BJS and FISTing

For those of you who are into such things... [More]

I can't wait to see what kind of traffic THAT drags in. Caught this one the other day:

Hope the undoubted letdown hasn't lost me a valued reader...

We're the Only Ones Securing the Perimeter Enough

Before he went into the Big House, where more than 113,000 people had gathered on Oct. 9, a police officer ensured his weapons were empty and double-checked that he did not have any ammunition on him, said Diane Brown, a spokeswoman for the university's department of public safety. [More]

That's some police work, ensuring none of the other 112,999+ attendees was his ammo-smuggling accomplice...

The Color of Suspicion

No, I'm not talking about this racist diatribe from the self-described "colored people" equating Vanderboegh with a hater and Oath Keepers with a "quasi-militia."

I'm talking about this latest bit of tolerance from NPR, where Juan Williams said:

There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery -- and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.

Oh, wait a minute--that was Jesse Jackson.  Sorry--they all sound alike to me. You know, "progressives."

I really don't give a damn about Williams, as he's done his share of subversion and it's kind of fun to watch national socialists eat their own. It's also instructive to watch so many on the left throw him under the [back of the] bus, and see his primary defenders appear to be coming from the "conservative" seats.

Note to NPR CEO Vivian Schiller--please take up issues of profiling and prejudice with that infidel-killing group who identify themselves as the true representatives of their religion.

I do suggest you wear a burqa.

UPDATE: If they're going to be consistent, she ought to step down for employment discrimination against those she considers to have mental disabilities.

Do you think these creatures realize what walking contradictions they are?

We're the Only Ones Giving You a Chance to Perform Enough

A Denver Police officer is behind bars after investigators say he coerced a woman under arrest into performing a sex act to avoid going to jail. [More]

Guess he really blew it that time. Or she did.

You really can tell a lot about a person's character by how they act when they have power over someone.  And you really can tell a lot about a person by how they act when someone has power over them.

We're the Only Ones Nice Enough

Friends say Petersen is a nice guy who, on Sunday, let his emotions get the best of him. [More]

Yeah, I always pull a gun on people who get me mad when my emotions get the best of me.

Hey, if they'd just act the way I want them to, we wouldn't have a problem in the world...

We're the Only Ones Similar Enough

In the release, the sheriff calls the rocker "a great American" and says the two men have similar goals. [More]

Really, Sheriff? So you would remember your oath to the Constitution and not arrest him if he acted in front of you like "shall not be infringed" actually means what it says?  Assuming that's his goal, too?

Another Child Gun Death

Witnesses say the would-be carjacker, identified by the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office as Kenyon Reese Jr., 20, of Detroit, shot the victim, who fell to the ground, pulled out his own pistol, and returned fire. [More]

If only we could--I don't know--hold a vigil or something...

Flower Power

Gun violence victims honored with dafodils [More]

I wonder what actually works better--that or a "community vigil"...?

Me, I always preferred the "lie-in," but that's basically because I think motorcycles are cool.

Prohibit Prohibited Persons

Wisconsin's law banning all felons from ever possessing a gun violates the 2nd Amendment, according to a lawyer for a man who has challenged the long-standing prohibition. [More]

Speaking as an uncaught felon--and a "gun criminal" doing my utmost to "make us all look bad" at that, I approve of the concept.

Why did NRA give pro-gun candidate an 'F'?

NRA rates Diana Williams equivalent to this guy? Seriously? Even Harry Reid, who supported Obama, Holder, Sotomayor and Kagan got a "B." Not to mention close to five grand. "F's" should be reserved for enemies. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes with friends like PVF, who needs enemies? This is seriously unbelievable. There are a lot of pages to go over in the slideshow, so do reserve a few minutes for this one.

Also get the facts on that New Jersey gun owner, watch me interview some Brits in KY, and get more on those Korean guns.

Help me spread the word by sharing the link...?
