So glad to see these coming back, especially this one — which I point people to often.

He has a new video version of this out here, too:

I could read these posts all day long. So many great quotes:

“The simple truth about guns is that they are damn effective and even easier to operate. They level the playing field to the point where a woman has a chance against a gang of thugs or a police officer can control a brawl.”
“There is a word for people who are fed, clothed, housed and sustained fully by others, and that word is SLAVES.”

Reading your article about the freedom of flight, carbon footprints, and so forth, I noted the remark about the towtruck driver going out to change tires for men who don’t even know how. I keep wondering how someone with a runaway car can drive for miles (even make a phone call in the latest headline example) and not be able to turn off the ignition.
Just askin’…

Whoever said Holland was the most free country, must just like reefer and sitting in coffee houses because I’ve met many recent immigrants here in rural Ontario Canada that are Dutch and have left the home country to escape the regulation and insane bureaucracies.

Here’s an example: No starting of tractors a half hour before sunrise and half hour after.

I think Holland may just stave to death someday.

Read this history of gun prohibition in England. This explains why they don’t understand the second amendment. I especially like the section that describes the thousands of guns sent by American CITIZENS to England to help protect the English SUBJECTS during early WWII.

This NEVER gets tired. First read it in your book years ago and it’s as fresh as ever. This ought to be required reading for school kids. Thanks again for the refreshing clarity and conviction~

Great essay. I wouldn’t expect less from Bill.

However, please don’t use “drunk driving” (which numbers are inflated) with the statistics on “alcohol related automobile accidents” (which is what is used in compiling the statistics).

If a perfectly sober driver hits a pedestrian who is carrying a bottle of beer, for statistical purposes it is considered an “alcohol related automobile accident.” Although the problem is real the statistics are false and inflated.

Maxsmodels – Since you’re a former police officer, you can validate (or disagree with) this statement with some authority: It is NOT the police’s job to PROTECT the people. It is their job to catch criminals AFTER they have committed a crime.

Also, there is no disparagement meant to the police by the observation, “When seconds count, the police are minutes away.” That’s just the nature of things, and ties in with the previous statement. If you can’t protect yourself, then you’ll have to pray the criminal doesn’t kill you, and that the police can catch him.
