Critique Of The Virginia Tech Review Panel: Nothing Has Changed.
it is utterly amazing how educators walk in darkness because they will not see the light.
_________________________________________________
In analyzing the Virginia Tech Review Panel’s Report to the Governor since it came out, I have praise for the overall analysis. I have praise for the Police and EMS who responded with a well-organized response plan. It was [...]

D.C. v. Heller: Militia, You Say . . . Arms Within Easy Reach.
Today, the anti-violence movement is, itself, predatory. It picks at minutiae and it misleads the public in order to, itself, thrive. This competition for survival comes at the expense of the nation.
Americans don’t have guns for food, we have guns to block tricks and boondoggles where we as armed citizens can handle the immediate [...]

D.C. v. Heller: Gun Bans Reflect A Tragic Mistrust Of The People.
In denial of due process for Washingotonians by way of a D.C. Gun Ban, then ignoring an Appeals Court adverse ruling in due process finding the ban unconstitutional, the District of Columbia runs to the Supreme Court for Due Process.
______________________________________________
The Supreme Court has decided to hear D.C. v. Heller and already the disinformation spin [...]

For Non-Gun Owners: D.C. v. Heller and Nutshell 2A.
I was so very pleased to join Bob Parks on his show, Outside The Wire last night, November 13th. We talked about gun bans and what personal weapons are all about. Thanks again for having me, Bob.
The Supreme Court Of the United States may soon decide whether to hear District Of Columbia v. Heller, [...]

The Empty Holster Protest: What America Didn’t See Is What’s Newsworthy
Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, contended in a Fox News report that self-defense advocates have no business on college campuses. Quite an education our kids are getting.
____________________________________________________
The entire anti-violence movement should know by now that disarming citizens cannot prevent violence. The anti-violence movement is a boondoggle.

Congratulations to Bobby Jindal for his win of the Governor’s office of the state of Louisiana. Governor-elect Jindal’s first act as chief executive of Louisiana is to call an emergency meeting of his state’s assembly.
The agenda is to clean house of corruption. I have praised Bobby Jindal in my book – Transfer of Wealth [...]

Gun Control Is Not Where Crime Is Fought. California Microstamping Can Have Frightening Nationwide Repercussions.
Crime is not fought by chasing it – crime may be caught by chasing it, but such after-the-fact agony for victims of crime cannot work as well as promised when it so profoundly vexes the rights of the very people the law was alleged to serve. The Agony is when gun control obfuscates and punishes [...]

School Shootings, Part III: The Indecency Of College Administrators.
Yes, Indecency.
In previous editions of Good For The Country, I mentioned how wrongful death lawsuits may play an important role in reclaiming the sovereignty of the adult students murdered on a campus which had no power to stop a shooter and which frustrates the target from acting in self-defense. Yes, adult students submit to the [...]

School Shootings: How Do Universities Teach When They Will Not Learn Basics?
A credibility issue mistaken as a safety issue.
As most of my readers know, I do not write for gun owners, but specifically for the Non-gun owners. What do 80 million gun owners know that non-gun owners don’t know? Primarily, that self-defense is not an opinion of any one group, it is a life skill [...]

Parker v. D.C.: If I Could Speak To The Supreme Court.
The District Of Columbia, moved so by an appellate court decision against its thirty-year-long gun ban, has elected to file with the Supreme Court. I wish I could address the Supreme Court.
In arguing that weapons applies only to militias, the District fails to understand that Militia as defined by United States Code applies to civilians [...]

Guns On Campus: Advice To Nevada Colleges.
See also www.GoodForTheCountry.com
According to Las Vegas News 3 and LasVegasNow.com, Nevada colleges are acknowledging not only how serious school shootings are, but are looking at arming faculty. This is entirely the wrong direction for several reasons.
1. Many Nevadans are already well trained, qualified and background-checked. Nevada is a right-to-carry state, and concealed carry of [...]

Guns On Campus: The Preponderance Of Public Policy and Interest.
Let me add to the June 20th, 2007, CollegiateTimes.com article, States look at gun policies, debate on-campus weapon carry. It’s positively encouraging because it reports on a movement sweeping the nation. The bottom line on the question will be public policy and interest.
Question: is it more in the public interest to see students carrying [...]

What Free Americans Fear Most Is Nearer Now.
It fact, some believe it’s here now.
What a free people fear most is the assumption of powers not granted, compounded by indifference to our way of life and backing that indifference with official force. Even worse, the deliberate deteriorization of conditions to usher in self-dealing solutions even more adverse to our way of life. [...]

Defaming Patriotism
Patriotic Organizations operate in the public interest, and because of this, the United States Government has seen fit to make them tax exempt. Most Americans agree with this because supporting such organizations is a vote of a sort, you might say, where donations to a non-profit charity of their choice are the voice of the [...]

Guns: Turn ?em In, Officials.
Senator Dianne Feinstein said of personal guns, “Turn ‘em in, America,” a very unpatriotic command nobody has to obey because it was against the law. She might as well have urged Americans to purchase other Americans while it’s against the law to own another person in this country. As civil rights, both are absolute, and [...]

Answering Brady Center.. Again: Academic Freedom and Guns DO Mix.
Because Freedom and Guns mix.
Speaking of academic, the non-profit Brady Center hasn’t learned about Freedom, if their May 3rd, 2007 release is any indication. The Center interferes with American Freedom as it claims to operate in the public interest making the argument against Freedom.
Mentioning in its press releases that the Center is a non-profit, so-called [...]

Gun Control, Virginia Tech and Answering Brady Campaign?s Helmke: Stop Hiding the Ball On Citizen Authority.
In a May 1st announcement, The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence pronounced a gun violence epidemic in this country (again), and vows to hold officials accountable for not enacting more severe restrictions on a civil right.
Every year, many more extensive numbers are hurt by knifings, rapes, robberies, beatings, chokings, multi-assailant attacks and, of course, [...]

Victim Disarmament Zones, Part III: Anti-gun Is Just Decerebrate.
Who in this country need Leaders who are so stubborn? Who in this country need leaders at all? We don’t have leaders here, we have executives.
Americans tolerate a lot if they believe it will help a crisis, and many good-natured helpful can be fooled and talked out of their authority in liberty by [...]

Virginia Tech Victim Disarmament Zone, Part II: What Do We Do About It?
Good For The Country as a syndicated feature isn’t for gun owners; the feature is written for the non-gun owner and heads of household n identifying adversity to our way of life here, this time in an analysis of the Virginia Tech Massacre, Part II.
