Setting the Standard

In 1998, an IG report found that the ATF contract employees had improperly destroyed NFA records, and ATF employees had not followed proper procedures during the registration. This bureaucratic mess has left many of my constituents with potentially illegal guns solely because of ATF mistakes.
Ryan Horsley documents more BATFU negligence, incompetence and hypocrisy.

We're the Only Ones 'Roid Ragin' Enough

Six New York City police officers are under investigation for possibly obtaining anabolic steroids improperly, police said late last night.

You talkin' to ME...?

Naturally, no arrests were made. At least of "The Only Ones," although it looks like the pharmacy employee and clinic operators won't be afforded the same exemptions.

And if a beefed-up raging ape throws a beating your way, just remember not to lift any fingers...

We're the Only Ones Not Surprised Enough

Deputy Police Commissioner Kieran Walsh says he is not suprised by the findings of a report outlining concerns over corrupt cells within Victoria Police.
I'm not surprised.

Color Me Perplexed

A month after civic leaders and the police chief in this crime-plagued city called for 10,000 black men to patrol the streets, thousands arrived Sunday by foot, car, motorcycle, bus, in wheelchairs, with sons and nephews in tow.
How come when people who are not exclusively black do essentially the same thing along our southern border, that is, look for violations of law and report them to the authorities, they are branded as racists and vigilantes?

Hold the Anchovies: Kim Landers Reporting

Yet in some states like Pennsylvania, getting a gun is almost as easy as ordering a pizza.
OK, Kim, let's see you prove that by extending the analogy you created. Call a gun shop and have them deliver a made-to-order firearm to your house--and remember, you don't need to go through a background check to order a pizza.
KIM LANDERS: How easy is it to get a gun in Philadelphia?

RAY JONES: Extremely easy. I mean, just any kid that I know in the neighbourhood zone, which we walked, either know someone who has a gun or they know where they go and ask somebody to get a gun. So, it's very, very easy.

Oh wait a minute, I see now--you're talking about purchases that violate the law. Sorry, your deceptive pizza analogy threw me off there for a second, because those transactions always take place through licensed businesses that follow applicable laws.

So what you're saying is, it's almost as easy to break the law as to order a pizza? Well duh, Kim.

So having established that breaking the law is as easy as ordering a pizza, why on earth would any rational person be calling for more laws to break? Are we trying to make it as easy as ordering multiple pizzas, or what?

Great unbiased straight news "reporting," there, Kim. Sometimes I wonder if you need to take some kind of stupid lying propagandist test to become an "authorized journalist." Personally, I expect more competent service from the pizza delivery man.
