New WarOnGuns Poll: Does Congressional Action Jeopardize Parker?

The principle lawyer behind the Parker lawsuit contends that recent actions in Congress to overturn Washington DC's gun ban endanger their case, and further speculates that this is a desired outcome for some in the gun rights movement. This week's poll, in the left margin, asks what you think.

Here are the results of last week's poll (click on picture to enlarge):

We're the Only Ones Searching Everyone Enough

Then the cops came. They ordered everyone off the steps and onto the ground. They shouted and pointed guns. They handcuffed some people and searched everyone. A 24-year-old mother had to leave her 8-month-old daughter on the porch.

Two hours later, the residents knew police had been looking for a gun they never found.

And we'd do it again. Because we're "The Only Ones" who are supposed to have guns.

We're the Only Ones Child-Abandoning Enough

A northeast Baltimore mother said she's angry and frustrated after her 12-year-old child was left alone to sit on a curb while police arrested her father and took him to central booking.

That'll teach him to have his name mistakenly placed on an arrest warrant!

This Day in History: April 8

Let me beseech you to use every possible means to collect your men together, and not suffer some to be in one place, some in another; and let me also entreat you, to charge your Recruiting Officers in explicit, and positive terms to be exceedingly attentive to that duty, as idleness and dissipation will not meet with the smallest countenance. Your other officers are to attend the Regiment closely and not suffer'd under various excuses, to be idling their time away in Philadelphia or elsewhere.
