Carol Bowne

I read the stories of Carol Bowne’s death and thought it could have been me. If I’d lived in New Jersey, that would have been me.  The anger and frustration I feel over her death almost can’t be put into words because it strikes too close to home. Let me tell you what other domestic violence victims already know.

Victims of domestic violence become desensitized from repeated abuse. Many victims are too scared to leave their abuser. The most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim is when they leave their abuser and the few days following their escape. I know because I was one of them.

Washington, DC (TFC) – Interrogation is now commonplace in the United States. It may not be in room with a hot light, it may not be in a detention center. It may not be under torture. It may be something as simple as questioning on the side of the road. It may be by a private individual and not a law enforcement officer. The first rule of dealing with cops: don’t.

Understanding the tactics makes you much less susceptible to them. The tactics will be discussed and…

Most of us do not realize that society is a fragile thing.  It does not take all that much to dissolve the glue that binds a people together.  This ‘glue’ is the sum of those Natural Laws upon which all societies are founded and sustain.  If we ignore these laws, then just as a building will eventually crumble if its foundation is ignored, then so will our society eventually crumble.  What are the Natural Laws governing society?  Well, they would include the need for shared faith, awareness of history, customs, social experiences and, a system of justice, but most important, a common language.  Unless a society shares a common language, all else is moot, for what good are other commonalities if we do not know they are shared because we cannot communicate with one another? This is one of the primary…

   It wasn’t enough to want to ban 3D printers and internet blueprints on how to print plastic magazines and gun parts, Democrats in Congress are now moving to ban plastic guns altogether. This comes after reports of the TSA’s complete incompetence in failing to detect weapons and fake bombs in 67 out of 70 tests. Continue reading here…
2. Dissent Between Justices Is Reason Supreme Court Denies Hearing 2nd Amendment Case – 2015-06-10 18:53:20-04
   Ever since the case of D.C. v. Keller and Mcdonald v. Chicago, the Supreme Court has become disinterested in aiding the public in understanding the specifics of protected gun rights. In the recent past with the case of Jackson v. City and County of San Francisco two justices believe that the Supreme Court should have

Trap Shooting Becoming Popular Sport at Minnesota High Schools….

As fast as this sport is growing, the local gun ranges cannot keep up with demand. Nelson said they had to turn away almost 2,000 kids this spring because of space and time issues at the ranges. Minnesota legislature set aside $2 million dollars last year to help the gun ranges in the area expand
