Vacation, All I Ever Wanted...

I've been on full system burn for the past 5 months, working 7 days a week at my "real" job, posting to this site, and turning in my magazine columns by deadline.

I'm taking 2 weeks off. Posting will be sporadic.

Vistors are invited to make yourselves at home. Go ahead and explore all the rooms, put your feet up on the furniture and scrounge around in the fridge. There's archives over in that column on the left, as well as links to other blogs that have the good taste and sound judgment to link back to WoG.

I'll be checking in from time to time to see if the place has burned down yet, or if anybody needs a beer or something...

Brady Center: Ginning Up Jonesboro

"You kill five people in cold blood, shocking an entire nation. You go to prison. Seven years later, you get out, and you are free to buy all the guns you want."
Sounds like a perfect reason to disarm you and me.

"[T]his is a textbook case of an individual who should be deemed by society as forever barred from the privilege of owning a gun."

Well, doesn't this little revelation prove the lie that they're not interested in disarming Americans--only in having "sensible gun laws"?

It ain't a "privilege."

True, it's outrageous that the "justice" system reintroduces monsters in our midst. As long as it does, expecting the rest of us to be even more defenseless is criminal and insane.

My thoughts on the effectiveness of laws that disarm segments of our non-incarcerated society--for whatever reason--can be found here.

Bottom line: Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.

Gun Law News: Request for Information - Sullivan Act

"We are beginning an investigation into the origins of and precursors to the Sullivan Act. We have a fair amount of information and the text to some New York Times editorials. What we need is more, and better sourcing for our information. We need quotes, with firm sources and, if possible PDF files. This would be especially true of any newspaper articles or editorials. If you have any information related to this, please forward it to us via Feedback."

Seems like a worthy and potentially fruitful venture.

As an aside, I have found the GLN site to be an excellent resource. RKBA activists would do well to bookmark and visit it regularly, and add it to the roll if you have a blog.
