Stop the Flow to Mexico...

Among the topics discussed were the deportation to Mexico of large number of Mexicans citizens who have committed felonies in the United States.

Jose Reyes Ferriz, mayor of Ciudad Juarez, said Mexican border mayors are asking U.S. officials to stem the deportation of convicts to their communities. [More]

We'd rather you kept them and paid for them there.  And, oh, yeah--we also want you to disarm.

All in the interests of amicable relations, comprende?

ST&D* To Stop the Carnage!

Study: Texting and Driving Killed at Least 16,000 in US [More]

We obviously need background checks, licensing, bans on easily concealable "junk phones"...say, did you realize that terrorists can buy cell phones? TARFU!*

[I included the footnote link for people like me, who have never texted in their lives. My thumbs are too big, my eyes are too bad and I see no reason why I  would want to spell out letters when I can just call someone and say what I want to say. I guess I'm too old, ornery and set in my ways to get the whole phenomenon.]

UPDATE: Ha!  Tell me that doesn't just figure...

Damn Heller Decision!

Now there's blood on the streets in DC. [Read]

We knew this would happen if you let "law-abiding" citizens keep guns...uh...in their homes...

[Via William T]

High Anxiety

Officials in Europe, US on High Alert for Commando-Style Raids... [More]

There's speculation over at The Cliffs...

Wouldn't surprise me none...

Fiorina Supports the Terror Pig Loophole!

The Brady Campaign said it.

I believe it.

That settles it.

"Bill's Law"

Do it for the "Only Ones." [More]

Because we all know what kind of violent criminals have "illegal guns."

Waves of Fear

The number of people wounded or killed by gunfire is up citywide, sending waves of fear through some of New York's most dangerous neighborhoods. [More]

Fortunately, Mayor Bloomberg, with his taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards, remains secure and safe, so that's one fear we don't need to worry about as he waves at the unwashed masses from behind the barricades...

[Via Harvey]

We're the Only Ones Evidentiary Enough

Boston police are investigating how possible evidence in a drug investigation disappeared from a home that was secured by officers while investigators waited for a search warrant... [More]

Yeah, is a puzzlement.

[Via Ed M]

Who is NRA giving money to--and why?

So they don't give directly to the anti-gunner--they give to a group that portions out the spoils, and that includes sending money we donate to anti-gunners? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column makes the case for cutting out the middleman.

Also link up to today's Trigger Sports Live!, where we'll be discussing Bloomberg's new gun tracing report.

September 29, 1778, Trenton, New Jersey
