The Labyrinthine World

The National Rifle Association and its two arms for lobbying and campaign contributions may have systemically violated political spending law, a new report claims. [More]

We'll have to see how this one plays out. I do find it interesting it has not yet resulted in a categorical denial and an accusation that it's "bull****."

That said, there are undoubtedly enemies who will pull every arcane trick in the book, so suspending any conclusions until this one plays out more seems in order...

On Common Ground

As a liberal Democrat, I worry about the damage we might do by rushing toward a fresh raft of gun-control laws. It's very hard to demonstrate that most of them -- registration, waiting periods, one-gun-a-month laws, closing the gun-show loophole, large-capacity-magazine restrictions, assault-rifle bans -- have ever saved a life... 

Gun control not only does no practical good, it actively causes harm. [More]

So "as a liberal Democrat," do you feel no complicity for enabling that harm, by giving aid and comfort to those "liberal Democrats" inflicting it on us?

I mean, it's fine and good that you say you understand the truth about "gun control." Now bring yourself up to speed on the evils of collectivists usurping undelegated authority, and we just might find some of that "common ground" your side keeps making noises about as they advance from a beachhead they've already captured and controlled.

Westminster cops are still issued revolvers?

The good thing is, being in Southern California pretty much assures that the "Only Ones" legally allowed to carry were in total control of a criminal situation.

Our police don't have the guns to protect us... [More]

What makes you think they're interested in protecting you?

Besides, whose job is that, anyway?

We're the Only Ones Unplanned Enough

The accidental discharge was just one of 29 unplanned shootings by the city's police officers since 2005, when the department began tracking all shots fired, planned or otherwise. [More]

 Not just "Only Ones." San Francisco "Only Ones."

Hey, it's not like an example hasn't been set for them by top management...
