Our Mission |
Big government is not simply the size of the budget, or the number of federal programs; it is the role the federal government plays in our daily lives.
We at the Lincoln Heritage Institute will not sit idly by and allow bloated bureaucracies, budensome tax policies, a failing public education system, and out of control regulatory system, and a growing disregard for the rule of law to become an accepted way of life.
We have as our purpose, through public education, the revitalization and preservation of our traditional political, social, commercial, and legal environment in which the only limits to achievement are individual ability and effort. |

Here Come The Gun Protestors |
|
by Neal Boortz, Nealz Nuze
A recent report says that in the U.S. there are 90 guns for every 100 citizens. This makes America the most heavily armed society in the world. Poor anti-gun moonbats, this is really going to get their thongs in a wad. Shame, really. I just hate it when that happens, even if they are dumber than a box of hair.
But let’s take a quick look at something. Switzerland ranks 5th on a per capita scale of gun ownership. In Switzerland there are 46 guns for every 100 citizens. In fact, they give all males assault rifles for militia service, and they keep them at home. And yet Switzerland is one of the safest places to be. Why is that? Culture. It’s America’s gangster, drug-dealing urban culture that brings us these deaths, not the guns.
There’s also a problem with the numbers. This report relied on government data to estimate civilian firearms. Are you telling me that Nigeria has just as comprehensive a system to monitor civilian gun usage as the United States? Do you think that governments would want to brag about the number of guns their civilians have? No. So relying on government data from each country is fruitless because it is collected completely differently, if at all. And it definitely cannot be considered consistent and accurate.
By the way, see if you can get our local anti-gun moonbat to explain why crime rates inevitably go down when people are allowed to carry concealed weapons. Ask the question – their stammering is really awfully fun to watch.
