More like this please: The so called War on Drugs has not succeeded in making significant reductions in drug use, drug arrests or violence.

2010 was the year of the 380. 2011 looks like a bump in 9mm and larger calibers. With everyone making single stack and pocket 9mms, I’m not surprised. Except Glock, who I’ve been saying should do that for a long time.

Chris Cox has a piece in the Tennessean on how her actions are louder than words:

State Representative Maggart, the Republican Caucus Chair of the State House, claims she supports gun owners, but her actions tell a different story. This past year in the legislature she worked to kill life-saving legislation known as the Safe Commute Act. This common-sense reform bill would have allowed Tennesseans the ability to defend themselves against violence as they commuted to and from work. She blocked the bill from coming up for a full and fair vote through procedural maneuvering behind closed doors. I know – because I was there.
