Calling All Commentators

The cud-chewers are showing up on Dave Workman's Seattle Gun Rights Examiner site.

If anyone has the time and inclination to engage and correct, now would be a good time.

Go here.

What's Eating Mike Vanderboegh?

Let's hope if it tries, it bites off more than it can chew. [More]

When I get some time, I'm going to have to make him up a Sipsey Street Eat-Me-Gram along the lines of this.

We're the Only Ones Turning Traffic Disputes into Dodge City Enough

Deputy charged in incident

Honk apparently led to gun drawn [More]
See, the antis warned us stuff like this would happen, which is why you and I can't be trusted.

Honk if you love "Only Ones"!

We're the Only Ones with a Fire in Our Bellies Enough

A Pasadena police officer was hospitalized after he accidentally shot himself in the stomach... [More]
In case the thought of guys like this being the "Only Ones" trusted with guns is more than you can stomach...

[Via Harvey]

We're the Only Ones Drawing a Blank Enough

Officer Ray Dilworth was hit in the head with a simunition bullet at a training facility off Columbia Avenue.

We're the Only Ones Social Networking Enough

Murphy told state troopers that Lieutenant Sherman punched him in the face, pounded him on the back, and ripped his shirt.

He was shouting at him for sending messages to his wife on Facebook and MySpace, Murphy told investigators. [More]
I probably should know more before assuming this is an "Only Ones" story. I know it can be a slippery slope, and I know there are other ways to deal with things, but there are times and situations where I believe a man ought to be able to punch another guy out for inappropriate behavior directed at himself or a loved one. I wouldn't want to deny that consideration to Lt. Sherman just because of his job.

By the same token, I wouldn't want Lt. Sherman arresting me for doing the same.

Extra Steps to Ensure Their Safety

The City Council authorized police this week to arrest students who bring to school objects that could be used as weapons, officials said. [More]

AP: U.S. Border Authorities Aid Mexican Criminals

It's no secret that Mexico is an astonishingly corrupt place, with many of the players coming from the ranks of its government. In a new report, the Associated Press tells us the problem is not confined to their side of the border... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner points out the futility of tackling Mexico's violence by disarming you and me.

I know, duh. But if the rest of the country understood that, I wouldn't be working at any of this or bugging readers here every day for help spreading the word.

Also meet the new Grand Rapids GRE.

Tell a friend?

Have you read the latest from all the Gun Rights Examiners?

This Day in History: August 13

In this letter George Washington describes to us the importance of the Battle of Oriskany to achieving the goal of defeating General Burgoyne. He basically says this: Oriskany is the first victory, and if everything else goes our way then we will defeat the British invasion. [More]
