Obamacare, Stimulus, and Other Disasters

"John Lott is best known to the public for his outstanding analysis of gun control legislation, but his research as an economist extends far beyond that topic; and he here gives us a devastating account that covers the full range of the Obama Administration’s economic policy. One would expect a book by John Lott to say something informative about gun control, and our author does not disappoint us. It transpires that he met President Obama when both of them served on the law school faculty of the University of Chicago." Continue reading →

Anti-gun cities, where the rich pay for protection while the poor pay with their lives

"The story in New York City is one often told. While about 8 million souls reside in the city only a scant proportion (.00375%) are allowed to carry a gun for their own protection. And with the steep, non-refundable application fee many people just cannot afford to even try for the likelihood of getting turned down and losing nearly $500.

Police also have an incentive to ALLOW drug deals to be made so they can seize more money afterward. That's because the wealth they steal helps fund their departments and often pays for their bonuses. As a result, cops become carjackers. Police stole a woman’s car because she loaned it to her son, who was carrying a handgun. Police stole $28,500 in church offerings. Police stole FORTY cars in one night at an art gallery event. An outdated Detroit 'speakeasy' law was the excuse. Of course, the police also steal houses and other valuables. In Philadelphia, the police steal 100 houses each year." Continue reading →
