'The Smutty Professor' Shows Perverted Anti-Gun Academic Bias

Still, if the Smutty Professor would step out of the booth and promise to keep his trench coat buttoned, and also not to touch us, perhaps we could give his ideas some consideration. What would happen if we took his "hands-on" approach and treated guns like porn? [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column gives The Smutty Professor all the serious consideration he deserves.

Help me sprea...uh...promote this one? I'd like to see the name stic...uh...attach itself.

When "Authorized Journalists" and "Only Ones" Collide

Ex-city cop and TV reporter Mike Sheehan pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving drunk and slamming into an NYPD horse. [More]
It sounds like the premise for a situation comedy episode.

Hey, do you think as a 25-year veteran of Furious Mike's finest that this will jeopardize his ability to be considered more trustworthy with a gun than you or me? I ask because if he'd broken it's leg, well, they shoot horses, don't they?

In the Navy

An American destroyer has reportedly fired live rounds at the northern Polish coast while disposed of the combat-ready mode it had assumed during joint naval drills. [More]
Correspondent Brian F, who sent me this link, thinks just because your gun is bigger doesn't mean Col. Cooper's rules don't apply.

We're the Only Ones Even Onlier Enough

A traffic stop involving a young officer and the son of a small-town mayor has the whole town talking. The mayor of Stockton tried to fire the officer for issuing his son a ticket. [More]
Because there are "Only Ones" and then there are Extra Special Mega-Super "Only Ones."

I wonder how the town council meeting went? I see his Lordship's edress--maybe I could ask him? And at the same time pass along my respects for being so much more privileged and immune than I could ever hope to be...?

The Right of the People to Beg for Permission to Keep and Bear Arms...

...shall not be infringed. [More]

As with so much on the internet, I can't verify this or tie it in to an actual Texas middle school. Still, it's not like the sentiment that government is the bestower of RKBA hasn't been proclaimed from the very highest levels, as commentator Orygunner notes...

Meanwhile, Still Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

A council official's son who allegedly stabbed two burglars breaking into his mother's home has been charged with murder. [More]
That explains why you're not allowed to have the means of defense: you're not allowed to defend yourself.

And here I thought it was for a reason that didn't make sense.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Gun crime goes up by 89% in a decade [More]
Maybe they should, I don't know, ban them or something...

Forgive Us Our Sins

It’s generally understood in the ranks of government that if stonewalling and falsifying the evidence doesn’t work, and that if “sovereign immunity” isn’t enough to get a government employee off the hook, he or she can expect executive clemency. [More]
The path to salvation, government-style.

We're the Only Ones Dog Lovers Enough

"Essentially, he was touching the dog's penis with his hand," Beasley said. "The others were there filming it. That's actually how we learned of it -- there's a video." [More]
Good grief.

I guess when it comes to "Only Ones" and dogs, it beats the alternative...

And I have plenty more where those came from. As long as the Bradys don't think I'm the one being too denigrating to law enforcement...

Does Denying Guns to 'Prohibited Persons' Ensure Public Safety?

I have some questions for discussion... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at "criminals" and guns.

Also access columns of interest from Seattle and Ohio, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: October 30

By this Opportunity, I do myself the pleasure to congratulate you on the signal success of the Army under your command, in compelling Genl. Burgoyne and his whole force, to surrender themselves prisoners of War. An Event that does the highest honor to the American Arms, and which, I hope, will be attended with the most extensive and happy consequences. At the same time, I cannot but regret, that a matter of such magnitude and so interesting to our General Operations, should have reached me by report only, or thro' the Channel of Letters, not bearing that authenticity, which the importance of it required, and which it would have received by a line under your signature, stating the simple fact.
