John Longenecker is recovering from surgery, but he's made the effort to work through it and bring us another Newsletter.

"I'm the NRB!"

And since they see little difference between A and B, I shall heretofore refer to them as the NRB. [More]

I like it.

We do, too!

Hey, what about us?

The Tourist Trap

Armed gang kidnaps 22 visitors in Acapulco [More]

Hey, I know that place...

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

"While circling the rear perimeter, lab advanced on officers in a threatening manner before being shot and killed." [More]

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to serve and protect you, and have a super day!

We're the Only Ones Resigned Enough

Det. Charles Knapp, 53, is stepping down from the force after police say he showed up to work drunk on August 30th. [More]

I could swear I just got done talking about this...

[Via FFFW]

We're the Only Ones Party Pooping Enough

Yale University students caught in a raid Saturday of a private dance party at a nightclub on Crown Street are upset over the way they were treated by police.[More]

Why? If Chief Frank Limon thinks siccing SWAT on college kids is an appropriate response to an occupancy code violation, who are we to disagree and deem him full of...party poop?

We're the Only Ones Snappy Dressers Enough

Parker Officer: “I snapped”...A Parker police officer charged with murder was on duty and in uniform when his ex-girlfriend was killed, according to her neighbors and investigators. [More]

I don't believe it--Everyone knows the badge and uniform make him more trustworthy than the rest of us...just ask any citizen who calls in a report on open carriers.

Or Detective Rod...

Shall Not Be Infringed--Unless the Only Ones Think You're Weird

Paul Dorr, well known locally for demonstrating at abortion clinics and agitating against government spending, said he applied for a permit because he carries large amounts of cash as part of a balloon-selling business. Weber decided Dorr was too “weird” to carry a gun, although he had held a permit without any problems from the late 1990s until 2006. The sheriff put this notation on Dorr’s rejected application: “Concern from Public. Don’t trust him.” [More]

But we can trust an elitist who ignores his oath to the Constitution?

Damned American...

...grenade shows! [Read]

We're the Only Ones Missing in Action Enough

A Los Angeles Sheriff deputy responding to an armed robbery call this morning in West Hollywood fired eight shots at a man whom the deputy believed pointed a gun, missing him. [More]

Good thing he didn't try shooting to wound...like some of the gun grabbers who endorse the "Only Ones" doctrine would like to enact.

UPDATE: Good thing he missed! That was the clerk he was firing at...

A Black Day at the DOJ

They've turned to the dark side.

I guess the old motif didn't really fit the new mission. It's been a lie for a while anyway...

I guess that's because the Constitution says it's about "secur[ing] the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" instead of imposing and enforcing "the common law [and] the will of mankind"...

I guess at some point, there's no need to hide intent any more...

Isn't that right, fellow global citizens?

Overwhelmed

This goes out to all of you who sent me tips over the weekend, particularly those who sent multiple emails--I apologize, there's just not enough of me to read all of them, let alone post on them.

It goes for weekdays, too. I literally have hundreds to go through and I just can't keep up with them all.

Thank you for understanding.

We're Not the Only Ones Judgmental Enough

Judges want to bear arms after Philippine shooting [More]

Aren't we "Only Ones," too?

I wonder how tough it would be to get to Renato Corona? I doubt someone who wasn't pretty well covered himself would be so flippant about the plight of his inferiors...

A Self-Aiming Question

Clearly, he needs a self-aiming gun. Fortunately, one should be available next year. [More]

Will I be able to get one too, or will it be marked ""RESTRICTED FOR GOVERNMENT OR LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY"?

[Via lots of you]

Mumbai on the Potomac

You are now in a Death Fight.

You will win, or Die. [More]

The ones who say "give them what they want" are the ones who would coerce your choice for a different response away.

[E]ven though I rejected his overtures the last time he reached out to me, and ended up denouncing him instead of gun owner rights, in this effort, I'll not only join him, I'll turn things up a few notches. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a proposal that's altogether too modest in terms of being "'good for the gander' fair."
