common? Answer: All the murders were committed in 'gun-free zones.' So a reasonable question is: Does legislation creating gun-free zones prevent murder and mayhem?"

"Ohio concealed carry license holders are still celebrating the passage of HB347 and the improvements it made to Ohio�s concealed carry law. In the last few years, we have been slowly taking back our Second Amendment rights. A recent trip to Kentucky reminded us how far behind we are. Kentucky is a decade ahead of Ohio with firearms reform. We have joked about how some of our legal and safe actions were considered felonies in Ohio. Of course it�s no joke to those who have been charged with felonies for an innocent misunderstanding." ... |

"Gunfire and blood at Virginia Tech have again raised a hot debate on arms control in the United States. Congress is believed to be considering passing a bill limiting arms ownership by people with a recognized mental illness[sic]. The bill discussed suggests states be given funds to improve their capacity to do background checks on gun buyers, and to establish a federal information bank in which details of people with a known mental illness are stored. Under the shadow of the biggest campus slaughter, some believe it will be possible to pull the bill through." ... |

"The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a trigger-happy group that regards the National Rifle Association as slightly spineless on gun rights, will hold a raffle tonight in a Fairfax County government building. The door prizes include a hunting rifle, a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition -- more than $2,000 in merchandise in all. The league's goal is to assist Virginia firearms dealers alleged to have skirted the state's already lax laws on gun purchases. So, a month after a deranged gunman killed 32 people at Virginia Tech, a Virginia group is coddling scofflaw gun dealers in the same state." ... |

They are presented here as ... a series of essays presented over the course of several months, each of which will address a separate aspect of Judge Silberman�s opinion.

Said South Carolinians would be subject to criminal and mental health background checks, and we all know how reliable they are." ... |
