Parker Poll at SayUncle's

Go take it.

Oh, Jeez, Now What...?

Canada's homicide rate and number of gang-related murders has increased since the federal government's firearms registry and licensing program was
implemented...

Well, that didn't work. Maybe what you people need is a "buyback" or an ad campaign...

[Via 1894C]

"I Think that Guns are the Worst Thing in the World"

Yeah, a "buyback" to vandalize antiques. That'll sure "stop the violence." I mean, it's not like these people don't know who the enabled troublemakers in their neighborhoods (and families) are.

And what story would be complete without the timeless "If you save one life, it's worth it"?

Is it really so wrong to fantasize about an ND while these boobs are prying at trigger assemblies with crowbars?

You're in Good Hands with Bloomberg

A new ad campaign announced yesterday will paper the city with stark black-and-white warnings that packing an illegal weapon carries a big risk.

Yeah, hit 'em with snappy captions brainstormed in committee by urban liberals. I'm sure the gangbangers are shaking in their sneaks.

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Glock

Locked in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, Patrick Hawkins still managed to get a gun in the Mississippi State Penitentiary's super-maximum security Unit 32.

Officials said they don't know how Hawkins, jailed for armed robbery and aggravated assault from Holmes County, got the weapon

Oh, gee, I wonder.

More proof that gun bans work...

We're the Only Ones Getting a Break Enough

A Clinton Township police officer who was arrested in April by authorities who feared he posed a threat to students at a private school pleaded guilty Tuesday to a weapons charge and was allowed to enter a pretrial intervention program...

Peltack has been barred form working in law enforcement under terms of a plea deal he previously accepted in Hunterdon County for covering up a hit-and-run accident he was involved in.


Two plea deals in a row for this guy? Must be nice to be an "Only One."

Red's Recap

They began to go through our books, searching intently for some errors. One of our supporters came in and began taking some photos of them.

I hope Ryan Horsley posts those pictures.

This brings to mind the germ of an idea: Red's Minute Men (or use the name of any other gun store): a list of supporter/volunteers who are willing to be placed on a call list--when BATFU shows up, as many as can get away muster to the shop to audit the auditors, take pictures, ask questions...and maybe even follow them around to restaurants and back to their hotel with protest signs...

This Day in History: July 18

It cannot be supposed that the small number of Continental Troops at present assembled at Fort Edward are alone sufficient to check the progress of the Enemy, to the Militia therefore we must, look for support in this time of Trial...

The day may come again.
