GRE Round Up for Apr. 15

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:

Ed Stone/Atlanta:
Emory Police Chief tells committee that armed students are a danger during a mass shooting

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
TN candidates respond to gun rights quiz - Knox County Commission District 9 - Paul Pinkston

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Washington D.C. gun compromise not good for gun rights or Constitution

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Giving It Arrest

In the 21st century American legal system, things are no longer so clear. Consider Lindsay Brown, a high-school senior jailed for having a butter knife in her car.

Or Cortez Curtis, a 13-year-old arrested for bringing a calculator that contained tools (including a tiny knife blade) to school. Or 12-year-old Ansche Hedgepeth, handcuffed and detained for eating one French fry on the D.C. subway. Or 61-year-old Kay Leibrand, booked for allowing her hedges to grow too tall. [More]

Tai Party Activists

I am inviting all of you, no matter what your political shade or orientation, to participate in the Tel-Aviv Tea Party. It will take place on 10:00 AM Friday, July 16th (the closest we can get to July 17th). Let us show the public and our fellow man that probing, overreaching, and intruding government is not the only option. In fact, it shouldn’t be an option at all. [More]

Right. The "authorities" are the "Only Ones" who can protect you...

Wonder how fast they'd have gotten there if he'd told the moron dispatcher he had a gun? And why do I get the feeling incompetent parasites like that would starve without a host ?

Policing For Profit - A Practice In Need of Many Changes [More]

Thing is, "profit" in and of itself, is an entirely moral concept. You and I either voluntarily agree on an exchange we think is mutually beneficial or we do not. Coercion doesn't enter into things.

Once it does, it becomes "loot." And the people taking it become "robbers."

So much for the prime directive of government being "to secure the Blessings of Liberty..."

Jury Finds FBI's Shipley Guilty on Gun Charges

As heartbreaking as that is, I can't help but think about other Americans taken from their families by an enforcement apparatus Shipley has been a part of—men like Wayne Fincher or David Olofson, who harmed no one, but who nonetheless ran afoul of edicts trampling a proscription that could not be more clear...
