    In a unanimous decision, Winnetka, IL repealed its gun ban.  I guess they didn’t get the Brady Campaign memo that the election proved people don’t care about their rights anymore… Hat tip Sebastian

    From Rustmeister: I’ve always had a nagging little pain concerning the term “Fudd”. I don’t know where it came from, probably from one of those big gun boards I can’t get on because I can’t get my name approved (I haven’t tried all that hard, really).

    We have the data, and the arguments, to show that hunting is in every bit as much danger, and perhaps more, as gun rights are.  Hunters may soon come to find they need us more than we need them.  When it comes to that, we need to stand by them.  The proper remedy is to…

    From Rasmussen: Nearly two-thirds of U.S. voters (63%) say Barack Obama is more likely than John McCain to restrict an individual’s right to own a gun, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

    Am I happy that Dan Cooper was forced to resign as CEO of Cooper Arms? Not really. It is too bad that Mr. Cooper got involved with the incident, but after what he did, especially the USAToday story, I could not support his business, and made my feelings clear, both to them, and on this…
