The Gun Rabbi

So says HaAretz, following an interview with the Gun Rabbi. (The Hebrew original can be found here.)

Just in case they make it subscriber only at some point in the future, I archived a copy of the Hebrew here and the English can be found here.

The man speaks Truth to Power and is full of the simple common-sense wisdom that has long been forgotten in American politics.

In the news...

Even the New York Times admits that the Supreme Court should incorporate 2A against the States; however, lest you think that their brains have gotten the better of their anti-gun fanaticism, the NYT adds that the States should continue their "gun control" efforts.

The Wall Street Journal says that "it's hard to believe the Court won't apply the Second Amendment to states." The only concern the WSJ raises is the possibility that liberals will use the Privileges and Immunities Clause to discover new "rights" in the Constitution, such as a "right" to health insurance.

As for me... I look forward to the day when I walk around New York City with an open carry at my side.

In gun-ban Chicago, police have found a way to keep residents safe: give them whistles. Just think -- unlike a handgun, your whistle requires no licensing, no registration, no NICS check, and no training. On the other hand, knowing when to use it requires no brains and provides no protection to the user.

President Obama is from Chicago, and he was part of the gun confiscators. How about we give him a whistle and fire all those Secret Service bodyguards to reduce our budget deficit?
