We're the Only Ones Driving Enough

Two police officers patrolling the beach in an SUV ran over and killed a sunbather Monday, authorities said.

The officers did not immediately realize they ran over the woman and continued driving...
Oh, yes--here's the kicker we all knew was coming--after all, they are The Only Ones:
The officers have been placed on paid leave pending an investigation.

We're the Only Ones Thorough Enough

Jimmy Coney had [the gun] in his waistband, but...Corrections Officer Michael Venit failed to find it during a search...Officer Venit was suspended for one-day for neglecting his job duties.
Whoa, one day? Don't you think you guys are being a little heavy-handed? After all, he is one of The Only Ones...

Going UP...

Violent crime, that is.

Here:
Murders jumped...from 330 to 377 in Philadelphia, a 14 percent rise...
and here:
He said...Richmond, Va., [has] also seen significant and even record increases in violent crime.
But...but...but...

Where's Alan?


Here's the NRA statement on the legal defeat of the San Francisco handgun ban:
This ruling supports the premise of NRA's argument.

The NRA filed it's lawsuit soon after Proposition H passed...

The NRA is determined not to see this gross injustice happen again...
Meanwhile, true to form, here's the statement from SAF:
“We’re proud to have worked once again with the National Rifle Association..."
Once again, SAF shares credit and NRA claims it all for themselves.

Why
does this
keep happening?

Have Gun, Will Pistol Whip

Eminem has signed on to star in the big screen adaptation of the CBS series Have Gun - Will Travel for Paramount Pictures and Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films.
Leave it to Hollywood to screw up a classic.

I'm surprised the studio armorers can provide a gun to him without running afoul of the "prohibited persons" clause...
