We're the Only Ones...

Two Will Get You 30 Enough

Barrington, 52, was charged last summer with sexually assaulting two girls when they were minors.

Deflated Enough

A former sheriff's deputy who was acquitted in May of causing a drunken motorist's death by shooting out his tire was sentenced Friday to four months in prison for filing a false report about the 2008 incident.

Recanting Enough

A former Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper has recanted testimony he gave 14 years ago that helped convict a mid-Missouri man for the murder of his mother.

Gifted Enough

The government alleges these elected officials accepted gifts in exchange for political favors, constituting public bribery and other violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Keeping Abreast of the Situation Enough

A federal lawsuit filed Thursday accused a Travis County deputy constable of beating a woman and exposing her breast in front of an elementary school with her grandchildren watching in May 2009.

Tampering Enough

A guilty plea by former Schenectady Police Officer John Lewis to a felony computer-tampering charge is part of a plea bargain to resolve several other state and federal criminal charges against him, attorneys involved in the case said.

For the Children Enough

A former police officer convicted of molesting or propositioning almost a dozen teenage girls in Marysville, Perry County is facing new allegations that he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl.

Entrepreneurial Enough

An ex-police officer who worked in Pulaski and Radford pleaded guilty today to federal charges he sold and used methamphetamine in his patrol car while in uniform and on duty.

Men of MysteryEnough

Two Honolulu police sergeants are under investigation for allegedly submitting false reports involving DUI cases. Now, it appears that drunken driving cases involving them are mysteriously getting dismissed.

Forceful Enough

Diabetic Claims Excessive Police Force After Traffic Stop

Straight Enough

The high-ranking officer said the complaint alleges that the Special Operations sergeant was preparing to leave the police station when he was heard telling officers under his command that it was time to go for "f---ing up some fag--ts" and he said some "fags are going to jail tonight."

Driven Enough

A CHP officer faces assault and drunken driving charges following an off-duty domestic dispute that ended when he allegedly rammed his wife's car with his vehicle on a road near their home, police reported Thursday.

Filling Prescriptions Enough

On Wednesday, Kenneth Bradley Nighbert, 32, pleaded guilty to a pair of counts in a federal indictment charging him with conspiracy to sell drugs and burglarize a pharmacy.

Gosh, I hope the Handgun Cont...uh...Brady folks don't accuse me of "denigrating law enforcement" again.

THAT Explains It...

Facts don’t necessarily have the power to change our minds. In fact, quite the opposite. [More]

We're experiencing an inevitable outcome.

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

Since 2006, cops have made 52,000 stops in this eight block area, where about 14,000 people reside. The putative purpose is to take guns off the street. Thus far, they've come up with 25 guns. [More]

How's this liberty/security trade-off working out for public safety?

So far this year, 237 people have been slain in the city, compared with 211 at the same point last year - a 12.3% jump - according to NYPD statistics through July 4, the most recent data available. [More]

Amy, What You Wanna Do?

That’s an execution – not an accident. [More]

Here's an update on one of my favorite obsessed Obama supporters who's been given cover by the "Only Ones," the "just us" system, and the anti-gun academic establishment for decades now.

Meanwhile, in Memsahib Brady Nirvana

[T]he FBI has said the crippling flaw in the Mumbai police’s defence against the initial assault was that its officers didn’t even carry weapons. [More]

Maybe they should have armed the photographers, because it sounds like the (non?) "Only Ones" wouldn't have fired even if they'd had them.

The Clouseau Solution

Police in Daytona Beach have asked area gun shops to provide the personal information of everyone who bought a certain type of handgun in 2004 and 2005. [More]

[Via Harvey]

We're the Only Ones Relying on the Bill of Rights Enough

FBI agent won't testify at Sleepy Hollow cop trial, says she would invoke Fifth Amendment if called to the stand [More]

[Via Harvey]

Cock Like an Egyptian

Really? [Read]

An "automatic"? For $300?

Oh, now I see. The Egyptian "Authorized Journalist" is getting his information from these guys.

Figures with all that Egyptian "gun control" the shooter of the disarmed-by-law got it from an "Only One" (all us "hot-blooded Saeedi" do).

You know, the ones those guys say should be the...uh...only ones we can trust with guns...

New York Times editorial shows desperation of anti-gun arguments

"Reasonable restrictions"?

As defined by an ideology that condemns anything short of a total ban? We're dealing with people who won't even cede the right of individuals to lawfully keep a gun in the home for protection without resorting to deception and hysteria.

Here's what they really want. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes a tone of desperation. Of more importance: Why?
