"We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us"*

"I would like to thank the local residents who had the foresight to bring this collection to our attention, and the owner for his full co-operation."

The total subjugation of UK liberty is damn near complete, as the sheep themselves have been conditioned to demand stronger pens. And we're not that far behind as evidenced by the evil neighbor on our side of the pond who turned in the little girl making sidewalk chalk drawings.

Yeah, I know we're all sinners, but it really does seem like their ought to be a special room in hell for these traitors to humanity.

Paul Harris, "Authorized Journalist"

A gun in a US home is 22 times more likely to be used in an accidental shooting, a murder or a suicide than in self-defence against an attack.

Nice manipulation, Paul Harris. This is a total misrepresentation of conclusions by anti-gun researcher Arthur L. Kellermann. Here's what his findings actually stated:

For every case of self-protection homicide involving a firearm kept in the home, there were 1.3 accidental deaths, 4.6 criminal homicides, and 37 suicides involving firearms.

There's a vast gulf of possibile outcomes between a DGU, which does not require a shot even being fired, and a "self-protection homicide," but the agenda-driven Paul Harris won't let his readers know that.

Tell me, Paul--when you set out to become an "authorized journalist," did you have your heart set on specializing in propaganda?

We're the Only Ones (Hic) Violating Gun Bans Enough

A policeman was detained at the police precinct in barangay Parian, Cebu City for being drunk and for violating the Commission on Elections (Comelec) gun ban in barangay Kamagayan on Thursday morning.

That's why only "The Super Exclusive Only Ones" are "automatically exempted from the ban."

Gun, Drugs Found Stashed at Katy School

Maybe they should put up signs...

Supply and Demand

The monster, sitting in a cage in back of his gun store and shooting range in Lawrenceville, can cut down a tree — and could easily fetch $30,000 in a perfectly legal sale. But for Powell, the sale would be the equivalent of hawking a Picasso or vintage wine.

The gun increases in value exponentially each year.

That is because it is the law — not the manufacturing costs — that drive the price. The federal government has outlawed the manufacture of machine guns for the civilian market in the United States since 1986. Only machine guns that were legally owned by civilians before that year can be sold privately.

Unless, of course, you're an "Only One."

If this isn't a blatant conspiracy to deny Americans their right to own militia-suitable firearms, I don't know what is.

And we talk about pitching gun owner against gun owner--why would these privileged elites--the very ones with the resources to finance Second Amendment challenges without batting an eye--want to let us hoi polloi into their exclusive club--and watch their investments devalue?

How this evident discriminatory result isn't an equal protection violation is also something I don't understand.

UPDATE: Brutus reminds me not to over-generalize and I agree there are exceptions. I'm not confident in how widespread they are, though.

The Second Amendment Works

Chris Horton shows us how.
