GRE Round Up for December 22

I didn't post a Round Up yesterday because of all the link foul-ups, but Kurt Hofmann was not deterred and posted one on Armed & Safe.

I'll try again now. Here are the latest offerings from my fellow GREs:

Ed Stone/Atlanta:

• Georgia Tech Armed Robbery in Disarmed Victim Zone

Dave Workman/Seattle:

• Violent crime stays down as more Washingtonians are packing
• Fish & Wildlife merger with Parks and this morning’s ‘public’ meeting 

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

• Defenselessness in the name of 'child safety'
• BATFE shows its contempt for will of the people

Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

• Albuquerque Libertarian
• Cochise County Libertarian
• Conservative
• LA Anti-Establishment
• Michigan Firearms

An Animated Conversation

BATFUtoons...[Watch]

I haven't heard background music like that since a buddy's bachelor party back in '88.

The acting's about as poor, too.

I keep expecting to hear moans.

A Distinct Advantage

“One Shot provides the warfighter with a distinct advantage,” said Dan Schultz, vice president for Lockheed Martin’s Ship and Aviation Systems business. [More]

I don't suppose it's in anyone's interests to ensure that those deemed necessary to the security of a free State have a distinct advantage...?

The Army’s Aviation Applied Technology Directorate also recently awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to incorporate One Shot technology into the Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System, which features a powerful rifle fitted into a highly stabilized turret mounted on board an unmanned helicopter or tower.  

I'm assuming this won't be available to We the People, either. If you were tasked with monkeywrenching this, how would you  go about it?  Might be best to have that theoretical discussion now...

When Assault Snow Shovels Are Outlawed...

...only outlaws will have assault snow shovels. [Read]

Scary. To think--even with everything we know now--some irresponsible parents still allow their minor children to handle these things without adult supervision...

We're the Only Ones Choking Off Your Options Enough

If you do anything, you're "vigilantes." [Read]

If we do it, well, we are the "Only Ones"...even if so far we've proven utter failures.

Hey we have an idea--it's OK if you become our little bi...uh...snitch!

These jackasses continue to make me shake my head in wonder. It's like departments go out of their way to find ethical and emotional defectives.

The Usual Suspects

The campaign to regulate the Internet was funded by a who's who of left-liberal foundations. [More]

I want to show you something. It's my shocked face.

The Perils of Pauline

Their actions provoked a reorganization and professionalization of the militia, which became known as the National Guard. [More]

Just the "organized" part, Pauline.

I hardly believe you don't know that.

Or that "Congress has established the present National Guard under its own power to raise armies, expressly stating that it was not doing so under its power to organize and arm the militia."

Or that you're unaware of the overwhelming documentation detailing the intent of the Founders that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

But I guess I forget my place. Current accepted thought among the more enlightened is that we mere rustics are simply too unschooled to weigh in on matters best left for interpretation by a qualified class of academics and legal professionals. 

I'm sorry, Pau...uh...Dr. Maier. It won't happen again. You were saying?

Dangerous Flaws...

...in gun database   [More]

I'll say...

For instance, the fact that one even exists...

Enhance Existing Gun Laws!

"They look just like real guns," said Salay. "I know, because I have 20 firearms myself." Salay said he is an NRA-certified gun instructor, a military veteran and a Boy Scout leader. [More]

Oh, that explains it.

Plus he's an "Only One"!

Yo, dumb-fu...dd: They're already illegal in CA.

Which would have baffled the hell out of me and every one of my siblings and friends had you polled us several decades back...

Second Amendment attorney: ATF’s proposed long gun ‘emergency’ regs illegal

Further, the report claims “The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms,” a concern Second Amendment scholar, author and attorney David T. Hardy details on his Of Arms and the Law blog... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column clears up some confusion caused by a bureaucrat who doesn't want to confuse us as he confuses usurpation with legitimate authority.

Clear?

Then tune in to Trigger Sports--it's Pre-recorded! this time (don't be confused, just watch and enjoy), and resolve to surround yourself with guns, guns and more guns...

The more people you share the link with, the fewer will end up being confused by all this...
