Past performance is no indicator of future results. At least that's the usual disclaimer you get from investment firms. With legislation and regulation though, history may not always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. At least it does for those wise enough to listen and watch. To the surprise of…

You have to love "charity" bond funds who pay the bail for bad guys who can't afford to pay their own bail after suffering the indignity of getting arrested for committing crimes.  The charity bond funds allow the release of arrestees so they can go victimize more people back to…

The arrest numbers for Chicago suggest that those committing serious crimes face only a one in twenty chance of getting caught. Factor in a Soros-funded state's attorney that drops about a third of cases police present to her and, well, the number of criminals suffering consequences is nil. Wirepoints has…

Chicago isn't safe. Not even for decent people living in "decent" neighborhoods.  For example, in one neighborhood just east of Chicago's O'Hare Airport, an 80-year-old man faced down a pair of drug-abusing career criminals, and ended up shooting both.  However, dumb luck or good fortune cheated Mr. Darwin.

Big court news keeps piling up. Good news for gun owners. And reason enough for Kwame Raoul to order more booze and pot by the pallet for his 447ish-strong legal team, because they're gonna need it to try to cope with the avalanche of bad news headed their way. And…

Seeing and being sure of what you're shooting at is part of responsible armed self-defense. Thirty years ago, cutting edge flashlights were SureFire 6p units that…

You have to admit, trying to defend school segregation in the face of the US Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education was a tough one for some racist bigots in America back in the 1950s.  Today, gun-hating bigots like Governor J.B. Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul are…

Democrats in Illinois have championed “criminal justice reform” for a long time now, implementing their Chicago-style policies state-wide where they could. What has this given us? Well, a judge in Chicago sentenced a 17-year-old drug dealer to three years of probation for stabbing a 15-year-old boy to death last year.…

Poor Kimmy Foxx, the Soros-funded prosecutor (who doesn't prosecute) in Cook County - aka Chicago for those outside of Illinois.
