"Di-Fi makes the usual mistake of assuming that the only reason to own a firearm is for hunting -- that that must be the sole legitimate use for owning a gun. Kerry made the same stupid mistake when he kept equating the Second Amendment with the right to hunt. In point of fact, though, we live in a world of terrorists and gangs that are assaulting us from all sides and a law-abiding citizen should have the right to arm themselves at least as well as the mutants."

Ahem.

The Second Amendment applies equally to hunting, sporting uses, and gangs: IT DOESN'T.

The Second Amendment applies to tyrannical government, esp. control thereof...

Other than that, another fine post Jeff...

Jeff,

your correct re Ruger and the DC case. When the ambulance chasers don't know which manufacturer was responsible for the product that allegedly caused the harm, they resort to what is known as market share liability - essentially seeking to divide liability for payment of the final verdict amongst all the defendent based upon their percentage (share) of the marketplace.

It started with vaccination litigation and its use has really exploded in the last few years.

I just love the way the lefties spew racism when they think nobody's looking.

[For those who read the entire article where we find out that Casey's wife threw a laundry hamper at the thug:]

I should have pointed out in my post that if we start banning laundry hampers, only criminals will have er, tidy laundry...

"Kristen! Get the gun and call the police."

Even after all the programming he received about the danger of guns and the need to not provoke an intruder, (call 911 and hide in the closet), this man still fought back.

While he definitely wasn't properly prepared, it makes me happy to see a man forget the PC brainwashing and fight to defend himself and family.

Some might argue that what Mr. Casey needed was a 30" fully automatic assault burrito. However, with children in the house I think we can all agree that this would have been terribly irresponsible. Imagine what might have happened if such an attractive nuisance had fallen into the hands of a teenager!

Burrito Control. It's for the children!
