    Why Target Tucker Carlson? It's Part Of The Left's War On The Right

    The mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, have rightly shocked the nation. In our understandable collective furor over the senseless loss of life, all the old political divides are being revisited, now in a climate of often frightening blame, anger and distrust — from gun control to the role of extremist ideologies to mental health to responsibilities of political leaders not to inflame tensions

    A Universal-Background-Check Law Would Not Violate The Second Amendment

    The terrible shootings in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton in the past week have renewed cries for Washington, D.C., to do something. In our federal system, the most effective responses will have to come from state and local governments, which have the primary responsibility and the broadest tools for reducing violent crime. But the president and Congress can act in one area, the rules for buying guns.

    The Democrats Have An Aaron Sorkin Candidate, So Why Isn’t He Soaring Higher In the Polls?

    Go down the long list of Democratic presidential candidates – past the senators, congressmen and even the self-help author – and two names are missing: Presidents Josiah Bartlet and Andrew Shepherd.

    Some Slight Freedom Of Speech In Canada

    Last month, I spent about 18 days at my cottage in Canada. I have a few friends there who smoke cigarettes and over the last few years I’ve brought back empty cigarette packages with the plan to post about them on EconLog. I’ve never got around to it until now.

    Jackson: Will Free Markets Clean Up California’s Dirty Water?

    The New York Times has discovered that many of California’s public water systems are fonts of deep trouble. This might be news outside the state, but residents have been aware of the problems for some time. So have officials -- whose responses are never adequate.

    A Libertarian Think Tank (Still) Did Not Find That Medicare For All Saves Money

    The right-wing Mercatus Center found in 2018 that the Sanders plan reduces overall health spending by $2 trillion in the first 10 years. The nonpartisan Rand Corporation has constructed a similar single-payer plan, with pay-fors, for New York State that would result in health-care savings for all families making less than 1,000 percent of the poverty line ($276,100 for a family of four).
