GRE Round Up for May 6

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:

Steve D. Jones/Fort Smith:
NRA grades candidates on the curve

Dave Workman/Seattle:
‘Terror gap’ fraud plays well with Northwest gun prohibitionists

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
If 'gun control' advocates get their way, we'll ALL be 'suspected terrorists'

Go. Read. And please share these links.

A lot of movies do use real firearms with blanks instead of mere nonworking props...

How about just plain War on America...? [Read and watch]

Didn't I just ask the "anybody think it can't get worse" question in the last post?

If the behavior doesn't improve, this demands getting worse. These are what are known as Intolerable Acts.

Well, they're not really, but yeah, if you're going to stage a hostage situation in a populated area, it's probably a good idea to make sure everyone who might happen by knows what's going on.

This Day in History: May 6

When the Continental Army paraded on May 6, 1778, to celebrate the French alliance with America, von Steuben received the honor of organizing the day's activities. On that day the Grand Parade became a showplace for the united American army. Cannons boomed in salute. Thousands of muskets fired the ceremonial "feu de joie," a running fire that passed up and down the double ranks of infantrymen. Cheers echoed across the fields. The good drilling order and imposing appearance that the troops presented during the Alliance Day ceremonies demonstrated their remarkable progress in improving their abilities as a unified, fighting force capable of standing up to the British Army. Washington, with von Steuben's aid, had made an army of the Continental troops. With their French allies, the Americans could now proceed with the war, which would rage on for many years. [More]
