Maybe it's Just Me...

...but I find it hard to believe that the developing Wayne Fincher story isn't something that would be of interest to members of major "gun lobby groups," and I'm wondering why they've not informed their members.

I'm also wondering why the same "gun lobby groups" that made such political hay out of George Bush proclaiming the Second Amendment an individual right have not commented on his administration's apparent regression to the "collective rights" position.

Those of us who think these developments are significant are manning the bucket line and the well is going dry. Meanwhile, we can't even get the people who constantly hit gun owners up for money to look out the windows of their mansions and yell "Fire!"

If I were the cynical type I might read intent into the silence.

"Gun Control" and the New Congress

American firearm owners’ rights already at issue during the 110th Congress...Any possibility that gun control and the individual Second Amendment civil right to keep and bear arms would be shelved as legislative and political issues during the 110th Congress came to a crashing end last week as Representatives were sworn in on Capitol Hill.

There has been no shortage of observers soothing us with predictions that citizen disarmament will be on the back burner because "we" elected so many "pro-gun Democrats." I agree with Mr. Snyder. This group of radical subversives hasn't even started rolling up its sleeves yet, but gun owners haven't been forgotten.

And once an animal tastes blood...

We're the Only Ones Brooking No Competition Enough

A New Jersey woman has accused the Clarke County coroner of taking guns from her father's Bogart house after he pronounced the 86-year-old dead of heart failure, a charge that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation may investigate...

"The mere fact that my father's body was still in the garage just under the room that Mr. Tribble was searching leaves me extremely distressed," Sharpe said. "It appears that rifling through my father's belongings took preference over having his body taken care of. This is certainly a most despicable act on the part of Mr. Tribble"...

"If it wasn't an elected official, there's no doubt we'd investigate it as a theft," Holeman said. "There was no reason for (Tribble) to go any farther than the garage, and if anything needed to be taken for safekeeping, it should have been taken by us."

We all got that, right? If it was anyone besides "an elected official," there'd be no doubt of an investigation. But regardless, he overstepped his bounds, because WE'RE "The only Only Ones" who should have taken the guns. Just "for safekeeping" of course.

We're the Only Ones "Oops--Our Bad, and Sorry About That Hole in the Wall " Enough

They were startled from their sleep by heavily armed police officers shouting at them through a loudspeaker to leave their house one by one with hands up.

Police had a warrant to search the Atlantic Avenue house for a black, long-barrelled seven-millimetre handgun, a leather holster and 10 rounds of ammunition. A confidential police source had told investigators the gun was there, but officers later learned the source made a mistake.

Police handcuffed Cerros and put him in one police car. Horyski and her son were put in the back seat of another.

Inside the two-storey house, one officer fired his Glock service pistol into the wall of a bathroom that was under renovation. Police say the officer tripped on a carpet runner and fired accidentally. A single round was shot through seven sheets of drywall leaning against one wall and created a large hole in the bathroom wall.

Another day in the life of "The Only Ones."

Wayne Fincher "Put Government on Notice"

Federal agents said they started investigating the militia after a report and photographs about the group appeared in The Morning News. The report noted the group had automatic weapons. Agents subsequently sent an undercover agent to join the group.

So that's enough to prompt an undercover BATFU plant/full-blown investigation?

Then why isn't this?

And we're to believe that these...guys, who can't even tell what a selective fire-capable gun is when they've captured, examined and fired it, can determine if a firearm is "illegal" from a photograph?
