We're the Only Ones Handy with a Gun Enough

Police did a full investigation, as is protocol for any shooting. [More]

I guess that full investigation included a review of Pocatello City Code 9.32.020: DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS PROHIBITED:

It is unlawful for any person to discharge firearms of any kind or description;

Oh, yeah, here it is:

provided, however, that this shall not apply to police officers or other persons licensed to carry firearms, in the discharge of their duties...

Was he discharging his duties--or just his gun?

Destructive of These Ends

The Obama administration now claims a right to kill American citizens without trial, without notice, and without any chance for the marked men or women to object legally. [More]

Anybody think that won't be applied domestically if the ongoing cold war against Liberty activists heats up?

But talk about "Second Amendment remedies" against tyranny and you're the extremist.

As We All Know, 90% of Pirate Arms Come from American Gun Shows

According to several secret State Department cables made public by WikiLeaks, the tanks not only were headed to southern Sudan, but they were the latest installment of several underground arms shipments. [More]

Hey, you guys have any chatter on Mexican cartel guns?

The fact that they're reduced to going after this Assange guy on a leaky condom charge pretty much works in his favor with me.

The State of Utah "Authorized Journalists"

But that isn’t the kind of notoriety the state needs... Naming a state gun is problematic because a gun is, after all, a killing tool. [More]

How about a state incontinence pad?

What's in an Acronym?

WIFLE? [Read]

Is that what Elmer cawwies?

And why am I reminded of Lilly Von Schtupp? (Oh, it's twue, it's twue!)

I guess something more true to their mission, say, Constitution-Usurping Nazi Terrorist Sows, might not make for effective PR...

We're the Only Ones Judgmental Enough

The chamber voted overwhelmingly to convict U.S. District Judge Thomas Porteous on four articles of impeachment stemming from corruption and perjury charges; on the first charge, involving corruption charges from his tenure as a state court judge, the vote was 96-0. [More]

I think I'm going to start using "porteous" as an adjective...

[Via DJK]

They Must All Hang Up Together...

...or most assuredly they shall all hang up separately. [More]

“I don’t care what you think of my views,” he said. “And I don’t care what your readers think of them either.”

So there. I know you are, but what am I? Sticks and stones. I'm rubber, you're glue.


Why, the idiot is a child...

And not a very bright one.

[Found at Yankee Gun Nuts]

We're the Only Ones with a Shocking Loss Enough

Coincidentally enough, it happened across the pond in Sarah Brady Paradise... [Read]

Still, if we're too hard on the hapless chap it might demean him and injure his self-esteem. After all, it's hardly his fault he suffers from OONS (Only Ones Negligence Syndrome)...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

People who break the law should no longer be branded offenders, a leading criminal justice campaigner has said.


Frances Crook, head of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said the "insulting" term demeans individuals and hinders their rehabilitation. [More]

How about "Alternative Morality Disorder (AMD) sufferers"? They have feelings, too, you know.

A rose by any other name.

Don't call me Norman. Call me "Chubsy-Ubsy."

We're the Only Ones Pocketing Enough

Okiwe allegedly told probationers to pay their probation fees in cash, which he pocketed, otherwise he would "violate" them by hauling them into court on a probation violation and possibly send them back to jail, according to sources. [More]

Take a tip from someone who does...?

Chicago database a tool to discourage gun ownership, not to fight crime

That, of course, is nonsense, a cover story for the gullible that masks true intent. This is part of Daley’s revenge for his court loss, an attempt to make things as difficult as he can “legally” get away with, and a way to set traps for gun owners in the bargain. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a systematic harassment campaign backed up by the threat of lethal force that includes the potential for state-sponsored terrorism.

You know, the Chicago way.

Also, hear some sharp words and pointed commentary.
