Anti-gun forces to hold press conference today in Chicago

Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

ATF to grant ‘Project Gunwalker’ FOIA inquiry ‘in part’

This will have been vetted with intense scrutiny by a Department of Justice that has proven itself artful at withholding information and stonewalling. [More]

This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders which parts won't be granted.

Run, Run, Run as Fast as You Can...

...You can't catch me, I'm the Gunwalker Man! [Read]

Because Lynne and Liz Cheney are such noted Second Amendment authorities.

I guess there's no better use that the kind of dough they're asking for could be put to...

I wonder if they'll be keeping the riff-raff out of the Blog Bash again this year...?

Resistance is Futile!

I always thought that this argument was hogwash. [More]

As opposed to arguments that are unimaginative and cowardly? Or those of a subversive who knows what he's doing?

The ignorance-based arrogance, if that's what it is, is a two-edged sword.

On the one hand, it's to our advantage in a basic Sun-Tzu kind'a way--that is, if he truly doesn't know those he would make his enemy.

On the other hand, if that fear he ridicules and disparages ever loses its restraining power, that will make things a whole lot more dangerous for everyone, because people who don't fear an "or else" take risks they otherwise would not.

An Ounce of Prevention

The plan I am supporting is, in my view, common sense. And it respects the constitutional rights we all share. [More]

No it's not. It's ridiculous.

And no it does not either.

Anything else you care to be wrong about?

Obviously We Need Stronger Gun Laws

The mother told investigators she did not want to press charges against Hachero, because she had recently been accepted to several Ivy League colleges. [More]

Yep. It's not like there's anything else at play here.

I mean, it's not like weakling mothers producing, enabling and virtually guaranteeing amoral entitled little sociopath monsters has anything to do with anything.

Interesting, where the gun is said to have come from...

A Second Amendment Leader

Ross to Lead Second Amendment Task Force
Says Group Will Fight to Protect Second Amendment in Congress [More]

Cool.

How ya doin' on leading the demand for "Project Gunwalker" investigations, Congressman?

Congressman...?

Some leadership here...?

Anti-gun campus cop displays 'Only Ones' elitism

If we’re to follow Sgt. Stucky’s “logic” to its inevitable conclusion, and if we accept that the place for guns is not the classroom, we must also accept that there is no place for guns in any public setting—at least by non-“Only Ones." Because any danger “unofficial” armed adults would pose on campus premises would apply to wherever they are. [More]

This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at someone who considers himself just plain better than the rest of us when it comes to keeping and bearing arms.

This Day in History: March 29

A letter, of 25, from Baron Steuben was read, accompanied with a system of regulations for the infantry of the United States; also, a letter from the Board of War, representing that Baron Steuben, inspector general, has formed a system of exercise and discipline for the infantry of the United States; that the same has been submitted to the inspection of the Commander in Chief, and his remarks thereon and amendments incorporated in the work: that it has been examined with attention by the Board, and is highly approved, as being calculated to produce important advantages to the states; and therefore praying "that it may receive the sanction of Congress, and be committed to the press..."
