Second Amendment Blog Carnival

Free Constitution treats us to a special carnival. Let's hope this becomes a regular feature--hopefully, enough bloggers will support it with material, and direct enough traffic Stan's way to make it worth the hard work he's doing to bring this to us.

UK Imposes Squirt Gun Control

The order authorises the company to prohibit or limit the use of water. It means the clowns will not be able to use water pistols or squirt water from plastic flowers.

And the clown promulgating this nonsense describes it as "sensible."

Why Disarming You and Me Makes Sense

LOS ANGELES HAS MORE CRIMINALS than it can afford. So county officials are forced to release too many jail inmates too early, putting thousands of convicted criminals on the street — with predictably tragic consequences not only for their victims but for public trust in government...

The Times reported last week that seven men have committed murders when they should have been serving out their sentences for other crimes. Nine more are awaiting trial for homicide. Of the nearly 16,000 other criminals rearrested while their earlier sentences were still in force, 518 were charged with robbery, 641 with weapons violations and 1,443 with assault.

The answer, of course, is to give up those nasty, dangerous guns and rely on the government to protect us. No?

It still sometimes amazes me that this is even a debate.

That Mexican Gun Control Sure Is Working

Assailants firing assault rifles killed a Nuevo Laredo police officer and wounded his partner, the 11th law enforcement official to be gunned down this year in this violent border city...The death of the officer brings to 116 the number of people slain this year in Nuevo Laredo, a city of 300,000 across the Rio Grande from Laredo.

The city is in the midst of a turf battle between drug cartels battling for billion-dollar drug routes into the United States.

And the fools/outright traitors in the administration and senate think their dangerous, stupid and treasonous amnesty bill will have any effect on violent men--with billions of incentives--like these?

All it will guarantee is even more violent inner cities, more "law enforcement" and more domestic corruptiion.

Oh, and then calls for more "gun control"--you know, the kind of laws they have in, say, Mexico...

BATFU Investigating Bloomberg

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is examining the results of an unusual sting set up by the City of New York, in which private investigators recorded themselves purchasing handguns at shops in several states...

In a twist, ATF's inquiry will also include a review of whether the city acted legally in setting up the sting.

Several gun-rights advocates have questioned whether the city itself broke firearms rules or committed fraud by attempting to simulate straw sales in other states...

Well it's about damned time the "authorized journalists" began noticing this aspect of the story.

War On Guns has only been harping on this since May 15.

This Day in History: May 27

On this day in 1813, former President Thomas Jefferson writes former President John Adams to let him know that their mutual friend, Dr. Benjamin Rush, has died.

Rush’s passing caused Jefferson to meditate upon the departure of the Revolutionary generation. He wrote, “We too must go; and that ere long. I believe we are under half a dozen at present; I mean the signers of the Declaration.”

We're the Only Ones...I Don't Know What the Hell We Are, But It Certainly Seems Pretty Damned Twisted...

One State Police trooper was suspended for six months last year for allowing an unlicensed worker to sell firearms at a gun shop that the trooper was responsible for inspecting and where he purchased numerous weapons for himself. Another resigned after pleading guilty to internal charges for inviting two boys to his home and showing them pornography.

Three others were suspended for 120 days for causing motor vehicle accidents while off-duty because they were under the influence. A fourth got docked 20 days for being drunk behind the wheel of a state-issued car while he was out of uniform...

The infractions included using excessive force during an arrest, lying to protect an off-duty trooper under investigation, mishandling and destroying evidence, falsifying official reports and disobeying orders.

The important thing to remember is, we're the only ones...

And don't you forget it.

Kiss This

Mayor Bob Kiss, stepping into sensitive political territory in just his second month in office, responded to a shooting incident in the city by calling for greater gun control...

"I really have concerns in general about handguns and the fact there's maybe more prevalence in the world to the use of violence," Kiss said.

This is in Vermont.

Think of this guy as a cancerous cell...
