(from AP.com) [Ed: My apologies! This article, lightly edited here, was authored by John Boch & first posted January 1 at TheTruthAboutGuns. Thank you to Dan Zimmerman, TTAG's editor, for alerting me and to Dr. Margulies who called it to my attention but never intended to take credit for it.] The United Nations has a lot of job openings listed on their UN Careers website. Among them is this: Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration officers who will work under the UN’s Departme...

DRGO Letter to Virginia Physicians

Posted on January 7, 2020January 6, 2020 by DRGO

Ed: This letter is going out from DRGO to physicians all across Virginia.Many of us are fed up and angry with the way our profession has lined up behind the irrational, unconstitutional bleating of hoplophobic authoritarians. Virginia is now the flash point. We, like pro-2A organizations across the country, are working closely with the Virginia Citizens' Defense League, which is spearheading the opposition. See also the superb December 26 communication from the Gun Owner's Association to Virgin...

No, Virginia, There is No Santa Claus

Posted on January 3, 2020January 2, 2020 by DRGO

(from coloribus.com) Those who seek to disarm us have an uncanny ability to ignore reality. The Richmond Times Dispatch piece by Josh Horowitz, the executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, plumbs new depths of distortion on the road to the opening of the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, accusing law-abiding gun owners of all manner of mayhem. Unsurprisingly, all the supposed sins of the gun owners were committed instead by his liberal cronies. (more…)

The Violent Spirit of St. Louis

Posted on December 31, 2019December 30, 2019 by DRGO

(from fox2now.com) On Friday, December 13 (how ironic), the mayor of St. Louis signed a bill into law which bans all firearms in the 110 city-owned parks, athletic fields and recreation facilities. I am certain that felons-with-guns are shaking in their boots. “It’s another tool to help police keep our playground and recreation facilities safe,” said Jacob Long, the mayor’s director of communications. Prior to the passage of the law, Alderman Bret Narayan predicted that this reclassificat...

The Bill for Our Rights

Posted on December 19, 2019December 18, 2019 by DRGO

(from funnyjunk.com) [Ed: We have published this piece annually since 2015 for Bill of Rights Day each December 15. The Bill’s Second Amendment is the reason for our being, in more ways than one.] On Sunday we all should have been jubilantly celebrating the 226th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, the original 10 amendments to the United States’ federal constitution. Remarkably, it slipped by relatively unremarked. Yet our Bill of Rights may actually be the ...

The Bloomberg Manifesto

Posted on December 12, 2019December 11, 2019 by DRGO

(from abduzeedo.com) On December 1, former NYC mayor, now private sector Democrat Presidential candidate, Michael Bloomberg wrote an accusatory Chicago Tribune Commentary, “NRA appeal to the Supreme Court puts gun laws at risk”. We certainly hope so! This polemic should actually be read by gun owners as a clarion call to get busy supporting our rights. This man has our Second Amendment in his crosshairs and is willing to spend vast (to us, not him) sums of money to see strip us of them, ...

Virginia & Massachusetts Join the Mob

Posted on December 10, 2019December 10, 2019 by DRGO

Confiscationists are finding creative ways to put pressure on law-abiding gun owners. In addition to taking over the public health publication machine, which cranks out “authoritative” articles based upon gross distortions of reality and statistical sleights of hand, they have now begun to weaponize front-line health care personnel. I witnessed this first-hand earlier this year. The Virginia Commonwealth University/Saint Mary’s Hospital/Virginia Department of Health “G...

‘Gunfight’: A Challenging Addition to Your Reading List

Posted on December 5, 2019December 9, 2019 by DRGO

(from amazon.com) Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America has, interestingly, been accused of being both NRA propaganda and wildly anti-gun. The varying reactions to this book suggest that author Adam Winkler has at least tried to take a balanced approach in his discussion. This book gives an excellent panorama of the gun control debate, mostly centered on the D.C. v. Heller case. And the author’s conclusion seems to be somewhere near the middle of the range of propos...
