Magazine Drive

In light of the folks (Carolyn McCarthy, Dick Cheney, Peggy Noonan, Bob Brady, and dozens more) willing to use the awful Tucson murders to try to take away more liberties from Americans, I am giving away five politically-incorrect, full-capacity G3 magazines that they wish were illegal.
1. The first five of my Facebook friends in the Knoxville area to comment below and ask for one will get one, free of charge.
2. If you already own at least one mag (pistol or rifle) that holds more than ten rounds, you are ineligible. .22 ...LR mags don't count against you.
3. Limit one per household.
4. If there is enough interest, I might do this again in the future.

Was Hughes Amendment lawfully passed?

And then, if you come to believe we’ve been swindled, ask yourself what we can do about it.  Because it’s a cinch no one in Congress is motivated to resurrect this, nor is the anti-gun media.  [More]
Activists have obtained a video of the proceedings wherein the Hughes Amendment machine gun ban was "passed" in the FOPA '86 bill.  What a cluster...

Run, Don't Walk

Mike thinks he knows where the other three are hiding. [Read]

This is the result of the press conference he talked about earlier.  We've been working behind the scenes to get the right questions asked and I'm told at least one of the reporters we've been speaking to was there.

Stay tuned.

I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Take it Any More!

Self-appointed experts who operate from a framework of theories, assumptions, and conclusions that are impenetrable to the common man are already in possession of considerable power over individual liberty.  Granting them an expanded authority over the very freedom of the individual is therefore an idea which should be approached with the utmost caution. [More]
To do otherwise would be madness.

There are those with agendas who portray resistance to the state as mad.  That's hardly original.

Forget guilty until proven innocent. They're working on crazy until proven sane.

A Panning Review

“It truly isn’t about law enforcement,” he said. “It’s about calling attention to the grievances and concerns about the federal government.” [More]
Well, uh, yeah.

And your point is...?

The Art of the Possible

What possible threat do gun owners think they will face at the library that they would need to come in packing heat? [More]
Oh
I
don't
know.

Gee, that took me all of two minutes to find.

And to think they pay these useful idiot "Authorized Journalists" good money...what possible reason could they have to give these ignoramuses such a broad public reach?

The Secret Formula

There isn't one.  The best prescription is well established, but you can't force people to take it. Sometimes, they just need to get desperate before they realize they should have taken better care of themselves back when they could.  Sometimes they die never realizing the part they played in preventing a happier outcome.

A Drop in the Bucket

Not that I'm accepting 62,000 at face value, but I guess we can add these to the untold millions that were already out there from before any of this idiocy started being imposed. [More]

We're the Only Ones Humble Enough

A Humble police officer remains on administrative leave after authorities said he accidentally shot and killed a suspected car burglar at Deerbrook Mall. [More]
"Humble" or "Bumble"?

The Pistolero has more.

A Liberal Arts Major

"This is one of those scenarios in American politics where the smartest, most intuitive citizens need to force legislation upon the people, even when it is not the popular choice...The logical concept is to separate everyone from their guns" [More]

Try that, you ignorant , unjustifiably self-impressed child, and you just might find yourself in a situation where you say "Wow, good thing I had my gun."

Oh, wait--you mean have OTHERS do your forcing for you...

Grandma was right, Sponge Bob. Lay off the weed.

Future "Authorized Journalist" material, this one...

Should you just give robbers what they want?

As for this latest attack, note that the police, who cannot protect anyone beforehand, have yet to produce after-the fact results. They’ve “searched several homes,” but the attackers are still at large, and even if they do arrest suspects, there is no guarantee they will be convicted, and if so, removed from society until it’s safe to release them back into it—if ever. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column questions how it can be determined with certainty what a dangerous and evil man wants.

Also attend a press conference and wat...uh...listen to The Watchmen.

This Day in History: January 25

January 25, 1779 at Briar Creek, Georgia - On January 25, at 4:00 A.M., Lt. Col. Archibald Campbell marched the British force 10 miles to Hudson's Ferry. He sent the Light Infantry and the South Carolina Royalists to Briar Creek, an additional 14 miles away, to secure the bridge there. The Patriot force at the bridge had learned of the British approach and set fire to the bridge. The British surprised them as they arrived at the bridge.


For 45 minutes, the skirmish raged on. The British finally forced the Patriot force to withdraw. This allowed the British time to put out the fire and capture the bridge.

Conclusion: British Victory.
Casualties: British: 3k, 6w, 7c [More]
