21ST CENTURY GUN CONTROL: Bill Would Require All South Dakota Citizens To Buy A Gun. I don’t think this bill makes the constitutional point its sponsor intends — state governments, unlike the federal government, are not limited to enumerated powers. But even the federal government could require citizens to own guns under its militia power, as opposed to the commerce power. In fact, it did just that in the Militia Act of 1792, but I rather doubt that this power would extend to requiring ObamaCare under that clause, which empowers Congress “To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.”

UPDATE: Leon Wieseltier: “What is not unclear, however, is that the Obama administration, and American liberals more generally, have been caught intellectually unprepared for this crisis.” Among many. Plus this: “It was a terrible mistake for Obama to make democratization seem like an ‘imposition,’ with its imperialist implications, and to conflate it with military invasion.” Terrible, yet more or less inevitable.

TIM CAVANAUGH: “As Sinclair Lewis should have said, when segregation returns to American public schools it will come wrapped in a union contract and carrying a copy of The State of America’s Children.”

Plus this: “The idea seems to be that segregation is bad when it results from the choices made by private people, but helpful when it’s clothed in liberal good intentions and forced on students deemed to be collectively underperforming.” Actually, isn’t that pretty much how we got segregation the first time?

HE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BEDBUGS, THE SNOW, OR THE TRASH PILEUP, but Mike Bloomberg’s running anti-gun sting operations in Arizona? I wonder if he’s violating Federal law by making illegal straw purchases again?

Anyway, it seems like Bloomberg should have been sending his undercover agents to investigate the ATF instead.

MARKDOWNS ON 50″ and larger HDTVs. You know, I have to admit that I look at the 46″ TV in my basement — which seemed huge a couple of years ago — and now I think “Hmm, maybe a 60″ would be nice.” Is that wrong?

OIL SANDS HELPING TO HOLD DOWN AMERICAN PRICES. Well, good. More:

Cushing is flush partly because demand in the United States is only slowly recovering. But most of all, it is a result of increasing imports of refined synthetic oil produced from Canadian oil sands, now the single most important source of imported oil.

Canadian oil producers love the way that Americans are growing increasingly dependent on them as opposed to our trading partners in the Persian Gulf. It is no coincidence that while most of the world’s stock exchanges experienced declines on Friday related to the crisis in Egypt, the Canadian stock market rallied. Particularly strong were the oil sands company stocks.

The shifting oil trade and the Egyptian crisis come as the controversy over the Keystone pipeline is heating up. The State Department needs to decide whether to grant approval to the pipeline, which is designed to substantially expand the flow of Canadian synthetic crude to the United States.

Seems like this is a good time. Read the whole thing, and forward it to your congressman.

UPDATE: Jim Bennett emails:

Being dependent on Canada rather than Saudi Arabia is a problem? Why? Will they use all the money to finance Tim Horton’s doughnut franchises worldwide instead of madrassas? Force us to give up the fourth down?

Bring it on.

Hey, the story says the Canadians like it. It doesn’t say it’s a bad thing. And I’d take doughnuts over madrassas any day.

AN ATF GUN-RUNNING SCANDAL? Senator examines claim that 2 guns from ATF-sanctioned sales were used in border shootout. “Members of the Judiciary Committee have received numerous allegations that the ATF sanctioned the sale of hundreds of assault weapons to suspected straw buyers, who then allegedly transported these weapons throughout the Southwest border area and into Mexico.” Kinda puts a new complexion on those claims about U.S. weapons winding up in the hands of Mexican drug gangs, doesn’t it. . . .

A copy of the letter is here.

Plus, is the ATF going after a whistleblower? (Bumped).

BYRON YORK: Egypt’s Conflicting Views of Democracy And Religion.

Last year the Pew Research Center Global Attitudes Project conducted a survey of opinion in several Muslim countries. The subject was the proper role of Islam in politics and society. One of the countries surveyed was Egypt, and among other discoveries, the Pew researchers found that 84 percent of Egyptians favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim religion.

In another survey, Pew found that 90 percent of Egyptians say they believe in freedom of religion. Pew also found that a majority of Egyptians think democracy, with protections of free speech and assembly, is “preferable to any other kind of government.”

How can those attitudes fit together in a democratic post-Mubarak Egypt? It’s no wonder so many people can’t figure out what is next.

Read the whole thing.
