President George Bush’s controversial choice for the Supreme Court has withdrawn her nomination. In Harriet Miers’ resignation letter she states “Protection of the prerogatives of the Executive Branch and continued pursuit of my confirmation are in tension. I have decided that seeking my confirmation should yield.” Hopefully the president will select a conservative constitutionalist with the necessary experience as the next nominee.

As you may already know, the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act” has already passed the Senate and now waits for Congress to move on it. However, did you know that Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy tried to debunk the bill by adding ludicrous gun control amendments leveraging police safety as reasoning? Furthermore, Senator Kennedy was humiliated when Law Enforcement opposed his amendments! Will this slap-in-the-face wake up the senile senator or is it just one of many times he has been caught in dishonest legislation manipulation motivated by warped ideology?

The Mossberg 500 family of shotguns offers a remarkable combination of modern design, custom-type features and affordability. Mossberg has long been a favorite of hunters, law enforcement and private citizens. Here we focus on the Mossberg “tactical” shotguns, which are well suited for home defense. There are excellent hunting models that will be covered in another story. Why we have selected Mossberg 500 boils down to quality and affordability. It has often been said, “one of the most frightening sounds an assailant can hear is the sound of a shell being jacked into the chamber of a Mossberg pump.”

Rebecca Peters, head of the IANSA, publicly stated her intention of seeing all firearms banned in the United States except for small single shot rifles for hunting. Her advice to collectors and competitive shooters, “Take up another sport.”

The Smith & Wesson Model 637 is a 5-shot J-frame built with a stainless steel barrel and cylinder and an aluminum alloy frame with an exposed hammer. The standard model weighs only 15.5 ounces. The model 637 has an exposed hammer while the model 640 has no visible hammer, which makes for snagless conceal carry.

This little guy gives you ideal power from a .38 with 158 grain, more than most any other pistol of the same size. Recoil is controllable for the average shooter, but the small grip may be uncomfortable for some shooters. The recoil may be a hair strong for some lady shooters even though the grip is designed for smaller hands.

When compared to other pistols in its class, the Smith & Wesson Model 637 has more punch then most, and greater accuracy than comparable Glocks. Variations on the model offer even lighter weight.

By any other name, New Orleans is now a police state under martial law. Citizens can kiss the constitution good-bye in any emergency, unless they are wealthy. The New York Times reports that the firearms confiscation doesn’t apply to “security guards hired by businesses and some wealthy individuals.” To date, citizens have been held against their will at the Superdome, citizens have been forcefully removed from their homes, and legal firearms owners are forced to forfeit their property, and the only exemption to all of these constitutional crimes by the U.S. government applies to the wealthy upper class citizens of New Orleans.
