In Tucson: 'Before they tighten up the state laws, I'm buying more guns'
Trade was roaring at the gun counter of the Sportsman's Warehouse in Tucson on Sunday afternoon, where roughly 30 types of shotguns competed for shelf space with 100 pistols, 50 rifles and enough ammunition to fuel more than one decent shootout at the nearby the OK Corral.
Just a day had passed since Jared Lee Loughner allegedly launched a deadly Shooting Spree using a gun purchased from the very same store, but patrons were undeterred. Richard Tucker and his eight-year-old daughter, Emily, sp...

Redstate: Outspoken Sheriff Accused Of Dismissing Loughner Death Threats
Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local Bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff's Office was informed, his deputies assured the Victims that he was being well managed by the Mental Health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County. Th...

Months before she was shot in the head, US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords won a tight re-election battle vowing to be "moderate" -- including by staunchly backing the right to own guns. As she lies in critical condition, some are publicly questioning the gun-slinging culture of the American West where weapons at restaurants do not cause a second glance and opposition to guns is considered political Suicide.

Judges: Kuwaiti-born man due damages in arrest
HONOLULU (AP) — A Federal Court has ruled in favor of a Kuwaiti-born Honolulu man who claims he was arrested based on unjustified suspicions of Terrorism. Lawyers in the case say the city of Honolulu will likely owe Mansour Arekat and his attorney hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A message from your 2016 GOP Presidential nominee...
Notice how many times former Florida Governor Jeb Bush uses the term "center-right" in his appeal for more Republican "outreach." Query: Have the Bushes decided to start moving away from the word "conservative"? And doesn't this push for Latino "outreach" sound a lot like "compassionate Conservatism", the approach that begat Medicare expansion, the campaign for Immigration Amnesty, and No Child Left Behind? Memo to all "evolving" pols--true conservatism is the most empowering and uplifting polit...

Where incendiary political Rhetoric truly resides in America
Indeed, the Left’s hysterical response to all who disagree with it—that they are Racist or sexist or “phobic” or somehow reminiscent of Hitler—has become so predictable that satirists, from the Libertarian Greg Gutfeld to the liberal Jon Stewart, h

Judy Clarke, a San Diego-based public defender, will represent Jared Lee Loughner, the twenty-two year old charged with shooting Gabrielle Giffords and seventeen other people, killing six. Even Fidel Castro has voiced disdain for Loughner, who authorities describe as "a troubled individual," but Clarke is no stranger to defending high-profile Public Enemies. Previously, she represented the Unabomber, Eric Robert Rudolph (t...

The Arizona Shooting: The Last Assassination of the 60s
Ben Johnson, FloydReports.com
As the media and left-wingers spin the attempted Assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords as an act of Tea Party violence, perhaps even they have a nagging little voice telling them they are overlooking the factors that really led to this tragedy, which claimed the lives of six people — including three septuagenarians and a nine-year-old girl. While the Left has predictably tried to use this attack to smear its political opponents, Conservatives hav...
A tale of two shootings
Some good news is emanating tonight from University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona, where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ neurosurgeon, Dr. G. Michael Lemole, reports that the congresswoman is showing no signs of further brain swelling, which is a positive indicator. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the six Victims of Jared Lee Loughner who perished on Saturday. Or for the twelve Victims who died at Ft. Hood on November 5, 2009, when Major Nidal Malik Hasan shouted “Allah akbar” ...
