‘Project Gunwalker’ sources talking to Senate staffers

Insider sources claiming they can provide testimony and documentation to confirm allegations raised in the “Project Gunwalker” story reported previously in this column are now in contact and/or have been placed in touch with Senate staffers.  [More]
We have lift-off.

Stop What You're Doing...

...and read this.

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

No, you f#@!&*g idiots, of course you don't "hunt with it." [Read]

No mere--what do they call you blokes?--subject can buy one of these, which I thought was the way you lot liked it. And it has nothing to do with the Giffords shooting.  Or Carolyn McCarthy's bill.  Why you'd stretch so to tie those in tells us all we need to know about Daily Mail reporters.

I swear, I think all gun events ought to only admit "Authorized Journalists" who can present some sort of verifiable non-stupidity/integrity credentials.  I know the shows thrive on publicity and all, but letting these morons in doesn't do them any favors.

We're the Only Ones Home on the Range Enough

On Thursday morning, residents had circled with orange marker approximately a dozen pieces of gray metal on Ronald Avenue. Included in their survey were a few deformed, copper-colored bullets with gray metal cores. [More]
Back when I lived in Redondo Beach, I could hear them shooting from my house. They didn't do it at obnoxious hours, so I didn't mind it because of the noise per se. Besides, to rip off Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, I love the sound of a range--it sounds like freedom.

But then I would remember the place was "Only Ones" exclusive, and it didn't sound like that at all.

Pushing the Pull Door

John Richardson explains. [Read]

Kind'a reminds me of this.

On Common Ground

As a liberal Democrat, I worry about the damage we might do by rushing toward a fresh raft of gun-control laws. It's very hard to demonstrate that most of them -- registration, waiting periods, one-gun-a-month laws, closing the gun-show loophole, large-capacity-magazine restrictions, assault-rifle bans -- have ever saved a life... 

Gun control not only does no practical good, it actively causes harm. [More]
So "as a liberal Democrat," do you feel no complicity for enabling that harm, by giving aid and comfort to those "liberal Democrats" inflicting it on us?

I mean, it's fine and good that you say you understand the truth about "gun control." Now bring yourself up to speed on the evils of collectivists usurping undelegated authority, and we just might find some of that "common ground" your side keeps making noises about as they advance from a beachhead they've already captured and controlled.

We're the Only Ones Legally Justified Enough

The shooting was deemed legally justified. [More]
Who cares? He's just a dead druggie, right?

I mean, this could never happen to one of us.

Could it?

The First Test

Me, I think this qualifies as being a legitimate "single issue" concern...[Read]

Ignoring Brady

An armed robbery suspect was shot multiple times Wednesday morning after he forced a cashier into a store office at gunpoint and demanded cash, police said. [Read]
[and]
Police are still looking for a North Las Vegas robber they say was stopped by his victim using a handgun. [Read]

Why didn't they just give them what they wanted?

Instead of what they deserved?

Without a Trace?

The number of traces have continued to increase since then, averaging about 33,000 traces a year in the last four years. [More]
Question:  Does this number include traces for guns turned in at all those stupid "buy back" theatrical events?  Because, if so, just this one local event would account for about 7.5%. 

Canada home firebombing case shows evil of anti-defense laws

If anything, Mr. Thomson showed great restraint—anyone throwing Molotov cocktails at an occupied house deserves to be repelled using any and all force necessary, including lethal. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column  returns fire at the arson enablers.

Also put a little something extra in the collection plate this Sunday.
