Front Sight, Press

Well, the field has narrowed considerably. Fred and Rudy are gone, as are Bill, Dennis, John, Tom, and Tommy. Left standing on the Republican side are Mitt Romney, John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. On the Democrat side we have Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton.

They are popping up like noxious weeds in unlikely places, most notably in the legislatures of states that are otherwise gun-friendly – “encoded ammunition” bills. “Encoded ammunition” is code for requiring manufacturers to put serial numbers or similar individualized identification on each round of ammunition produced.

The Second Amendment’s right to bear arms has rarely been considered by the Supreme Court, but this year the Court is hearing a case that could become a Constitutional landmark. So it is nothing short of astonishing, and dispiriting, that the Bush Justice Department has now weighed in with an amicus brief that is far too clever by half.

While I try to avoid doing too much direct politics in this newsletter, except as it relates to gun rights and law, I feel compelled to express my utter outrage at the Bush administration’s filing of an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court in support of the Washington DC handgun ban.

Guns are dangerous! They have to be, or there would be scant point in ownership, much less in carrying one. Of course, “dangerous,” is a relative term. However, WHEN FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, THE ONLY KIND OF GUN I WANT IS ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
