Snowflakes in Hell

• Canada Moving Closer to Registry Repeal

  It's passed second reading by a vote of 164 to 137, a margin of 27 votes. As Dave Kopel points out, that means that 20 members of the other party have joined conservatives in voting this way. This is very positive. Very positive. It's one of the only other countries turning [...]

• NRA Reaction to Election 2009

  Landslide. For the record, I probably went a little easy on the Bradys in agreement that the election wasn't about guns. That's not entirely true. A reader pointed out that guns were most definitely an issue in the Virginia Attorney General's race, with Democrats running ads like this against Ken' [...]

• How the GOP Fared in the Collar Counties

  John Micek covers the results of the elections in Pennsylvania last night: We sat down and took a look at the electoral map this morning, and there's some portents in there that should make Democrats very nervous indeed. Despite a massive statewide voter registration edge, Republicans ultimately proved more motivated than Democrats [...]

• What Chris Christie’s Victory Could Mean

  Looking at the tallies over in New Jersey, it's pretty amazing, and should give the Democratic Party some pause. Democrats have been very successful at making gains among middle class suburbanites, and among the very wealthy, especially in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and the West Coast. Most of this was because [...]

• Bradys Spin as Predicted

  A few days ago I said: Now when NRA candidates in Virginia win in a landslide, Brady will no doubt claim it’s because of other issues. Right on cue: For better or worse, guns didn’t play a prominent role in the outcomes of any of the four high-profile races yesterday — Virginia Governor, [...]

• MAIG in PA Just Lost 16 More Members

  After last night's results came in, Bloomberg's anti-gun group is down another 16 mayors in Pennsylvania - and that's the minimum number. Unfortunately a few of the rural counties (and at least one not-so-rural county) don't seem to have heard of this new-fangled internet thingamajig. They don't post ... [...]

• Good Night for the Second Amendment

  Another good night for the Second Amendment, according to Dave Kopel. This is considering higher profile races, where we did indeed succeed. Bitter is currently researching, and will be posting later, how MAIG mayors faired in the elections. NRA did not get involved in mayoral races in Pennsylvania, but by [...]

• Beware of the Dolphins

  Tyler Cowen has an interesting example of dolphins learning how to trade up for better treats. He enjoyed the story. I'm concerned that this is a sign of the end times, at least if Lisa Simpson lets that damn dolphin go free. Related posts:LOST TreatyHigh Gas PricesQuote of the Day' [...]

• Wisconsin AG Gets Permission to File Brief

  Oddly, in Wisconsin, the elected Attorney General is not allowed to sign on to briefs without permission from another branch. In Heller, he did not get permission or did not seek it soon enough. In the effort to get the Chicago case to the Court, he also did not sign ... [...]

• Hey, Obama & Pelosi

  I get no points for class or maturity, I know. But I think a little gloating every now and then is good for our Republic, and considering how much work I put into the 2008 election, only to suffer loss and discouragement, I get to gloat over this. GOP sweep in [...]

• A Few Election Highlights

  Well, Virginia looks not just good, but great. As of this posting, with more than 80% of the precincts reporting, we're looking at a 20% decisive win. I look forward to the Brady spin that NRA is irrelevant in this race. If so, then why was Creigh ...' [...]
