SWITZERLAND, SAFE FROM WAR THROUGH 600 YEARS, PRESERVES PEACE BY TRAINING ITS CIVILIANS TO SHOOT THE WEAPONS THEY WOULD USE IN WAR
Police in Dillon, a small town near the North Carolina border, say a 13-year-old with an interest in law enforcement twice stole a police cruiser and took it out to do some patrolling.He wants to be an "Only One" and he's already learned how to ignore the rules and do what he wants.
The same day the Supreme Court said the Second Amendment is an individual right, Utah’s governor said he’d like to see fewer individuals exercise that right.
Specifically, he said he wants to limit the access of out-of-staters to Utah’s pistol permit.
His legal rationale: It doesn’t “sit right" with him.
VCDL has been following this pretty closely. Here are some links about the incident if you are interested.

Senior Norfolk Judge Henry Coke Morgan held in a local federal case the day after Heller was decided that the individual right created by the Second Amendment does not impose any obligations whatsoever on state or local governments: only the federal government. The decision came in the controversial case of Chet Szymecki v. City of Norfolk where the citizen was detained, handcuffed and roughed up by Norfolk The count made under the Second Amendment for injunctive relief and for compensation was dismissed. The other constitutional claims made by Szymecki, for an unreasonable seizure and for the use of excessive force by police, survived dismissal, at least for now.
Our sins are those of omission.I do have something to add to one thing you presented, Mike:
Keeku's are sins of commission.
Which is worse is for God and history to judge.
Ultimately, the then-sitting Boundary County Prosecutor, Brett Benson, who had defeated Woodbury in the 2000 election, decided to drop the charges because he felt it was unlikely the state could prove the case and too much time had passed.That ain't the whole story.
Jason Barber, 32, was charged with the sale of a handgun to a convicted felon and official misconduct.There are "Only Ones" and then there are Special Indianapolis "Only Ones."
Investigators said Barber sold the gun to a felon in March who was wearing a recording device and paid him in marked bills.
The New York City Police Department can't keep track of the guns it seizes, according to a report issued yesterday.Maybe Bloomberg ought to sue 'em...
Manhattan officials failed to account for or find 94 of the 324 firearms specified, adding that other boroughs' property divisions were found in a "similar state of disarray."Well, they probably filled out the "Yes" and "No" spaces on the form correctly, so it wasn't "willful" and thus no big deal. Besides which, they're "Only Ones"...
A man was charged with battery after he hit his mother in the head with a three-pound package of Polish sausage, police said.
What on Earth can the government be thinking about, allowing these large, dangerous sausages to be sold to any member of the public? Isn't it time for sausage control, allowing no sausages to be sold that are larger than standard American hot dogs? After all, no real American really needs a sausage larger than the all-American hot dog.
This tragic Florida case just proves that larger sausages will cause people to turn violent. Large sausages should be restricted to responsible government employees only, such as the BATFEEEEE annual "good old boys" rally in the South, and perhaps for feeding company-sized units of Marines.
Further, the less dangerous American hot dogs should be restricted to packages of no more than three. If anyone really needs more than three hot dogs, they can buy more packages, but perhaps not on one day.
Wherever good people concerned about mother mayhem gather, let them raise their voices against the evils of inordinately large and dangerous Polish sausages, infiltrating America from the once-Communist Poland, and crowding out the more benign and traditional American hot dog.
Sunday’s Los Angeles Times brought us as glorious an example of ivory-tower impracticality as ever put forth, this one by a pair of university professors who, if one may judge from their curricula vitae, are well steeped in academic theory but lacking sufficient practical experience to realize what they propose is manifestly absurd.We talked about this here.
An Indianapolis police officer and his wife were accused Wednesday of running a prostitution ring out of their Greenwood home, and a former top criminal justice agency official was arrested and charged with patronizing a prostitute.While their fellow "Only Ones" devoted resources to eliminating the competition, no doubt.
So why am I concerned about the history of the "V" sign? It's just this. As gunnies, as members of the armed citizenry of the Republic of the united States, we too need a symbol. Something as short, sweet and powerful as the "V".
A Wisconsin man today surrendered to federal authorities to begin serving a 30-month prison term for having a broken rifle, prompting the Gun Owners of America to issue a warning about the owner's liability should any semi-automatic weapon ever misfire.WorldNetDaily has the story. They also quote my GUNS Magazine article.
July 3, 1775 - At Cambridge, Massachusetts, George Washington takes command of the Continental Army which now has about 17,000 men.
