Guess I should have put a barf alert in the header. Blood will be running in the streets. Right? You know, from those high noon shoot-outs that'll be commonplace all over the DFW metroplex.

Bobbie Ray sounds like he/she may be a “poof!”

Good ol’ Bob Ray Sanders...still trying to use dog feces for brains, and still, after all these years, managing to fool himself into thinking it’s actually working for him.

This is great news!

Dispelling the myth of the “wild west”

In his book, Frontier Violence: Another Look, author W. Eugene Hollon, provides us with these astonishing facts:
•In Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and Caldwell, for the years from 1870 to 1885, there were only 45 total homicides. This equates to a rate of approximately 1 murder per 100,000 residents per year.
•In Abilene, supposedly one of the wildest of the cow towns, not a single person was killed in 1869 or 1870.

Zooming forward over a century to 2007, a quick look at Uniform Crime Report statistics shows us the following regarding the aforementioned gun control “paradise” cities of the east:

•DC – 183 Murders (31 per 100,000 residents)
•
Baltimore – 281 Murders (45 per 100,000 residents)
•
Newark – 104 Murders (37 per 100,000 residents)

It doesn’t take an advanced degree in statistics to see that a return to “wild west” levels of violent crime would be a huge improvement for the residents of these cities.

The truth of the matter is that the “wild west” wasn’t wild at all … not compared to a Saturday night in Newark.

Going back to the old west in terms of crime rates seems like a good thing to me.

Same kind of arguments were trotted out - by the same people - when concealed carry was being debated.

And of course were proven wrong.

Dimocrats in the legislature have really got their knickers in a wad over the fact these bills are going to pass and there’s not a thing they can do to stop them!

I attended a session of the Senate one day last week when Sen. Craig Estes’ open-carry bill was being debated, and it got downright acrimonious in there. Estes kept his cool, and I only realized later is was because he knew his bill was going to pass regardless of what the other side said or did.
And it did, 20 - 11.

I suspect that it's not that Bob-Ray is against guns, but that he's against white people being able to defend themselves.
