GRE Round Up for May 28

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:
Will Brownells lead in reforming Marriott anti-gun policies?

Daniel White/Cleveland:
Restaurant Carry passes Senate, heads to House

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
NRA 2010 convention in Charlotte, Part IV: Miscellany*

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: America Speaking Out is still not listening.

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Vets protected us, let’s protect their Second Amendment rights

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Mayor Daley: 'Guns is not the answer'

Go. Read. And please share these links.
You're doing that, right?
Just no.

Say, gang, I've got a swell idea! Let's have government-"Authorized Journalists"!

Idiot.

We're the Only Ones Putting Guns ON the Street Enough

A gun, ammunition and several other items were stolen from a Knoxville Police Department investigator's unmarked cruiser...The items included the KPD sergeant's badge, .40-caliber service weapon, two full magazines, KPD ID card and other personal items... [More]
I hate it when that happens to me, don't you?

We're the Only Ones Teaching Kids Sportsmanship Enough

A 37-year-old Ohio police officer who has been on an extended medical leave, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a youth baseball coach...[More]
The few times in my career I've called in sick, I was too ill to even think about going to a ball game, let alone starring a fight with anyone. Plus, when I was helping coach my kids' teams, I always took the attitude we were there to help them develop, and owed them conduct and guidance worth modeling. It really wasn't all that difficult to behave.

By All Means, Scrutinize

OK, Bradys.

Let's compare the total population of gun owners and their "incidents" with the total population and incidents of these guys.

Do you really want to take the Kirsten Rand Challenge?

Amnesty

Sounds good to me.

Oh wait, you want us to turn them in to you...? [Read]

Good for the Goose?

So is this different from this?

I'd like to hear what he actually said.

Does Mayor Daley Dare Order 80-Year-Old 'Gun Criminal' Arrested?

Why wouldn't he order the cuffs slapped on this octogenarian scofflaw and haul him off to a cage? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an opportunity to demonstrate courage of convictions.

Also get some relief in the woods, find out what's not on TV and learn why Alaskans may be saying "I can see freedom from my house."

There's a lot of stuff covered here today. I hope you're inclined to share the link.
