It's Only Common Sense

Machetes used in armed robberies not uncommon, police say [More]

I guess making an armed response a common response by the commoners will not become commonplace in Massachusetts, with all its "common sense gun laws"...?

No Limit

Nonetheless, Alabama officials say the number is actually zero since the state does not define an acceptable dosing level. “No such thing as an overdose,” said James L. McNees, director of the Alabama Office of Radiation Control. [More]

So that explains how Joe Reiss can sound so confident...?

Reframing the Question

Who Would Oppose Closing the Gun Show Loophole? [More]

See, I would ask it a different way...something along the lines of:

"How many deaths are you willing to rack up with your demand to eliminate private sales through the use of force?"

I think that's probably a more accurate representation of what we could expect to see happen.

Why these people who claim to be against it are so willing to use the state to initiate "gun violence" and bend us to their will is something only they can answer.

Dark Passage

Mexican officials investigating the death of 72 people found murdered at a ranch in the north of the country say they were migrants trying to reach the United States. [More]

What, no "path to citizenship" and "free" hospital care over there...?

The Crux of the Problem

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers. [More]

All together now:

Damned American gun shows...Damned expired Assault Weapons ban...

He adds that one guard repeatedly called him "bitch" as he roughed him up. [More]

Huh.

That must be why Prince George's Hospital wants to "change attitudes about guns and violence."

Otherwise, somebody might end up having to get surgery they do need...

"Shock Mentor," meet "Hydra-Shok Mentor"...

Denounce Portland Mayor Sam Adams, not Oregon Firearms Federation

What is it, a projection thing, where those who can't--or won't control themselves assume the rest of us must possess the same defects in character and self-control? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column administers a fist...uh...fisking.

This Day in History: August 26

Constitutionalists Demand Action
August 26, 1778
The Berkshire Constitutionalists continued to agitate for a true constitutional convention, and kept their courts closed “rather than to have Law dealt out…without any Foundation to support it, for…we should before this time have had a Bill of rights, and a Constitution.” On August 26, the eighteen towns that met in Pittsfield threatened to join with another state if a special constitutional convention were not called.
