2A Contest

In 100 words or less (you won't be penalized for writing more, but I may get bored quicker) tell us your opinions about the Second Amendment. [More]
That shirt they designed is cool, too.

Go ahead, enter. If nothing else, thinking things through and articulating them is good for us.

He's lucky he wasn't in the wrong place.

You know, a "gun-free school zone."

I don't think Wayne is ready to give those up yet, is he?

We're the Only Ones Not Holier Than Thou Enough

Ledger initially lied to investigators about the dog’s death but later told deputies he shot the animal, according to records filed in the case.

“He’s a good and decent man,” attorney Rob Swanton said about his client, Ledger, after the sentencing. Some have portrayed Ledger as a villain, Swanton said, “but that is the opinion of some self-righteous and holier-than-thou people.” [More]

Like a good neighbor, "Only Ones" are there.

Sounds like both the federal poochmurderer and his obnoxious mouthpiece ought to shut up and thank their lucky stars they're not the holiest ones in the story...

Another Open Carry Day

An assistant manager was in the store, and he came out right away to speak to us. He said he had called the police, but after they had determined no shots were being fired and we were causing no problems, he was told that open carry was legal in SD and, I guess, the conversation ended there. No police were dispatched. [More]
Mama Liberty provides anecdotal evidence that the biggest problem we have with government is ignorant citizens.

Good on the cops for not acting like "Only Ones."

We're the Fauxnly Ones Invasive Enough

A Wilson man and woman were shot by a man who invaded their home posing as a sheriff's deputy. [More]
I'm tellin' ya, keep track of stories like these. You just may need to defend yourself some day and corroboration that your fears weren't unfounded can't hurt.

Not that real Wisconsin "Only Ones" can't also be a cause for concern...

We're the Only Ones Unreachable Enough

Calling the cops? Good luck getting through.

A Daily News survey found it's nearly impossible to reach anyone at the front desks of many precinct stationhouses across the city.

The lines are busy. The phones ring off the hook. Or, even worse, cops pick up the phone - and slam it back down. [More]
Yep, the "Only Ones" will save you!

Just another day in Bloomberg Paradise.

And of course, the idiot "Authorized Journalists" at The Daily News will continue on their trademark citizen disarmament crusade.

A Renaissance of Sorts

Coming soon to a continent near you. [More]

It's what the left does.

What I want to know is why people who don't want power over anyone but themselves are always lumped in with violent fascists...
