GRE Round Up for May 13

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:
Oklahoma State Troopers Association joins the 'Only Ones'

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Why is NRA convention a 'gun free' zone?

Chris Woodard/Tucson:
Arizona gun law and Immigration has made the left desperate

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Will Arms Trade Treaty Reduce Human Rights Violations in Africa?

Anybody think the solution to human rights violations is to submit to a monopoly of violence solidified by proposed international controls, where we can all become more like Africa...? Hey, at least if your kid gets picked to wear the uniform, it means he's going to eat... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column posits that there may be a better guarantor for human happiness than an internationally-abetted and enforced monopoly of violence.

Also link up with yesterday's Trigger Sports LIVE! show, and find out what's happening with the campus concealed carry movement.

Share the link? I hope so. Unless you think your gun-owning friends are already on top of all this stuff...

We're the Only Ones Amazingly Graceful Enough

You know, "I once was lost, but now I'm found"...? [Read]

And remember: They're not just "Only Ones," they're Ha-Ha-Ha-Harvey "Only Ones."

We're the Only Ones Watching Your Six Enough

Officer White ends up shooting McCloskey. Attorneys for White say he believed McCloskey had a gun. However, McCloskey was unarmed and appears docile in the video. [More]

This article appears to be missing some information.

Oh, yeah, he shot him in the back.

I wonder if McCloskey would be facing 11 years had the situation been reversed...

Two more accounts:

• One should not have to beg.
• Get it off yourself?
  

How to win friends and influence people, "Only Ones"-style. Just feel the love.

Examiner Down

I have a column ready to go but can't access the site or the support center. I have sent an email to my channel manager.

Some others I've checked with can't get to it either.

Here's my main page link.

If you can or can't get to it, please let me know in comments, along with your general region/state.

Thanks.

UPDATE: The site is accessible again, at least from where I am, so I went ahead and posted a new article. Here's today's column, in case you didn't see my announcement. Hopefully it's back to working for everyone again.
