I start out with a mea culpa this episode. No, the school where the President sends his daughters does not have armed guards.

A federal judge ruled in December that a North Carolina plan to offer license plates that say “Choose Life†is unconstitutional, saying the state cannot issue the plates without offering a similar product for the opposing viewpoint. So are they going to now have “Choose Death” plates?

CNN would like to say that they play the news down the middle, objectively. They’d like to say it, but on the gun control issue, “fair and balanced” is not quite accurate.

The Washington DC gun ban, passed in the 70′s, was ruled unconstitutional in the 2000′s. What happened to the murder rate during the ban, and after it was struck down, should be instructive when considering the Diane Feinstein gun ban. I have the info from a former prosecutor in DC.
