Anti-Gun Michael Bloomberg Goes Undercover

"At 2 p.m. today, you can watch our hidden camera videos and learn more about our investigation..." [More]
After this morning's magnificent screw-up, I decided to go back in and post a Gun Rights Examiner column on something that's going to be getting underway in just about three minutes from now...

Check out my second update: Did Bloomberg's team provide evidence that they have broken Nevada law?

And my third: Aren't "straw purchases" illegal...? Even when committed by Team Bloomberg?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

"They immediately started slashing me with a knife and kicking and punching me. I was knifed maybe ten or 11 times with a large blade which looked like it had a very sharp serrated edge.

'I kept thinking they were going to stab me in the eyes but amazingly they missed my eyes by a few centimetres. They said: "If you have any final words, say them now before we kill you".' [More]
Funny, I didn't read where the droogs performed "Singin' in the Rain"...

Best comment to demonstrate the absolute degeneracy of some:
To all the gun totin' americans that seem to think the right to bear arms is the be all and end all of law and order; 1. gun ownership just ups the ante... if you have a gun, you can damn well be sure any criminal will feel compelled to bring a gun along, and 2. private gun ownership certainly doesn't stop violent crime in your country, does it?- NH, Yorks, 1/10/2009 4:57
You keep on believing that, subject. Right up until they grab your gulliver by the ookos, smash out your zoobys and ram your krovvy rot in with a bit of ultra-violence...

Or better yet, while they do that to a loved one and you're absolutely useless doing anything about it, you disgusting invertebrate.

When Orchids are Outlawed...

Oh, wait, I guess if you don't jump through all kinds of federal hoops, they have been. [More]

Hey, at least they weren't "assault orchids."

I wish I could actually be surprised that the "Only Ones" sent out a SWAT team.

What Doesn't Work

People's Church, in fact, had a security plan in place for its 3,000-member congregation that included off-duty officers hired for traffic and protection. But none of it stopped Kevin Kelly from firing five bullets into Patricia Simmons Kelly's chest Feb. 22. [More]
So how come we have to go looking to find out he did it in the parking lot? How does "Authorized Journalist" William Wan propose to stop something like that? He just admitted relying on "Only Ones" doesn't work.

And what the hell does his sob-sister hand-wringing have to do with peaceable people having the means of defense?

Yeah, we need more "No Guns" policies--that'll work.

We're the Only Ones Ly...uh...Who Can't Recall Enough

The number one lie in police work, according to Karen Kruger, Senior Assistant County Attorney in Bel Air, Maryland, is: “I can’t recall.” [More]

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

K-9 sniffer dogs under scrutiny [More]
Video of a former cop who went through hell because of false identification by bloodhounds...

He's suing because his civil rights have been violated.

Hopefully, this will motivate him to become an informed crusader against "Only One" abuses of the civil rights of others he must surely have witnessed during his 25-year career--unless anyone contends this is the first and only time...

i, Genius

While talking with an Apple Store employee, he allegedly said, "I'm so mad, I could pop a 9mm at it," meaning the iPhone.

According to police, he then said, "I'll do it right now! Look!" and pulled his shirt aside to show the employee the handgun he was carrying. [More]
If true, the guys a damned moron and he's lucky somebody didn't pull out their own gun.

But then, the mall has a "no guns" policy, and we all know how effective those are...

John McCormick--Not Just an "Authorized Journalist," but a Suck-Up to the Boss

At least 47 school-age children in Chicago have been killed in homicides, mostly by guns, since the month President Barack Obama took office. [More]
You mean "with," John, right, not "by"?

Funny--no mention how Chicago has imposed near total citizen disarmament, or how that might factor into that “'total failure' in curbing violence."

Hmmm. Bloomberg.com.

Is Master pleased with you, John?

Are you pleased with yourself?

Springfield Mall Story Update

I have removed the story about the Springfield Mall because The Washington Post issued an update claiming the "victim" stabbed himself and has been charged with filing a false police report.

Nevertheless, I stand by the principles of self-defense articulated in that article. [More]

This Day in History: October 7

The Second Battle of Saratoga (Bemis Heights)

On October 7, 1777 Major General Burgoyne and his men staged a full assault on the Patriots at Bemis Heights. The Patriots had let the British wear themselves down with all their minor assaults and were ready for them on October 7th. The Patriot defense was made up of Major General Gates', Major General Arnold's, and Major General Daniel Morgan's troops. They were a strong defense against the British assault. [More]
