We're the Only Ones Kicking Up a Stink Enough

But frankly, I’m nostalgic for the days when the pursued feared the judicial system if for nothing but the inevitable ass-kicking and street justice. [More]

Not the "guilty," the "pursued."

Not "justice," but "street justice."

Nothing like a good kick to the head for that.

Dean Scoville, you represent everything about the "Only Ones" that makes a response in kind inevitable.

In lieu of that, for today anyway, perhaps we can kick up a stink of our own:

UPDATE: Just to make sure the Sheriff's Dept. doesn't drop the ball, I thought I'd make it the County Board of Supervisors' problem, too.

The Dirty Dozen

Statement Of Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke On Louisiana's Rejection Of Loaded, Concealed Handguns On College Campuses...

Nevertheless, over a dozen NRA A-rated members voted against this bill. [More]

Do the Brady's have a point? And if so, why does it not surprise me?

Here's the vote.

I figure it's up to Louisiana gun activists to do a comprehensive match up for all the reps to find out who the dozen were, but I did a credibility test for 2008. Here are the NRA ratings and endorsement:


Yep, A-rated Nancy Landry and A-rated and endorsed Major Thibeau put out for the "other side".

Even after the Major One told us:

I am a strong advocate of the Second Amendment and a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.

Sure you are, kid. Unless they are adults going to college.

So why haven't you explained yourself?


While I might be inclined to believe him if he told me life was like a box of chocolates, I see no reason why Forrest Lump here should ever again have any credibility on the gun issue.

Some make great hay out of wooing democrats, and greater hay about how many of their political paramours won. Funny how quiet they get when their faithless new friends are caught rolling in the hay and sleeping with the enemy...

Betrayed Again

The executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, Chris Cox, in a statement called the veto “a shock and a major disappointment to gun owners and supporters of the Second Amendment because Governor Bredesen had committed to supporting this legislation.”[More]

Yes, we're shocked, shocked...

He told us he loved us.

Just like so many others before...

At some point, one begins to lose sympathy for the cuckolded party...and begins to question why we should ever give credence to any of their recommendations for who would be a trustworthy partner.

Sweet Heim Alabama

Here's some more information on open carry problems, this time in Alabama, that's been brought to my attention. I have not had time to do any investigation, but present it here so that others can.

From WarOnGuns Correspondent "Rick":

Here are a few documents relating to the legality....

Here is a story that seems typical of "Only Ones" behavior towards a peaceful armed citizen....

Here is another on the same forum....

It's like I pointed out back when I was writing about unlawful official responses in Ohio, it is the responsibility of the state to ensure that its LEOs are trained. That the state is aware citizens are being endangered and does not proactively and publicly correct the situation amounts to deliberate indifference.

So Much for Cooperation

He cooperated fully with the police. He showed them his Georgia firearms license and his driver's license and submitted to being disarmed. The result? The police officers arrested Mr. Woodard, charged him with carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct, and seized both Mr. Woodard's firearm that his was carrying, and, inexplicably, a firearm that was in a case inside his car. [More]

That kind of takes throws the incentive for cooperating right out the window, doesn't it?

The Conscience of the King

"I'm nervous, excited, honored," said Andre Holland, who plays character Jeremy Furlow, before the show. "It's like in Shakespearean times, when the king would come to the show."

"The king."

Good grief. Gushing simpleton.

And what could be more appropriate leadership in today's engineered economic collapse than this?

The White House declined to say how much the trip was costing taxpayers.

Well, since we're invoking Shakespeare:

[T]he play's the thing
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king.

I think we just caught it.

And how.

We're the Only Ones "A-Hunting We will Go" Enough

Two state troopers from the Cheboygan post have lost their jobs for poaching deer while on duty. [More]

Not just hunting, but poaching.

So what's the rationale for making national parks gun free zones except for "Only Ones" again...?

"I am Not a Judgmental Person"

No kidding. [More]

We're the Only Ones with Curb Appeal Enough

Police blame a local developer for installing "no parking" signs around a popular city restaurant that resulted in 233 tickets being written in a two-year span. [More]

What a mess this will be to unravel.

For some reason this reminds me of the time my wife's car was stolen several years back. The "Only Ones" found it a few weeks later parked on a street less than a mile away. It had several parking tickets on it that had been written at intervals throughout the period and were like pulling teeth to remove from the record. No one could answer why a license plate check on the first ticket didn't solve the case.

Gone with a Whimper

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish. [More]

Truth from Pravda? It's like I told Kurt Hofmann in an email the other day, "It's like somewhere in my life someone switched planets on me when I wasn't looking."

This one is quickly making the rounds thanks to Drudge, and a lot of you have sent it to me. I raise a flag of caution.

While I agree with the sentiment expressed, I think it needs to be filtered through healthy skepticism about the messenger and his motives. And we must never forget that not all of us fall under this indictment.

Gun Control Hasn't Stopped Chicago Shooting Deaths

"Weis says that while L.A.'s gang population is estimated to be somewhere between 55,000 and 70,000, he estimates there are at least 100,000 gang members in Chicago."

That's essentially an army of occupation, Mr. Superintendent.

Marches and photo-ops aren't going to fix that. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at what hasn't, won't and can't work in Chi-Town, including, of course, citizen disarmament.

Also see a Real ID alert from Nevada, find an Appleseed shoot near you, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: June 1

I do not agree with you in Sentiment respecting the Quantity of Provision you mention, as necessary to be lodged at Fort Montgomery. I think such a supply would be highly improper. Provision should be lodged in the Country above, and contiguous to the Fort, from whence it can be easily and occasionally drawn; but if it is deposited there, and that by any means should fall into the Enemy's hand's, the misfortune would be aggravated in the loss of it.
