Hunting and fishing are as fundamentally American as apple pie and the Star-Spangled Banner. Thus, it is surprising and a bit unnerving that many feel the need to protect these traditions from those who would encroach on this time-honored pastime.  But that’s exactly what [...]

There are patently foolish ideas, and then there are those currently pushed by so-called leaders in Sacramento. The California city is battling a spike in violent crime, and these politicians are scrambling to appear to be doing “something.” Apparently, it does not matter what [...]
