We're the Only Ones in the Wrong Place Enough

According to eyewitnesses who attended the party at 419 E. 93rd Street last weekend, the police arrived at the wrong residence and were overly aggressive with the partying teenagers who they assumed to be in a possession of a handgun.

In the midst of the action, a shot was fired by a sergeant (whose name has not yet been released to the public). The officer, a veteran of the force, wounded 15-year-old Luke Saintil from Staten Island in his left calf.

A new twist to a story we discussed the other day...

Good grief.

See, We've Had it Wrong All This Time...

Assemblymember Sam Hoyt (D-Buffalo, Grand Island) and Assemblywoman Crystal D. Peoples announced today legislation they will soon introduce which will create new safety measures for gun sales and store security.

Evidently, it's "the right of the Peoples (and the Hoyts, and the Schumers and the Kennedys...) to keep and bear arms..."

How embarrassing.

Did CRPA Endorse Arnold?

Angelides noted that Arnold won the endorsement of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, the state wing of the National Rifle Association, and quickly pounced on connecting the NRA with the Governor.

Interesting, since The Hessian signed the .50 ban.

There's nothing on the CRPA site about this and I haven't located anything via search engines other than this partisan release. I'll keep looking, and I've just emailed the publisher of "The Majority Report" with a request for his source. Meanwhile, if anybody knows anything about this, or gets The Firing Line or CRPA mailers, please chime in...

Hide and Seek

COPS have vowed to hunt down gun crooks who hide deadly weapons in public.

Faced with a mandatory five-year jail term for carrying guns, crooks are instead stashing them in communal areas on estates - within easy reach of kids.

Sounds like the concept of "community guns" has made its way across the pond. And for all the hoopla, hysteria, and expense, it sounds like all the hapless bobbies have found is one BB gun ("capable of firing pellets that could blind a child"!!!)

And horrors! Who among us would ever intentionally damage a public surveillance camera?

We're the Only Ones Buying Back Anonymously Enough

Calgary police are investigating one of their own after allegations a cop tasked with taking weapons off the street instead bought two firearms from a citizen to sell to a gun shop...Sources say the cop, who the Sun is not naming, is a veteran officer with close to 20 years experience.

Of course they're not naming him. That would violate the public/private partnership between "The Only Ones" and those lap...uh...watchdog "authorized journalists."

This Day in History: October 27

On this day in 1775, King George III speaks before both houses of the British Parliament to discuss growing concern about the rebellion in America, which he viewed as a traitorous action against himself and Great Britain. He began his speech by reading a "Proclamation of Rebellion" and urged Parliament to move quickly to end the revolt and bring order to the colonies.
