GRE Round Up for May 27

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:

Daniel White/Cleveland:
Irrational opposition to Restaurant Carry bill doesn't stop passage

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
NRA 2010 Convention in Charlotte, Part V: The Marriott

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Why Chicago shooting deflates anti-gun philosophy everywhere…including Seattle

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Elderly Chicago man saves family, self with 'illegal' handgun

Go. Read. And please share these links.

True enough.

But if he gets a second term, Katy bar the door.

The antis and their "progressive" (that's Orwellian for "Marxist traitor") media allies are counting on everyone believing Obama doesn't want to take away guns. Of course he does.

Don't for a second believe otherwise, or that the Brady "F" was not calculated.

Great Expectations

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen said Wednesday he expects lawmakers to once again override his veto of bill to allow handgun carry permit holders to bring weapons into bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. [More]

The true outrage is how we've come to expect this kind of contempt for our rights from so many A-rated endorsees.

We're the Only Ones Still Ticking Enough

Imagine being ordered by airport security workers to put your very expensive watch on a scanning belt, over your objections. Then imagine going to retrieve it and it’s gone. [More]
