The law and the jungle

Loathsome-mayor update

He really is a fascist at heart, isn't he?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Sunday: Sometimes government does know best. And in those cases, Americans should just cede their rights.

Sound advice

Strange little editorial on gun safety in the Evansville Courier & Press:

 

Owning a gun is a right and a responsibility. Now that a state court has left no doubt that Hoosiers may carry a handgun in all but a few exempted places, let those who choose to exercise this right do so in a responsible manner.

What, us worry?

There oughta be a law, not

No need to repeal a city ordinance when the state's new law amounts to a de facto repeal:
