We're the Only Ones Oxymoronic Enough

The Rockport Police Department’s domestic violence officer has been charged with firing a weapon during a dispute with his wife.

You cannot make this stuff up. Only "The Only Ones" can.

We're the Only Ones Shocking Enough

A police officer was accidentally shocked by another officer's stun gun while they were trying to subdue a teenager suspected of being drunk, according to a police report.

Another electrifying moment for "The Only Ones."

A Fairfax Republican

A northern Virginia senator is taking aim at gun shows with legislation to require private sellers to run criminal background checks on their customers.

Sen. Jeanne-marie Devolites Davis, R-Fairfax, said Monday that the so-called gun show loophole makes it all too easy for criminals to get firearms.

Fairfax? That's some lobbying success.

Until the Republicans are shown that creatures like this will be repelled at the polls, they will continue to betray their duty to the Constitution.

I also like the quote from the little girl, which is an accurate measure of the mindset of so-called "adults" who bleat to be disarmed.

I don't suppose with all this renewed interest in background checks that our Fairfax gun lobby will show any interest in an alternative?
