The Smallest Minority shows point by point how the state is, in no way, responsible for your safety and well-being. To me, this is the ultimate weapon to use in the courtroom for the right to bare arms. If the state has no compulsion to defend me against those who mean to do me harm, the state cannot deny me the right and the means to defend myself. I spent a lot of time in NYC where gun control reigns supreme. Naturally, there was tons of shootings and gun related crime. The only upside is that it gave me a really good "spidey sense". Which, to this day, is still pretty sharp and has saved me more than once. Contrast that with my time in Deep South where guns are ubiqitous. I felt much safer there than in NYC. (Yes, I know the two are not analagous, but there are enough similarities to draw a comparison.)
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
