In 2010’s McDonald v. Chicago, the Supreme Court ruled against Chicago’s gun restrictions, making it clear that “every city and state must adhere to the Second Amendment.” Yet the Supreme Court did not specifically lay out what changes needed to take place. That happened in 2012, after the case returned to… View Article

Gun Applications Soar in Maryland Ahead of Gun Ban

Guns at the Airport – High taxes in Italy moves to Poland

For most fliers, the standard slap-your-forehead moment occurs after opening a suitcase upon arrival and discovering that they forgot to pack their prescription medicine, running shoes or perfect necktie. Then there are the travelers, few but growing in number, who have a similar reaction, albeit more severe, over an item that they forgot to unpack before boarding. The forehead slap is usually followed by a fine and sometimes a night in jail. Across the country, people are increasingly being caught at security checkpoints with firearms in their carry-on bags. Nowhere does this happen more often than at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International,… View Article

Political influence in our Courts – Canadians Right to Self Defence

To state the obvious, Americans do not trust the federal government, and that includes the Supreme Court. Americans believe politics played “too great a role” in the recent health care cases by a greater than two-to-one margin.[1] Only thirty-seven percent of Americans express more than some confidence in the Supreme Court.[2] Academics continue to debate how much politics actually influences the Court, but Americans are excessively skeptical. They do not know that almost half of the cases this Term were decided unanimously, and the Justices’ voting pattern split by the political party of the president to whom they owe their… View Article

‘Imperial Presidency’ Would Make Nixon Blush

                      ‘The Butler’ Star: Obama’s ‘Imperial Presidency’ Would Make Nixon Blush John Cusack plays President Richard M. Nixon as a sweaty, power-obsessed politician in Lee Daniels’ The Butler. The progressive actor still thinks the leader lionized in the film’s framing device, Barack Obama, represents a power grab far more problematic than the disgraced Nixon.
