Here We Go Again
On Friday night, gun collector Michael David Dunn pulled his sedan up next to the SUV in which the unarmed 17-year-old Jordan Davis sat with his three friends at a Jacksonville, Florida, gas station. Dunn, 45, allegedly asked them to turn down their loud music. According to the Orlando Sentinel, that provoked an argument with Jordan and his friends:
Jordan and Dunn exchanged words, and Dunn pulled a gun and shot eight or nine times, striking Jordan twice, [Jacksonville sheriff’s Lt. Rob] Schoonover said. Jordan was sitting in the back seat. No one else was hurt.
Jordan died that night in his friend’s arms. Jordan’s father, Ron, later called Dunn a “coward” for shooting at the teens.
Guess what law Dunn is citing? You guessed it – Stand Your Ground.
Here is another case where the shooter initiated the confrontation and now says he feared for his life. If he viewed the teenagers as dangerous why would he confront them? That’s a serious question.
It’s True! People Are Losing Their 2nd Amendment Right To Bear Arms
But it isn’t President Obama who’s taking away people’s 2nd Amendment rights.
Breaking: At Least 7 People Shot In Milwaukee
Here we go again. Houston, we have a problem. At least seven people were injured in a Sunday morning mass shooting at a spa in suburban Milwaukee, according to local media reports. Police have gathered around the Azana Spa near the Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wis. The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department told the Associated […]
12 Dead In Colorado Shooting
Via ABC: A lone gunman dressed in riot gear burst into a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., at a midnight showing of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” and methodically began shooting patrons, killing at least 12 people and injuring at least 50. The suspect, James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, was caught by police […]
NRA Addicted to Paranoia
Let’s get one thing straight: the NRA hates HATES President Obama. If Obama even had a conceal and carry license and popped someone from holding up a liquor store, the NRA would still hate him. So, the NRA continues to beat the drum that President Obama – strike that – a black man is going […]

Police Chief On Trayvon Martin Case Is “Sure” Both, George Zimmerman And Trayvon, Wished They Would Have Done Things Differently
What exactly should Trayvon Martin have done differently? Not walked to the store? Not worn a hoodie?
There is something very, very wrong in Sanford, Florida. And I’m beginning to think what happened to Trayvon Martin is related to how the Sanford Police run their department. I’m beginning to think that George Zimmerman knew, if faced with what happened on February 26th, he’d get off… maybe even get a pat on the back, or a medal. And if he had actually shot and killed a “bad guy” he’d probably be heralded as a hero today. And that is a frightening thought. Far too often stories of a heroic citizen gunman are touted as the reason why guns are good, while stories of gun tragedies are dismissed as isolated incidents that shouldn’t be considered in the equation.
Dead Teenager And No Arrest
I’ve been following this story for the past week, and I’m surprised by how long it’s taken the national media to cover it.
Trayvon Martin was killed in Sanford, Florida last week three weeks ago. He was killed by a Neighborhood Watch member, who followed him for several minutes, and called Sanford 911 to report a person acting suspiciously. That person was a 140lb African American teenager who was in the gated community visiting his father and step mother. When he called 911, the Neighborhood Watch member, George Zimmerman, was told not to approach or engage the person he was following. Instead, he killed Trayvon Martin with a handgun. Trayvon had a can of soda and a bag of skittles. You get to guess which ethnic group George Zimmerman is NOT a member of.
Guns And Al Qaeda – Seems Like A Problem
This is embarrassing and dangerous: In a video released today Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn encourages terrorists to use American gun shows to arm themselves for potential Mumbai-style attacks. Gadahn’s video laid out a new tactic for Al Qaeda to continue their murderous terrorist agenda: America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go […]
Why We Won’t Be Considering Arizona Universities
It’s college search time in the Pandora household, and while we compared various universities by programs we didn’t expect to have to factor guns into the equation. Arizona House Bill 2001 which was filed mid-December would allow faculty to “possess a concealed firearm on the grounds of a community college … a provisional community college […]
Armed And Thinking
I think Joe Zamudio was very lucky and very wise in his split second decision making. Please read the entire article. If you haven’t heard about Mr. Zamudio, he’s the guy who heard the shots fired and ran toward them. He was armed. But before we embrace Zamudio’s brave intervention as proof of the value […]
