Economist Mark Gius has a new study in the journal Applied Economics Letters that bears on the gun control debate. Gius finds that permissive concealed carry laws (generally, “shall issue”) result in a lower rate of homicide involving firearms. Conversely, state-level assault weapons bans have no statistically significant effect on the homicide rate involving guns.
And the critical point in the abstract…

Yahoo!/AP Kansas legislators gave final approval Saturday to a bill that would nullify city and county gun restrictions and ensure that it’s legal across the state to openly carry firearms, a measure the National Rifle Association sees as a nationwide model for stripping local officials of their gun-regulating power. The House approved the legislation, 102-19, … Read more
Democrats are not the party of work, or the American family. Their ‘American Dream’ is a nation crowded with dependents.
Under Democrat rule work force participation has plummeted while government dependence has skyrocketed.
There is no mystery. Millions or worker did not “vanish from the workforce.” They were driven out by a sustained, regulatory assault on the American economy. They are ideological refugees.
Democrat policy destroyed their jobs and trapped them in a co-dependent relationship with the welfare state. They were forced to trade the ladder to success for a hammock. An exchange far too many will accept, finding it easier to vote themselves a meager future on their knees instead of risking time and energy fighting for a better life on their feet.

Anyone else see the contradiction? Democrats, all of them, but mostly the Obama/Liz Warren variety, insist the government establish and enforce strict consumer protection rules so consumers do not get “taken advantage of”…while creating a government monopoly on what health insurance is by lying to their future captive customer base, sending media or union thugs … Read more

In case there is any doubt that there is a media preference for Democrats let’s just clear that up…Again.
A quick search of three local Newspapers near me, provides some perspective.
I Searched three items. Leland Yee, the gun-running anti-gun Democrat State Senator from CA, Wendy Davis–a Democrat State senator from TX (and candidate for governor of TX), and the Trayvon Martin shooting. So we have Guns, stories from outside NH, and stories about State Senators, along with women and minorities. It’s a Progressive Party Salad of news story potential.
Want to see how they did?
Yesterday I observed what has been observed rightly, from the right, for years. ObamaCare can’t help but kill jobs.
I know, wasn’t ObamaCare a jobs Bill? Sure. Everything Democrats passed in 2009 and 2010 was a jobs bill. Commemorating post offices was a jobs bill. Defunding abstinence education to pay for more abortions was a jobs bill. Evert time Pelosi flapped her lips the spittle created jobs as it fell to earth. It’s in the Progressive book of the People Champions, I swear. So is Pelosi’s legendary act of creating jobs and growth by unemploying people.
And on the seventh day she rested, flying friends and cronies family cross-country in government planes at taxpayer expense with a fully stocked bar and pricey munchies–which also created jobs, and this was good.
