New Year's Gun Rights Resolution: Know Your Representatives

Here's my second offering in Examiner.com's New Year's resolution special project... [More]

Thus today's second Gun Rights Examiner column...

Just Like England

"Then he grabs my left hand and takes it around my back while Santa and the kids and everyone looked on," Rensberger said. "I'm scared to death he is going to dislocate my shoulder. I'm begging him not to do that and he responded, 'If it dislocates, I'll call the paramedics.' [More]

Just like England.

Which is just like us.

Stop the merry-go-round, I want to get off.

I'd feel sorrier for Renbsberger if he wasn't a "subcontractor for the IRS."

Maybe he should have done a personal cost/benefit analysis...

The VPC-English Dictionary

"The NRA has a stranglehold on a lot of state legislatures," said Kristin Rand, legislative director the Violence Policy Center, a gun control group in Washington. [More]

Translation: All we are, when you get right down to it, are a bunch of seething Astroturf noisemakers.

Next try this phrase:

"They basically have convinced lawmakers they can cost them their seats, even though there's no real evidence to back that up."

No?

Translation: Nancy is a political whore.

Well waddya know? We've found some of that "common ground" the more worm-tongued antis like to talk about...

Kirsten, it must so suck to be you.

We're the Only Ones Reasonably Explained Enough

“There is no reasonable justification for the failure of the Lorain Police Department to conduct an appropriate investigation in 1993,” Zaleski ruled. [More]

Of course there is, judge.

Of course there is.

Authorized Journalism 101: Gun Coverage

We talked about Schumer's latest treason here.

This video is ABC's advocacy piece for that, masked, of course, as straight news. You'll note the possibility there might be other opinions--or even information like the govt was getting ready to deploy Nidal Hasan to a war zone--is not entertained.

There's a prime directive of Authorized Journalism 101 in there somewhere.

Here's another:

Remember, when you read the line "Hasan had a laser sight on his pistol to increase accuracy," to put a disgusted look on your face.

And funny--with all their resources, you'd think somebody would be able to come up with answers to my questions. That is, if they wanted to.

We're the Only Ones "I'll Save You, Nell!" Enough

Const. Dudas left his truck, grabbed one of the young women and punched her in the face...

[A] female passerby witnessed a constable openly masturbating in his unmarked police vehicle...[More]

Etc.

And naturally, the punishment fits the crime.

I guess they call them "Mounties" because if they decide to mount you, you're supposed to take it and like it. You see, of course, why the Canadian government considers such as these the "Only Ones," so that even the possession of EBLs will result in a SWAT response with air support...

Debate Continues on 'Outing' Gun Owners and Firearms Freedom Acts

An Indiana newspaper is posting information on concealed carry permit holders on its website. The "Firearms Freedom Acts" are manifestations of a growing movement declaring "that any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states."

We've been following both these stories here, noting resulting debates. Here's the latest. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes continuing controversies on stories we've talked about before.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: December 12

In answer to your favour of to day, I cannot think Princeton, under the present situation of affairs, by any means a proper place for the sick. Should they remain there they would be liable to be taken. [More]
