GRE Round Up for May 3

There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. 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:
Puerto Rico Statehood, another threat to freedom in Wyoming

Daniel White/Cleveland:
Tell your legislators you want Ohio's restaurant carry ban repealed

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Gun Safety 101: Mandatory courses in public schools, bounties for thugs

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Forcible citizen disarmament advocacy, and the smearing of the militias

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Dobson: GOP misled me on Paul [More]

Yeah, well, a guy with your reach and influence ought to do minimal fact-checking before dispatching the troops.

Party operatives will mislead to promote their preferred candidate?

Who ever saw that one coming?

Hotmail Blues

It's really screwing up on me today. I can't get to many emails and can't respond to others. If you're trying to give me a tip or ask a question or whatever, please understand. I also wouldn't mind if folks held up on correspondence until I get things sorted out.

We're the Only Ones Crossing the Line Enough

Clerks who work at a Clyde Road gas station are forced to dial 911 after two police officers allegedly lost control. They are accused of doing everything from stealing pizza and punching a clerk to posing as Homeland Security. [More]

Plus he lied to investigators when he claimed he was surrounded. Don't non-"Only Ones" go to jail just for that, let alone the other stuff?

How could we possibly have known?
