Skullduggery

Vanderboegh explains his dark power and the evil alliances that enable him to compel us to do his bidding.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I just turned over the Red Queen...

Huh.  The shrine in that kid's back yard looks just like mine.

Targeting Children for Political Gain

Why does the Brady Campaign do it?

We're the Only Ones "Capitol Idea!" Enough

The U.S. Marshals Service can deputize a member of Congress as a special deputy marshal if a threat assessment shows they are in danger, a federal law enforcement official said.

Carrying a special deputy badge allows the bearer to carry a concealed handgun anywhere, including inside a federal building like the U.S. Capitol. [More]
What do you think about that, George Mason?
I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.
Oh.  So I guess not much...?

A Coming Battle

U.S. gun-owners are now entering a global battle of conflicting "norms" about possession of weapons. [More]
Paul Gallant, Joanne Eisen and Alan Chwick explain.

Are we still allowed to say "battle," or is that some kind of new rhetorical taboo?

Nope

What happened in Arizona was not a "Second Amendment remedy." [Read]

I don't get suggesting that it was, or that people who disagree with that analysis are less than serious, or worse, cowards.

Am I reading this wrong?

The Anti-Murder Act

'bout damn time we made it illegal. [Read]

Oh--this is about something else that doesn't work...?

We're the Fauxnly Ones...

Gosh, it's so tough to know how to respond appropriately...no?

Unalienable Rights are Not Government-Dispensed "Benefits"

But Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt says the state has every right to restrict conceal and carry permits to citizens.

"If the guy wants to enjoy the full benefit of residing in the United States become a citizen. He’s been here for 30 years what’s he waiting for?," Pratt told FoxNews.com. [More]

Sorry, Larry.

I support you more than most, but I disagree with you here.

Just not with as much bitchy, hate-filled glee as is being exhibited in some quarters.

We're the Only Ones Whatever Floats Your Boat Enough

I really don’t think it’s necessary to have a gun aboard your boat, even though the law permits you to have one if you don’t violate any other Florida laws — maybe if you cruise the high seas. Quite a few citizens and even police officers are shot with their own guns. [More]
Don't worry--if you get into trouble out there, 30-year veteran "Only One" Bill Jefferson will row out to save you!

Think maybe somebody should tell this genius about "the high seas"...?

Usual suspects line up to exploit Giffords shooting

Both repeat themes familiar to gun rights advocates.  And behind both themes are motivations to swindle the public into further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms and shame political opposition into silence. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the way hypocritical collectivist subversives practice toning down the rhetoric.
