GAO Gun Trafficking Report Appears Agenda-Driven

[T]he agency tasked with ensuring government accountability to the citizens through their Congressional representatives says the way to do that is by making citizens more accountable to the government. [More]

As promised in today's earlier Gun Rights Examiner column, I've got the GAO report on trafficking of arms to Mexico.

A more agenda-driven piece of propaganda you will not find.

Spread the word on this one--it's important everyone see what's coming at us. This is how the government intends to manipulate things to ram through new edicts that will give them "information on firearms purchases" and end private sales.

We're the Only Ones "Mangled Baby Ducks" Enough

Regina woman bothered after police car mows down ducklings on Ring Road [More]

Yet another example of "Only Ones" engaging in fowl play.

How many remember the Smucker's Jams skit?

"With a name like the 'Only Ones,' we have to be good!"

It's Time to Close the Assault Tissue Loophole

He suffocated from a wadded up facial tissue that was found during the autopsy lodged in the child’s oropharynx. [More]

The truth of the matter is, some degenerates can't even be trusted with Kleenex. How messing with you or me is going to change that is something nobody has an answer for, but it doesn't stop the opportunistic from trying it, and the stupid from going along with them.

The Cougar

Mother fought off cougar to save toddler from attack [More]

Or in the words of Paul Helmke:

Concealed weapons have no place in our national parks, which have always been safe places to enjoy our nation’s magnificent natural and historical treasures...

This woman is living proof that fortune favors the brave, but we must all acknowledge she was very fortunate.

Who'd like to see Paul fight off a cougar, and no, I'm not referring to Sarah Brady...?

[Via Plug Nickel Times, who tells me "Didn't exactly happen in a US Nat'l Park - but those cougars don't read maps anyway..."]

Higher Learning from Princeton

A 77-year-old Princeton woman faced down a man armed with a sawed-off shotgun and sent him running after she pointed her own gun at him, according to court documents. [More]

Creepy story, the way the guy stayed around...it doesn't sound like it would have ended well at all.

And while this Princeton is in Maine, the young men and women of that other Princeton could learn something from this that their university will never teach them.

For starters, every damn one of them is less able to defend themselves than a 77-year-old woman.

"No One Was Hurt"

"Grabs a loaded .40-caliber handgun and chases with the gun, shooting rounds either into the air or into the ground as they were chasing." [More]

Damn lucky no one was hurt.

And further anecdotal proof that a permit holder is no more qualified to carry a gun than I am.

So what's the point?

I, "Low-Level Terrorist"

“Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism?”

— Attacking the Pentagon

— IEDs

— Hate crimes against racial groups

— Protests

The correct answer, according to the exam, is "Protests." [More]

Does this make me a suicide blogger?

We're the Only Ones Revoked Enough

A district court judge has upheld a decision to revoke Ashland Police Officer Ed Pomponio's license to carry a gun. [More]

But fear not:

Pomponio joined the Ashland Police force last year, and is still permitted to carry a gun while on duty there.

Interesting classification of "Only One." If I understand this right, he's not considered trustworthy enough to carry a gun unless he's in a position of authority over you and me, and then he automatically gets his judgment back.

Did I miss something?

We're the Only Ones Well-Grounded Enough

A Suffolk police officer chasing a suspect on foot in Brentwood on Tuesday accidentally fired a bullet at the ground, police said. [More]

Because, you know, he's the "Only One" professional enough...

And no, you may not know his name.

We're the Only Ones "Reunited and it Feels So Good" Enough

"The only thing that stood between Marxist street thugs and public order was a thin blue line of dedicated, tough Chicago police officers.... [More]

So...who are the "Only Ones" standing between the Marxist street thugs and the public now?

Forget it Jake. It's Chi-Town.

I wonder what their commemorative T-shirts will look like...?

Clay and 12th

A man who was fatally shot Thursday night on Clay Street near 12th Avenue North has been identified as a Metro Schools assistant principal. [More]

Clay and 12th?

Y'know, if that turncoat Phil Bredesen hadn't resigned himself to not provoking another veto override, guess who the people stopped by a park gun ban would have been?

Hint--not the guy who shot the principal.

In light of this murder, who thinks using "opt out provisions" to make Buena Vista Park a "gun free zone" is just the ticket for fighting violent crime?

Somebody needs to "opt out" that weasel Bredesen next time he runs for anything.

We're Not the Only Ones Outraged Enough

When a stray bullet from a gang member's gun struck 3-week-old Luis Angel Garcia in the heart and killed him in 2007, police, politicians and ordinary Angelenos expressed outrage over the infant's death.

But they weren't the only ones. [More]

Actually, if you look at who is carrying guns in LA, it really pretty much is limited to "Only Ones" on both sides of "the law": Police and gangbangers.

The only ones who aren't carrying are those inclined to obedience.

And isn't that outrageous?

GAO Report Blames U.S. Gun Laws for Mexican Crime

See, the problem is, criminals laugh at all the laws against illegal purchases and international arms trafficking that we have now--those are for the suckers who obey them. But if we can just enact a few more prohibitions that will affect the "law-abiding," why everything will fall into place!

And we can confidently make these recommendations while admitting that the data we're using to extrapolate a conclusion is nowhere near complete. But once we get those "bureaucratic problems" ironed out, why, we "expect to fix" that any time now. In the mean time, let's pass more 'gun control" edicts! [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at reports about a new report. I hope to have a report on the actual report later today, and will report on that here.

Got it?

Also learn about an arrogant politician in Oregon, get more info on that KABA fundraiser, and read the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?
