Focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Mike McCarville reports that a group of U.S. Senators, including Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, has presented a group of bills that would provide real immigration reform without granting any form of amnesty:

All American Blogger presents an intriguing scenario--what would happen if John McCain picked a blue dog Democrat as a running mate?:

Dustin's Gun Blog is reporting that finally Fox has fired a tool posing as a news reporter. Remember Rebecca Aguilar and her shameful and inexcusable interview awhile back? Now her butt has been canned:

John Lott points out that the terrorist who attacked the Israeli seminary Thursday was stopped by an armed student:

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs does the best job of anyone I know in covering the attacks by Islamic extremists. She has the following two highly informative posts:

Michelle Malkin has all the news on the explosion at Times Square on Thursday, just outside the military recruiting station:

Malkin also reports that the city of Berkeley, California is still engaging in anti-American activity with regard to the military recruitment office there:

Nicki tells us why most voters should not vote. Apparently she shares my dim view of the U.S. electorate. The reason for the ignorance is the dumbing down of the population over the past 40 years as opposed to the years prior to the liberal propagandizing:

Say Uncle says that the NRA has put up a neat web page featuring ALL pertinent info on D.C. vs. Heller, including all of the filed briefs:

The Volokh Conspiracy informs us of the latest travesty committed by Harvard U. in designating certain hours in the gym as 'women only' in order to accommodate a handful of Muslim women. Would they do the same, say, for men who do not wish to exercise with homosexuals? Read the whole outrage here:

Volokh also has the follow-up to the story of the university employee that was disciplined because he 'read the wrong kind of reading material':

The MUST-read of the day is posted by Tam at A View from the Porch:

And for all of you William F. Buckley, Jr. fans, there are two articles worth your time. This one is entitled, 'What Would WFB Do?':

And this one was penned by Buckley himself, written as only he could, concerning the death of his beloved Mother in 1985:

With respect to Harvard: They have singled out men, because it is acceptable, it is politically correct to do so.
Enlightened Westerners properly decry the widespread mistreatment of women in the Islamic world. It is, therefore, astounding that the University is asking its student population to be respectful of Islamic women’s, frankly, medieval notions about men, especially when such notions deprive students of access to a University resource based solely on gender. Would a fair-minded person sense a double standard here? The question scarcely survives its statement.
Denying individuals equal access to a University resource based on the gender or race into which they were born cannot be justified by invoking terms such as “balancing interests” or de minimis harm. Harvard is heading down a slippery slope when it seeks to validate any form of gender discrimination in order to accommodate one cultural interest or another.
But as I say, hey, it's just men, so what the hell? THAT's the problem.
I'm voting for more commentary on this blog... even if it is in short bytes... (who knows how democratic this blog is)!
Joel,
I am both gratified and humbled that readers actually wish to digest the drivel that sometimes emanates from my demented mind.
However, a combination of illness and business has prevented me of late from doing much more than the Roundup.
As soon as things meander their way back to some semblance of normal, I will be rolling out my musings for the reading pleasure of the enlightened and for the sheer dread of the liberals.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Judge Peckham,
Of course, I fully agree with your assessment. It is yet another example of the liberal modus operandi, i.e., discrimination is acceptable if its purpose is to fight discrimination.
This only confirms William F. Buckley Jr.'s long-held belief that liberalism cannot withstand the piercing spotlight of rationality and logic.
