Myrna Loehrlein, Ph.D. is Clearly Detrimental to Your Health

Being shot by a gun is clearly detrimental to your health. [More]

She went to school to learn that!

"Piled higher and deeper," eh?

I wonder if Myrna would fare any better than Michael?  Do cattle understand anything before the sledgehammer falls, or do they just kind of stand there chewing their cuds until the lights go out?

Stymieing

Come on, Algebra.
This is no place for you.
N.R.A. Stymies Firearms Research, Scientists Say...

The reality is that even these and other basic questions cannot be fully answered, because not enough research has been done. [More]
So what you're saying is every claim stated with such authoritative certainty about  the benefits of "gun control" is fraudulent, and the proponents know it, yet work in concert to enact binding legislation depriving individuals of their rights anyway? Using public funds?

Isn't that what's called a "conspiracy"? And worse?

And what does the fact that NRA has enough clout to "stymie" more money down the agenda rat hole say about who legislators dependent on elections listen to and why?  I thought you "progressives" were all about "democracy."

And why drag poor Stymie into it in such a negative light? He didn't do anything, and I always kind'a liked the guy...

We're the Only Ones Stimulating the...uh...Economy Enough

Report: Chief gave cash for sex [More]
I may need to start a new category for "Blownly Ones"...

Me Too!

It's been a while since the media noticed me! Here I am! Look at me! Hey, over here! [Read]

Meanwhile, Up in the Ivory Towers

University Presidents Speak Out Against Arizona Gun Bills [More]
I can't help but wonder what Michael Crow would do if a gunman burst into his office and started shooting people. Specifically I wonder if his bowels and bladder would empty simultaneously, or if not, which would release first...

Bringing the Background into the Foreground

Basically, what this change would do, if enacted, would require police departments to get a court order before getting access to information about lawful firearms purchases. [More]
Oregon Firearms Federation explains.

A Luger Handgun?

Platt, 33, faces several counts of murder and feticide for allegedly shooting Jilani, a 26-year-old mother-to-be, in the head with a Luger handgun. [More]

Really? He's poppin' caps with a collectible? Not just one that uses 9 mm Luger ammo?

Are you zyd...uh...serious?

[Via Matt S]

We're the Only Ones Disciplined Enough

A police chief who pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife, a former sheriff's deputy accused of child abuse and a police chief who falsified documents have lost their certifications to carry a gun and a badge in the state. [More]
Well waddya know?

A spate...

Obama cites ‘guns’ three times in State of the Union address

What he did not do is what the Bradys were publicly demanding and exerting every ounce of influence at their disposal to pressure him to do... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes the squeaky wheel did not only not get the grease, but it looks like it's been replaced with a spare.

This Day in History: January 26

January 26, 1779 at Burke County, Georgia - The 120-man Georgia Patriot militia rallied at the Burke County Jail to stop the British advance. They knew that the jail would be a target for the British. Maj. James M. Prevost ordered a 230-man detachment of East Florida Rangers, commanded by Lt. Col. Thomas Brown, and a detachment of South Carolina Royalists, commanded by Lt. Col. Joseph Robinson, on a rescue mission to rescue the Loyalist prisoners at the jail.  [More]
