Gun Not Good Enough for "Only Ones"

When a bullet exploded through her living room's bay window less than 10 feet from her, the initial response of a startled Elise Nakhnihian was to find the projectile.

Her husband, Steven Gittelson, had another idea: Stay out of sight and call the cops...

The couple couldn't have imagined that it was a Princeton Borough police officer's bullet that rocketed into their stately Governors Lane condominium...The shooting was the result of an allegedly malfunctioning rifle that discharged the bullet at the police firearms training range on River Road in the township without the officer who was holding the weapon even pulling the trigger, borough and township police said yesterday.
Just as I suspected. It's the gun's fault.

The "Only Ones" Loophole

A small number of the gun cases dropped in the state court involved city officers who themselves got in trouble with the law.
Well, du-uh. That's why they're "the only ones."

Justice Triumphs!

Young Jeezy escaped two gun charges due to insufficient evidence, stemming back to a March shooting incident in Miami.
Thank goodness!

Why the very thought of such a nice young man being in trouble is just too incredible to believe. And this was particularly hard to cope with, as Young Jeezy has been a personal hero of mine for some time.

We're the Only Ones, Eh?

A gun-crazy Canada Customs officer has been fired for posing as Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry with automatic weapons on the Internet...

Airport sources said the photos show the fired officer with a machine-gun. In one photograph the firearm was held to a smirking co-worker's head...
Do you feel lucky? Well do you, hoser?

Of Course

Saying more than half of all firearms used in street crimes come from 1 percent of licensed gun dealers, Attorney General Bill Lockyer joined gun control advocates Tuesday in a campaign to crack down on gun trafficking.
California, of course, has all of the "reasonable gun control laws" the antis clamor for in other states. But they're not enough. They're never enough.

Lockyer, of course, says you have no right to keep and bear arms, and is backed up by both the state Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

And the gutless US Supreme Court, of course, keeps ducking the issue, despite a clear conflict between federal courts.

Just a Question...

Where was Mike Bloomberg's Straw Purchase Squad when Sarah Brady bought her son that "sniper rifle"?
