Shameless Plug: May I Be Frank?

Unauthorized carrying of firearms aboard commercial airliners is a federal felony. Would you or I be “asked”? And still unresolved is the issue of Melton traveling with two armed bodyguards, and why TSA could produce no evidence of their being trained and certified to carry weapons on planes.

"May I Be Frank?" is my Rights Watch column for the April 2007 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at earnest newsstands throughout the Republic.

BONUS: See page 98 to find out how you can win a S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum with a 61/2" barrel, target trigger and hammer, full nickel plate, Cocobolo checkered wood grips, and mahogany presentation case with cleaning rod and sight adjustment screwdriver ($1,195 value).

Finger Bang

A TEENAGER who made a gun gesture behind the back of Conservative leader David Cameron is appearing in court today charged with possession of cannabis.

The 17-year-old youth was arrested after police searched a house in Wythenshawe on Saturday morning.

Yeah, that sounds like probable cause to get a warrant--I'm sure they'd have done the same if the "victim" had been an ordinary subject.

Right, Mr. Cameron?

When There's No Second Amendment...

...government doesn't need to concern itself with the First.

If this passes, it'll be time to stand on the steps of City Hall and read passages from "Huckleberry Finn."

This Stalinist crap in the name of political correctness will have crossed a major line in the sand.

"My Idea Didn't Work"

If that last word still means anything, however, then we are all, in fact, culpable. Who turned Thomas Hamilton into a beast? God isn't talking. That leaves the rest of us. I cling, nevertheless, to one near-instinctive conclusion from 11 years ago. Guns breed guns. When they enter a society they multiply like a pestilence.

Let's concede that all the bans have failed. That doesn't mean we should also fail to ask a practical question. Britain has become a security state in recent years. Nobody strolls unmolested through customs these days. There are terrorist suspects, so they say, at every turn. So why, precisely, are handguns still getting into this country?

45superman brought this to my attention the other day, asking if I could figure out this guy's point. Without giving it the time-consuming fisking it deserves to show what utter tripe it is, here's the nutshell version:

I think what he’s saying is that he’s an idiot who doesn’t have the first idea what he’s talking about, but he still hasn’t grokked his culpability for contributing to the deaths of people who might otherwise have been able to defend themselves. And even though he admits he’s wrong, he doesn’t seem inclined to reverse course—and hints that maybe if we applied what doesn’t work locally to include EVERYBODY…

Typical fascist “intellectual” POS with blood on his soul but too fanatical to admit it- may he rot in hell.

We're the Phony Only Ones...

A troubled ex-NYPD cop, who stocked an arsenal of weapons in his suburban home, was charged with impersonating an officer after he used a phony badge to pull over a Long Island driver who cut him off, police and the suspect's lawyer said yesterday.

And with NYPD enforcing citizen disarmament, we can't even lift a finger against him...

I may need to start a new category for cop impersonators: The Fauxnly Ones.
