A Prohibited Person
Xu Lindong’s confinement in a locked mental ward was all the more notable, his brother says, for one extraordinary fact: he was not the least bit deranged. Angered by a dispute over land, he had merely filed a series of complaints against the local government. The government’s response was to draw up an order to commit him to a mental hospital — and then to forge his brother’s name on the signature line. [More]
What's the problem? His condition was adjudicated by the government and supported by certified professionals.
Hey, isn't "crazy" one of the pejoratives the antis use to describe we happy malcontents? Along with "hatriot" and "extremist" and...
Isn't that what the term "gun nut" is meant to convey--that you must be crazy to even want one?
We're the Only Ones Testing Your Faith Enough
"This is a sad day for all us when police choose not to do their job, lie, cheat and cover up things and are still allowed to keep their jobs,'' said the woman, who did not wish to be identified for fear of retribution. "It is hard to have any faith in the system." [More]Should we tell her...?

More Likely
Brunswick burglar fatally shot by a longtime friend [More]
What do the antis tell us? If we own a gun for protection, we're more likely to shoot a friend or an acquaintance?
Well, if it's truly not a friend and they're breaking into our home in the dead of night, I should hope so--as opposed to the alternative results.
I would have this to say to Mr. Wiley:
That goes for talking to "Authorized Journalists," too.
There's something about this story...Let me just say I won't be surprised if we hear more. If nothing else, opening your home and life to a known chronic serial reptile doesn't indicate the best judgment, being 68 years old and not knowing to clam up and talk only to your attorney is strike two, and sorry, but...
With the caveat that I really know nothing about this and am basing my spider sense on what the admittedly deficient field of "Authorized Journalism" is serving up here...

We're the Only Ones All Charged Up Enough
Officer Kenneth Simon, 49, was charged today with perjury, official oppression, conspiracy, theft, obstruction and other charges for his role in a July drug bust at a North Side car wash. Officer Anthony Scarpine, 58, was charged with conspiracy, obstruction, official oppression and unsworn falsification to authorities. [More]Two old guys? Can we assume that means they've been allowed to get away with "few bad appling" for some time?

Why did ATF issue—and then rescind—a ruling declaring air guns ‘firearms’?
The fact remains—ATF has the testing conclusions to execute this aborted ruling if and when they wish to—in fact, if their analysis about what constitutes a United States Code-defined “firearm” is "correct"—and if they don’t know, who does?—this could be a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of airgun dealers and owners that could be dropped at any time. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an agency with the power to destroy your life that evidently makes things up as it goes along.
I'd love to say "unbelievable," except I can't.
