From Mike Williamson, SurvivalBlog’s Editor at Large: Gun-Totin’ Left-Wingers Demonstrate at the Arizona Capitol: Is Bloodshed on the Horizon? This has potential to be terrifying or hilarious. They’ve been to a range and learned gun safety, which is good. I see no evidence they’ve learned how to actually fight.

Professor Takes Stance that State Government can Decide Property Rights of Private Owners – B.B.

HJL’s Comment: It’s interesting to note that the “…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” from The U.S. Declaration of Independence actually was derived from John Locke’s “life, liberty, and property.” At the time, in England, the common man struggled to have private property, but in the young America, there was plenty of property, so the phrase became “pursuit of happiness” (which actually doesn’t mean what most Americans think it means.) Now private property, once abundant, is being challenged. In fact, if your land can be taken from you because you didn’t pay taxes on it, doesn’t that mean that you really didn’t own the land in the first place? Perhaps you were just paying rent to the government? Maybe it’s time to rethink this property thing.
