Risk Management, Bold Republican-Style

Why...nobody told us there's be risks... [Read]

I trust nobody thought their howls of protests were calculated to do anything but give them a political advantage?

Quigley....Paging Professor Quigley...

GRE Round Up for Mar. 31

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:

Anthony Bouchard/Cheyenne:
Anti-Gun Bill Ayers UW engagement cancelled, not so fast

Don Gwinn/Chicago:
For anti-gun Northwestern professor, Constitutional ignorance is no excuse

Dave Workman/Seattle:
D.C. court ruling reveals what anti-gunners call ‘common-sense gun laws’

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
ICHV exploits 'Hutaree' hysteria to gin up support for 'assault weapon' ban

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Where There's Smoke...

An eastern Pennsylvania hospital says it plans to stop hiring new employees who are smokers. [More]

I wonder when someone's going to get around trying that with gun owners...

We're the Only Ones Getting Our Story Straight Enough

When police questioned him, the man, who later turned out to be Officer Thomas, said he didn’t hear any gunshots. [More]

and then:

...Officer Thomas told police the men were able to get the gun from him and they fired the shots. He said he was able to get the gun back after the shots were fired.

Kind'a makes you wonder how many other official police reports this apparent liar has lied on...

And noting the Raven Bar and intoxication mentions, it also fills me with a warm sense of justice to know that "Only Ones" are exempted from that CCW reform their mouthpieces are against. Because they're better than us.

If Only We Had...

...more cameras. [More]

Of course, that depends on what they record...

We're the Only Ones Down the Up Staircase Enough

Police: Cop charged in man's death had pushed him down steps...

...Joe Hamilton told the Post-Dispatch on Tuesday that when he gave the tape to police, "I thought they were on my side." At that time, he didn't know a police officer is the one who allegedly pushed his brother. By the time Overland police had turned the tape over to county investigators, it had been erased... [More]

So I guess we'll have to settle for a reenactment?

Judge Urbina's Wisdom Prevails!

Four Die in D.C. Drive-By Shooting [More]

Say, that's some "compelling government interest" you're preserving there, judge.

Thanks for being on the judicial forefront of promoting "public safety concerns."

Was Key Evidence Left Out of DC Gun Case?

With these stakes, The Times' critique is serious, all the more so because Halbrook has earned such an august reputation, not just as a lawyer, but as one of the foremost scholars and champions of the right to keep and bear arms. There's nothing stated in the editorial he doesn't know inside and out. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an omission with potentially disastrous consequences.

This Day in History: March 31

March 31, 1778
"I hope a due attention will also be paid to keeping up a sufficient quantity of Cloathing, that the Soldiers may never be reduced to want and nakedness. Not only a loss from Sickness, follows the want of covering, but desertion to a very great degree. I am astonished, considering the sufferings the men have undergone, that more of them have not left us." Washington to James Bowdoin (Fitzgerald, Vol. XI, 181) [More]
