Suffredin Succotash!

"I am tired of business as usual. I am tired of picking up the paper or turning on the news to see reports about innocent children gunned down in cold blood, because some gang member bought a gun at their local gun shop," Suffredin said. "For nearly thirty years, I have fought for sensible gun laws. Whether it was against the NRA or legislative leaders, I fought to pass laws to keep guns off our streets."

Doing Snuffy's dirty work for him, Larry? And if John R-I-G-G-I-O doesn't shut down Chuck's Gun Shop, are you going to have your "Only Ones" snuff him out?

There can be no peace with these evil creatures--they will not allow it. They insist on pushing and pushing and leaving no choice but to obey or be destroyed. How much longer people who consider themselves free will put up with their undisguised tyranny remains to be seen. In short, Larry, when are people going to get tired of you?

And incidentally--to the Reuters "Authorized Journalist" headline writers--I was going to correct you and say the word is "Reined," but now that I've read the article, I see spelling it with a "g" is more appropriate.

[UPDATE: I see Mikestraw1 and KABA beat me to two punches...]

We're the Only Ones Interrogating Enough

Four city police officers were suspended without pay for allowing a homicide suspect to smuggle a loaded gun into police headquarters by hiding it inside her underwear.
So...gRendell...based on results, Pennsylvania's "Only Ones" can't even keep guns out of their holding cells--and you're pushing the fraud that you can control them throughout the entire state?

The Mass Shooter Loophole

States appear to be taking more action to keep guns out of the hands of people with mental health problems in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, new figures show. [More]
The rejects suspected of being maniacs with murder in their evil hearts will, however, still have full unrestricted access to utility knives, fuel oil and fertilizer, and gasoline and matches, as well as be allowed to move freely throughout society. [Via Plug Nickel Times]

We're the Only Ones Shirking Enough

Male police slept on the job, faked patrol reports, watched an X-rated TV channel and ran a forfeit system where they had to buy each other doughnuts as a penalty for leaving guns lying around, an employment tribunal heard.

Cryptic Subterranean treats us to a sordid tale of airport "Only Ones" on his side of the pond.

More on State AGs

Yesterday, we discussed finding out where our state attorneys general stand on the Heller case, and if they will file an amicus brief on its behalf.

Correspondent GarandFan did some stats legwork for us in his comments.

1894C points us to this essay by Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.

David Hardy tells me Texas Solicitor General R. Ted Cruz "is rounding up AG amici," and reports the Arkansas AG Dustin McDaniel is filing one.


I'm toying with the idea of putting together one of those maps of the US where the states are color coded to show who's on board, who's AWOL and who's against us--here's the preliminary rough draft:


At this point, it only shows those that have actually filed at the SCOTUS level per the above-referenced comments, which I have not double-checked--point being, this is a rough draft only intended to express the concept. Maybe I should also add a symbol for those states that filed a brief at the district level, and another if they signed on to the Ashcroft support letter...

Of course, if somebody with actual graphics skills and the ability to create an interactive map where you could click on states and symbols and link to copies of the briefs, etc., wanted to take this project over, I wouldn't mind stepping out of the way one bit.

Sweet Homegrown Terrorist Alabama

Anti-government groups usually believe:
Gun Control = Enslavement
Constitution has been subverted
The U.S. has lost its sovereignty

And your point would be...?

Garrett has more on "Homegrown Terrorists"...

Nice to know the people of the state of Alabama are paying for this...I tried taking their quiz and when I completed it got a "data retrieval failure" notice--there's government in action for ya.

Maybe what we need to do is come up with one of those quizzes of our own on this--where you get the code for a graphic you can put on your website that shows what level you came in at...

Here's the Humor Paul: You're Making a Prissy Little Fool of Yourself (Again)

In last night’s Republican YouTube debate, a questioner submitted this video of himself shooting what looks like an AK-type semi-automatic assault rifle at a target in the desert. In less than two seconds, self-identified NRA Life Member Jay Fox fires off six rounds. (Check the timing of the video yourself.)

Oooh...six rounds in less than two seconds. Check the timing yourself...

Good grief. You really don't have the first idea what you're talking about, do you?

Here's a clue as to why that's no big deal, Paul.

No wonder you're so afraid--you're ignorant.

No wonder you some off like such an hysterical little girl--instead of a man.

This Day in History: November 30

The Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War between Great Britain and the United States, recognized American independence and established borders for the new nation. After the British defeat at Yorktown, peace talks in Paris began in April 1782 between Richard Oswarld representing Great Britain and the American Peace Commissioners Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams. The American negotiators were joined by Henry Laurens two days before the preliminary articles of peace were signed on November 30, 1782.
