The former are willing to recognize that defensive arms in the right hands can be socially beneficial. The latter deny that firearms do in fact save lives.

Eagles of Death Metal recently finished a Canadian tour and I got to sit down with vocalist Jesse Hughes and discuss the Bataclan attack in Paris that killed 89 of his fans. You’d think he’d want to avoid the topic, but he was actually eager to get into it. He sees it as a catharsis.

California is awesome.  It is huge, and varied in people, environments, and cultures.  And it’s a seething cauldron of bizarre ‘progressive’ agendas. We’ve been following some of them through this year’s legislative session.  Two of DRGO’s chief activists, Drs.
