East Dundee Sheep Bleat in Protest

East Dundee trustees will vote Monday on two ordinances drafted following public outcry over the sale of firearms at a downtown business.

Trustees asked staff to draft the ordinances last month after residents complained about a sign with a photo of a handgun displayed in the window of owner Mike Catinella's M-M Sporting Goods, 215 Barrington Ave., in the historic area of downtown. The sign has been removed, but talk continues about what kind of image village leaders want for the historic downtown business district.

And Lord knows firearms have no place in our nation's history!

One can only wonder what other expressions of free speech the sheep will ask the wolves to outlaw. For their own peace of [mind?], of course.

Looks like their first attempt to quash this guy's business didn't work, so they're just continuing the harassment.

Doesn't the East Dundee municipal code have anything to say about farm animals wandering untended in a business zone?

"Enforce Existing Gun Laws"

Why don't we enforce the 20,000 gun laws currently on the books across the nation?

Just like "we" did here?

I have a better idea.

Why don't we just enforce this?

You Just Might Be a Gun Felon

Federal and local law enforcement officials are once again working together to imprison gun felons for a long time.

Of course, if you believe in your unalienable rights to keep and bear arms, and don't surrender that right in defiance of edicts you consider tyrannical and unconstitutional, you just might be a gun felon.

Thanks, Wayne! Good job teaming up with the Brady Bunch on "Project Exile"! But you never did get back to me on exactly where in the Constitution the fedgov has been delegated the authority to involve itself in this...

And here's the thing:

If you refused to register your previously lawfully purchased semiautomatic firearm in California, you just might be a gun felon.

If you believe your children's lives are worth protecting--even in "gun free school zones," you just might be a gun felon.

Reads like a Jeff Foxworthy routine, don't it?

Killer Guns

"It doesn't seem like Congress or the Senate recognize we've got 30,000 people a year being killed by handguns," Commissioner Johnson said. "As long as they don't take it seriously, it's never going to be resolved.

Boy, those "authorized journalists" over at the AP--they've really got the Brady Playbook down pat, don't they?
