A Good Petition

ONLINE PETITION - REPEAL AB962 AND SUPPORT AB373 [More]

I don't disagree with the premise or the proposal.

I just find it curious that the petition site is maintained by Mike Haas, the guy who attacked this on these grounds:

Earlier this century, not long after Bush was first elected and Ashcroft had barely taken office, these nits tried to fundraise with a "national online petition" attacking Ashcroft! See:
http://web.archive.org/web/200204081....com/petition/
(I bet they think this stuff is long gone)
They tried to blowup a non-existant issue and truly pathetic petition "numbers" into sounding significant, pretending that such non-official efforts (not registered with any Secretary of State anywhere) are influential, while collecting personal-contact-information. (It's illegal to keep the personal info one gathers with a real, official, registered petition.)

So, Mike: Got yourself a "real, official, registered petition" there?

Is it "registered with [the] Secretary of State" so that yours is "influential"?

Why the "required fields" for email, name and address, or the optional pdf letter? "Collecting personal contact information," are we?

And why the big self-serving ad on the page linking to your Ammo Guide website, where you charge people "just $18.95/year," especially when you lied about us using our petition to "fundraise"?

As for "truly pathetic petition 'numbers'," you will, of course, keep us posted on your efforts?

Not Evil Just Wrong?

That's just wrong. [Watch]

Sure, the environmentalcase followers are geese, but the true powers behind this are evil.

Disregard Sun Tzu at your peril.

We're the Only Ones Delaying Enough

Two employees at Chicago’s 911 emergency center have been slapped with lengthy suspensions without pay for their roles in an Aug. 28 dispatch delay that left an off-duty police officer to fend for himself while being shot at by a car filled with alleged gang members. [More]

On second thought, I've inappropriately categorized this.

Had they been true "Only Ones," that "without pay" crap wouldn't fly.

We're the Only Ones Safeguarding Your Personal Information Enough

A former contractor for the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police has been charged with rummaging through state computers to retrieve confidential information about "Joe the Plumber." [More]

Well, hey, they say it's an Information-Sharing Network.

Remember, "Only Ones" does not apply exclusively to errant LEOs. Elitist bureaucrats who abuse their special powers and privileges--like Helen Jones-Kelly-- also qualify.

Gun Rights Protest

Featuring VCDL... [More]

Gee, Republicans want gun owner support, but don't actually want them to have guns?

Where have we seen that before?

A Different Risk

More than a decade after Congress cut funding for firearms research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), another federal health agency has been spending millions of dollars to study such topics as whether teenagers who carry firearms run a different risk of getting shot compared with suffering other sorts of injuries. [More]

Gee, and the previous funding cut-off was not a well-justified political response to this?

And Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Director of the CDC's National Center for Injury Control and Prevention (NCIPC) in 1994 told The Washington Post: "We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned."

So once we repel the vampire, we should invite him back in?

We know what's going to happen--they're going to lump criminal gangbangers in with the good kids and make it seem like a toxic environment for all. The corrupt and miserable results of neoMarxist policies will not only escape analysis, the solution we'll see proposed will be to expand them. And, of course, disarm you and me.

I'll let Vanderboegh tell you about them. [More]

LA Times Gun Show Editorial Defies Reality as It Urges More Restrictions

Oh, but "None of these measures would restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens," they say, bearing in mind that Times editorial mantra has historically been that citizens have no individual 2nd Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms. Yep, everyone will have total freedom of movement within the confines of their straitjacket. And besides, only "the lunatic fringe that believes the ATF to be a Gestapo-like arm of a repressive government would loudly object." [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column recognizes shows how the modern Gestapo can always count on their allies in the propaganda ministry.

Also learn of a conflict in Oregon and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

After which, it shall be deemed scandalous, for any officer to associate with him. [More]
