Bracing for Revocation

Ryan Horsley has some rules for gun dealers that they would do well to learn and heed.

Americans United for What Again...?

I just sent a follow-up email to our pals at Americans United for Separation of Church and State:

I didn't realize the name of your organization was Americans United for Separation of Non-Left Wing Churches and State. You've had ample time to "look into" the Mike Pfleger issue and it's evident from your lack of response that you intend to ignore it.

So would it be fair to tell people your whole mission is just to go after churches from the right--leaving churches on the left free to use their 501(c)(3) tax exemptions to effect their (and presumably your?) political agenda?


We're the Only Ones at "A Place for Friends" Enough

Police charged a 24-year-old city man with illegal weapons possession after he posted photos of himself with the gun on his myspace.com Web page and detectives determined he had no permit for the weapon...
I haven't been able to locate the page and picture in question, but I'm curious--if the picture was taken inside, how would the police be able to determine it was taken in New York?

Fire Dept. Firearms Under Fire

"I don't know how appropriate I feel it is for a department that is out for our safety," said Donna Rauch of Girdletree.
Donna--you remember that line about opening your mouth and removing all doubt?

We're the Only Ones White Enough

A former police officer from Henderson is in police custody. The man, who may have ties to the KKK, allegedly chased a black couple while brandishing a gun.

And Jesse Jackson, who has bodyguards, shares the assailant's sentiment in wanting to make sure that black couple stays unarmed.

Why They Hate the Second Amendment

2A from a Christian perspective, submitted by Paul W. Davis who says "I know the liberals and gun grabbers won't like this. But I also know many gun owners will get angry as well. However, it is true."

We're the Only Ones Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bacy Enough

A police officer was shot in the wrist when the service weapon that she kept under her pillow went off. Albany police Sgt. Kinshishi Adams, 34, was lying in bed Sunday when a .40 caliber pistol she kept under her pillow discharged and struck her in her left wrist...She apparently sleeps with a weapon under her pillow, and somehow it discharged.
Since she has one of those special "Only Ones" guns that goes off all by its own self, too bad it didn't have a snooze button she could hit so it would go off again in 10 minutes.

Kinshishi?

PS: In my morning scans I saw Shooting the Messenger had a very similar post--looks like great minds think alike :)

This Day in History: June 13

I am further directed to inform your Excellencies, that Congress are inclined to peace, notwithstanding the unjust claims from which this war originated, and the savage manner in which it hath been conducted; they will therefore be contented to enter upon a consideration of a treaty of peace and commerce, not inconsistent with treaties already subsisting, when the King of Great Britain shall demonstrate a sincere disposition for that purpose. The only solid proof of this disposition will be an explicit acknowledgement of the independence of these states, or the withdrawing his fleets and armies.
