Appeals court deals latest blow to Reese family by overturning new trial

This latest ruling is another in a series of heavy blows against a family which has endured an ordeal approaching three years. [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner notes the outrage continues – and perhaps most outrageous of all is how few gun owners know about this story, and of those who do, how many have done something concrete to help this family.

We're the Only Ones Smart Enough

Smart enough not to use these dangerously dumb things... [More]

And if they won't, why would we?

OLGAKHAZAN!

Oh, wait, I read this sorry excuse for magical "thinking" and my first thought was "Alakazam!" [More]

First of all, idiot, you'd better start with these guys.

It's like every few years they dust off old lies to spring on a new crop that hasn't heard them before.  The comparison isn't between justifiable homicides and suicides, the comparison is between DGUs and suicides.

Gee, I wonder why they keep doing that?

And yet again there is no attempt to distinguish lawful gun owners from gun possessors, a criminal class with higher incidents of contributing factors including chronic drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, increased negative health, spiritual and moral issues, and a general higher preponderance for making poor and stupid choices.

Not that any of these arguments need to be made, as RKBA is not subject to debate, especially with a Prozi hive insect queen who agrees with removing all firearms from the home, and would, in fact, rather see you dead than armed.

I wonder how much use ol' Olga would be in a situation where a successful DGU is the only way out.

No I don't, but considering subversive crap like this, I couldn't feel too sorry for her and the editors of The Atlantic if they ever found sudden incentive to reconsider.

Help Me Darrell, Help, Help Me Darrell...

...Help me Darrell, help, help me Darrel
Help me Darrell, yeah
Get 'em outta my store. [More]

I'll be surprised if he does any time soon. The complexities of this case are many, and so much is still unknown and unfolding.

Politicians are, first and foremost, creatures of self-interest, plus the guy's got a pretty full plate.

I won't mind being dead wrong on my assessment.

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions

The answer is even dumber. [More]

"Authorized Journalists" and "government officials"...

Unbelievable.

None the Weisser

An anti-gun rights FFL is butthurt (see comments). [More]

Awww.

Principled gun owners would have nothing to do with the guy.

Of course, neither would principled gun companies.

Look for the Antis to Start Shrieking About...

...the ARMagLock loophole... [More]

A Good Guy with a Gun

Of course the MILMs and their "Authorized Journalist" cheerleaders would rather the woman manager had been stabbed to death than have armed customers in the store. [More]

Really. They truly would.

Issa subpoenas ‘storefront sting’ documents, questions Jones’ leadership of ATF

“It is surprising that failures such as Operation Fearless in Milwaukee occurred despite this enhance oversight from ATF leadership, and these operations call into question your leadership at ATF,” Issa wrote. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes so much for the complaint the antis used before Jones was confirmed that ATF failures were due to lack of permanent leadership.

Tread Lightly

[More]
A bumper sticker contest? Cool!

Except this one seems better suited to Prozis than their "Opposite Day" hijacking of a patriotic symbol of resistance to tyranny:

An Interesting Conjecture

My belief - and it's just a belief - that what is going to go down is this:
Completed, now former 80% AR-15, AR-10 and/or 1911 lowers, are going to somehow "mysteriously" make it across the border to Mexico.   People who have been buying these lowers will be connected, through paperwork, to these illicit, 'international arm sales' that suddenly show up in some 'Mexican massacre'.   The president of Mexico will make a big international stink over it and 'force' the US to 'act'.   "These are your guns ..." they'll say, "they come from your loose gun laws and sold to us by your citizens - you must act!" [More]
It's not like that doesn't fit an established M.O.

We're the Only Ones Terrorizing Enough

A resident in a neighboring building told us that he and his partner "were utterly confused and frankly terrorized...I literally had a flashlight-gun pointed at me from a sniper on top of the black armored truck the first time I opened our window to see what was going on." [More]
And remember, they hate us 'cause we're free!
