You've Got Mail!

Letters are in the mail to more than 25-thousand gun permit holders in Berks County who may have had their personal information accessed.

Government. Is there anything it doesn't do well?

Damned Foraners Ruining it for Everybody

The Foran student approached another student in the hallway about 11:20 a.m. Friday and allegedly opened his backpack to reveal a pellet gun resembling a .45-caliber pistol...

What's with all these damned foraners either committing crimes with guns or demanding more "gun control"?

What?

Foreigners...?

Uh...never mind.

Demand to be a Victim

An 18-year old who was among the shooting victims at Dawson College last month is crusading for better gun control in Canada.

The Star's headline: "Shooting victim wants better gun control"

A more appropriate headline: "Man who won't defend himself demands all others be rendered just as contemptible"

Yeah, it's a tad long. Feel free to use the "Comments" to share the headline you would use.

Wyoming Sues BATFU

A federal agency is balking at a Wyoming law that allows people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence to regain their right to own guns simply because the agency wants to take guns away from as many people as possible, a state lawyer told a federal judge Friday.

You can read about what some victims did to "earn" a lifetime federal ban here (along with a tale about an anti-gun celebrity who has inexplicably managed to avoid becoming firearms-disabled).

I've said it before, and I'll keep repeating myself:

If you can't be trusted with a gun, you can't be trusted without a custodian.

An Incomplete Question


Well, yeah, of course they should. But so should the rest of us.

Right now, amazingly, "our" side is losing, albeit less than 300 people have voted thus far. If you're into these kinds of things, follow the title link and add your opinion to the mix.

No, it won't change anything, but if we don't overwhelm them, the antis will bray about public support being on their side, so what the hell...why not take 30 seconds?

I'll check back on the results tomorrow morning when I post.
