GRE Weekend Round Up

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:

Howard Nemerov/Austin:
Anti-rights groups do our job for us

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
National Peace Officers Memorial Day

Steve D. Jones/Fort Smith:
Oklahoma governor vetoes Open Carry bill

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: No two sides to student safety.

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Gun rights activists East and West essentially the same, waiting for November

LaPierre speech reminiscent of earlier effort to ‘control borders, not guns’

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Background checks, liberty, and public safety

From just what kind of danger is Sen. Lautenberg's bill supposed to 'protect' us?

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Guns Magazine Examines McDonald Case and More

Somehow, with night temperatures still dipping into the 40s where I live, seeing the July issue of GUNS Magazine arrive in my mail box seems premature. But the sun is out as I write this, and I know later today the lawn will demand re-engagement, and that we'll soon reach that time where open windows can't compete with closed ones and the hum of the air conditioner.

This issue, aside from all the great articles by my colleagues, has two features I hope Gun Rights Examiner readers will find of particular interest. [More]

Those would be a reader letter in my defense, and my "Rights Watch" column about the McDonald case.

Once again you can download the current copy of the magazine and win a cool gun to boot.

Also get more Second Amendment March videos.

As noted earlier, Examiner has been having some site maintenance issues, so hopefully it won't take too many tries to connect.

I hope you think your gun owner friends ought to know they can read a magazine for free and that you share the link with them.

Examiner Down Again

They're doing some kind of maintenance and I can't get to the site right now. I did publish a GRE this morning but don't want to post the link here yet because experience hath shewn folks aren't inclined to try again later if they can't get a link to work.

Feel free to click on that Examiner click-through graphic in the left sidebar to see if you can access my site, and if you can, the new column will be on the top of the list. Otherwise, I'll post the link here when it looks like things have stabilized.

This Day in History: May 16

May 16, 1778: Militiamen at Fort Randolph at Point Pleasant repulse an attack by 300 Wyandot and Mingo Indians. [More]
