On September 27 an argument among a group of illegal gamblers at a Georgia “event center” escalated into a shootout which wounded ten people aged 16 to 29. The next day gun control proponent Shannon Watts tried to use the altercation to smear the NRA.
Last week, Democrats led a filibuster of a Senate stopgap measure that would have defunded Planned Parenthood. Eight Republicans did not support that measure, leaving it short of a simple majority, much less the 60 votes required to overcome the filibuster.
Over the weekend, Breitbart News sat down with Gun Owners of America’s Larry Pratt to ask his opinion on House Speaker John Boehner’s plans to resign, and Pratt said he was thrilled with the news.

National Democrats have been vocal lately about their desire to resettle hundreds of thousands more “Syrian refugees” in the United States. Yet not one of these ostentatiously compassionate statesmen has offered any of the huddled masses yearning to breath free refuge on their own fabulously posh estates.
Representatives Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-7th), Eleanor Norton Holmes (D-DC), Robin Kelly (D-Ill-2nd), and Mike Quigley (D-Ill-5th) have introduced a bill designed to force licensed gun dealers to abide by a new set of requirements, some of which Congress has refused to pass.

McCarthy’s announcement comes on the heels of current Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, announcing his resignation last Friday. That came after Boehner lost significant support among his own party and apparently wouldn’t have won reelection should a motion to remove him have come up for a vote. Rep.

The problem, as legal experts are now pointing out, is that the EPA’s plan oversteps federal authority. Harvard University Constitutional Law Professor Laurence Tribe, who is generally a supporter of the president’s agenda, told Congress earlier this year that that the plan exceeds the EPA’s authority under federal law. According to Professor Tribe, the CPP makes states unacceptably subservient to Washington on energy and environmental matters because it “invades state regulatory control in an unprecedented manner” that “raises grave constitutional questions that the Act must be construed to avoid.”
Asian immigrants are expected to overtake immigrants from Latin America as America’s largest immigrant group in the coming 50 years, according to new projections from the Pew Research Center.
The gay liberation movement actually started because of opposition to business regulation (elaborated in a brilliant piece by Nick Sibilla, a writer at the free market public interest legal firm the Institute of Justice). In Stonewall, regulations made it illegal to serve alcohol to gays and other unseemly sorts, or to get a liquor license if you were gay.
Planned Parenthood paid some of its supporters who threw condoms at GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina and at her supporters during an Iowa Hawkeye tailgate on Saturday.
