If that's the case (and we all know it is), then why shouldn't we also be having a discussion about trained adults legally carrying concealed firearms for their own protection and the protection of others? Texas Governor Rick Perry's willing to have that discussion. Why isn't the nation's attorney general?
The same question might be asked of you, Mr. LaPierre--why has NRA avoided DEMANDING full recognition of the Second Amendment on our nation's campuses, and, in fact, adopted the Brady position? And are you limiting the "discussion" to universities, or are you now also considering changing your inexcusable position on banning guns at primary education facilities?

Plus, it looks like he and his brother were harassed and detained again.
Chief of Police called just as I was getting ready to leave the attorney's office. He indicated that the video tapes were ready to pick up, but that they wouldn't have any audio. I asked why the tapes had no audio and he said that the officers had wireless microphones transmitting on the same frequency which canceled each other out.

We're the Only Ones Innocent Enough
"He's pleading not guilty because he is not guilty," Peter Hickey said after the hearing. "And we expect at the end, the conclusion of the trial, that that's what the outcome will be."Hickey may be right. A little bribing and threatening can go a long way in Chicago, especially by "The Only Ones"--and all you need to turn is one juror.

Somos Los Unicos
The Santa Fe Police Department is considering the possibility of recruiting Mexican nationals to fill vacant police jobs.Yep, can you see someone who isn't even a citizen arresting a patriot on American soil for keeping and bearing arms?
Hell, why not just cut to the chase and outsource our policing to the Blue Helmets? I'm sure they could do it a lot cheaper, and that's what everybody in power says it's all about...

BATFU Introduces Bubble-Head Protective Gear
Good grief. Leave it to BATFU to show up for a raid with such style.
That isn't Ms. Gailey, is it?

WARNING!
There are reports of "outrage" over some scumbag kid who created a Virginia Tech video game. You can go ahead and read the story I linked to, but I just want to let everyone know that while finding the actual site where the game is is not all that hard, my protection sw shows a problem:
A white checkmark in a green circle is "safe." A white "X" in a red circle is a warning.
What, you expected disgusting creatures who think something like this is funny to be clean?

"Let's Get the Record Straight"
On Gun Control
Mitt Romney supports the strict enforcement of gun laws. He is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms.
Compare that to his "position" today:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney conceded he had signed legislation banning assault weapons but said, “Let's get the record straight.” He said he is a supporter of the rights of gun owners under the Second Amendment.Frequent WarOnGuns contributor 1894C says "I'm raising the BS flag on that one!"
As well he should.
