Inventory Tracking

The FBI and other police agencies don't need a search warrant to track the locations of Americans' cell phones, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday in a precedent-setting decision. [More]

Well of course not.

Why wouldn't they be able to keep tabs on their chattel?

Life sure will be a lot simpler once we get those implants.

We're the Only Ones Unrestrained Enough

“We can conduct any kind of search we want," said McClintock. [More]

And the pathetic thing is--at least for now--he's probably right.

That's One Way to Squelch Free Speech

"We definitely plan on sending him the bill"...[More]

I'd burn the bill, too.

I hear people claim this is going to make radical Muslims hate us and want to kill us, and I'm kind of wondering what all the fuss to date has been about.

UPDATE: So when the government does it, it's a "force protection measure." What does it say about the comparative state of civilizations that this has not resulted in widespread flag-burnings and death threats?

UPDATE 2: Looks like there'll be no bonfire of the vanities after all. Did you catch the comment from "Must Kill Christians"? Y'know, I don't support the idea of burning books because it smacks too much of the group that made that "famous" 'n all, but stuff like this makes me think "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."

We're the Only Ones Feeling Your Pain Enough

Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances. [More]

They just won't stop, will they?

There is a prescription for this sickness...

SAF CHALLENGES CONSTITUTIONALITY OF FEDERAL HANDGUN BAN FOR LAW ABIDING 18-20 YEAR OLDS

The Second Amendment Foundation is challenging federal laws that prohibit law-abiding Americans eighteen through twenty years of age from legally purchasing a handgun through a federally licensed firearm dealer. [More]

What?

Surprise!

Naturally, the "Only One" doesn't "recommend it". [Read]

War Games

Military bases across the U.S. have banned the sale of a new video game that lets a player pretend to be a Taliban fighter and "shoot" U.S. troops in Afghanistan. [More]

So are field exercises are out, too?

Unregistered Criminals for Gun Control

D.A. says Alatorre worked as a lobbyist for years without registering

The prosecutor's office declines to file felony charges in the case... [More]

But of course.

Do you think they'd decline if one of us didn't register with them?

Now There's a Man...

...who has mastered his Orwell!

Yeah, the Founders envisioned a disarmed Marxist Utopia!

Good one, Dennis!

We're the Only Ones Angry and Hateful Enough

''If I had to summarize, I'd just say it's a lot of hatred and and a lot of anger,'' Hlynsky said. [More]

"A lot"?

So who better to send out among us armed and vested with authoritah?

What kind of head case gets into a state of hatred over the trivial concessions listed, especially when you consider how government has screwed the base economy that supports all this "public service"? Guess what kind of concessions most in the private sector have had to make?

These are the "Only Ones" the antis say we must cede a monopoly of violence to? How do we know they won't take it out on us? Why should we think they won't?

Their own guy makes 'em sound more like a public menace, who should be dealt with accordingly if they get out of line.

Well, That's ONE Way "Obama Could Help Stop...Bloodshed"

You know, by crossing the Rubicon here... [Read]

You really don't have a clue, do you, Andres Oppenheimer?

We're the Only Ones Emptied Enough

A police officer in Rhode Island who raped a woman inside an empty police substation has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. [More]

Well, at least he won't be an "Only One"...I mean, alone any more. Or empty, probably.

Did New York gun owner who fired warning shots save lives?

True, what he did was not "by the book." I can't say I know of any professional who teaches firing warning shots. But it worked and nobody was hurt.

Except for George Grier and his family. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column commits heresy against "conventional wisdom".

Hell, if I couldn't do that, I'd have nothing to write about.

Also get more on the pending ATF hearing, revisit a disarmed vet and watch me talk T-shirts with a guy in a suit.
