Imagine saving a child’s life only to find it’s YOU who is in Trouble with The Law!

Published June 18, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Good Samaritans, Gun Control, Gun Politics, Self-Defense


Washington, DC, is arguably the stupidest place on the planet. Not only is it filled with thoroughly myopic and self-absorbed politicians intent on running rampant over the nation, its bureaucrats despise the very Constitution Washington, DC, is supposed to “protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. This past January 3 pitbulls attacked and mauled an … [Read more...]

MP Jason Kenny Explains Why Educating Our Elected Officials Is So Important

Published June 16, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Politics, Property Rights


Jason Kenney is arguably one of the best MPs in the country.  His work on the Immigration file is excellent.  He takes his job seriously and handles the inane questions of the mainstream media well. That said, Jason Kenney clearly did not know how fundamentally the Firearms Act changed Canadian property rights when it comes to firearm ownership. Writer and longtime political … [Read more...]

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback Gets it Right on Guns

Published June 13, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Control, Gun Politics, Guns, Self-Defense


Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed House Bill 2162 into law the other day guaranteed to turn anti-gun zealots into spittle-soaked rage-aholics.  No longer will public money be used to undermine the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Local governments are, from July 1, 2013 onward, prohibited from using public money to produce, create, manufacture or … [Read more...]

Mass Killers were all Democrats?

Published June 8, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones


I received the following newspaper clipping via email the other day.  It perfectly describes the problem of mass shooters and a possible (and very creative) solution to them.  I must admit I enjoyed writer Peter Burkett's logic and what I enjoyed most was the knowledge that anti-gun zealots will undoubtedly weep, wail and gnash their teeth over because his facts are … [Read more...]

Wisconsin Farmer acquitted of “illegally” producing milk while Canada continues prosecuting farmers

Published June 4, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Guns, Property Rights


It’s the ultimate property right to produce a product on your own land using your own hard work.  Then government legislators wade in and decide what you will be “permitted” to do on the land you own and work with your own two hands. Wisconsin farmer Vernon Hershberger was charged with the heinous crime of producing and selling milk to willing and happy customers without a … [Read more...]

“Smart Guns” – A Bad Idea Whose Time Should Never Come

Published June 3, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Control, Gun Politics, Self-Defense


I’m reluctant to even write about this because as that old advertising maxim goes, any public mention of a product is a good thing. This gained wider notoriety when moronic Congressman John F. Tierney introduced a bill to Congress after watching the latest James Bond film.  He actually said this is where he got the idea for his bill from... which doesn’t say much for his … [Read more...]

Colorado Lawmakers Will Now Pay the Price for their Anti-Gun Stupidity

Published June 1, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Guns, Politics


As I wrote both here on my blog and here in Canadian Rights and Freedoms Bulletin #134, anti-gun lawmakers in Colorado will pay a high price for their stupidity.  First, the financial cost to the state itself as firearms businesses and even businesses in related industries pull out of Colorado. Then comes the real price, at least as far as myopic and moronic politicians are … [Read more...]

A Response to David Foote’s Article in Cottage Country Now

Published May 30, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Politically Correct Madness


by Mark L Horstead When a columnist claims to know something about firearms, as David Foote most recently did in "Fewer guns make a saver (sic) community, agues (sic) columnist" on 27 May 2013, but cannot even get the calibre right on a firearm that he supposedly owned, it is difficult indeed to give credence to anything which follows. There has never been a "306" … [Read more...]

Nelson, Georgia, sued by the Perennial Gun-Haters at the Brady Center

Published May 28, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Constitutional Violations, Guns, Political Antics, Self-Defense


On April 3, 2013 I wrote an article titled Why Government Despises Liberty… Thoughts on Bastiat’s classic “The Law” in which I discussed the principles Frederik Bastiat wrote about at length. I started off here: "Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused … [Read more...]

Is Every Phone Call You Make Recorded Without Your Knowledge or Consent?

Published May 27, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Constitutional Violations, Courts, Guns, Privacy Rights, Rights, Warrantless Searches


Constitutions, Charters of Rights and Freedoms, and Bills of Rights mean something under one and only one condition: when those in power choose to follow them. There is not a government in the world that actually respects the documents created by those who founded those nations.  Here in Canada, the ink wasn't dry on the Trudeaupian Nightmare, our Charter of Rights and … [Read more...]

The FBI Calls Me a Terrorist just because I believe in Defending My Rights and Freedoms?

Published May 26, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Courts, Guns, Politically Correct Madness


Another absurd document surfaced from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that discusses “Possible Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Internet Cafes”. In that document it explains how to find potential terrorists and turn them over to the proper authorities for rendering... er I mean investigation. I  love the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.  It’s … [Read more...]

Hollywood’s “Anti-Piracy” Hypocrisy

Published May 24, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Guns, Property Rights


It’s one thing for a Hollywood film producer to do what it can to prevent its own commercial works from being “pirated” on the internet.  It’s entirely another to prevent an independent filmmaker from producing a film and intentionally sharing his work on the internet for free, yet that is exactly what Hollywood film companies Viacom, Paramount, Fox and Lionsgate are doing … [Read more...]

Rookie Ottawa Constable claims she was shot, sparks massive manhunt, but did she really shoot herself?

Published May 21, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Negligent Discharges, Personal Responsibility, Police, Police Misconduct


A Gantineau, Quebec, police constable, apparently raiding a Saturday night bush party outside Ottawa, managed to get herself shot instead. The only question remaining now is this: Who shot her? The rookie constable with just 3 years on the job called for backup after the gunshot and, while she never made any mention of shooting herself in that call for backup, didn’t set … [Read more...]

What does Jay-Walking have to do with Liberty?

Published May 20, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Guns


What does Jay-Walking have to do with Liberty? Actually, that’s the wrong question. The correct question is this: Why do we refuse to teach our children personal responsibility?  Why make it a crime to cross the street wherever you choose? I can hear the gasps of horror already and I've not even finished penning this article! But if everyone just crossed the road wherever … [Read more...]

Colorado Learns the Hard Lesson that Political Decisions Have Consequences

Published May 13, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Politically Correct Madness


The Governor of Colorado was warned.  Pass anti-2nd Amendment legislation and Colorado firearm manufacturing business would leave, taking their jobs and taxes with them. Democrat Governor John Hickenlooper signed into law anti-gun bills that limit magazine capacity and require background checks for all private and online firearm sales.  The new legislation also forces … [Read more...]

US State Department Gets Knickers In a Twist over 3D Printable Handgun

Published May 12, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Freedom of Speech, Gun Politics, Guns, Political Corruption


Earlier this week Cody Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, made history by creating a single-shot firearm using a 3D printer and then firing it.  Personally, I find this absolutely fascinating and a marvel of human ingenuity. Wilson, often referred to in the press as “the radical libertarian and anarchist founder of Defense Distributed” successfully designed a .380 … [Read more...]

Rumblings in the Distance

Published May 9, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Gun Politics, Guns


by Frank Hilliard In the back alleys of Cairo artisans are making what they have always made in times of crisis in countries in turmoil; weapons. It's good to keep this in mind because we in the West tend to lose track of reality in the fog of political platitudes and shock of obscene events. We are reassured by the former and distracted by the latter so that we mistake … [Read more...]

Arthur Topham’s Legal Woes Continue for Daring to use his Right to Freedom of Speech

Published May 6, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Guns, Hate Speech, Human Rights Tribunals


From the beginning Arthur Topham’s case puzzled me. Charging Mr. Topham with “wilfully promoting hatred” under Section 319(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada seemed excessive given he already faces charges under Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act. What makes Arthur Topham so scary? In today’s world, where we value “hurt feelings” over our Charter Rights and … [Read more...]

Sheldon Clare and the NFA Barking up the Wrong Tree?

Published May 2, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Canada's Powerful Gun Lobby, Gun Politics, Politics


On April 23, 2013, Sheldon Clare and the National Firearms Association (NFA) issued a press release titled “Charging Fees to Avoid a Criminal Charge is Bad Policy”.  Sheldon Clare opens that press release saying, “Charging a fee for people to avoid a criminal charge is simply wrong.” While that may absolutely be true, it’s also a policy long-established and accepted by … [Read more...]
