What's Brown and Stinks?

The chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party is asking local officials to take action to keep guns out of parks and restaurants. [More]

All guns, or just the ones owned by people who obey citizen disarmament edicts?

Maybe Jeff Brown could clarify if he's seriously this full of peristaltic extrusions or if he knows damn well what the score is and just wants to get his name in the paper?

Why not email info@hamdems.org and ask.

Just be sure to wash your hands after any contact. And leave the fan on.

Coyote Ugly

A Haverhill woman says she had a harrowing brush with the wild, when she was surrounded by coyotes while walking her dogs in a wooded area. [More]

That's what happens when we forget our place in the food chain.

Hey, at least they weren't turkeys...

If You're Into Muzzleloaders...

...and you buy them from this guy, you're giving business to someone who publicly advocates ending private sales under force of government arms.

I thought of naming him and his business, and even linking to his blog, but reconsidered. Nobody I know has ever heard of him, and it looks like he's intentionally trying to stir up controversy and get it to spread.

I see no reason to give him free publicity so the AHSA-holes can patronize him.

The Appleseed Militia

Court documents said anti-terrorism agents keep an eye on the gun range because the informant says it's known as a militia training center.

But Faire claims the word "militia" is just a part of an inside joke. He says his group is a local chapter of Project Appleseed, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching marksmanship and preserving gun rights. [More]

Yeah, those are some dangerous hombres there.

Just more bigotry against gun owners, gun ranges, and that thing the Founders deemed as being necessary to the security of a free state.

I guess if you don't intend to allow a free state, all that becomes unnecessary.

The controlling bastards wanted to shut the range down so they decided to smear them as rightwing extremists. And note the convenient "undercover informant." There was one of those tied up with von Brunn, too:

Todd Blodgett, a former White House aide who worked as an informant within white supremacist groups...

Hmmm...

Anyway, I guess society will be safer if gun owners don't practice. And also if we don't have any gun owners.

They're just going to keep coming after us, aren't they?

Anybody know anything about this "Andrew Gray"?

Where There's Smoke, There's Government

The US Senate has backed a bill giving the government far-reaching new powers to try to curb smoking among Americans...

President Barack Obama hailed the passage of the bill [More]

No doubt just what the Founders intended as a delegated federal power.

And kapo Phillip Morris certainly sounds a lot like Bill Ruger, no?

But hey, don't worry, everyone.

Barry will still be able to afford his.

I'm no defender of cigarettes. I smoked them for many years. I quit 19 years ago when my wife told me we were expecting our first child--figured I owed the kid a father.

That said, everyone by now in this country knows there are risks, right? And the supposed benefits of "regulation" need to be weighed against the very real costs of government giving itself more power over our lives and choices.

And full disclosure, I'm having a cigar tonight after dinner.

How Homeland Security Says We Should Respond to Active Shooters

Yes, the DHS "flip book" titled "Active Shooter-How to Respond" certainly looks authoritative, although I don't quite get what the shuffling silhouette zombies on the front are supposed to represent. Why don't we flip through it and see? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column questions whether a government brochure explores all options.

This Day in History: June 12

On June 12, 1777, Maj. General Arthur St. Clair assumed command of the 2,546 Continental troops at Ticonderoga as Gates departed. [More]
