We're the Only Ones Sobering Enough

DUI? What DUI? Politically-connected West Palm Beach cop skates after crashing into four cars [More]

And leaving the scene...

We're the Only Ones Shocking Enough

Janice Wells called the Richland Police Department when she feared a prowler was outside her clapboard house in the rural west Georgia town.

The third-grade teacher had phoned for help. But within minutes of an officer coming to her backdoor, she was screaming in pain and begging not to be shocked again with a Taser. With each scream and cry, the officer threatened her with more shocks. [More]

That'll teach her!

Love for Sale...

Dang, that's a shame Bruce Krafft has to part with these... [Read]

It's gotta be tough to sell guns to pay bills.

Go on over and check out what he's got. Maybe you can both reach a happy agreement.

When I finally strike it rich, I plan on silently stepping in and helping friends in need. All I've got to do is pick six lousy numbers, but I can't even do that right...

We're the Only Ones Unprovoked Enough

David Palmer said he was pulled over in the 1000 block of East Carson Street early that morning. When Trooper Nassan approached the driver's side, Mr. Palmer said he told the officer he had a permit to carry a concealed firearm and a gun in his pocket.

"Nassan, without reason and without provocation, violently struck plaintiff in the head, neck and face," the lawsuit said. [More]

So much for complying with the law requiring permit holders to disclose the information during traffic stops. Based on Nassan's proclivity for making sure he gets home at the end of his shift, it sounds like Palmer's lucky to be alive.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Children as young as 10 are being given shotgun licences in the east of England, the BBC has learnt. [Read]

Why, that doesn't sound very Sarah Brady Paradisey at all...so the "spokeswoman for the Gun Control Network" steps in.

For the children, who must be kept ignorant for their safety. Just ask her.

We're the Only Ones Captivating You Enough

So if they're going to take you hostage under force of arms with no legal authority, why would a self-defense response not be appropriate? [Read]

UPDATE: Restore the Constitution answers my question.

[Via Jeffersonian]

Shouldn't It Be NAAPoC?

I have two words for these shameless old racists. [Read]

The first one starts with "F."

[Via Ed M]

2A-Loving Liberals?

When it comes to discussing the Second Amendment, liberals check rational thought at the door. [More]

That much I'll agree with.

But can we all get along?

We've had such discussions before.

Qualified for Government Work

Well, he acts like the property of others belongs to him, he resorts to violence, and he's incompetent... [Read]

Congressional 'gun show loophole forum' excludes opposing views

This is Rep. Scott's "bipartisan forum," avowed gungrabbers all, yet presenting themselves as representatives of the whole people. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a rogue's gallery of anti-gunners posing as an august body.
