GRE Round Up for December 15

Here are the latest offerings from my fellow GREs:

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

We're the Only...Bob? Is That You?

The raid yielded three drug-related arrests, but two of the arrestees turned out to be police informants, and the third was an undercover police officer. [More]
And remember: "If we lose cops, we lose."

Liberty News...

Safer Streets...

You know the drill.

Yet Another Public/Private Partnership

Because "economic fascism" is such an ugly term...[Read]

Hey, what is it about this theme today: one, two and now we have us a bonafide "spate."

[Via OFF]

We're the Only Ones Information Processing Enough

Fla. cop fired over link to home invasion 

Officer allegedly used a law enforcement database to retrieve the address of a man feuding with her cousin [More]
Why is it you don't want the "Only Ones" having a gun owner database again? If you're not doing anything wrong, what is it you've got to hide?

[Via OFF]

"No Charges Have Been Filed Against the Shopper"

How about giving him some kind of award? [Read]

Homies on the Range

Why don't they just use the streets like everybody else? [Read]

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Another Public/Private Partnership

The Orwellian-named "Patriot App"...for all your snitching-to-the-camp-guards needs...[Read]

[Via David O]

A Public/Private Partnership

Jesse Mathewson weighs in on this story. [Read]

Some People Shouldn't Have Guns

Some people shouldn't have chicken. [Read]

Anybody who can't be trusted with a drumstick can't be trusted without a custodian.

Hey!

Did you do this yet?

Tolerance and Diversity



I know some academic leftist "feminist" tolerance and diversity "activists" who would be treated in precisely this manner if the whip-wielders had their way. Actually worse--all this poor creature did was wear slacks. Can you imagine what these savages would do to a woman who committed more serious expected gender behavior-related "transgressions"?

But it's us throwbacks who are the enemy.

Maybe we could get a few of those guys to immigrate here, maybe drive the cabs Americans won't drive, and basically help us secure the blessings of Liberty, seeing as how all cultures are equal and we should celebrate our diversity or else we'll get called the "R" word by the very people they'd cheerfully stone to death.

"View Larger Version"

No thanks. The one I see is quite close enough. [Read]

Although for some reason, I can't get this out of my head.

Yo, Elohim, dude-- d'jever stop to think it might be you...?

I wonder what some of our gun control luminaries would do if this young worthy decided he wanted something from them...?

Vomit?

Surrender?

Scream?

Pop?

Why, Indeed?

I ask a question based on Kurt's GRE post yesterday.

And yeah, I see-- I left out the "to."

Persian carpet-weaving at its finest...right?

Super Fly

I note the Fly Cuts & Styles barber shop is in Sacramento, essentially "shall not issue" territory unless you're a politically-connected elite, and as we all know, open carry in CA requires the guns be unloaded. [Read]

Might it be safe to assume that myriad Golden State "gun control" laws didn't stop a damn thing here?

We're the Only Ones Influenced Enough

In May, gun industry lobbyist Lawrence Keane gave the FOP's charitable arm $100,000 from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the industry group representing gun manufacturers. Keane said the gift was unrelated to the FOP's positions on issues. [More]
I should hope it was unrelated. In spite of the occasional concession, the frickin' FOP has been a leading voice for citizen disarmament since the old HCI days, and makes it clear their priorities are ones of your rights be damned when they conflict with their self-interest.

And how interesting to see their former BATFUer lobbyist Pasco is BFF with Waco Jim

How typical that the Judenrat contingent thinks if it plays nice the monster won't turn on it.  And how timely that I saw this talking point advocated the other day by an apologist for a more pragmatic approach:

If we lose cops, we lose.

Yeah, right.  Pray that approach will work. I mean, as long as "we" are already on our knees...

Florida school board shooting shows failure of ‘gun control’ on multiple counts

Superintendent Bill Husfelt, who acted bravely, albeit futilely, had time to say “Please don’t” before assailant Duke opened fire.  The rest had to resign themselves to diving for cover in terror.
Why? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a failed three strikes policy: "Gun-free zones," expecting criminals to obey "gun control" laws, and relying on the "Only Ones" to protect you.

Talk about special education.

What's the definition of insanity, again? 

Also celebrate a special day, make a special phone call, pledge yourself to a special resolution and watch a special program.

Do something special and share the link?

This Day in History: December 15

The Battle of St. Lucia or the Battle of the Cul de Sac was a naval battle fought off the island of St. Lucia in the West Indies during the American War of Independence on 15 December 1778, between the British Royal Navy and the French Navy. [More]
And yes, of course I know what else happened, and talk about it in a sub-feature here. I'm working 1778 this year.
