Citizens for ...Well, They're Not Really FOR Anything, Are They...?

"We've had an awful lot of gang activity, many deaths of young black men in our community. We've had a lot of black males in prison because of drunk driving"... [More]

Gina Hawthorne-Hill and the Driving Park Civic Coalition.

Their mentality makes it all possible.

Oh, and do read the whole thing.

The Framingham Nightstalkers

A Framingham man spent his birthday in jail Saturday night after police found three guns, including a high-powered assault rifle, illegally stored in his home. [More]

There's a reputed Transylvanian legend I've heard from Hollywood (but not from my parents or grandparents, who never gave such nonsense any thought) that a vampire cannot cross your threshold unless you invite him in.

It's origin may be questionable, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't heed the principle.

Nightstalkers do walk among us. And they're constantly trying to get in, bend us to their will and thrive off our lives.

Their victim hardly sounds as bright as his laser pointer, but even dimmer are most of the comments from the "serves him right" village peasants, who apparently believe the old and ignorant superstition that only castle-dwellers and their minions should have fangs.

Raising the Issue

These cases raise the issue of whether armed citizens have the legal — and moral — right to fight back...[More]

Perhaps in your diseased minds, Nancy A. Fischer and Gene Warner.

Those of us who aren't amoral, deluded and just plain pussies do not share in your self-imposed disabilities/rationalization for personal prejudice, ignorance and cowardice, and don't equate possible questionable judgment in some DGUs to be a moral indictment against them all.

That's the issue people should be raising when they read your blathering paean for helplessness.

Reworded: What the hell is wrong with you two?

We're the Only Ones Not Loony Enough

A veteran highway cop was suspended Saturday after his NYPD patrol vehicle with a loaded shotgun inside was stolen by a loony Bronx crook, police said. [More]

Keeping guns "off the streets," Furious Mike Paradise-style. Still, this is more than just another "Only Ones" entry, it gives us an opportunity to do a little CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA payback.

Regular readers should know by now we have no greater enemy in all of Authorized Journalismdom than the wretched subversive punks over at the New York Daily News.

Some of you are no doubt aware of the disabilities groups protest that compelled Dreamworks to remove it's "Simple Jack" website over use of the term "full retard" in Tropic Thunder.

Why not ask these guys how they feel about the Daily News perpetuating hateful and hurtful stereotypes by referring to someone with mental issues as "loony"?

Patches, I'm Dependin' on You, Son*...Update

From Raven's Wood Enterprises:

We would like to thank all those who purchased the "III" (Threeper) 'Fortune Favors the Bold' patch.

The time has come, due lack of demand, to no longer carry the "Fortune Favors the Bold" patch. Most everyone seems to have what they want, or have decided they like the Nyberg III Flag patch better.

So, all "Threeper" patch orders received to date (1/31/10) have been processed and sent. Any other orders received for the Threeper patch will be returned.

Nyberg III Flag patches will continue to be offered for the foreseeable future.

Here's how to order.

But We're Different

Oh you think that, do you...? [Read]

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

More than 1,000 police officers and police community support officers have joined a Facebook campaign against single patrols, complaining that it puts them in danger. [More]

Leave it to the Brits to give new meaning to "Who will guard the guards?"

Esta es Mi Fiesta y Lloraré si Quiero

More than a dozen gunmen sealed off a street in the violent border city of Ciudad Juárez and opened fire on a house where high school students were having a party, killing 13 people, officials said Sunday. [More]

Tú también llorarías si te ocurriese a ti.

Damned American gun shows.

Whatever it Takes

Horrors! An assault double entendre!

Stop it!

You're scaring Paul.

And because the guys in the Nike ad are black, they're especially scaring Josh.

They'll do whatever it takes to ban guns and not leave you with anything.

As long as someone else does the enforcing for them.

Yes, By All Means, Let's Talk About Guns

"We have plenty of ammunition, not in bullets, but we have plenty of ammunition to fight gun crime," Snyder said. [More]

Sorry, Jen, but unless you have real ammunition, you have no ammunition. I can't help but notice all this gun talk focuses on the negative.

What the hell do you think prevents real, up-close-and-personal violent crime?

But your measure of success is in how many "shots fired" reports were made two years ago, and your prescription for security is telling people to attend candlelight cud-chewing vigils held by these bleaters?

Why Would Illinois Gun Owners Vote for Gungrabber Mark Kirk?

It's a shame the information is so hard to find and so little known, and at the risk of starting a fight, or maybe with that purpose, I put much of the blame squarely on the national and state "gun rights" organizations. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column foresees some predictable and pretty damn pathetic results.

Also take heed of a potential gain reversal in Oregon and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?

This Day in History: February 1

A return made February 1, 1778 shows the number of incapacitated increased to 3,989, again traced to the need of clothing. [More]
