Offending Colin

"It offends me that people who have never faced a gunman in the confined space of a classroom would think that it makes sense to allow loaded guns on campus, and even through rights of way," Goddard said, after the guns on campus buildings portion of the bill was stripped. "Gov. Brewer apparently understood the dangers of allowing guns to be transported through school and college zones, and I applaud her for rejecting this legislation that needlessly put lives at risk. Given the tragedy of Tucson, it's heartening to see elected officials stand up to the gun lobby and wake up to what needs to be done to protect the public from gun violence." [More]

Let us work harder to offend this...this thing.

GRE Round Up for April 22

Have much to do today so here's the only abbreviated Round Up I'll have time for:

Dave Workman:

• BREAKING: NSSF, Gun owners react to threatened Mexico industry lawsuit

Kurt Hofmann:

• More evidence of guns pouring into Mexico--from the south

Liston Matthews:

• Does mayoral candidate Rogero understand the Second Amendment?

Yih-Chau Chang:

• The Absurdity of California's Public Safety Paradox

CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO...

...McDonalds...[Watch]

Lotta chairs there.

I believe that making an assessment of what is at hand as a matter of habit is an essential component of situational awareness.

Tracking Revisited

Earlier in the month I speculated about the ATF, Project Gunrunner, and GPS tracking chips. My thoughts on the subject were spurred by comments made by Michael Bane in his Down Range Radio podcast. [More]

This is the first I've heard of this speculation--no source I've communicated with has hinted at this. My initial reaction was to wonder if what we're really talking about is eTrace, but concede this may be a valid development to explore. I'd suggest finding out more about such chips, including specs, suppliers, etc., and seeing if any RFPs/competitive bidding/contract award docs can be discovered.

AP gives incomplete account of Chicago police sentiments on concealed carry

The disconnect between the AP account and the observations of a boots-on-the-ground peace officer documents another example of the failure of “authorized journalists” to completely inform the public, and why citizen journalists and new media fulfill a critical role...[More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report provides more documentation of how the "mainstream media" can advance an agenda simply by not mentioning all the facts.
