GRE Round Up for May 24

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:

Paul Valone/Charlotte:
GRNC campaign leads Marriott to say signs will be removed

Daniel White/Cleveland:
Senate vote scheduled on Ohio Restaurant Carry reform

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Second Amendment rights for our military

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Violent crime declines as American gun ownership rises

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Does Rep. Hank Johnson think guns will make airports 'tip over and capsize'?

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

ATF Under Fire from CNN

What gets me is, it's not news until they acknowledge it to be. Some of us have been out there waving this flag for the better part of a year...

Again and again and again...all the while asking where the hell the media was... [More]

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column concedes it may be better late than never...we'll know when we see the show.

Shhh...Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet...

I'm patwonizing Mawwiott...

...QDMA 10th Annual National Convention & Whitetail Expo!

...For Hotel Reservations, contact:
Louisville Marriott Downtown
(502) 627-5045 or (800) 533-0127
Reservation code: QDMQDMA

In case you want to ask them if Marriott is the only hotel in Louisville...sure seems like it wouldn't be all that difficult to find other accommodations between now and July...

Through a Glass Darkly

...If I were conducting "official business," I'd damn sure rather be observed through this kind of lens...

I'm aware there are those just arrogant enough to think they have the last word.

Y'all saw the latest chapter in this saga, right?

It's here. I note the "ram it down your throat" thug is still on the job.

A-yup.

We're the Only Ones...

...Truth-Impaired Enough.

...P***ing You Off Enough.

...Also Truth-Impaired Enough.

...Stunningly Wrong Enough.

We're the Only Ones Inconvenienced Enough

Caught On Tape: Officers' Convenience Store Rant [More]

The fact that they all behaved this way shakes my very faith in the notion that they must have only been "a few bad apples"...that and years of documenting this...

Crime and Punishment

Woman Prisoner Sent to Solitary for Reporting Rape by Guard [More]

To all those who advocate treating prisoners like animals and laugh at their abuse--let's just hope you don't get arrested.

What, you don't commit crimes?

Good one.

We're the Only Ones Torturing Enough

A one-time Chicago police commander who officials say oversaw the torture of more than 100 black men goes on trial Monday.

The first allegations date back 40 years, but former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge has avoided prosecution until now.

Prosecutors say detectives under his command on the city's South Side tortured suspects until they confessed to crimes they may or may not have committed. [More]

Everybody understands why Daley insists on he and his being the "Only Ones" who can stick a bayoneted rifle up your butt, right?

We're the Only Ones Just Going Off Enough

Officer's Gun Discharges Accidentally

A Houston police officer and an innocent bystander were sent to the hospital early Sunday morning after the officer's shotgun discharged... [More]

All by its own self.

I can never get mine to do that. Must be a special "Only Ones" feature, because that always seems to be where I read about these things happening...

[Via Harvey]

A Winning Police Tactic

That would be Chicago's handgun ban. [Read]

Leave it to an "academic" like Lawrence Rosenthal to characterize insistence on recognition of individual unalienable rights as an "attack." And to assert the Second Amendment created a right...

With agenda-driven hucksters like this accorded the status of law professor, is it any wonder so many attorneys being churned out are so damned ignorant?

When WE Do It, It's a "Prank." When YOU Do It...

[T]he accused 17-year-old was charged with aggravated assault and tampering with a food product. [More]

Good--you can make someone deathly ill doing that.

Just like with tricking your colleagues into eating dog saliva-tainted peanut butter. But I guess because the perps here were "Only Ones" the most fitting punishment for the "prank" was "reassignment"?

Job Description

Vickie Walling, a former chief of staff to Rep. John Tanner (D-Tenn.) who is now a managing director at Prime Policy Group, will lobby for the NRA on campaign finance reform legislation and Second Amendment rights for D.C. residents, according to a lobbying registration filed Friday. [More]

The guy she worked for was only "C"-rated by GOA.

Look, I have no idea how she'll do or what her convictions are. That's the reason I bring this up.

Bob Ricker and Richard Feldman were professionally qualified to advocate for NRA.

Here's hoping Fairfax has learned their lesson and she's also a "believer."

Here's hoping.

Can IBM Car Technology Pose Threat to Gun Rights?

Sound nuts? Hey, I'm not the one applying for a patent to take over control of your car. But, yeah, the overarching compulsion to control every aspect of your fellow man's life is, no doubt, indicative of a deeply disturbed mind. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at some technogeeks fiddling with a remote control Bill of Rights shutoff switch.
