GRE Round Up for Mar. 30

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Howard Nemerov/Austin:
U.S. Concealed Carry Association has supporters, detractors

Anthony Bouchard/Cheyenne:
NRA gives Senator Reid more praise - enough already!

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Who are we protected from with a gun free zone?

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: American Militias.

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Even MSNBC forced to admit numbers don't support 'gun control'

Chris Woodard/Tucson:
Arizona gun law is on the move.

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Can a Politican Be "Too Pro-Gun"?

He introduced and pushed for a right-to-carry bill that would have given people recognized the right to carry a gun, concealed or otherwise, without having to obtain a permit. [More]

There--I fixed it for you. I hate it when "our side" does that.

I've addressed this on Gun Rights Examiner--several different columns, actually, presenting both sides of the debate:

Competing concealed carry bills in Iowa divide gun owners
Iowa Gun Owners promote 'real right-to-carry'
Iowa Carry says NRA bill 'best chance at getting (concealed carry) into law'
Competing concealed carry bills in Iowa divide gun owners

A Massive Stockpile

"We have no reason to believe they had any intent to sell these weapons," a police source said. "They just shouldn't have had them in the first place." [More]

Well of course not. They're not Furious Mike "Only Ones," are they now?

And a family had dozens of pills!!!

When I take a look at that Fudd gun collection spread out over the table, for some reason I channel Crocodile Dundee:

'at's not a stockpile.

'at's a stockpile.

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

In an unusual move, a heavily armed NYPD security battalion with enough firepower to wipe out Downtown Brooklyn descended onto the city's subway trains yesterday in response to suicide bombings in Russia that killed dozens of passengers in Moscow's subway. [Read]

Geared up for war, are we? Just in case anyone had any ideas about lifting any fingers, look what we can be trusted with...although I wonder what good shooting someone after they've exploded themselves will do

I'm waiting for the first "the gun went off" report...

Remember: "They" hate us 'cause we're free!

Going Forward...

...with the Restore the Constitution Rally. [Read]

Please read and share the link.

As I've said before, I'm going to both rallies.

I love the photo of that pompous little statist punk Bill Maher. If that isn't a window into his soul...

Pat Buchanan has more along these lines.

A Propaganda Coup

Brilliant. You must give them credit. It was brilliant. [Read]

I agree.

We're the Only Ones Driving Enough

"These guys are sometimes the worst drivers out there," John Townsend, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesman, told the newspaper. "It's almost like they're teenagers -- overconfident in their ability to drive. They take defensive driving courses, but they probably should take more of them." [More]

Gee, isn't pointing out their job-related training the exact same argument used to justify them being the "Only Ones" we can trust with guns?

Well, isn't it?

Huh. The indictment of true abilities and attitudes seems pretty familiar, too...

How about keep your thieving mitts off?

Hey, maybe those of us who have sacrificed and saved can do the patriotic thing and buy bonds!

Why Is Government Blocking Access to ATF Whistlebower Website?

Access to the CleanUpATF.org website is being blocked from Department of Justice computers. Users attempting to visit it are reminded that they're being watched and noted. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column helps create an unintended consequence for those who would suppress inconvenient information.

Also book a ride on the Magic Bus and find out what's playing tomorrow.

This Day in History: March 30

In another attack, March 30, 1778, Moses, then a lieutenant, a cousin, and Peter Pence were taken prisoners. Moses’ father and brother and uncle were killed and scalped. The Indians hurried the three captives to a point near Wyalusing Flats, where the three made their escape from ten warriors in one of the most daring adventures ever recorded in frontier history. Van Campen had procured a large knife during the night he released the other prisoners, they grabbed the rifles and in a moment three of the Indians were tomahawked and as the other awoke they were instantly shot, when in a hand-to-hand combat the whites killed three of the remaining four, the tenth Indian making good his escape.
