We're the Only Ones Dreamy Enough

She may have been sick. [More]

I don't know what is more outrageous--this government parasite or the commentators defending her.

Failing to Win...

...isn't necessarily the same as losing... [More]

New Year's Gun Rights Resolution: Demand ATF Investigations

This will at most cost you 5 minutes and a couple stamps. Less if you email. [More]

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Or America. [More]

Those who do not learn from the past...

We're the Only...One for the Road...Enough

Police: Cop had 2-3 beers before crash

Dobbs Ferry cop on leave after DWI arrest in Tarrytown

Westchester correction officer charged with DWI after ambulance is hit

Don't judge all NY "Only Ones" by this.

No doubt they're just a few fermented apples...

Why do I hear the Bee Gees singing "Stayin' Alive"? [More]

A 200-member tax cow-funded security detail, and this...creature wants to disarm you and me while he releases violent criminals back into society.

A Walk in the Park

Recently, Leonard Embody was detained by park rangers after being seen with an AK-47 handgun in Radnor Lake State Park. [More]

Knoxville Gun Rights Examiner Liston Matthews shares his thoughts on this incident.

More Guns...

...fewer dead cops. [More]

Politicians Are Corrupt

Who knew? [More]

Good article.

Party City

Police found the two doormen, Dwayne Troupe, 22, and Ambrosio Silva, 28, were carrying guns, and on searching the building, found a woman with a gun, Zenobia Mills, 28, as well as five other handguns in other parts of the building. The three were charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon and other gun-related crimes, and are being held in lieu of bail at the Cook County Jail. [More]

In gun-free Tim-Tom Paradise? Impossible. Besides, who would ever think to open a speakeasy in Chicago of all places?

Had he only known about it, I'm sure Snuffy would have been there protesting.

No?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Like Cuba with Cars

"California will become like Cuba with cars," said Lawrence Keane, senior counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents the gun industry. "You will only be able to get very old models of guns." [More]

Pretty much, Mr. Keane, and that's the way the rulers want it.

But funny thing about Cuba: Uncle Fidel seemed to be doing all right in the nice wheels category, and his Los Unicos seem to be doing OK in the weaponry department.

Just like California.

I don't suppose you'd like to use your industry leadership position and maybe follow Ronnie Barret's example?

No?

A Safe Seat

Democratic freshman Sen. Kristin Gillibrand is one of her party's most vulnerable incumbents, but New York Republicans can't come up with a political heavyweight to knock her on the ropes, and her campaign gains momentum with each passing day. [More]

It doesn't matter. New York Republicans can't come up with a principled candidate anyway.

Looks like her price per session will be going up. And we'll be the ones getting screwed. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Are There Any True 'Pro-Gun' Candidates in the Illinois Senate Race?

OK, fine. But lots of politicians tell us they support the Second Amendment--and then immediately follow up by showing us their big "buts." Are any of these three willing to give us unequivocal answers to specific questions that will allow us to determine exactly what they mean, with no room for doubt? Do you think they'd answer the Gun Rights Questionnaire? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at three candidates who say they support us. I'd like to find out how much they really do.

Also see more analysis of the health care bill as it pertains to guns, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: December 30

We have taken up our quarters in such a way that from the battalion alarm places each brigade can march into the city (as well as conditions and order will permit) and also behind the redoubts within the city. [More]
